Tech wars

Just as I was starting to feel good after a nice weekend and excited to get back to the grind, life decides to strike back. Colin has a slight fever and had to come home from daycare yesterday. Starting yesterday afternoon I started to experience quite a bit of fatigue. And despite sleeping for almost 8 hours, I woke up exhausted.

I made it into the office but may try to head home early depending on how I feel in a couple hours. I suppose I should start getting used to being sick all the time. I can’t say I wasn’t warned about this with kids and daycare/school.

On another note, I saw that Elon and Sam Altman started a public feud yesterday. Elon posted on X alluding that Apple is unfairly making OpenAI’s chat bots #1 on the app store and making it impossible for anyone else to overtake them. Of course, Altman fired back accusing Elon of using X to boost his own Tweets.

These feuds between some of the richest tech leaders has been going on for some time, but there’s something oddly entertaining about this cycle. I suppose tech leaders of the past were much more silent and in the background than the modern age. Social media has fueled this and created a platform for fanboys to take sides. Elon has a following more akin to a cult nowadays that would defend his every action, good or bad.
