Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella, Sergey Brin and Sundar Pichai were all there dining with Trump.

Weird how Tim Cook gets so much hate, when the rest of them didn't. He didn't say anything notable except a bit of ring-kissing: "I want to thank you for setting the tone such that we can make a major investment ..."

Then Sergey Brin starts talking about how he's happy about Trump pressuring Maduro:

You're applying a lot of pressure to Maduro and I think that's phenomenal for an American president to actually be applying pressure there uh in Venezuela and then hopefully in Cuba and so forth. So there's a lot of um civil rights work that you're leading. we didn't get a chance to mention. Um I also just wanted to mention um we don't have to get into all the uh details talked about in the Oval Office, but uh I think it's a real incredible inflection point right now in AI and the fact that your administration uh is uh supporting our companies instead of fighting with them."

So, reading between the lines a little, i.e. Google looking depose dictators and burn lots of oil to keep their AI slop churning is totally fine:

As you say elswhere in this thread:

> Indeed, but it doesn't hurt to be a bit more selective and future thinking when choosing a stack or tools.

So if Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook are off the table, what's your stack looking like?
