However, Peretti says BuzzFeed’s new social media platform will use AI “to give users agency instead of stealing their agency.” (It’s unclear what that means.)

Woo. More AI.

Yeah, but if those Bitcoin were “out there somewhere”, and you’d never have to think about money ever again if you found them…

Do the Falklands count as a country? I’m not sure what the situation is there.

Also, New Zealand is pretty high up on the list.

That doesn’t surprise me at all, there are a number of platforms for short form, portrait mode content, but a platform where absolutely anyone can upload a 4k or higher resolution video, up to 12 hours long, at no cost to either them or the viewer?

The bolts on the back of the diff would puncture the fuel tank, so it would help with both.

We regularly look at photographs taken at the dawn of photography, and read documents created hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
