Wait. Is this real?
And yes, it’s exhausting and stupid that 10 years in, I’m still asking.
Seriously. I also want to know if it's real.
Just looked it up, it’s real. In Truth Social.
Edit: if this happens, I propose we call him “Tim Nvidia formerly known as Tim Apple” going forward.
Tim Chips
John Silicon
Timvidia.
Wait what? I thought this was made as a meme. Lmao ofc its real tho
Yes
Holy fuck he actually didn't call him Tim Apple!
And i do not think that Cook, who is sitting in a very comfortable position where they can profit from the AI boom, but still have a stable basis to return to if the bubble bursts, would like to take that potential bull ride of a job.
He didn't call him anything. Notice the dash. AI generated.
Did you hit your head somewhere? A lot of people use dashes - including myself. Learn what they're even used for, illiterate bakka!
No, he doesn't use them when he actually writes posts himself. This was a staffer using AI to generate the post.
What a rude response, there are entire articles about this.

That's about an entirely different symbol, the em dash
Em dash: —
Dash: ‐
The fact you don't even know the difference is why it was such a hallmark of AI. It was previously used primarily in formal writing like published literature and academia
It's actually become more common in layspeak though because of AI, but primarily because it's automatically used when doing 2 dashes on many modern systems
Slightly funny story... I agree with the concept---I was mistaken (and corrected recently); and that many tools like markdown or Word treat TWO hyphens as an EN dash and to get an EM dash you need THREE!
I love abusing the semicolon, the ellipsis and the hyphen/dash(es) to indicate a mild pause when transliterating casual speech to text. To my horror, I'd been using the wrong one!
I also abuse parenthesis. I blame learning lisp as a child.
No, you are rude for spreading wrong information A lot of literate people write with ashes and no, I don't care who wrote what, it's a part of English, there is nothing to be said about it - deal with it.
The em dash is the one associated with AI. The dash is a different symbol
Em dash: —
Dash: -
@Taldan @Doomsider That's a hyphen. Here's an "en dash" for you: –

Hyphen is colloquially called a dash. I simply kept the naming convention being used in the thread

I've cracked the code. I have learned robospeak.
He doesn't use dashes when he types. AI generated.
Or you can search for 15 seconds and find a source if you’re skeptical, which you should be.
You may have to scroll a bit cause this MF posts all the time
No, I don't mean AI as in it is fake. AI as in his staffer used AI to write the Truth Social post.
Trump truly only cares about bribes
His big economic win is AI, and his primary foreign policy is beating China. Huang funneled top chips to China to the tune of billions of dollars. Literally the worst thing he could do for Trump's goals, yet this is Trump's response
Guess those million dollar donations did what they were supposed to
His primary foreign economic policy is get money and bitches. No allegiance to anyone that doesn't facilitate that.
They unironically should is that Tim runs Nvidia into the ground lol
Tim Apple will save us!!!!
Tim Apple
