Yes. And a private terrace with a hot tub above the bar patio. Still pretty stunning. And.... expensive!! We just had drinks.

Enjoy Taormina, Sicily, today.

@MidnightRider
I just took this picture from the Greek Theater above that hotel.

Enjoy the view from The Grande Timeo bar, Taormina, of Mt Etna today.

I think your issue is with the fundamental nature of the corporation.
People get jobs at companies. They are expected to deliver or they are fired.
Execs are trained in this environment.
And, struggling companies have even fewer morals guiding executives as they make brutal decisions to keep the corp alive.

Fix the corp and the good people will have breathing room to do the right thing. The rest quit.

Enjoy Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina, Sicily.

Enjoy Palermo today.

AI can totally deliver the value that higher education can deliver.

Just not yet.

Maybe in 2-3 years.

I wouldn't bucket all of these people into a copass-less category. I've worked with plenty of laborers with no moral compass. And I've known many MBAs that directed their skills at helping humanity via low paying jobs.

@Animeraider
I suppose the reaction should be "what can I affect and what affects me?" Then act accordingly.

I'm on vacation... thinking deep thoughts.

Don't ask AI (Chat GPT 4o) too broad of a question that includes numerical results.
Ask precise questions, but confirm with spot checks.

The AI mixed up $ and volume.

The AI told me the world's wine-grape production was $237b. A recent report said $36b.
But, the report also said that 237 million hectoliters were produced.

Enjoy Capriccioli Beach, Sardinia, today.

Enjoy sunset at Porto de Cervo on the Costa Smeralda, Sardinia tonight.

Enjoy Castelsardo, Sardinia, today.
North coast.

It is easy to be absurd if you lack shame.

Condi Rice?
She dismissed the report by Tenant and Black about the threat. In my opinion it was one of our pinnacle moments of misguided heuristics. She was underpowered for the gig and insufficiently curious.

Enjoy Sardinia this morning.

I just shared this with my wife.
Big laugh!

Enjoy Bosa Sardinia
