It is kind of interesting that this might be one of the times where the second mouse gets the cheese.
OAI did a lot of groundbreaking work initially. But chewed up so much cash and went so far into debt that they might not survive this.
They had no roadmap. They had no plan to commercialize.

openai is the only company with a ton of debt, their blast radius might include some other companies if they implode, the remainder will be just fine and will probably continue basically the same as they are now almost no matter what

Will second that the Twin Cities are an incredibly fun place to visit, especially if you're into food. Genuinely world-class restaurants often doing interesting, off-the-beaten-path stuff all over the place, and plenty of crowdpleasers too.
If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

This is absolutely insane and a scandal
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Back when my dad opened my first Roth IRA when I was younger and was teaching me about stocks, he put a fairly sizable chunk of it into McDonald’s in January 2003. Saying something like “they’re not going away anytime soon”

Trump underwater by 30+ points in the suburbs? Extinction level event in the twin cities.
In a potentially ominous sign for Minnesota Republicans, Trump's approval in the Twin Cities suburbs — the battleground for both the Legislature and statewide races — is low.
In the suburbs, 65% said they disapprove of Trump’s handling of his job.

Explanations?
1) Incriminating Epstein documents being circulated internally
2) Illegal activities discovered in the business
3) Extraordinary coincidence

January Employment Situation Report due at 8:30 ET. Economists expect +65k NFP; I see some downside risk to that. On the unemployment side, rate expected stable at 4.4%; I also see downside risk there given recent continuing claims data. We'll also get the final benchmark revision for March '25.

It’s a good lesson, I guess - the fringe left will never care what you do, how much you put on the line, it will sell you out in a heartbeat for not being the exact same kind of communist as they are.
