It’s more complicated than this, but interesting to be getting this much attention in a major publication

Amazing new Banksy
This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Fascinating! And this is in addition to tarrifs, immigration shrinkage, not to mention much higher levels of pressure on the Fed !

This is related and of interest you @techequity.us and @catherinebracy.com along with many others!
Greystar was using rent-setting algorithms from software company RealPage, the subject of a 2022 ProPublica investigation that showed the firm was helping landlords decide prices in a way that legal experts said could result in cartel-like behavior.

America’s Largest Landlord Makes Deal With DOJ to Settle Price-Fixing Claims in RealPage Case
Greystar, which manages nearly 950,000 apartments, has agreed to stop using “anti-competitive” algorithms to suggest rents. ProPublica previously showed how such software lets landlords set rents in a...

Can you hear the people sing?
Tense scene out here. People booing and shaming unidentified federal law enforcement as they stand in the middle of the street, posted to pull people over for random checks.

It was great to interview @catherinebracy.com about her fantastic book about the VC industry and also to touch on #AI Risk and Safety issues towards the end
Our Founder and CEO @catherinebracy.com went on Paradigm Shock to talk about how venture capital’s dominance in funding tech imposes a narrow, and sometimes reckless, business culture.

Great episode with these guys, especially talking about #hulkamania for some of us Gen Xers!
We were lucky enough to be joined by @josie.zone on this week's episode of NORMAL MEN to talk about the world Hulk Hogan and wrestling have wrought!

That's after an ample helping of food delivery discourse and the cultural, economic, financial, and technological forces that consume us.
Normal Men
Normal Men is four guys talking about the news. We want to help explain what's happening in the world around us and have some laughs along the way. And we think you might enjoy hearing what we have to...

This is quite something! #paradigmshock we are witnessing
This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

This time the BRICS are starting to look real, though maybe they should call it “China and the BRIS Street Band”
Meanwhile in Brazil:
"... Two American giants of twentieth-century industry—Ford and GE—sold their plants in Camacari to BYD and Gold Wind respectively, which are the world’s largest EV and wind turbine manufacturers...". AND...
"... BYD’s first “made in Brazil” car rolled out this week... "

This looks like a must read book on #AIAllignment, among many other reasons as well!
🇨🇱 In Chile, where AI data centers threaten the country’s precious water resources, Karen Hao makes the case that AI firms are building their wealth off resource extraction and labor exploitation reut.rs/3GmhZPy
Karen Hao on how the AI boom became a new imperial frontier
The author of “Empire of AI” traces how OpenAI’s global reach is reshaping labor, energy and power — and why she sees echoes of empire in its rise.

Indeed! Thanks for posting. Good to hear @morganricks1.bsky.social @nathantankus.bsky.social and other monetary “plumbing” experts were in the house! I wonder if Darrel Duffie from Stanford was there talking about the risks associated with dealer balance sheet capacity on TR market liquidity

I really enjoyed the banter! Honestly as good as any “Pro” roundtable discussion on TV, probably better actually

Fascinating!
The photographer Buck Ellison goads us to contemplate not just the existence of an American ruling class but the invisible lineaments of wealth, power, and race that undergird its existence.
What Old Money Looks like in America, and Who Pays for It
Buck Ellison serves bluebloods up for public scrutiny as only one of their own could.

Two Minnesota state legislators were shot in their homes last night according to early news reports. There is an ongoing manhunt
