Was doing some DD on the conservative (ahem, free speech!) platform Rumble to see how real their product is because they just bought one of the most blatantly obvious fr$uds in Europe (and Lutnick owns a bunch so surprised with lack of pump), and honestly, kinda surprised it suggested me this

Its not as grandiose as the current SV crypto or AI founder grift, but theres probably a pretty sweet arbitrage here for a Western to just create vapourware companies, get the monies from the CCP and then ride off into the sunset

They are so much better than the West at this its actually laughable. And as an aside - crypto really does bring out the worst people in the world, the industry needs to die

Shock many now express at seeing these things is derivative of increasing # of online subcultures going IRL. Anyone nowadays can become a member of one, social media: perfect funnel. & not to praise kids edgelording as Nazis, but there are far worse online subcultures out there still in the closet

If you think that AI by, say, 2030 will achieve even 25% of what the current consensus view seems to be, shouldn't the majority of people quit to work in the field or launching starts ups to sell and get the bag before it gets rough?

For the European economy, the unfortunate reality is that it is trapped between the hammer of China's export-led growth and the anvil of US tariffs.
Trade deals with new partners can help, but domestic demand and internal reforms matter far more.

Folks reach too quickly for the 'Europe should pivot to China' line in response to Trump’s tariffs. It’s a vibes argument that shatters on contact with reality.
China’s market isn’t growing for EU exporters – it’s shrinking. At home, competition is getting fiercer as China exports its way...

Good Bloomberg piece.
And agree with JP Morgan: “Some of this is the fact that China has very cleverly found other export markets, including Europe, which has been a key hedge to slowing exports to the US.”
High time the IMF puts this at the top of the agenda.

If the EU had any balls they would be exploiting the heck out of these fumbles. $100,000 fee for h1b would be a gift for any Euro government worth a damn about policy

Haven't enjoyed the Daily for a bit, but this was an interesting one, particularly the first story*. We have seen social media melting the brain of large % of population.

What America is going through is not unusual in historical terms. Plenty of examples like it today elsewhere in the world.
What makes it unusual is the rapid collapse from a set of widely espoused norms and values that centered on liberty. It is the sacking of the shining city on hill that shocks.

The gang re-invents corporate taxes
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Axios he wants the U.S. to get a cut of university patent revenue. That could disrupt the entire startup ecosystem, @danprimack.bsky.social writes.
