Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Saw this last week but didn't see much commentary, there should be more, because it's an example of how industry concerns about the workability of regulation are often shot down, but ultimately prove true.

C'est la fin de l'été, période où, ayant un peu plus de temps, j'essaie toujours de lire au moins un livre de théorie politique. Ces derniers temps, je prends un par un les livres de Judith Shklar. Cette année, Shklar sur la théorie sociale de Rousseau.

I made up my accounts, and find myself ‘de claro’ worth about 530l., and no more, so little have I increased it since my last reckoning; but I confess I have laid out much money in clothes.

Great podcast episode: MIT's Emil Verner on Banking Crises, Credit Booms, and the Rise of Populism.
The bit abt Hungary at the end really ties the episode together. Bank runs don't come out of nowhere, neither do political turmoils.
