"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration.

I know it’s satire. You know it’s satire. We also know it’s an entirely plausible scenario.
After finishing Gladiator 2; Trump declared that the US and Italy have been allies since the time of Ancient Rome. This is how the translator reacted.

Russia spent at least $50 million to manipulate the Romanian election and a court overturned the vote. Meanwhile, Elon Musk spent at least $250 million to manipulate the US election, not including the purchase of Twitter (X) or the other avenues of manipulation used by Russia.
Elon Musk used at least $250M to have Trump elected, the funds were used to interfere with the election through manipulation, disinfo, and bribery (lobbies). This estimate does not include the purchase of X (Twitter) which played an overwhelming role in the electoral interference. #spookyconnections

In less than 10 minutes, a US teen made a small fortune selling off a memecoin he’d made on a lark. Traders, feeling swindled, sought revenge.

I think AI is eating tech employment from both ends.
Gen AI doesn’t just make software programming more productive, reducing the need for new hires. It’s also INCREDIBLY expensive to buy GPUs/data center space/run inference, so the capex budget could easily nibble into the new-hires budget.

Continues to be a brutal labor market for the tech sector—net hiring has been 32k over the last year, compared to ~175k pre-COVID and ~250k at peak in 2022
