The majority of the Odd Lots episodes this week have been about an “AI bubble” or bubble adjacent talk. Tech Policy Press released a podcast episode about a bubble. On top of the reaction the thinking machines valuation I think we’ve reached mainstream concern and it’s only going to get louder.

Man I resent the idea that New York needs to be unpleasant to live in to be authentic so much, it’s pervasive and it holds the city back in so many ways
left NIMBYism is a study in cognitive dissonance and paradoxes:
the homes are simultaneously vacant yet full of rich people
the homes are simultaneously “luxury” yet “shitholes”

Interesting email here from Elisa New, Harvard professor and wife to Larry Summers, to Epstein, reflecting on Lolita.
"...it's about a man whose life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl."

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
