A glimmer of hope:
On finance.yahoo.com, the BTC ticker has been broken for a few days now.
If anyone visiting that site cared about BTC they would have moaned and it would have been fixed it by now.
How there is any demand for these virtual tulip bulbs is still unbelievable to me.

I can't write overtly racist things (illegal in Denmark).
But I can create an LLM.
And that LLM can write racist things.
Wasn't me.

They ARE the problem. If these people had integrity Trump wouldn't be president, or rich, or have an audience.
Cowards all.
Cowards all.
Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

Sure Bitcoin is down a little, but just wait until I Photoshop lasers into my eyes, talk about "store of value" and post videos of eccentric men with unusual clothes/hats talking about blockchain energy waste being a battery.
Few.

I honestly believe that very few people are going to change their beliefs or views on Trump regardless of what's in those Epstein files
Maga people do not see old men having sex with teen girls as a negative. Everything is transactional to them. They got to stay in a nice house and paid with sex.

x cost too much, so let's give people extra money to buy x.
X now cost even more.
Same applies to houses.
Making it easier to borrow does not help the buyer, it helps the sellers/owners.
So chatter about "helping buyers" is a sign of stress for the seller/owners.
Cracks are forming.

Do we need algorithmic content generation?
Of course not.
Just like we don't need our arms and legs when we have good enough robots that can feed and wash our bodies.
Just like we don't need to exercise our brain, when we can get a much better brain to think on our behalf.
Of course not.

The sexual abuse of young women is one thing.
The other thing is how much shit did Epstein (or the org he worked for) get done by pressuring his guests with the footage they obtained?

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.
Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

The real problem with FSD comes when the car makes a catastrophic mistake once per year.
Not a single driver is going to be able to remain vigilant when the car drives "perfectly" 364 out of 365 days
So when it finally does "decide" to plow into a child, they will be asleep at the wheel.
