I really, really strongly encourage you to watch Aaron's clips of the Trump-Mamdani meeting, not just read his recaps.

This is a totally different Trump than we ever normally see. It's wild to see him like this—and Mamdani is the one who brought it out in him. There's a lesson here.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?

TRUMP: I would. I really would.

FT saying it like it is

"$100bn of frozen Russian assets would be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild Ukraine’s shattered economy — with America receiving 50 per cent of any profits."

lol, Tesla is BBB credit rated, by the same rating agencies that were "key enablers" of the 2008 meltdown, labelling junk CDO's as AAA.

Forget Musk's latest pay package, his last one could wipe out years of Tesla profits | Reuters

Clear and concise writing.
I’m not worried that the AI bubble will herald the end of capitalism as we know it - or even the end of the AI boom.

I'm worried that it will result in a massive upwards transfer of wealth - and further endanger our democracies in the process.

Big tech companies and wealthy investors are driving an AI bubble - but they won't be the ones feeling the pain when it bursts.

Michael Saylor, proud owner of 650,000 #BTC (Bitcoins) through his (Micro)Strategy vehicle, at an average price of $74,433, was looking at a book profit of $48 billion just six weeks ago.
<$4 billion today.
But he's AI meme shitpoasting thru it, bless him.

Well, if 639 notifications from my fake name LinkedIn and Quora accounts is typical of the "learning" input for Gemini, then no wonder it's shit.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Sweaty palm days in the Bitcoin* world.
Dipped under 90k today, that's 27% down in a month.

This is a good read.

Many of the arguments he debunks/contextualises are made here.

One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*.

They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.

It's St Martin's Day today; my Polish deli forced me to buy some delicious almond iced croissants.

We have St Martin's on the Wall Church locally, a lovely little 1000 year old one room church, with a part fresco of Martin of Tour giving half his cloak to a beggar.

Not a peep: strange.
