How does one sign up to be a billionaire’s export?

Asking for a friend

And what do we do when we see a predator online, kids?

That’s right, Duck and Cover!

And that people are reaaaaalllly slow readers.

I hesitated… it really seems like dumber is the winning move these days.

Can we not just silently enable AI features because we say they are safe?

Seems like we could… just not.

It was silently launched & on by default. Even if I trust apple engineers to have done this well, I don’t like the precedent that they don’t have to ask permission as long as *they* think it’s okay.

This article spends more time on that aspect than privacy.

Is it that the friction on the outside of the ecosystem is so great in your opinion that these efficiencies on the inside are dwarfed?

Or is it just the reputational damage done by the scammers that occupy the same ecosystem that makes extracting these innovations intractable?

In Crypto, I can discover arbitrage opportunities. Others can provide the liquidity. there is no risk because the transaction only succeeds if we all get paid.

I don't even have to ask because the liquidity pool only cares if its terms are met: there isn't even discovery friction in this market.

As an engineer, I have limited options to innovate in finance. In essence, find a wealthy benefactor or work for a large institution.

Here is another way to see it: it’s a financial brand. One that says something about the bearer. Something you don’t like which is probably the point.

Bitcoin is Pepsi to Gold’s Coca-Cola.

It’s the choice of a new generation.

Can’t it be all those things? digital gold.
speculative asset.
crime facilitator.

What is the prize at the end of the rainbow for caring about it? Just ignore it. It’s easier to trace than Benjamins so, we should welcome the crime. Should be self-correcting.

Am I naive thinking that the demand-side argument would have to flow through normies?

Who was out there buying all the milk if demand was the reason its price went up?

Do you know anyone who got a stimmy check and was like “hot damn, i am buying 2 dozen eggs this time!”
