I don't mind being accused of using AI because @DavidSacks told me that it wasn't AI that was going to take my job, it was someone using AI that would. So by all means, keep accusing me of using AI. It's the future.

Movie goers just want something new (yes I get that PHM was a book).

They’re tired of IP, sequels, and superhero slop.

I think Doomsday is in trouble.

[Sar Haribhakti @sarthakgh]

“When Democratic Socialists who hate free market capitalism push to block deals, they do something worse than inconveniencing shareholders, they hurt the workers they claim to represent….The jobs that vanished, the equity that evaporated, the routes that disappeared, they’re the cost of policy driven by ideology rather than outcomes.”

“The reflexive interventionism that’s been normalized in progressive regulatory circles, wrapped in “consumer-protection” language while union lobbyists and political point-scorers cheer from the sidelines, keeps producing results that hurt everyone. And the people who pay are never the politicians. They’re the workers who lose jobs, the founders and employees whose equity disappears, and the consumers who pay higher prices, frequently for scarce or worse products.

At some point the question isn’t “should this deal happen?” It’s whether we trust markets or bureaucratic committees more to allocate the future, and if we want to take a step towards freedom or tyrannical state control. Committees don’t have a great track record or even the right incentive structure to make the right calls. They’re working from static models in a dynamic world, insulated from consequences, with every institutional incentive to intervene, score political points and look busy mucking with a productive system— and none to ever admit they were wrong. On the other hand, the freer American markets are and people actually in the game building the world aren’t nanny-stated to death, the more we all prosper.”
