Might be treading the RICO waters here, but how do we organize all home buyers outside of the boomer generation, to cap offers on boomer-owned homes at pre-2016 valuations?
If we could get it down to the 2010 values, that'd be great, but we're trying to keep it realistic.
Ultimately, we should strive to prevent them from extracting equity from us as a generation, or at the very least, prevent them from selling assets at overinflated prices at our expense. Why are we subsidizing a retirement they didn't earn?
This is the exact kind of "I wish I could" dork that works at all of these gambling companies. All of these guys are obsessively in love with the sport, but have no athletic ability to do anything in it. Filled with jealousy, they act like the lil hoe in this video, and places like Polymarket amplify it because the people who work there can relate.
The worldโs largest residential proxy network runs on consent, TLS and vibes. The TV is always watching and apparently it is also available for contract work in surveillance or data acquisition? Bright Data sells access to a residential proxy network, the kind customers use to route requests through real home IP addresses instead of datacenter IPs that Cloudflare, DataDome and HUMAN are trained to block. The supply comes from an SDK embedded in consumer apps. So: CTV games, messengers, mobile apps and screensavers. With consent somewhere upstream, the device becomes an exit node. The TV is perfect for this job. It is plugged in, on WiFi, often unattended and barely supervised. It also asks for consent through a privacy policy and a remote-control UI, which is one way to make โinformed choiceโ look like an endurance sport. One config flag tells the SDK to ignore whether the screen is on. Another tells it to ignore whether the user is on a call. In this economy, watching TV counts as downtime. https://t.co/WvFVvEFrzY
Sam Altman said AI budgeting has recently become a "huge issue" for some companies, something that "never came up" earlier this year. https://t.co/P2zODBNmDp
Kathleen Thomas was issued a citation in February after a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled her over for allegedly using a phone with her right hand. But Thomas doesn't have a right hand. This week, the officer requested that the citation be dismissed.
Here's bodycam footage of the traffic stop.
$HOOD - ROBINHOOD LETS AI TRADE STOCKS AND MAKE PURCHASES
Robinhood Markets is rolling out a feature that lets customers delegate investing and credit-card spending decisions to AI agents.
Users can connect tools like Anthropicโs Claude or Cursor to a dedicated account where the AI can place stock trades, manage portfolios, and execute spending tasks within set limits and alerts.
For credit cards, AI agents can search for deals, book travel, and secure tickets using a virtual Gold card, while users retain control through spending caps, approvals, and instant notifications.
For now, the system is limited to stock trading, with options and crypto support planned later.
๐จ THE ENTIRE AI BOOM MIGHT BE BUILT ON FAKE REVENUE.
Latest corporate filings show that OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up over half of the entire $2 trillion future cloud backlog held by Microsoft, Oracle, Google, and Amazon.
This massive pipeline is actually being created through a circular accounting trick called a round trip revenue loop.
But how it works ?
A tech giant gives billions of dollars to an AI startup as an "investment". But hidden in the contract is a strict rule forcing the startup to hand that exact same money straight back to the tech giant to rent their computer servers.
Look at the documented case of Microsoft and OpenAI.
When Microsoft invested $13 billion into OpenAI, it didn't just give them cash; it gave them "cloud credits" to use Microsoft servers. OpenAI used those exact credits to train its AI models, and Microsoft then turned around and recorded that server usage as brand new "cloud revenue" from a customer.
The tech giant is literally paying itself with its own money and calling it a sale.
This is why OpenAIโs annual cloud bill has ballooned to over $60 billion, double its actual revenue of $25 billion, kept alive solely by this recycled funding loop.
Anthropic runs the exact same play, spending $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in just nine months, which was basically 100% of all the money it earned at the time.
This manufactured demand triggers a second accounting trick where tech giants book massive paper profits. Every time a startup gets a higher value from a new funding round, the tech giant updates the value of its investment on its books and counts that unearned paper gain as direct profit.
In Q1 2026, Alphabet reported a record $62.6 billion profit, but $28.7 billion nearly half, was just a paper markup on its Anthropic investment. In the same quarter, Amazon reported $30.3 billion in profit, but $16.8 billion of it was just an Anthropic paper gain.
While Amazon reported record profits, its actual free cash flow collapsed 95% to just $1.2 billion because it had to spend $44.2 billion in real cash to build physical data centers.
This has created a massive danger where these giant companies rely heavily on just one or two unstable startups. Microsoft has 49% of its $627 billion future backlog tied to OpenAI, while Oracle has an incredible 54% of its entire $553 billion pipeline relying on OpenAI alone.
This perfectly mirrors the 2001 dot-com crash when Global Crossing and Qwest Communications swapped identical fiber-optic network capacity with each other just to book fake sales.
Qwest had to erase $1.4 billion in fake income, and Global Crossing went completely bankrupt.
The only difference is that the dot-com swaps were illegal, but today's AI loop is fully legal under current accounting rules.
This legal loop inflates tech company stock prices, forcing automatic retirement accounts and index funds to buy even more of these tech stocks. It is a self feeding loop where investments, sales, and stock prices all go up on paper without the AI technology ever making real cash profits.
You look at these elections or anything else where the general public has input and think you can save these people? Fuck that, you think theyโre worth saving?
