A 22-year-old mechanic just showed me his tool truck bill:
$47,000 in debt. $165 weekly payments. 28% interest rate.
This is the scam destroying America's skilled trades workers, and nobody's talking about it...

15 years ago I bought a burned-out 26 unit building for $90,000. Fire had gutted the interior. Three feet of water in the lower levels. No bank would touch it.
I paid out of pocket to demo it, then negotiated a loan that covered about half of what I needed. The banks said tiny apartments couldn’t rent above $500. We bet on $1,000.
I sold almost everything I owned to finish it, including my truck. Rode my bike to the job site.
Appraised for about 2.5 million when we finished.
parents: "move out"
girlfriend: “quit being such a loser”
boss: "work harder"

The creator god mode is no longer metaphorical. Once AI can write biological machines that survive wet labs, creation becomes an engineering workflow. Pharma gets faster, biosecurity gets darker, and synthetic life is moving onto the GPU curve.
Stanford and Arc Institute’s Evo work has now appeared in Nature, and the signal is blunt. AI was used to design full bacteriophage genomes, not just predict protein shapes. Researchers synthesized 302 fully AI-written designs. Sixteen became working viruses that infected, copied themselves, and killed E. coli.
This is the jump from AI reading biology to executing biology. Google's AlphaFold showed where proteins fold. Evo shows that genomes can become prompts, outputs, and products. One AI-designed phage even carried a capsid protein with no known natural relative. That means the model is not only remixing life. It is exploring design space nature never touched.
“This a 59% increase compared to other months AND June is the last month that the LSAT will be offered virtually.
After June, the exam will have to be taken in-person.”
OBGYN just told my wife to go on SSRIs during pregnancy
I asked if there’s studies she can show to make us comfortable
She said she doesn’t sit around reading medical literature but 70% of her patients are on them while pregnant
We have a health crisis in America
@zubiiix@eldivine I could say the same about your argument it’s CW. He could have easily signed a transaction to prove ownership also.
But regardless of who Satoshi is, they have very little upside of announcing themselves.
