He sold his Bugatti to build a Church (and a university, and a small town.)
Tom Monaghan founded Domino’s Pizza and became a billionaire. He bought yachts, private jets, and the Detroit Tigers.
Then he read C.S. Lewis and had a massive reversion to his Catholic faith. He took a "millionaire's vow of poverty," sold the Tigers, sold his fleet of classic cars (including a $8M Bugatti), and gave away his fortune.
He used the money to build a Catholic university (Ave Maria) and a massive Church in Florida.
He proved that you can serve God or Money, but not both. But he also proved money is not evil, and as any tool can be used for good in the right hands.
do you understand what just happened to your computer..
Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..
It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.
And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.
Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.
At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.
The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.
Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel
To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.
Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.
ANTHROPIC ACABA DE ARREGLAR UNO DE LOS MAYORES PROBLEMAS DE CLAUDE
Los límites de uso.
Después de meses de usuarios quejándose de quedarse sin mensajes en Claude, Anthropic acaba de cerrar un acuerdo con SpaceX para conseguir más capacidad de compute.
Y los cambios llegan hoy:
→ Límites de Claude Code duplicados para Pro, Max y Team
→ Eliminado el throttling en horas punta
→ Mucho más límite para la API de Opus
→ +300 MW extra de capacidad desde Colossus 1
Había gente pagando $200/mes y agotando el límite en menos de una hora.
Ese era probablemente el mayor punto débil de Claude frente a OpenAI.
Ahora Anthropic está recurriendo a infraestructura de SpaceX para intentar seguir el ritmo de la demanda.
It will be exactly like the “Machine Storm”, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. There will be heartbreaking stories, some (mili percentages) hardware destroyed, some end up in jail and at the end of the story the market forces will win like they always do, new tech wins (like electricity, machines, internet, ai and robotics).
And you know what? The labour force will adapt.
Adapt earlier than your coworker and you are fine.
See you on the other side.
Most people are unprepared for what's bearing down on us.
The food supply is in serious trouble and it's only going to get worse.
The weather in Europe has started hitting food prices. Expect prices to more than double on imports.
That's before factoring in oil prices and the increased cost of ttansport.
In addition to that, the World's fertiliser supply is down 30%.
That means farmers will be limited in the crops they can afford to plant, so less harvests later this year.
If you think things are getting bad now, just wait until August September, and that's hoping that the weather will be beneficial to crop growth, which is optimistic when geoengineering, and those behind it, are actively controlling our climate. 🤬
