@stratechery@benthompson Anthropic’s position that they must “abruptly disable” access “for all our customers to ensure compliance” is standard lobbying/legal counsel faire. Every industry deploys this tactic to escalate against regulation. That’s why the cynicism is healthy.
@JamesonCamp Yes, it’s very typical. 15 min increments. I even worked at one that required 60 billable hours per week like a law firm. My assumption on the accounting side was there’s a write-off if you “spend” more time than you billed.
@owroot Seems to be a dynamic on many platforms where there are plateau points you must outlast in order to hit the next period of growth. I’ve seen it on Substack too.
I nodded as they wrote about the United States of Asia. Today, Michael Green writes “We are witnessing a phase transition in American society: The shift from Class to Caste.” Time to build, there’s no time to wait.
I wonder how many @BowTiedBull readers agree with their macro view, but haven’t taken action yet. 80%? That’s been me, but in the last 60 days I’ve earned my first paltry WiFi money. It’s real.
Enjoyed the @stevenrinella take on AI on #JRE. What he’s describing is being above or beneath the algorithm. Some writing will fall beneath, as he says, the trick will be to stay above.
This one is thoroughly lodged in my brain, but I think it’s wrong. You have people living above the algorithm and below. Similar to how people seem to get stuck driving uber and delivering food, except with crypto those under the algorithm have a small chance of hitting it big.
With this $TRUMP coin insanity, I’m starting to get it. Most Boomers/Gen X are just too attached to the physical world. I’d say 1/2 of Millennials, all Gen Z, live in the digital world. Younger folks would rather buy digital Real Estate than own a house, land or physical assets

On the contrary, it is testimony to their great strength of character that, having understood the moral and aesthetic chaos of the world into which they were born, they each of them recognized that there is only one honest response to it, which is to live your life as an example
“…a new fancy car, a house, a watch, likes on Instagram are nothing more than circus trinkets left on the ground after the show of life is over, to be swept up with the elephant shit before they turn the lights off.” @radigancarter
