JUST IN: Gokce Guven, fintech entrepreneur behind Kalder and a Forbes 2025 30 Under 30 recipient, could serve up to 52 years behind bars amid accusations of a $7 million scam.
Beyond dystopian, beyond the degeneracy of gambling culture, this is bleak.
This is a rejected @blackmirror script.
It would have been comically unbelievable two years ago but here we are.

US Consumer Sentiment Index approaches record low in Nov, dropping nearly 11% from Oct: the drop was "led by a 17% drop in current personal finances and a 11% decline in year-ahead expected business conditions": https://t.co/mPTa9Oeqwu
Legacy media and academics often argue for two incompatible claims against new technologies, especially as they begin to succeed:
1. It’s a bubble.
2. It will ruin society.
If it’s a bubble, then it’s fake and can’t ruin anything beyond speculator portfolios.
If it’s going to ruin society, it’s not fake, and not a bubble.
We saw this with bitcoin for years and years under various guises:
“It’s for criminals” and “it’s useless”
If it’s useless why would criminals … use it?
“It’s going to boil the oceans” and “it’s going to zero.”
If it’s going to boil the oceans then the block reward, priced in bitcoin, must be in the many millions, like very soon. Hard to do that when it’s also zero!
Anyway, these same kinds of argument patterns are popping up with AI. The people behind them aren’t really responsive to the evidence. They’re just throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks because they’re elitist doom merchants fundamentally against technological progress. Unhappy people craving social points from a circle of people who just know better than anyone else despite never making or providing anything of true value.
A fun experiment: enter one of these social circles and argue the other way, and, as a bonus, compliment the founders. The reflexive condescension and contempt will be discernible.
Optimism and gratitude is so much better for your soul, and generally your portfolio.
