@libsoftiktok After multiple years of rightfully complaining about lawfare against Trump - turning around and celebrating this instead of saying we shouldn’t be doing lawfare period, is pretty disingenuous

@businessbarista When I saw how long it was I never expected to read the whole tweet, but the content kept me engaged and the authenticity certainly came through to the reader - I like the format!

@DavMicRot @mtaibbi I think you are missing the part where this is way bigger and more systemic than 2 dinosaur presidents

Game theory on the Bing announcement…

Microsoft is trying to lower Google’s search margins which will make it harder for Google to continue running Cloud and other competitive businesses at a loss.

Google processes ~8.5 billion searches per day. The noise around Bing/AI will force Google to release an AI chat feature within search. The current inference costs for LLMs are significantly higher than search - likely 10x or more. In addition, the monetization model for AI chat is unclear, but it's likely different than the ad-based model Google has mastered.

Google's search business is highly profitable and funds other loss-making business lines. Historically, they have operated cloud at a loss (-$480mm in Q4 FY22) to compete more aggressively. Lowering search margins applies pressure to every other Alphabet business…many of which are competitive with Microsoft.

Yes, Trump and Biden and Hillary all mishandled classified documents. You could argue "who did it worse," or you can question if we really need a system that crushes ordinary workers who fall afoul of it while excusing the same "crimes" if done by elites.

@Chrisjjosephs Of the entire $1.7 trillion, these examples make up less than .000001% of the spending. What do you have against the bees come on now

@elonmusk If the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now. #TwitterFiles

@nytimes If only SBF had purchased Twitter instead 😢

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Transparency in social media companies is rare, but is essential. That is why, in my opinion, this is historic and really great to see. Transparency helps keep people honest and minimize undue influence from politics and money.

Dear @TheJusticeDept: is $30 million in stolen donations to Dems enough to get you a lifetime get out of jail card?

[sucks @powerbottomdad1]

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

I just listened to Biden's Philadelphia Speech.

One overarching reaction. The speech was 1/3 of a speech. There are three groups threatening US Democracy. No one can give the needed speech until they all out all three groups:

A) Extractocrats
B) Wokestanis
C) MAGAstanis

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

I’m completely confused by any Americans who want to re-elect Donald Trump or Joe Biden. I just don’t get it.

This is a country of Hundred’s of Millions of decent smarter, younger less damaged people with proven success records and a desire to unite people.

It makes zero sense.

@LiebermanAustin What investing software is this? Really digging the layout

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally

[logan bartlett @loganbartlett]

Twitter remains the best way ever invented to joke with thousands of people who don’t like or understand jokes.
