Youre technically right and I understand what you’re saying but you’re functionally incorrect here amigo.

There is almost no ‘asset’ on earth Musk personally would want that he could not ‘get’ liquid.

The ones he would want (companies) funds could come thru capital mkts, secured by his stock.

It’s reasonable in that sense that his *true* purchasing power is OVER $1T because of the capital he could marshall and control.

Come on!

In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths.

Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.

I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself.

This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated.

I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?"

"Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way."

"But the store loses."

"Yep. On purpose."

On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands.

In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one.

A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir."

It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow.

I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.

Some prices are not prices. They are promises.

I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back.

The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars.

Long may it spin.

@ivanburazin @JWLevitt @philshungry I think this is a feature not a bug and why the PE industry makes consistent returns and why most VCs go out of business?

@pansareV @Merridew__ @DeepDishEnjoyer @DanielleFong Takes like these are *literally* the problem. 0 civics.
US Govt,eg:
1. Go to a hospital with no $$ - who pays
2. Roads for your amazon order
3. Electric power
The sheer lack of appreciation for obvious stuff is insane.

@koylanai "It's time to build eval infrastructure that makes swapping a model a config change and that gathers data from model runs (and its users) 24/7."
Is anyone doing this?

Any harnesses that output their own debugging logs?

Feels like it should exist.

@sashimikun_void prompts please as well :-)

[ryan borker @borker]

@sashimikun_void do you have opinions on Google's OKF?

[ryan borker @borker]

@wickedguro Your rational mind will push back - and this is fine. But go look at what billions of people before you have sat on their death beds and said 'learn this.'

All in the Bible.

In it is a way of life - not text.

The road will be hard, but not more than you can handle.

[ryan borker @borker]

@wickedguro doing the basics well helps (gym, sleep, friends) but they won't help. neither do psychedelics (though they seem promising at first).

the answer is boring and right in front of you: God.

@vasuman Basically AI are bureaucrats with large textbooks. Writing meaningful textbooks is getting harder and they can’t do it themselves.
