It's 2027. The AI bubble has popped. The US dollar has bust. It's 500 dollars to buy a burger and it makes you immediately have diarrhea. The sun has been renamed America.

“People wouldn’t be anti-Muslim or anti-Arab if only ISIS and al-Qaeda were to stop”

In both arguments there’s no fault to be had by the person doing the hate: it’s some other group’s wrongdoing that’s to blame.

In both arguments it naively implies that said hatred would no longer exist if the offending parties were stopped. Antisemitism is centuries old, for example.

Is this bullish

[Fireside Alpha @firesidealpha]

Sam Altman admits he was wrong on AI's timeline and says society and the economy will adapt more slowly

"I thought when we got to GPT-4, which was back in 2023, that very quickly after that there was going to be much more disruption, software businesses up for grabs right away, than it turned out to be."

"I think I was wrong about a few things, but one in terms of the speed: the economy just has so much inertia."

"People keep doing the same things, buying from the same company, wanting to use their tools the same way. I think this is actually a positive in many ways, and it's going to make this big transition go smoother and slower. I'm grateful for it."

"But it means we've all been too ambitious on timelines. Even with this incredible technology, society and the economy will adapt more slowly."

Whoa! Elon’s making an incredibly outlandish prediction for 3+ years from now to pump the stock today? I don’t believe that.

Total OTC penny stock bullshit behavior

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@aaronburnett We’re aiming to reach 30+ Starship launches/day in 2030, which is ~10k annualized.

Still tiny numbers compared to airplane flights!

also, PLEASE make it a rule that new construction has to have at least SOME kind of personality instead of these soulless flat grey facades everywhere.

@ConsensusGurus you can buy it outright on $HOOD or you can buy $PURR which is like $MSTR or one of the ETFs

something fun and interesting i've noticed lately is that whenever i walk my dog and a tesla drives past, no matter what the model, it fuckin RATTLES so audibly at every little bump in the road. just the most insane cheap plastic rattle sound

@DanBilzerian What the fuck is this

[Kyla Scanlon @kylascan]

HOW TO GET RICH IN AMERICA

I wrote about what happens when owning things is rewarded over doing things: (1) the generational divide it creates, (2) the casino economy that emerges (the yolofolio!!), and (3) how it changes the way we think about work and politics

[Spiro’s Ghost @AntiToxicPeople]

There is no human being alive who lies like this creature does, all day every day. Doesn’t matter if it is a huge thing, a small thing, a meaningless thing, his instant reflex is to tell provable, insane lies every time he speaks. He does it so much that we shrug at it, his goal.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

We live in very strange times.

The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

Nobody, nobody relishes human suffering like the new right. It’s not about the rule of law, law and order. It’s about deriving pleasure from the suffering of other people, and ideally monetizing it. The thing about “woke” is that it at least had a constructive vision of a more just and freer world, even if it had its excesses and follies. These people simply want to derive as much enjoyment from as much human suffering as possible. It’s sick and needs to be defeated.

Is there a more insecure dude on here than this moron?

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

@troyhouse @Cokedupoptions i'll bet your entire net worth x 10. the anaconda is the worst kept secret of silicon valley...

[Bryce Greene @TheGreeneBJ]

Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.

[Lofi Allatoona Mountain Thunder @JakeSullins]

Show me a universally safe road. Show me a universally safe peanut. Show me a universally safe airplane. Life is risky business. Stop acting being obtuse

[𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐡𝐧 @Buncahn]

@shaunmmaguire that's all you have to say? what would your reaction be if it were obama or biden doing this insanely corrupt bullshit?
