Here's my promised explainer. Doing my best to synthesize a lot of info here so check all my info; don't rely on it
So - the SpaceX IPO (SPCX:NASDAQ)

1/ Normally, a company with a massive valuation has to wait months to a year after its IPO before index funds are allowed to buy

Liberal economics tells us this isn't possible because the landlords will compete with each other to lower prices, in reality landlords aren't stupid enough to start self-ruinous price wars and instinctively understand that the tenants are the enemy!

every time i see a new "create a song from a single prompt" kind of product being rolled out i think about these comments from @David_Rudnick

[Blake ™ @NeilNevins]

Commencement speaker: I love AI and I hate all of you. They gave me a big check to be here. I love firing people at my big company. I bet none of you would get jobs at my business now that we have AI

(booing)

Commencement speaker: oh? What? What?

new season of Euphoria is appointment television. as in, i’d rather be at a dentist appointment than watch another minute of this!

A bigger price tag than the Green New Deal, only instead of to save organised human life, it's to tell us there's a 'q' in 'potato' and to make everyone on Earth unemployed🤞

A billion dollars a day for the stupidest military campaign in United States history, Operation Oops I Shot Myself in the Dick

Many of the “AI” interventions mentioned here are the equivalent of paying for a gym that has machines that lift weights for you. I don’t mean it’s sort of like that, I mean, in educational contexts, it’s the exact same logic. It’s absurd in its face. I feel like I’m going insane

[Brendan Karet @bad_takes]

every day i wake up and check the news and it’s something like “evil rape demon announces mandatory plutonium in school lunches” followed by another article titled “90 year old democrat protests biphobic ICE agents with aquatic jazzercise”. A big reason why i’m proud to live here

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

"if you let our AIs take your jobs, we promise that we - the people who have opposed every form of wealth redistribution for our entire public careers - will give you massive wealth redistribution!" You have to be a literal fucking shit for brains to buy this stuff

They are Satanic unironically. They want to destroy the things about this country that are nice because people they dislike use it. They think it’s better to rule YOU in hell than to serve the common interest in heaven

[cranky teardrop @david_bu]

you’ll never guess what this is in response to

[Silicon Valley Fodder @Playerinthgame]

utterly unsustainably rabidly insane. makes the Reagan years look like the New Deal era.

[Will 🦥 Menaker @willmenaker]

Iran shooting down all those planes that were attacking their country is probably the most fucked up thing a nation has ever done in the course of fighting a war. Does their evil know no limits?

[Eli Valley @elivalley]

Is there a term for this

[jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill]

This is a heinous crime by Israel. An extension of its serial killer campaign, hunting and murdering journalists in Gaza. Shame on all Western journalists and news outlets who refuse to condemn these crimes unequivocally.

[Saint Hoax @SaintHoax]

not a single major outlet is reporting on this, meanwhile we’re getting wall-to-wall coverage of chappelle roan’s bodyguard making a girl cry

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

[ཊལབསརངཧ @David_Rudnick]

hi. i am billionaire. for my entire adult life, i have rewired my brain to only seek to extract money. i am building a machine to destroy you and everything you love and turn it into money that i own.

(American) : This is so cool. this is the coolest thing i have ever heard

[Fairy Gothmother, MD @jenny2x4]

This doesn’t make me scared that Iran is going to bomb me it makes me scared the US is going to bomb me and blame it on Iran
