Anthropic's Pentagon walkout was smart business, not just ethics. While OpenAI & xAI rush to onboard the Pentagon as a client, think about what they're signing up for... classified networks, massive compliance overhead & political volatility. @AnthropicAI gains a free runway to go full speed in healthcare, finance, legal & international markets — where safety guardrails are a selling point, not an obstacle.
There's wisdom there.
These photos might be more accurate for comparisons. There were still economical homes in the 1920s and 1930s. The home you’ve shown would’ve been a more custom build. But to your point, anything in that time would have been far better built. I myself live in what would have been an ‘economical’ 1920s foursquare and I still marvel at its durability and craftsmanship compared to my friends’ newer homes.
The challenge with 'vendor-digging' is it completely misses the larger opportunity. If you want to cut subscriptions, AI-powered news summaries combined with blockchain would be a good start. Citizens can see what stories are being viewed within the government and use tokens to upvote stories they feel need their representatives' attention the most. However, you need a balanced media diet; otherwise, it's not an efficient use of technology or people's time. Better to drive efficiency through innovative realignment vs. line-item slashing or vendor consolidation.
@jmrphy True, but I don't think there was a 'hypothesis'–this very discussion has been taking place out in the open amongst Africans for nearly two decades–they had the receipts all along. Most Americans weren't paying attention to those conversations. Elon was.
I've been investing in crypto for the last 6 years and angels frequently ask me how to evaluate projects. Here are the steps I generally recommend in running a diligence process for an early-stage crypto investment.

@DStrachman so many good ones so far... a few more for the mix :)
- Avatars replace job postings
- Health DAOs replace insurance
- Fractionalized infrastructure > taxes are investment
- NFT marketplaces for sperm & embryo curation
- Crowdformed vs Crowdfunded
@profgalloway @Globalreach123 This would effectively be setting up a diaspora for the soldiers, who can then use remittances to fund family businesses, town infrastructure, etc. back home. A NATO-backed coin would be interesting. Ukraine is a top 10 remittance country btw.
In the basement of SOSV IndieBio, scientists at California Cultured isolated individual cells from cacao plants and turned them into chocolate. @lzimberoff@TheAtlantic took a taste and reported: https://t.co/LRj8c7xZtu @CaCultured#BackedBySOSV@indbio
Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance, which was crushed by Antarctic ice in 1915, is sitting somewhere in the icy waters of the Weddell Sea.
Now, a team of modern adventurers, financed by an anonymous donor, is setting sail to find it.
