The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.
On one side, you have a seasoned journalist with decades of credibility and colleagues who can speak to his integrity, on the other, you have a lifelong bullshit artist who has failed upward by flattering the powerful. I just don’t know who to believe.
SpaceX being rammed into indices with no profit requirements, seasoning, and generally looser constraints is economic terrorism. Index trackers will eat the loss when reality catches up and retail investors will suffer.
Konsta Helenius has scored the golden goal as Finland beats Switzerland to win the 2026 #MensWorlds.
Total heartbreak for the hosts.

McNulty: I will be the drunkest man who ever lived

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
