I thought it had been pretty well accepted for a while that college isn't primarily about job skills. That was the whole knock on college for the last couple decades

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.

Until just now I thought Disclosure Day was the WW2 Brendan Fraser movie

[Joe Light @joelight]

No.

[Joe Light @joelight]

@TheStalwart I think nationally that’s true unfortunately. I think in New York seeing also those ships in the harbor will be the coolest thing my kids or I have ever seen

[Joe Light @joelight]

@SamRo I guess the answer to this one can never be "life" at any age, given that dead people don't need anything

[Joe Light @joelight]

A little on the nose but I'll take it

[Joe Light @joelight]

@firstadopter Tae on Twitter every day

[Joe Light @joelight]

@TheStalwart it's funny because I wouldn't join a club unless it was literally next door. It has to be Starbucks-level-close to be of any use to me

@SteveMatthews12 @conorsen As a non-Atlanta-based Braves fan, I can tell you that it's definitely not too soon to be thinking about park-view Omni reservations. those are gold

@firstadopter But I bet you don't miss ProofPoint!

@eisingerj I guess if you doubled the taxes he paid in 2011, it wouldn't help a teacher in Queens

I like how you can see ChatGPT cycle through searches of irrelevant random websites before giving an (often good) answer

"What has Mamdani said about G&T admissions since the campaign"

Checking Instagram, Tom's Hardware, Merriam-Webster

@superwuster This is great, but do we have a precrime division in NYC like it's Minority Report?

[Joe Light @joelight]

Wow. Hang it in the Met

[Chase Jordan @goatcollect]

Have to capture fans emotions as much as the shot. Brilliant. @natlyphoto

[Joe Light @joelight]

@firstadopter He probably played around with one of those "Balance the budget yourself" calculators and when he gave the U.S. a trillion-dollar surplus was like "This is easy! Those morons in Washington"

"Man, this AI-generated thing that I'm an expert in is totally flawed and borderline useless. Anyone leaning on this is doomed. But have you seen the AI-generated thing whose subject-matter I know nothing about? Every consultant working on that thing is cooked"

[Joe Light @joelight]

@JBSDC The Fed survey did use Bitcoin and Eth as examples though?

[Paul R. La Monica @LaMonicaBuzz]

Good news for the crypto industry from DC. $COIN surges as Clarity Act advances to next stage in Senate. More from @joelight for @barronsonline. https://t.co/Yw5TONchho

@carney @TPCarney Don't know about this person, but I think a lot of people rationalize why they're OK with something happening because the disappointment is a lot to bear

[Joe Light @joelight]

@carney there's going to be crops rotting on the ground pretty soon
