@Rodairos Lots of the banks and hedge funds already were dabbling in AI going back 10 years, back one was called machine learning. Not surprised given the financial services influence.

[Michał Podlewski @trajektoriePL]

Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.

Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.

The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.

@GergelyOrosz 100% is just a waste of capital.

@sethlypie @AngryAFMario I mean…. He’s right

@ramit I like it in a specific context. It means the ability to walk away from bad situations without being trapped by money, to me, not “I’d travel more!!!1”

@sjc6254 @OrevaZSN Ok so did my parents. They got married at 21, both got jobs post college, and bought their 1st house at 25 and 5 yrs later sold it for a profit. No student loans bc they worked their way their undergrad, including my dad doing co-ops. Life was easier for them. Why?

Older generations say, “We also struggled in our 20s.”

No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay rent that consumes half your entire paycheck. You didn’t work 2 jobs just to cover basics. You didn’t apply to 200 jobs and face silent rejections. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@eglyman Cool but what’s your profit margin?

[S.🎧 @1ssve]

I once worked at a company where the top performer on our team quit and wrote an incredibly detailed exit letter explaining exactly why. Leadership read it in a meeting. Nodded. Said it was very valuable feedback. Asked if anyone had any questions. Nobody did. The letter was filed. The problems in the letter are still there. I know because people who are still there tell me.

I’will never get tired of reminding you that if men were the ones with a uterus, pads and tampons would be free. If men could get pregnant, you’d be able to get the abortion pill OTC, and there would be zero abortion restrictions.

[Westside L.A. Guy @WestsideLAGuy]

L.A. failing to attract tech investment & talent after Snap IPO is one of the biggest blunders by a U.S. city in history.

SpaceX IPO? Who cares. Those employees won’t invest in the city’s cultural & social landscape. And no influx of young attractive people to L.A.

this was my biggest culture shock in corporate america, the amount of ‘coffee walks’ you can take and people dont bat an eye

in asia they chain you to your desk

[The Random Recruiter @randomrecruiter]

Companies laid off ~150,000 tech workers to save for AI.

Now AI is becoming too expensive.

AI was just the cover up the whole time.

[Susan Zhang @suchenzang]

just another rite of passage in tech:

happened to me in 2017 when a coworker deleted all of my code, made a copy in a private repo as proof of his "ownership" over the prod system* (management apparently didn't understand/care about commit history), petitioned to start a separate team to do a rewrite of the whole thing in rust (for his promo), and then as the final cherry-on-top, pulled me into the office VR room to convince me to quit before things got "even nastier".

was honestly kind of ok with the whole mess if it wasn't for the crazed look in his eyes in that last meeting. got out pretty soon thereafter, and someday i ought to thank him for freeing me up to get into all this crazy ai stuff, right as things were starting to shift into an infra scaling problem :)

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

@KDimitratos It's such an unpleasant feeling to be excited about a role & then realize it's quite different from what you signed up for.

@JarrettNorthup @KDimitratos This is pretty direct for corporate

@carsandheels @datingbyblaine I’ve seen ppl do it for interviews - back when jobs more available, 2015-2016

@bioinvesting5 @BeckyQuick I think it’s too profitable for it to be shut down. They tried to shut it down and reopened it with a slightly different formula adding in an additional B vitamins.
