@TheStalwart Dude is obviously high intellect, but his current fund is luck, leverage, and survivorship bias.
Betting the house on AI doesn’t take much talent…
.@chamath talking about AI is pretty good, but @chamath talking about politics and socialism is a complete joke.
Somehow it hasn’t worked for the last 500 years, but he’s also living in the USA that FDR’s policies helped build…

Israel evacuation orders in Beirut are most likely unlawful and are nightmarish. Entire neighborhoods, including Beirut’s southern suburbs, have been told to “leave immediately,” triggering panic and chaos as families flee with nowhere safe to go. Roads are jammed with people escaping on foot or carrying whatever they can.
At the same time, Israel’s forced evacuation orders across Lebanon have already displaced tens of thousands, with airstrikes hitting residential areas. There are thousands of civilians, older people, children, people with disabilities, who cannot evacuate, and there are no safe routes, no safe shelters, and no guarantees of protection.
