Protesting only means something if you're taking on risks. The same could be said about enterprise, investment, war, etc. It's the people who won't take risks that schemers try to exclude. This is the real reason why no one w

I don't know why I'm the only person online willing to steelman this, but... The early Internet users weren't people who subscribed to AOL to look at porn in the 90's. They were the people who were granted access to the

Even at $100 oil is the cheapest it's ever been historically. OPEC nations don't measure inflation in terms of U.S. CPI. They use gold as their benchmark. In 1969 a barrel of oil was worth $400 in today's money. What's i

It would be more helpful to say don't buy options once the trade is obvious. As soon as something has hit the FOMO phase and IV skyrockets and all strikes cost the same, that's a sign you're too late and might want to bet aga

DB's fall has been glorious. I shorted them back in January when I learned they were delivering 1.3% of their market cap in gold to the COMEX. No bank gives up that much of a hard asset unless something is wrong. Things are also lookin

You're being self-deprecating. You might believe the way you think and formulate ideas isn't good enough but it's at least you. The more you filter your thoughts through AI the more that signal is lost. If I'm not talkin

Feel bad for the people who used to do that for you. Many people have difficulty expressing what they're thinking in words. Those people always feel happy when they see someone else say what they're thinking. If AI can do that now

U.S. authorities labeled them a supply chain risk. The military went on Twitter and basically labeled Anthropic an enemy of the state. The most popular company on Earth. They did that. If USG was able to issue some kind of secret court orde

I don't think it's a slap in the face. The slap in the face is devoting your life savings to giving away your work for free and then have it sold back to you. It's really smart what Anthropic is doing. They're encouragin

If the USG can mandate that everyone who works for a company that ever took a federal contract be genetically engineered, then I think they can tell people to not use Claude.

They're not threatening to do that. They just did. Read the tweet linked in the article. > In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing

That's not how the Google IPO worked. If you bought that at IPO and held it this whole time, you'd be very rich by now. Which is why the financial system will never let that happen again. These days many of the companies that go p

Because I'm speaking for the millions of people who lost homes, who lost jobs, and lost hope in a society where the only answers they're being given are distractions. Folks deserve to hear a more plausible explanation of why Wall

I'm hanging out in a bunker in Omaha rooting for the Japanese people, who've gone through great hardship for several decades to checkmate Wall Street. They're the true Occupy Wall Street and all I'm doing is recognizing

Every group that showed up in the park and was working on a project, they could come to me and ask that their donation link be posted on the OccupyWallSt.org donate page. I'm a tech person. I registered a domain. I play it neutral. I i

What resources? OccupyWallSt.org only accepted enough donations to keep the 1-800 number and website online. I was smart enough to understand back then that an unemployed 26 year old activist living in a park wasn't qualified to manage

I was the one who registered it. Occupy as a movement has always been inclusive of people with different points of view. My job running the website and twitter has always been to give the people a voice. I think that's important, don&#

Only genuine socialization does that, since you can flip through a textbook. It's the main reason why people go to universities. To hear all the answers they didn't think to ask. LLMs actually do that a little bit. It's both

That's how Plato taught Aristotle. I'd much rather have a dialog than read a textbook. You just have to think critically and fact check. You can't just trust whatever the robot says because it interpolates knowledge.

Yeah we're all quickly figuring out that LLMs shift the engineering work from computer science to bullshit detection. You basically have to become that guy on the Internet who's always trying to prove you wrong when working with C
