IMO for all the god-complex silicon valley entrepreneurs have about AI (Google, OpenAI e.t.c). Having fake photorealistic images at the tip of a finger seems like a dangerous precedent. We are already in territory of AI generated images use

Elsevier is a rent seeking parasite and needs to go. They add little value other than controlling access.

Well said. Wealth isn't the $ amount but what it can afford. IMO every generation is wealthier even if it has the same $ share, because quality of commodities get better over time with technology on average. It's not always true.

I lost 1 ETH worth of crypto in scam. It was something on the lines of you invest your crypto, and they'd put it up on art assets that would increase in value and you'd get your returns back. I got no returns when I wanted to take

Google could fire 50% of its staff and still make multiple 100B+ revenues from search ads and cloud. They have a great business that prints money. The problem Google has is making more money printing business lines - like Microsoft. I do ho

One could say Property taxes are like wealth taxes. You are taxing unrealized gains. But IMO it's once of the best ways cities meet their expenses and everyone pays their fair share. It keeps property prices somewhat in check because

This was a hard lesson for me. Presidential candidates promise a whole bunch of things to get voters to back them. Although even if they really wanted something e.g universal healthcare or no taxes on tips, a bill needs to go through house

The way actual index funds vs individual balancing works is different. For individuals if you buy a stock and sell it at loss within 30 days, that’s considered a wash sale. AFAIK doing trades like that are penalized and not considered losse

IMO its a huge opportunity cost for humans to land on moon if it comes at cost of gazillions of dollars. We've been to moon, many countries have spent probes on the Moon. Humans are fragile blood bags covered in thin skin plastic. It t

Comma is phenomenal at highway driving. Better than Tesla. They should keep on doing what they're doing. Make ~$1000 gadget that makes driving less of a chore. Doubtful they'll get to driverless in next 10 years. There can be many

I foresee US losing major ground to BYD because its only profitable EV maker has a distracted CEO actively telling its customers not to associate themselves with Tesla. And the shareholders approving $50B pay package. The shorters may actua

Healthcare could be an open transparent market, and it'd still work. The problem is US healthcare is neither open and transparent, neither universal and socialized.

Aaron didn’t have an army of lawyers that Megacorps do. He took the papers and put it public. Blatant copy right violation. LLMs are in gray waters of derative work, not verbatim copy of original. Different judges have had varying rulings.

Many cloudflare customers complaining about non-responsive customer service and surprise bills. Doesn’t inspire confidence. Especially no customer service response for months for paying customers.

Southwest saving a few bucks not using air conditioned trucks for perishables. This ends up injuring their human attendants and ending up on a negative news cycle. Major MBA executive logic.

Not William and Wilmore’s first rodeo. They have 500+ days of Space station experience between them. If they were stuck in starliner capsule, that would suck. Space Station is fairly hospitable. Also NASA has many options, SpaceX dragon is

The irony is that in high humid climates, as the sun goes down and night gets cooler, that gets the humid air cool enough to turn into rain. So Florida is known as the sunshine state, but it's also the rainy state. It rains 2.5x more b

Fun fact: Trees are solar-powered self-replicating 3D-printing machines that use C02 & H2O as building materials. I hope we crack that technology in our lifetime to print our own designs.

We get rich in the sense of consumption when money moves around. The question in any economy is what balance between private and public is best at allocating capital. With high taxes, the govt is trusted with allocating capital. With low ta
