Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

How do you suppose the NYPD interprets @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leaving 1 Police Plaza to its current leader? As a reasonable gesture that shows he's someone the police can do business with? Or as a de Blasio-esque surrender that shows Mamdani is starting out afraid to challenge the NYPD?
Mamdani's NYC Can't Afford NYPD Commissioner Tisch
With ICE on its way, how can we expect an ICE collaborator to protect New Yorkers? Here's a compromise: make Tisch sanitation commissioner again

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

This is the frustrating thing about "AI" arguments for me. There are some fascinating use cases, but the big names are largely using it to push fraud on a hitherto unknown scale and its biggest proponents are grifters. The backlash is real and justified, but poisons any nuanced debate on real use!

If someone read the Communist Manifesto and applied its concepts as directly as possible to every political scenario they posted about, they'd have a pretty good hit rate for good takes. Marxists, unfortunately, do not do this.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

So currencies. Much medium of exchange. Very store of value.
Stablecoins are no more a replacement for dollars than Mexican or Argentine pesos were a replacement for dollars in the 1980s or 1990s. They're the equivalent of a fixed exchange rate peg with ever-present credibility/reserves questions.
