The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

darkly funny that when you google "satoshi nakamoto" you still get mainly pictures of the poor guy who newsweek claimed invented bitcoin in an extremely unconvincing yet mega-viral story back in 2014

okay not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but have any cryptography people investigated the possibility that some of epstein's unintelligible typo-ridden emails could actually be written in some kind of code... like that recipients would know how to interpret

Haven't seen this circulating as much here as I've seen over on Twitter and Threads, but just an FYI that the "girls FTW" email is FAKE. It's not in the files. There's no time or date stamp. Someone just made it as a (really dumb and harmful) joke. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Interesting to watch Musk spin his newly released correspondence with Epstein.
What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.

In other news, I started a newsletter! It's intro to astronomy in scope, and I hope people will check it out and subscribe if that's what you're in to! Probably sporadic posting, because I have a full-time job and a toddler, but hoping to do it regularly. 🔭

OpenAI says it's going to retire GPT-4o. Again.
This time, the move to sunset 4o comes amid a wave of lawsuits alleging that the sycophantic model pushed users into delusional and suicidal spirals, upending lives and causing psychological harm, self-injury, and death.

maybe this is too obvious for anyone to even care at this point, but it's so wild to me that the world's richest man, the president of the united states, and the most famous pedophile in history all seem bound together by a sordid web that we're only beginning to understand
