- Fire up your VPN
- Set your location to, I dunno, Missouri
- Look for a specific hotel room for a specific day on booking dot com, Note the price
- Now set your location to NYC or SF
- Look up that same hotel room
- Is it $80 a night more expensive?
- YEAH.

To be a king, a crow requires subjects and subjects who want of a favor appear with offerings for the treasury. This crow supplicant has pulled it from the frame itself while his companion grasps for another.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
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?

Tangential but the fact that Anjali had to add this explanation for her original post is a great case in point about why learning to *read* isn’t just about being being able to sound out words but also contextualize and the diminishment of this skill is part of the literacy crisis
A lot of people are pointing out that this guy is no prince among men and that JPMorgan Chase has done some stuff, and right—that’s what makes it so notable that this guy thinks there will be accountability for this stuff in the future. He believes this is the *strategic* choice. That’s revealing.

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Being rejected is oppression to those who intend to be oppressors.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

when even jp morgan doesn't want obvious financial ties with you
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.
This isn’t law and order.
