“Artificial intelligence, meet artificial accounting.” The guy who first pointed out Enron’s sketchy accounting is now scrutinizing AI accounting and it’s the same nonsense: www.wsj.com/tech/meta-ai...

“Nobel Prize-winning economist Simon Kuznets is often cited, perhaps apocryphally, as having said that there are four types of countries: developed, underdeveloped, Japan, and Argentina.” You mean to say, a guy with a chainsaw isn’t likely to fix it? Great lede to an illuminating essay.
This is a terrific primer on the economic history of Argentina by former Argentine central banker Matias Vernengo. He explains how Milei's policies have been tried before, failed then, and will fail again.

Make Argentina Crash Again: On Milei’s Neoliberal Experiment - The American Prospect
The short-term political boost to Argentine president Javier Milei's fortunes is unlikely to continue, as the familiar cycle of crisis and default looms.

Spoiler alert: Joe Biden inherited our worst economy since the great depression that Donald Trump created with his horrendous handling of Covid. He then left Trump with the greatest economic comeback EVER!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

At schools, young people share a lot with their classmates: many lessons, joyous and sad moments.

They stand up and say, “No! You can't take any of us away!”

Do adults hear their voices?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I stayed up way too late the other night reading the new edition of @qntm.org’s excellent “There Is No Antimemetics Division”.

If you read the original, I highly recommend checking out the new version too, it’s really well-done.
