Paid to study the world for the last 20 years as an investor. It is starting to feel like a curse.

There will be economics. There will be politics. There will be hockey. There will be sarcasm by the ton. There will be typos.
Skill mismatches.

I am cursed with a degree in computer science and some experience in a related field (both gathering dust) but I am yet to meet anyone with domain expertise who believes the hype unless the have a large financial stake.

Fear, Novelty and Confirmation are Sugar, Salt, Fat of the attention economy.

Ross Perot has more to do with Clinton getting elected than James Carville. By a factor of 10. There is no topic on which his opinion matters more than anyone else's.

I see two humans telling the world they have no idea how to be a human.

The point of a roast is that by ripping someone in good fun, you defang the unspoken fears and show that your affection for each other can endure even the most insulting things.

A computer has zero role in this ritual.

In an attention economy where shame is at an all time low, everyone has an escape hatch by becoming "that person who seems crazy and went through something" as long as they keep seeming crazy and talking about the thing they went through.

It is gossip. Junk food for the mind.

Folks. These are not impressive agents. And people are PISSED. Next stop: more violence. I am sorry to say.

We need a real reminder that the President of the United States is a public servant. He works for everyone including the reporter he insulted. This shit is not okay.

We are getting AI not because anyone wants it but because silicon valley has been undefeated in getting us to participate in the enshittification of our own lives and can't fathom we won't gave im on this turd too.

All of the benevolent uses of AI don't make a lot of money. All of the evil applications are cash cows.

I really wish people would realize the guardrails here are about privacy not technology.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Ah.... he is describing life insurance. I feel like I am taking crazy pills.
