I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

14 years ago I saw Julian Assange and Slavoj Žizek converse at the Troxy (www.frontlineclub.com/julian_assan...)

Tonight I saw John Grant play Touch And Go, a song about Chelsea Manning, at the Troxy

Nice bit of serendipity

Stamp duty doesn't deter people from moving house. It makes people say "ahhhh shit" every time they remember it exists.

Reliefs and exemptions for first time buyers and vulnerable people can fix it without a tax cut to those that can afford it

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
