One (Asian) sushi chef here is affecting an exaggerated Japanese accent when he describes the fish and pretending not to speak English well, but he immediately reverts to a Midwestern accent in a low voice among the other chefs when customers aren’t paying attention. Honestly, I respect the hustle.

I really do love how Bari seemed to genuinely think that she would get all the respect of being Walter Cronkite as well as being an effective propaganda hack for the administration and now she’s upset and whining that she gets neither

The thing about the CC interest rate cap- other than being illegal- is that it won’t affect rewards (those are paid from merchant fees), but it will affect credit availability because banks don’t want to give $50k limits at 10% the way they do at 30%, as that kicks them way down in payment priority.

Lmao he's UAW 0 chance this stands, but nice of them to make the incident even higher profile.

Now that I think about it XAI might actually have negative *revenue* from their power users: they burn free compute generating a video of a sexy cyberpunk lady, Elon QTs it with “Try Grok!”, and then they have to pay out the revenue share from Twitter to them. Hilariously terrible business model!
Unlike XAI which loses the most money to their least valuable customers with the lowest willingness to pay (people generating videos), Anthropic loses the most money to their most valuable customers with the highest willingness to pay (CC superusers). That is a very easy business problem to fix!

If I had to predict what the future of the AI labs are, I would say XAI and OAI wind up roadkill, Anthropic becomes a premium-priced B2B SAAS company, Google wins consumers via the ad cross-subsidy, and Meta/Chinese open source models monopolize “specialized use cases” ie goonbots

For those not involved in the crypto space: "Remove liquidity" is a euphemism for "rugpull", which is the "dump" part of "pump and dump": you sell your tokens at literally any price available until you burn through every resting limit order in the order book and tank the price to like 0.00001 cents.

If I was advising the EU—and I 100% should be—my advice is that you prepare three sets of sanction packages:
1. Deliberate targeting of personal/corporate assets of Trump, Musk, Andressen, Sacks, etc like they’re Russian oligarchs by doing stuff like seizing Gigafactory Berlin. This gets used first.

If you’d like to bet on the EU growing a fucking spine for once, get short consumer-facing US tech megacaps. If you want to bet on them folding like a wet paper bag, probably just buy gold or something

We should charge 50% interest rates on credit cards IMO, along with 5% interchange fees. I need more points

Did like anyone normal actually watching the fucking video before they tweeted it out? Or is the administration staffed head to toe with such Milleresque psychos it didn’t even occur to anybody to say “holy shit we need to wipe this footage immediately”?

If you’re an ambitious blue state AG you probably have enough today to arrest and perp walk Musk on kiddie porn related charges. It may or may not work, but 1. It will massively raise your profile for governor/president if you win, and 2. It will massively up awareness of the issue and hurt Elon.

The woke map that “shows the correct size of Africa” is an objectively terrible projection and I’m tired of pretending otherwise. I know exactly how big Africa is because I’m not a moron.
have seen some folks mention or contemplate that there were parts of “Woke 1.0” that were inept, too much, ham-fisted, etc. Without putting anyone on the spot, has anyone more concretely described what, exactly, they think were the inept or too much parts?

If you pick any resource—gold, copper, lithium, oil—the top 5 producers are almost always either physically large developed countries producing everything (US/Russia/China/Canada/Australia in some order), or physically large middle-income countries specializing in some (Brazil/Indonesia/Chile/Saudi)
