Those bastards at RLL jumped the gun on the last bit I covered in this week’s newsletter, but here’s what’s been going on around the paddock in IndyCar

Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Every single American should be concerned with the rapid increase of mass surveillance under ICE. It will not go away when they feel they’ve accomplished their mission of getting rid of all the non-white people.

Never forget Musk isn't just an obnoxious bully, racist, sexist ... he's a mass murderer.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

If your primary political project involves getting mad about other people’s dicks, you can never be normal. It will always turn you into a freak
as always, transphobia consumes your entire personality until there is nothing left but deeply offputting garbage

This is a big signal that Nvidia's cash flow is becoming a tangible problem.
Remember when Elon Musk stopped paying Google Cloud bills so he could keep the electricity on at Twitter?
Cutting non-critical expenses when cash gets tight, even if it makes operations harder, is the Death Spiral.
