Remember when people said it was crazy to think that we were in an AI bubble? When they would actively mock you for doubting the glory of the LLM era?

Looking for a gift idea this Christmas? Why not a Blu-Ray player, or, if you want to go the extra, a good 4K player?
With the uncertainty behind streaming services, a Blu-Ray/4K/DVD is right there, waiting to be watched. It’s not permanent, as nothing is, but it’s yours.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

I have long thought Tarantino to be our best film critic - but the medium for his critique is film, not print. I was not as taken by Cinema Speculation as I thought I would be - in writing, which has the cadence of his vocal patterns, he's too in love with the shock take. Remember his TOP GUN riffs?

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid—
It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

Tired of people saying that there will be an AI bailout. For whom? NVIDIA isn't going under, neither are the mag7 companies. OpenAI can't get bailed out, it'll just lose the money, as would Anthropic. Closest we get are distressed data center assets, doesn't fix what happens when NVIDIA plummets

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.
Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!
