Sam Altman is laying the groundwork for OpenAI to be declared too big to fail by the U.S. government. At this point the stock price of AMD, Nvidia and Oracle all have OpenAI growing revenue 20x by 2030 baked in.

It’s not a systemic risk but it isn’t nothing either

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

with all due respect to Alex who obviously has to report this, personally i don’t care at all what Kennedy says. it’s always meaningless PR-speak, based on what’s expedient at the time. i’d be fine never hearing from him again.

the only thing i care about it what they actually do.

thank you, then, to everyone who made the monktoberfest.com possible, from the attendees to the staff to the sponsors.

it's a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but every single conversation at the event makes it worth it.

steve o’grady @sogrady.org · 5d

that said, it will be nice to sleep the sleep of the just, because having your brain wake you up every 90 minutes after 2 AM to ask whether or not the party supply place is going to try and take your chairs away a day early (again) doesn't lead to a good night's rest.

the 2025 monktoberfest wrapped this afternoon.

the people renewed my faith in humanity, even amidst [gestures] these fresh hells.

all of us at redmonk are grateful that so many good people trust us to provide an environment worth the investment of their time. it means more than we can say.

this highlights the conundrum that is @redsoxstats.bsky.social.

on the one hand, it’s my favorite sox follow by a wide margin.

on the other, at present, it’s the account posting true things that make me most sad.

Bello against left-handed hitters this season. After a huge correction mid-season, things went off the rails against them again in September, with a brutal K-BB% and few poorly hit balls. He's continued to pitch well against righties. Yankees bring back all their LHH tonight.

adding insult to injury, carriers apparently don’t feel it’s necessary to include the ocean in their coverage maps so i can’t tell what my coverage is going to be like on the cruise tonight
