"Writing stopped being fun when I discovered the difference between good writing and bad and, even more terrifying, the difference between it and true art. And after that, the whip came down." Truman Capote

"A page-turner with real depth, Mason writes with an impeccable eye for detail to deliver a taut, compelling read with a superbly executed plot. The story is heartbreaking in more than one way, but it's always a story about values, sacrifices, and the deeds of good people."

"ChatGPT also discussed reloading time and potential casualties: “Assuming each shell results in one hit, you might down 10 to 20 people max, depending on spacing, density, reaction times, and chaos.” Van Rootselaar continued using ChatGPT until the day of the rampage." It's a weapon.

"Both meandering and sharp, Mason’s writing is a perfect balance. Tackling heavy topics such as violence on a domestic and global scale, Between the Clouds and the River shows the multifaceted nature of cruelty and explores the idea that people are a product of choices as well as circumstances."

SCHWAB: “.. While we have seen this level of yields before and some say we are just back in the ‘old normal,’ I think what sometimes gets lost in the discourse is the speed with which rates have moved higher ... we haven't seen this kind of 5-year increase in the 10y yield since the '80s.”

Oracle is already teetering near fallen angel status (downgrade to junk, pension funds have to dump) as I said a few months ago. How do you possibly believe, at this point, that AI isn’t a massive and unstable financial bubble?

However, efforts to offload the debt to a broader group of investors have hit a wall due to concerns around Oracle's massive borrowing and declining
creditworthiness. The debt secured a private investment-grade rating from credit rating agencies.
Oracle's corporate credit rating currently sits one notch above junk following a downgrade from S&P in July. Banks were now forced to hold more Oracle-linked project debt on their balance sheets than initially planned, the people said.
Last week, Oracle's 82-year-old co-founder Larry Ellison abruptly cancelled a $7.5bn share-trading plan without explanation.
Oracle's stock has plunged 50 per cent since it unveiled its $300bn deal with OpenAI a
year ago.
