I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Cause or effects? The main thing is the cost of borrowing money for the government is getting more and more expensive. And mortgages are more tied to the 10Y treasury rate than the fed rate.

on the anthropic IPO stuff, I think this via @garbageday.email is pretty much spot on www.garbageday.email/p/they-want-...
But I’ll end this here with a little conspiracy theory courtesy of Hacker News that I have decided I will believe until I see proof to the contrary. “OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly asking for slowdown in AI research,” one user wrote. “Translation: We see this technology not being any more useful than what it is now, no AGI is coming, and the first one to accept this and slow down the dollar burn rate will incur the wrath of the market. So let's say this big boogeyman technology will end all life on earth and we all slow down together.”

HELL YES. I agree with every word of this. Hinojosa’s campaign has been disappointing. And the median Dem ad is actually worse and more out of touch than I’ve seen in five cycles of doing this. Dems can fight and win on all these issue areas. But they’re not even trying.

I think that’s the split- its great for tech nerds, connecting their higher end usb-c devices with good known cables. For the average person who doesn’t understand why the usb-c that charges their phone won’t charge this other device with a usb-c port and it needs a usb-c to usb-a cable..it’s rough

2. "Going rogue" is sensationalistic. Products of ALL kinds do unexpected things that we need safeguards to prevent. Yes, AI agents running amok IS dangerous. So are industrial power tools. Hence OSHA and stringent safety training and protocols to use them.

And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

A new surprising genre of journalism is whether Meta’s Muse is going to be so good at helping people save money that it tanks the economy? This is another version of the SaaSpocalypse narrative. Investors and journalists are on the lookout for AI disruption narratives, no matter how unlikely.
