My extremely reductive take is blame the incentives/demands of the stock market. Until someone is willing to admit that the pursuit of shareholder value over all has led to wide-scale immiseration I don’t think we get any progress on this.

Strongly considering posting this screenshot on LinkedIn because I am so sick of seeing AI booster content on there and this is how all of them sound.

All the while case clearance rates have continued to decline despite the money spent. Which of course will be used as a demand for more funding even though the causation is backwards.

Just look at what happened to Chesa Boudin in San Francisco. The cops were so mad that he would dare charge an officer for homicide that they worsened response times to help push the narrative for the recall campaign.

This track from the end of Act 2 is like what if Masayoshi Soken was French? (Complimentary)

This is still stolen valor and I will not be convinced otherwise.

And for anyone who thinks you two might be being hyperbolic, the reporting here should disabuse that notion very quickly.

I truly get the impulse to want to believe people are acting in good faith, but we have so much evidence to the contrary that the standard should be earning that level of trust.

Klein being unwilling to even admit the possibility that Vance is simply a striver with no core values beyond what he thinks is best for him is the most damning part.
It is never "I got it wrong," it's "these people changed."

This is what happens from years of being stenographers for the cops. Even if there is video they provide cover for the powerful.

The reporting is also ass but that is honestly the case with most accounting platforms. My wife's friend started a small engineering firm and I've been doing part time CFO work for her for a few years now. All the reporting we use I had to go make in Excel myself.

I think it's a two-fold issue. There are a lot of freelancers for Quickbooks and Intuit has made it so they can operate their entire business from inside the walled garden. High switching costs for all involved.

I helped a friend with bookkeeping for a few months last year and it was first time using QBO and holy shit is it bad. It would probably be a chore to migrate (which Intuit of course depends on) but something like Xero might be better. I'm sure all of them are rolling AI features though

I think people have simply forgotten that early Twitter required a lot of work to build your feed. Most of the time if I end up on the Discover feed it was by accident when I'm scrolling on mobile.

On top of being insulting to the writers, what's the actual business play here? Put more ads in front of the audio summaries?
(I'm sure this is it because its always find more ways to insert ads)

A burner for international travel feels like the "best" option and you'd still have to be very conscious about what you even install on it.

I say this as someone with a Whoop strap on their wrist right now but cameras on my face are where I draw the line with this stuff.

Didn’t a cockroach literally crawl on him during a stream once because he lives in such filth?

Remarkable tension between his obsession with talking groceries and the undocumented labor that underpins huge swaths of the food system. Can't have it both ways.

The economy is a bunch of loops. Payroll at one company gets spent at countless others. There would absolutely be a breaking where if enough "email jobs" got replaced by AI, if even for a short period of time, that the economic cycle would break down.

Sunshine is a dour ass movie but I really like the cast. The horror twist in the final act is where the movie really stumbles but there are still some very striking scenes.

While the reality is far more depressing, every time I read one of those Frank Luntz focus group panels I think he has to be growing those people in a lab.

Combined with the surveillance powers and systems that grew out of that era, any would be autocrat had a weapon just sitting there waiting to be used.
