Dump the file into Claude, explain your issue, and ask for suggestions. Response might be nonsense, might be a valid solution.

Devastating for Elon that his kids will continue to not talk to him.

What on earth constitutes falling apart for you if not the cataclysmic clown show we’ve all witnessed this evening?

Neither individual possesses the cognitive faculties capable of conceiving a ruse, never mind executing one. Occam’s razor dictates that the idiots who have always behaved idiotically are continuing to behave idiotically.

Yes. He was exposed to Elon Musk's tweets.

Not the right moment bro.

Obviously if Musk had a sense of self-awareness he would suffer a comedown after reading his tweets. But he doesn't. So he won't.

Plausible but very difficult to do much (other than walking into traffic) that can physically harm yourself when that sedated. In any case, this is not a comedown. Ketamine doesn't deplete monoamines like most drugs. This is what causes a comedown. Nor does it give you a hangover.

Ketamine doesn’t have a comedown.

That's the best bit. His wealth is dependent on (1) his cult maintaining the Tesla bubble and (2) Space X's government contracts, at the discretion of...

No brainer. Trump got elected to the white house twice despite being entirely unqualified precisely because he's good at public beefing.

My quicker take is that he will fail dismally. Musk is the only person on the planet more disliked than Trump. And Trump, for his laundry list of failings, is really good at this.

It is not. If absolute zero and the personification of an anaphrodisiac had a baby, it would still be hotter than stephen miller on his best day.

You are truly blessed to have enough optimism that you believe the people that have proven themselves to be idiots without a plan for year after year after year suddenly scraped enough brain cells together to concoct this devious ruse.

I certainly accept the transition for educators will be a difficult one. Could almost go as far as to say that how we should think has fundamentally changed.

As a test of critical thinking, using AI is extremely good at weeding out the wrote learners because many can’t get it to produce good results because there isn’t a manual for how to use it and they lack the intuition. It magnifies the ability of the user. This is a good thing.

You shouldn’t judge new technologies this way. What they actually do is alter the paradigm as to how we achieve what we want to achieve.
Separately education long departed from teaching students to think and became an exercise in optimising towards passing exams. AI hasn’t altered this.

We have nowhere near enough data to support this hypothesis.

The really bizarre thing is how some still try to frame public health measures as a trade off between the economy and saving lives.
The data are crystal clear that health and economics were aligned. Failure to lock down severely harmed economies.

Allowing mathematics students to use an abacus was the start of this slippery slope.

In a ZIRP regime maybe. The prudent gambler minimises opportunity cost by buying his lotto tickets at the last minute when rates are high.

That said, Apollo does a lot of stuff now that would traditionally have been done by banks. Which probably explains a lot of this.

Balance sheet leverage is not as pertinent to banks' business models as it is to private equity, who are in the business of buying and selling assets. Banks are more concerned with operational leverage/liquidity. The GFC was primarily a liquidity crisis. Lehman as a group was barely even insolvent.

Citing losses on its securities portfolio as evidence of inefficiencies is a pretty comical way of undermining what may be good points elsewhere in the article.
