Elizabeth Holmes's daily schedule Circa 2005–2009

Philip Rucker Dan Diamond Poor guy. Can’t believe his criminal actions happened to him!

Daily reminder that the Spanish were the good guys.

"Awwww, now he cannot funnel more customer funds to pandemic prevention.... " The USA thinking class is deeply corrupt, this guys are infuriatingly dishonest.

Had a similar mental flippening a couple years ago when it really set in that my crypto assets were under my control in a way my bank balance wasn't. Money in the bank feels inherently less tangible than assets on chain to me now.

OpenAI's new ChatGPT writes a Seinfeld scene in which Jerry needs to learn the bubble sort algorithm:

This whole ChatGPT tweet explosion feels a lot like when Covid started to hit in China, which is when twitter was at its best Elon Musk Citizens leading the way in letting us all know something insanely novel is coming, WAY ahead on traditional institutions

Paul Graham Oh my. It's a perfectly capable "debate machine". I put in PG's "startup == growth" essay, then asked to make a case for it, then asked to make a case against it. Got strong cases both ways. This is an intellectual nuke.

OpenAi's bot will aid in the production of original content in such a fast pace that days will look like years. It can feel overwhelming, but if you forecast into the last consequence you can see that soon enough we will have so many million substacks that only few will be read.

Most USA common "historical" myths preserved as canon in Hollywood and exported globally are just intergenerational propaganda.

I thought a crypto exchange was about to collapse the other night. I have one of their Visa cards and the only way to get funds off the card is to spend them. So I panic bought $5,000 worth of 25-year shelf life survival food. It’s been a week and the exchange is still up.

I am at 21 crypto years.
