"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"
No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.
Pretty happy Ring fully outed themselves during the Super Bowl. Straight to the trash can.
McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man?
Lyons: Yes
McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?
Right now dozens of guys across America are playing out their fantasy of standing up and suggesting the party watch Kid Rock instead, and everyone enthusiastically agreeing
Thank you!
Haha might give it some breathing room first!

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.
We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

Depending on how right I am, I worry that the following will happen: NVIDIA will lose anywhere from 40% to 90% of its revenue in a relatively short amount of time, which will annihilate the value of the S&P 500. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta will face massive, multi-billion dollar impairments within the next few years. Oracle will face potential bankruptcy or at least a severe, horrendous series of layoffs and restructuring efforts to try and right the ship after agreeing to $248 billion in lease obligations primarily to get the revenue from its $300 billion, 5-year-long deal with OpenAI, a company that is going to run out of money in the next year. Venture capital is going to take such a severe haircut from the AI bubble that it will effectively kill any chances of raising a round after Series B for many, many years. Those $178.5 billion in data center debt deals will be predominantly underwater, leading to massive losses for private equity and banks (leading to a chill in effectively all debt markets), and massive job losses across the many, many construction projects that have started as a result of the AI bubble. If OpenAI or Anthropic can manage to go public, every investor will lose out as they collapse under the weight of their bullshit assumptions. Every partner, every company relying on them, every infrastructure provider will be burned. I also believe that we, as a society, will face a violent paradigm shift as a result of the AI bubble bursting, because it revealed how many people do not understand stuff. The amount of bosses, influencers, movie stars, politicians and other individuals of note that have fallen behind generative AI and claimed again and again that it can do things that it can’t and perpetuated myths that will lead to massive societal harms both today and in the future have revealed themselves as fucking frauds.
Large Language Models are a global gaslighting experiment, where inefficient and questionably-functional software can convince you that it works because you managed to manipulate its handles with the right prompts — explaining away its failures as you go, and getting increasingly agitated with those who don’t agree with you that you’re living in the future. This piece forced me to live in the past for hours and hours and hours, and all it taught me is that people are desperate to compare this era to another as a means of explaining away the bad habits and specious ideas of a tech industry run by fucking influencers and management consultants. By comparison, the Dot Com Bubble was sensible, built on good ideas executed by greedy people rushing to do things based on ideas they didn’t understand. The AI Bubble is happening in a remarkable era of digital information and connectivity that allows us to process and analyze details at scale and with speed, and everybody who inflated this era should — and by my fucking sword will be made to — experience inextricable, permanent shame for the horrors that will follow as a result. And believe me, even if I’m half right, things will likely be so much worse than when the dot com bubble burst. I don’t see a scenario where anything survives the collapse of CoreWeave, let alone the collapse of OpenAI. I don’t see a scenario where any more than a few AI startups survive, and if that happens, there won’t be any customers for those GPUs — not that anywhere near enough existed to fill even a tiny percentile of the demand that currently exists, or for the capacity we’ve already built. On some level, I hope I’m wrong. I just don’t know how anymore. Anyway, see you next week.
I am terrified that the end of the AI bubble will be magnitudes worse for the global economy than the dot com bubble, and for society at large. So many people have been so confidently wrong, and I'm not sure what happens when that becomes impossible to ignore.

At long last, China has built the megawatt-scale airborne wind system from the classic sci-fi novel "Do build the megawatt-scale airborne wind system to produce 10x more energy".
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
Oh hell yeah
Why is it always the same republicans always parroting that fucking Reagan quote about the 9 most terrifying words being “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” also put ten toes down on the US government being the greatest help to any foreign state. #venezuela #iran

Read the #cosmere this year and then my ego told me I could also read the entire Wheel of Time series…didn’t quite make it but racked up my pages count for sure

202. Defendants also actively obstructed law enforcement by denying investigators access to Little St. James beyond its boat dock. 203. Defendants also attempted to conceal their criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct by paying large sums of money to participant-witnesses, including by paying for their attorneys’ fees and case costs in litigation related to this conduct. 204. Epstein also threatened harm to victims and helped release damaging stories about them to damage their credibility when they tried to go public with their stories of being trafficked and sexually abused. 205. Epstein also instructed one or more Epstein Enterprise participant-witnesses to destroy evidence relevant to ongoing court proceedings involving Defendants’ criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct. 206. Defendants also concealed their fraud on the Government in obtaining unearned tax benefits by providing false testimony and submitting false and inaccurate reporting to the Economic Development Commission to prevent detection of Defendant Southern Trust Company’s non-compliance with requirements concerning the nature of its business and the residency of the persons it employed.
Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

These 86 Democrats. That also spent their careers enabling the fascism we see now on behalf of the concentrated capital interests they serve instead of the constituents that elected them.
