Indians are now buying more Gold for investment than for jewellery! Great chart by the @GOLDCOUNCIL!

EA critics: EAs will cynically lie and adopt positions they don't really believe if they think it will help manipulate people into supporting their cause EAs:

Anyone in crypto knows how destructive EAs are They have a distorted world view that only them can save the world and will go to great lengths to accomplish this - even if it means causing lot of harm along the way SBF lobbied hard against decentralization and open finance Seeing the same parallels here with Dario & co

Frontiers are wild, uncontrollable, anarchic. Frontiers are not balanced, regulated, unified. Frontiers do not have embedded evaluators. Frontiers cannot be paced. That's what makes them frontiers.

“Lets slow down development but not before we IPO at the pico top and privately monetize before we dump on retail” Truly is there anything more evil than this

INCREDIBLE STATEMENT from the Fed that **rips** the big 3 banking cores (but without naming them. I'll name them: FIS, Fiserv & Jack Henry). They are the biggest reason why tech in the US banking sector lags so far behind that of fintechs & securities, as well as the rest of the world's banks. What's missing from the Fed's statement, tho, is the Fed's own role in creating this outcome. About 30 yrs ago, the Fed bestowed an oligopoly on these 3 companies by forcing most of the ~9,000 holders of Fed accounts to integrate with the Fed only thru one of these 3 Fed-approved integrators, rather than directly with the Fed. Look at what that policy has wrought--community banks held hostage by this oligopoly, which tries to sign them up to unchangeable contracts that can be 10 years long, lack of competition, vendor lock-in, and no incentive to innovate. It's a very broken system. Good for the Fed that it's starting to address the core problem, but it won't really be fixed until the Fed allows A LOT more banks to integrate with it directly.

It's always a new grift. It's always the same answer somehow: global Communism

Notable, as Cal Newport pointed out in the NYT, that Jensen is pretty much the only major character in this arc that doesn't have some weird intersection with weird Bay Area Rationalism, etc. Take that as you may.

Sometimes the best thing to do is make people own their grandstanding, as the Department of Education did with Princeton’s claim about their own institutional racism. I want to see Congress haul in Dario and make him choose between anthropic’s future or grandstanding for the regulatory moat. And make him do it in front of the other CEOs. I don’t think they’d all fail like the university presidents did after October 7th. They would twist the knife with technological optimism, which is what we sorely need.

These people are dangerous retards and they need to be suppressed through any means possible
