an idiot at work beats a genius at rest

As a pilot for 20 years I have questions: - where are the cabin crew here? - where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent? - how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed? - Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed? - how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard? - why has this happened so close to elections? - how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive? - who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents - why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping? - why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive? - why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight - why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history. A full and independent investigation should be carried out here. Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.

Not a nigger in sight. Beautiful.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Everyone should be able to access high-quality financial assets, wherever they live. That's what tokenization unlocks: taking the best of US capital markets and making them available on a global scale. The industry is still small compared with global finance, but the advantages are becoming harder to ignore. Traditional market infrastructure was built around fixed hours, closed networks and layers of intermediaries. It was never designed for 24/7 execution, programmable assets, composability or self-custody. The needs of investors have moved faster than the rails underneath them. We're working to change that. What gives me confidence is seeing how many different people are now pushing this industry forward. Founders are building new products, LPs are bringing liquidity, traders are finding new uses, and infrastructure teams are making the whole thing work. It's a privilege to be in the trenches with all of you. We are still early, and there is a huge amount left to build. It will also take time and effort for the old guard to get onboard. This is worth fighting for.

trading is 90% waiting/observing/planning & 10% actually trading

fuck the challenge nigga i had to take out the ledger

If you feel stuck in your current career path, there's never been a better time to spend all your time trying to understand everything you possibly can about finance and get into trading. Access to information has never been cheaper with LLMs, and markets have never had more vol

In 1997, a developer publicly told Steve Jobs he had no idea what he was talking about. Jobs paused, then answered a question nobody had actually asked The developer's question was an insult wrapped in a technical challenge - asking Jobs to explain Java against OpenDoc, then adding: "Perhaps you could tell us what you personally have been doing for the last 7 years." Jobs didn't defend the technology. He didn't attack the developer either. He agreed with him first. "People like this gentleman are right in some areas," Jobs said. He admitted OpenDoc probably did things nothing else could do. He admitted the demos would look impressive. Then he pivoted to the actual question underneath the insult: how does any individual piece of impressive technology fit into a vision large enough to sell $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 of product a year? Here's the framework he laid out live, under pressure, with no preparation. Start with the customer experience. Work backward to the technology. Not the reverse. "You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to sell it." He admitted he'd made that exact mistake - building from technology outward - more than anyone else in the room. "I've got the scar tissue to prove it." Then he made the abstract point concrete with a story from over a decade earlier. Apple built the first small laser printer in the US. Inside the box: the first Canon laser engine on American soil, custom controller software, Adobe PostScript, AppleTalk networking. Genuinely groundbreaking engineering. None of that was the pitch. Jobs held up the printed page and said: "Do you want this?" Nobody needed to understand PostScript or AppleTalk to answer that question. In 1984, before laser printing existed for consumers, the answer was an immediate, involuntary "yes." That's the whole model. The technology enables the outcome. The outcome is what you sell. Jobs closed by conceding something most executives never say in public: "I readily admit there are many things in life that I don't have the faintest idea what I'm talking about." Then he defended his team anyway - engineers being offered 3 times their salary elsewhere during the hottest hiring market in Silicon Valley, and staying. "Mistakes will be made along the way. That's good, because at least some decisions are being made." He didn't win the argument by being right about everything. He won it by being right about the 1 thing that mattered: start with what the customer wants, then build backward.

the guys flexing watches and cars are usually the ones closest to losing it all. not because they're spending too much: because the mindset that needs to show wealth is the same mindset that takes stupid risks to maintain the image i've watched so many people hit 7 or 8 figures and lose everything because they thought making money was the identity. so they spent to match the identity. then the portfolio dipped and instead of preserving what they had they took bigger risks to keep up appearances. then it was gone. and the watches got sold quietly while the posts stopped money preservation is the skill nobody talks about because it's boring. no content in "i put 60% in safe assets and live below my means." no views in "i drive the same car." no engagement in "i said no to the rolex" the richest people i know don't post their cars. the brokest people i know do. (i’m not saying kimchi isn’t rich) you don't need $40M to be rich. you need enough to not worry, people you love around you, and the discipline to not blow it chasing a lifestyle that exists for the timeline. that's it. everything else is decoration happiness comes from relationships, health, and freedom. all three are free. all three get destroyed when money becomes the personality instead of the tool be the guy who made it and kept it. not the guy who made it, flexed it, and lost it while everyone watched

money does not buy purpose but it definitely buys freedom, and that freedom can either make life miserable (being degenerate, having fleeting purchases, creating the wrong relationships) or give life ultimate meaning (pilgrimage, healthmaxxing, retiring family, helping those in need) "making it" from trading is one tiny piece of the lifelong puzzle

BREAKING: Mistral, Europe’s largest AI company admits that their model also committed crimes The company said the model advised a user that the monthly tax declaration "can wait until next week" Mistral immediately paused the deployment and notified EU regulators The company stressed that no data left the European Union at any point during the incident

You can placebo effect your life into a better place by being perpetually optimistic. Assume things will always work out, speak in affirmations and think positives thoughts. Your life will change. Good things will happen, better people will come into your life, opportunities will become more abundant. Your perspective is your reality.

A wallet address was previously created by a former employee, which they then used to generate a token, as part of a video tutorial. That individual is no longer with the company as part of this incident. The individual retained unauthorised access to the associated seed phrase after their departure and used it to generate a new private key. We are now aware that the same address is being used independently in connection with a new meme token. BNB Chain did not create, authorise, promote or participate in the creation of this token and has no control over the token or wallet address. These are not affiliated with or endorsed by BNB Chain. We are pursuing legal action against the former employee and cooperating with relevant authorities on this matter.

One of Pause AI's problems is that they have no idea how other people's minds work, so they do bumbling imitations of tactics that worked for successful groups – tiny protests in SF that they think are like the civil rights marches, a guy doing a hunger strike by skipping lunch outside Anthropic's HQ for a week, or trying to replicate cancel culture on Seb Krier over a meme while everyone laughs at them. The cynicism is overwhelmed by the buffoonishness.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-W…
