Apparently it works in binary.

The Stoller piece is instructive - he's wrong, but it's a perfect example of the resentment and the reasons for the resentment.

the second, I think. I'm actually surprised we have no smoking guns on vibe coding in production at MS. Or even one guy saying "hell yeah we totally did."

On the other hand, Nvidia is doing some very questionable circular looking deals.

On the other other hand, Jensen knows precisely how to surf a bubble while it's bubbling, he's done it before. When you do stupid shit and the number goes up, shareholders don't have a lot to get aggrieved about.

The bit where OpenAi and Anthropic need actual real dollars to set on fire.

But why are we talking about some AI agent platform in the Urbit newsletter? Naturally because we think, Urbit fixes this.

As a matter of fact, Tlon is already working on this with their Openclaw Plugin for Tlon Messenger. It is currently in an early adopter phase, but they expect to provide an instance of Openclaw with every ship that they host for their users.

but of course

I get the worst bottom of the barrel AI ads on the YouTube. At least the viewers find them hilarious.

I used to be young and pretty, now I'm old and well preserved

I expect we could rant for hours without drawing breath

I outlined it here a bit. Basically there's a lot of Wall St fuck fuck games - AI is just one of them - that's a tottering heap of dollar-denominated accounting entries for lies and trash. But also, the institutions have been white anted. Trump's pick for the next Fed chair is a bitcoiner who espouses Austrian economics - that is, literally the same gold standard economics that made Great Depression 1 worse.

I'm told it's good for satellite internet, if you only have satellite internet.

 

Or maybe Tesla
