(IIUC) Like David said, it's a hedge against the bubble being real. GS certainly isn't pulling back from the void yet.

I feel like the story of Cassandra would be much more gratifying if she'd had access to powered armor.

Thanks, this is a nifty read; I'm appreciating having a look into the world of the bastards who are ruining the web with residential proxy/botnet operations. I had kind of (mistakenly) assumed that the scrapers mostly relied upon IoT trash and hacked Fire sticks. We really can't have nice things anymore, huh?

The company is embroiled in legal action in Israel. After it filed suit against a former employee, he countersued, alleging that Luminati is widely used for click fraud. As part of the suit, it was revealed that the spyware company NSO Group was a Luminati client.

Well that escalated quickly

PS: i really really wish my special interests would quit touching

Looks like they're gonna ruin BattleBots with AI somehow. Bright Data appear to be web scraping bastards as a service.

I'll never forgive them for what they did to the 80 lb slab of rotating steel.

The way these people can just hang their asses out and lie continuously is something humanity is going to have to fuckin handle at some point.

A slice of life article about the futility of "highly agentic" people, their sperm races, and Donald Boat. Scott A makes a cameo where he dispenses crackers.

A Harpers contributer does the legwork and gets a head start on deflating the next dumb hype cycle.

 

404 Media develops a skeptical take on an unhinged conference presentation.

TLDR: IAEA appears to be cooked. Peak lunacy is on display.

The comments are full of quality sneers.

Edit: The whole presentation feels like the product of an extended manic episode, it's comoleyely ungrounded from the realities of operating a commercial nuclear power plant.

 

This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

 

Absolutely delusional wishcasting on the part of our very good friends.

Pro-tier sneers by seasoned veterans, get em while they're hot!

Edit: I am reliably informed that it is no longer hot.

 

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.

 

When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
