Chicago is not dominated by a single industry like these others, but - it’s an actual city (unlike LA) - with world-class food (unlike DC) - representing the 7th largest GDP by city (bigger than SF) - and doesn’t cost $2m to live in a shoebox (unlike NYC) These other cities are great, though.

There are only four tier-1 cities in the 🇺🇸: New York (finance) DC (government) San Francisco (tech) LA (media & entertainment) No other cities are power centers for aspirational talent. Sorry.

@antoniogm Genuine question: do you ever see an example of how paying the user part of the ad revenue *could* work?

Here comes the massive fraud. AGM's First Law of Ads: Never pay the user. Violate it at your peril.
Andrew McCalip@andrewmccalip

Looks like it's going to be a battle against spammers for the next few days. This is an interesting technical problem. There is no way they get their money out, every account traffic pattern will be reviewed and checked against fraud clusters. It's really not hard to see it. I'm more focused on lightening the load for the server endpoints, which are drowning. There is probably a CloudFlare solution I'll have to implement today. In the meantime, I'm suspending all click revenue, auto-banning all suspicious accounts, implementing user caps at $5 per hour. Thanks for all the love, this has been the craziest 24 hours on twitter since Lk99. Will do my best to keep the vibes immaculate. If you have any issues whatsoever, blanket refunds. I'll get a better advertiser telemetry report baked into the portal soon.

The outgoing state comptroller said the next mayor of Chicago needs to have a "come to Jesus moment" with union leaders and demand the concessions needed to prevent city employee pension funds from going bankrupt and dragging the city under. chicago.suntimes.com/fran-spielman-…

@liamstantonchi If only one of these changes happens, it should be moving the voting date. Everything else will be easier to improve after that.

Most Chicagoans don’t wake up thinking about term limits, election calendars, or city charters. They just want a government they can trust. That’s what these reforms are ultimately about.

The degradation of Chicago’s services and way of life under @chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson can’t be understated. Due to incompetence and corruption, the sections of the city are cut off from each other. It now takes 25 minutes to travel 1 mile from West Loop to Gold Coast on a weekday Construction blocks bridges and closes streets in 2 of the 3 ways to cross the river. The socialist mayor wants these bottlenecks because it creates more corruption opportunities for his donors in the form of bike lanes and union contracts. Chicago is not only spiraling towards bankruptcy, has lost the Bears, and is now un-drivable. Socialism kills cities. Vote him out.

@MaryAnnAhernNBC @Micky_Horstman After the last two mayors, we’d be lucky to have a competent leader like her. Big hill to climb, but she’s the most exciting candidate in the race by far.

@nickkokonas I picked a handful of AI infra positions, but made them count, and it’s been borderline miraculous. I’ve never experienced anything like this past 3 months.

Last Oct. --> Dec. I invested heavily in AI infrastructure stocks -- but not the ones you've likely heard of... small and mid-caps only. Because AI works and will save both money and lives. Result? across a broad port. > 50 equities up 81%. How? using AI of course.

Why has @Apple not built a line of easy-to-use home printers? 1) The current UX of most printers is garbage 2) They should capture the constant photo-taking behavior they've empowered and let people print these photos in high-res at home 3) They could win on brand loyalty alone
