@araghchi For future reference, you don't have to capitalize Powerful Armed Forces.

@KevinHollis_557 Beats me. But I bet the information is out there.

@OldGreggRussell Yeah, the float shrink angle is interesting. Do you think buybacks like this actually change long-term valuation, or is it more about short-term EPS support and sentiment?

@unusual_whales Properly written: "BREAKING: OpenAI is reportedly preparing to file as early as this week to go public through a IPO, per CNBC

I have no idea if Barney Frank was a good and kind person. I had all of one conversation with him many years ago. I won’t speak ill of the dead so I will just talk facts. Frank was instrumental in inflating the real estate bubble that crippled this country in 2008. That,by itself, is important in remembering his legacy but it’s dwarfed by the bigger story. The fact that he was picked to craft the legislation that they pretended would address HIS failures in the future and then got to attach his name to it was one of the bigger psyop “F-you’s” to those suffering in an economic calamity that he created(partially)…

@ssh_rest @invaderalex I guess you could say I'm being condescending to my former self.

@ssh_rest @invaderalex The condescension is because we have become old enough to possess the earned wisdom that younger generations are trying to avoid gaining for themselves.

It's significantly easier to have a proper discussion with a Japanese person on twitter through auto translate than with a Boomer in my own language.

@firstadopter He's a problem solver. They don't go into politics.

Holy crap. This interview. Too much logic and common sense. Jeff Bezos talking too much sense about housing supply/demand policy to fix high rents, zero taxes for poor. Bezos for President! Competence Party!

@arluzawolf @invaderalex Ironically your own inhumanity is central to this statement and the fact that you made it.

@invaderalex The Japanese can, theoretically be a human. Boomers and their Masters are not human and forfeited their ability to become humans long ago. This is why you can communicate with one but not the other.

“I’m saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don’t give a flying fuck he died,” says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson’s teenage sons “are better off without him” and should “enjoy the blood money.”

The future of journalism? Credentialed members of the NYC press corps came to Luigi Mangione’s hearing today to support the defendant they’re purportedly reporting on and to promote jury nullification “to the most cucked and submissive population in all of human history”

@costplusdrugs Don't take this the wrong way but this makes me take you seriously. Pretty brave to do this knowing the blowback you'll get for working (for objective good) with you know who.

@Fxhedgers "Designed against them" what hysteria

A RECORD NUMBER OF 18-YEAR-OLDS ARE SET TO GRADUATE INTO AN ECONOMY DESIGNED AGAINST THEM At commencement ceremonies across the country this May, a telling phenomenon is obvious. A speaker steps to the podium. They say the words “artificial intelligence.” And the audience erupts in boos. It happened at the University of Central Florida, when real estate executive Gloria Caulfield told arts and humanities graduates that “the rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution.” It happened at the University of Arizona with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, even though he went out of his way to calm the obviously strong emotions. “There is a fear in your generation that the future has already been written,” according to remarks reported by NBC News, “that the machines are coming, that the jobs are evaporating, that the climate is breaking, that politics is fractured, and that you are inheriting a mess that you did not create, and I understand that fear.” Full article: msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

@levie The best point here is "equally need companies to think about how they craft pipelines into these jobs." The industry can't wait on sclerotic universities. They should band together to form their own education programs -- which would also address their growing P.R. problem.

Right now there’s a temporary mismatch between the jobs that used to be sought after in some fields and the new jobs that are becoming in demand in those fields. For instance, if you studied CS, for years the general direction of travel was often to join a tech company and build customer-facing software in some form. A significant portion of the CS pipeline from college to hire was built for this. When you realize that AI is going to make coding abundant, you realize everyone will need technical talent to implement agentic systems. This means the types of roles engineers should be thinking about radically expands. I was talking to a Fortune 500 pharma CEO a week ago that commented on how much more technical talent they need right now. The job may be different from what it was 5 years ago when thinking about tech, but the demand for the skills are still there. And this is what I’m hearing from every CIO and CEO across nearly every industry right now. We definitely need colleges to wake up to this; but we equally need companies think about how they craft pipelines into these jobs.

@firstadopter "And what was with the media doing what they always do?"

And what was with the media conflating and exaggerating the importance of the trial?

@LoganDobson Nobody's stopping him from joining the Amish.

Appreciate it when the AI doomer crowd occasionally lets the mask slip a little (Allen is a co-founder of the anti-AI group Humans First and frequent guest on conservative podcasts pushing, uh, Unabomber messaging)
