@awealthofcs@mark_dow Routine is taking over dollar (stablecoins)
You do live in metaverse (twitter, podcasts, YouTube).
No one said that.
DOGE wasn’t allowed to reduce spending.
Some tech predictions this decade:
Crypto is going to take over the dollar
Everyone is going to live in the metaverse
NFTs are going to replace art
DOGE is going to save the govt trillions
I think it's perfectly fair (for now) to be skeptical about tech's AI forecasts
I understand the thesis that software stocks are cooked (not necessarily agree, but understand). What I don’t get is how the market can simultaneously price NVDA as the world’s most valuable company.
Nvidia owns no fabs or physical infra. Their only edge is designing chips and the software on top of those chips.
If Sonnet 5 is going to vibe code a better database than Snowflake, then why wouldn’t Opus 6 be able to replicate the IP cores and PHYS IP and Cuda software and make a better GPU than Nvidia?
@AviFelman Agreed
It's negative until Trump leaves and then it'll swing back once he's gone
Long-term nothing has changed, it might just suck for a while
There's a thesis out there that Bitcoin has become "co-opted" by the Trump administration and therefore BTC is now distasteful to a wide set of investors. While temporarily true, this will not last.
Trump will leave office, and Bitcoin will be set free. Attention spans are short, this is not a forever situation. Don't make the mistake of thinking it is. Bitcoin will outlast this administration, and the next.
@AnthropicAI@claudeai Anyone else experiencing Claude Cowork failures?
Worked perfectly for 5 days. Last 72 hours: nothing but errors.
"VM connection timeout after 60 seconds"
"ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR"
Tested on 2 different Macs, 2 different networks (including phone hotspot). Not a network issue on my end.
Support bot keeps telling me to check my router settings. 🙃
Anyone else seeing this?
> preaches "skin in the game" and antifragility while living large off book royalties and occasional trading wins
> wannabe philosopher
> drops made-up words like "ergodicity," "Lindy effect," "via negativa" to sound profound
> positions as a deadlifting + fitness guru, tweets about fasting, walking, barbell routines to build "antifragile" body
> still a fatass
> gym pics look impressive til you realize it’s just a couple 25lb plates on the bar
> blasts pseudointellectuals in long rants, yet he’s the ultimate pseudo-intellectual: just uses big words so people think he’s smart
> incredibly thin skin - blocks critics and dissenters on X within minutes
@jasminewsun@mark_dow History books homie.
Is Jasmine Sun just a simple dum dum that got made by watching Bush or Obama?
No, you’re more than that. Stop treating everyone else like a retard
if you’re 21 now, Trump has been president or running for president since you were 10. this obviously had gargantuan consequences for Gen Z's views on democracy, virtue, success & basically everything else
Trump shaped a whole generation's personal character, and we still don't talk about it enough
@ErikVoorhees@compliantvc also obvious that none of these people use LLMs.
it doesn't create magic out of thin air.
It can help someone be better by 20% on everything.
Compound returns.
Just had tea with a group of European VCs
They all agreed:
AI is dead.
The "technology" isn't transformative and no AI companies have invented anything unique or interesting
All the investors I met with are done with AI and ready to move on to the next thing
I asked what the emerging trend is
They all answered in perfect unison:
Compliance.
That's right. GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 Compliance are growing faster than any other portion of the economy
Compliance is the new AI.
