Current state of the market: Google stock, $GOOGL, erased -$160 billion in 2 hours after OpenAI launched a web browser. Then, it added +$180 billion back 4 hours later after everyone realized OpenAI's web browser is just Google Chrome with ChatGPT bolted on.

Friday Night Ideas of my wife: A restaurant where diners each get their own bathtub; serving French wine, Italian pasta.

Oh no what happened here. Someone accepted $115 DAI on their Ape thinking it’s 115 ETH? ($380k USD). Ouch.

I used my primary corporate laptop for registry hack testing and now the option to not shut down when I close the lid has disappeared. I'm the biggest idiot in this company.
