COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don’t we just make more GPUs? ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons. COWEN: What’s stopping that? What’s the ultimate binding constraint? ALTMAN: We’re working on it really hard. COWEN: If you could have more of one thing to have more compute, what would the one thing be? ALTMAN: Electrons.

I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics.

Methodology

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

I was told women would love my shampoo/conditioner/toothpaste combo

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

People can remain irrational longer than they can remain solvent

Lot of ‘Sensible Adults’ on this app trying to convince everyone else that actually the Democrats had to cave because they needed to sacrifice one vulnerable group for another.

Unsurprisingly, it never crosses their mind that we can try to NOT sacrifice anyone, though….

I will just say - before the Brits wake up to see US news - that the Scourge of the Sensible Adult is something that is international and speaks to a greater issues that needs to be addressed if we want true progress in our lives.

"I would take a bullet for you,” the Politician said. He always said that. “Please don’t say that,” I said. I always said that. From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible. I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech. Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment.

I regret to inform you that Olivia Nuzzi's book appears to be Perfect

insane, stupid, comically overwritten, dishy, politically indefensible I cannot wait to get my hands on it I must accept this is who I am as a person at some deep level whether I like it or not www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

People often, often people I do not know very well, reach out to tell me that I have appeared in their dreams. I wonder if this is because I sleep so little. If the version of me who lives on the plane of dreams tires of waiting for me to release her to action, if she goes out searching for places where she may exist without my permission, if she identifies the minds of those who have felt any kindness toward me, if she thinks that within their dreams she might get to live freely instead. I wonder, too, if this is a function of being a visible face but a veiled personality. If my impression contains empty space that renders me an adaptable idea and thus a useful device for subconscious minds. It is nice to think of this, that I might still be in some way, to someone, of use.

The prose is incoherent & the only way to make it through a paragraph is to rely on the North Star or her self-pitying narcissism. The gist of this graf is “strangers obsess about me, must be because I work so hard,” but it is almost immediate lost in the morass of “typed on notes app while hiking”

The Crypto Industry’s $28 Billion in ‘Dirty Money’

More good coverage on crypto fraud in the NYT this morning. Note the phrase "at least $28 billion". It is undoubtedly A LOT more than $28 billion because the technology is so perfectly designed to be untraceable AND this doesn't include all kinds of fraud. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/t...

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

What a bunch of losers.

Who in the world believes that online instantaneous sports gambling from your phone advertised on every sporting event at all times is a good idea, aside from the corporations making money from it and the politicians they spread it around to?

Would be interesting to see it color coded by party control.

The Louvre 2: Bluesky Boogaloo

I hear you, insanity is how my family would have described these prices 10 years ago

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

One thing that seems like it would be potentially valuable right now is for some kind of private/academic consortium to try to compile and release data about the state of the economy, since it seems like official stats are almost certainly going to be either nonexistent or wildly unreliable.

Not that you need it, and it’s a different style, but instead of a big rib or chuck roast. Our local butcher had soup bones for $1.99 a pound. Did those in the crock pot and the meat came out incredible!

Glut of consumer auto, heavy trucks, heavy equipment, and machinery on the market. Only going to get worse as the actual slowdown in consumption sets in. Turning into a buyers market for capital conscious firms, tough commercial credit environment though.

My University Just Taught Extremists How to Eliminate Academic Programs They Don't Like Texas Christian University handed its power to the people working hardest to dismantle learning itself.

Yesterday: Alexandra Edwards lays out the simple, four-step plan extremists can follow to dismantle vital University programs like the one she used to work for.

Stephen King: hey guys guess what?

You joke but the Hi-Point carbine is a great cheap gun (accurate and reliable).

Like Silo, but sideways

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

End of The Line: how Saudi Arabia’s Neom dream unravelled Mohammed bin Salman’s utopian city was undone by the laws of physics and finance

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.
