There's a South American/EU company jumping into the mix so, yah
It seemed good to have diversification away from American/Canadian miners a bit but also, Saudi's history/present political leadership is a BIT icky
to put it nicely

Add rail, HV transmission that pipeline?
Damn am I really using my time/skill to imagine (which means plan) future Saudi infrastructure now :(
Hey, they are building $200b of mining stuff on the eastern edge of that line over the next 3 years
hmmm
Yup, that is a big deal and I don't think I'm the only person who thinks cooperate leaderships values matter ESPECIALLY with this type of product
But also, I don't want guardrails on MY ai :)
We can still be friends. The other thing is people love there 'personalization' of Ai (NOT THE AI ITSELF) reasonably so, so there's alot of emotion in 'which is best' ha.
It may be Claude and the moral courage of leadership aspect makes me interested enough to try it seriously now!
Not to be a Google Fanboy so much but in comparisons of Gemini vs others no one mentions
1. integration advantage
2. fact that all the data they scrap/index daily from google search means you can do alot more before getting 'blocked' off a site (if ever)
Plus labs - labs.google.com/search?sourc...
You'd be surprised how useful the middle one is LOL because google is used widely by the government :)

If you go to Gemini . com and look at your options do they have these? ha
And this is a fraction. Most of the Alpha features are on each google tool.
Claude is cool cause yah I can test it fully for way less then 10 months on Google Ultra.
+ Every time they offer an Alpha in a product, I say yes
Ps - thereβs no way you can judge Gemini unless you pay for ultra ($500/month - but thatβs way less then what Iβll spend in Claude tokens if I switch - cause Iβm not technical I fuck around a lot)
And are optβd into several of Googleβs alpha programs which you canβt sign up for but βapplyβ
This isnβt true. Weβre fighting so government insiders can make money on polymarket

Gemini is far superior then Claude to me still
But thatβs only because Iβve spent 2 hours on Claude and months on Gemini (which is really Googleβs platform with Gemini being infused into all the tools - Google earths Gemini features now π€―)
But Iβm trying out Claude
No offense (because you may be right) but the tools have gotten complex enough that you canβt just say βitβs bestβ you need to consider how easy it is to use / learn as the consumer
I do that by being the consumer lol
Clause seems great. Different pricing structure (Google ultra=fixed per month)
Yes you can still make money playing against the markets watched for politics thus manipulated against reality for politics
But itβs truly not worth it morally or even financially cause you hold tokens not dollars at polymarket / Kalshi
Itβs worth having an account with $10 at both to see things
Donβt be a counterparty
I stopped after the NYC mayoral elections
Gemini still undervalued but I did make a Claude account. Probably will end up paying for both cause it takes awhile to learn other tools. Both are vying for the Gold medal
OpenAI was the first mover but who cares itβs the worst of these 3 now. It wins Bronze

I think itβs bots. No real person is that stupid
But if the impact on oil is muted itβs tradable. And I donβt think (as) immoral as polymarket related derivatives
Literally some Rβs this weekend have done the math saying βo itβs just irans oil production that goes away who caresβ
LOOK UP HOW MUCH IS SHIPPED THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WITH NO OTHER ROUTE TO MARKET
What % of that is Iranian
Like you can ask Gemini this

IRR is more then a million % lol
How can I invest? (Legally!)
O wait, i canβt. The new Russia equity opportunities in oil and gas are only for administrative connected officials

You know I think the country to the north became geopolitically unstable recently & has a direct supply line to Russia which has huge incentives to drive up oil prices
Doing some quick math on the cost of lobbing a SSM every few days vs $ x increase in oil
Itβs a very high IRR tho. Like billions
Big deal
