Not disagreeing, but can you link to the source for the rest of us?

  ICE OFFICER Jonathan Ross: After seeing all the media bs about a domestic terrorist getting go fund me. I feel that the officer that was 1000 percent justified in the shooting deserves to have a go fund me. Funds will go to help him.

Thanks for the link, hadn’t seen it yet. Definitely an eye-opener for me.

Current US population: 348 million

3.5% of that: 12 million

No Kings protest attendance, Oct 18 2025: ~7 million



What people are most likely to see in others, is what they already have in themselves.



Yep, it's converging to the same system...

In China government is controlled by chosen members of the ruling party who become wealthy through it;

In the US the government is controlled by billionaires who become powerful through it.

Neither is a "government by the people" nor a "democratic people's republic" and both are enacting more and more similar policies.


If you think of it like cloud, where it's a commodity that reaches competitive prices, then you can use it to build products and applications, instead of competing for infrastructure (see also: railroads, optical fiber)

There is tons of money to be made at the application layer, and VCs will start looking at that once the infrastructure layer collapses.

Here's a blog post I wrote about that: https://parsnip.substack.com/p/models-arent-moats


It's a good take. I think both trajectories are occurring simultaneously.

OpenAI challenging Google search is a winner takes all situation, not to mention the vast amounts of user data.

On the other hand, us lesser mortals can leverage AI like a commoditized service to build applications with it.


Not really though. The cloud has some stickiness. It’s pretty hard to move once you’ve settled in. For a lot of AI integrations though it’s just swapping some API endpoints and maybe tweaking the prompting a bit. For probably 95% of AI use cases there almost no barrier to switching.



One can see he knows little about AI and relies on the judgments of others. Yet, he knows a lot more about economics, finance, and history than most AI practitioners.

As a founder of an AI company, I actually agreed with most of the article and found it to be very close to my mental model of the world. Turns out you might actually not need to understand what's causing the hype if you know that history rhymes...!


Yep, it's highly illegal to use crypto in China
