“I'm not black-pilled on this just yet, but I am a little bit fatalistic.”
@tpacchia on why open-weight AI needs usable tools, education and people willing to adopt it.
TFTC retweeted
“Do you want to make hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of people criminals overnight for downloading software?”
Restricting open-weight AI could turn downloading software into a crime. Punish harmful acts, not possession of code.

“These are extremely powerful tools for authoritarian dictatorships.”
@tpacchia on why control over AI models can become control over the information people receive.

Economist @profstonge on losing your job to AI:
"The main impact of AI is that it is going to reduce wages for college-educated generalists, people who have credentials but no skills. Those people are going to get absolutely savaged.
At this point, the only reason to go to college is to get a concrete skill. If you're graduating this year with a psychology degree or an economics degree, they're going to get hurt."
— Peter St. Onge, economist and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation

@honestpollster on the PAC-money pressure he says he faced and his allegation that Susie Wiles’s people offered to put him on payroll if he stopped criticizing Trump.

Mark predicted the outcome of the mid-terms when he was last on the show in August.
We caught up earlier this week to discuss how it got to this point, the aftermath and where things go from here.
TFTC 809 w/ @honestpollster: "The president's out there banging on about election fraud, when his own pollster told him it was going to be a blue wave."
We discuss:
⚡ The USS Trump-tanic
⚡ Who ran the White House
⚡ America's stealth depression

.@RealEJAntoni says the Iran war reversed purchasing-power gains. Congress refused to cut spending. Republicans made it easier to sell more government control to people who just want a home.

Cyberattackers don't ask for permission.
Defenders shouldn't be met with "I can't help with that."

“He does have a tendency to just say what he wants to happen. But you almost start worrying, like, is he surrounded by so many yes men?”

“So the most likely scenario is a pretty big loss.”

Yanis Varoufakis called bitcoin a solution to undiscovered problems. Now DiEM25 says its bank closed its account, cutting off access to donations.
Hopefully this prompts some introspection about who actually controls your money.

To everybody working on Bitcoin Core, Lightning, wallets, applications, or any other part of the Bitcoin stack: thank you.
The stress is real. So is the opportunity to separate money from state and give individuals more control over their lives.

Every investor in AI stocks is ruined.
If the financing never arrives.
Think about what the AI buildout is made of:
Trillions of dollars of data centers and power plants, paid for with borrowed money, in the same years governments and companies have to roll over more debt than ever.
Liquidity is the constraint.
History shows capital-heavy booms often finish with overcapacity and squeezed margins.
When credit gets scarce, a debt-based system tends to turn to money printing and everything denominated in that money gets diluted along with it.
Bitcoin sits outside all of it.
It has no issuer and it caps out at 21 million.
AI may change the world.
But the scarce assets outside the debt system are what investors may want to own when it does.
