Very strange and fragile. I don't remember ever communicating with Taleb at all, and I'm actually kind of a fan.

The wave is hitting the beach and not stopping.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

We are past the point of political disagreement. We are witnessing a catastrophic collision between unchecked narcissism and obvious neurological decay. It is the most dangerous intersection in American history: a man with the absolute power of the Presidency and the absolute cognitive failure of a person no longer tethered to reality.

There are reports from 7 States who say their voting machines are switching votes for Democrats to Republicans. In one State a singular Democrat vote is switching to 3 Republican votes. This is how Trump, the President of The United States is trying to steal the election with Elon Musk..

Are we going to do anything when they steal this election? Doesn’t seem so. DT and family have been stealing our international respect and billions of dollars and we’ve done nothing. Is there a breaking point, or are we already defeated?

The closetocracy is coming apart at the seams.
Trump: I told the generals, I said, do me a favor, General, would you do me a favor? All these handsome guys, they look like they're always great looking, these 4-star guys. I don't know if they get the job by their look. But there are these 3 beautiful guys standing in front of me

It's very funny how debt is forgivable when it's tied to yachts, hedge funds, or failed businesses, but suddenly becomes a character flaw when it's tied to education, healthcare, or survival.

In a pathological society, insane, self-harming behavior will be celebrated in order to sustain and normalize the pathology.

The premise of this is way off. Nobody "understands" the financial system today. We are the cows of the present.
"We are the cows of the future... Just as cows can't understand the financial system that controls their lives today, we will not be able to understand the AI financial system that will control our lives in 10 or 20 years."

I’m sure I’m not the first to do so, but I’m predicting that everything will gradually become harder to do without using AI. They’ll wear us down to accepting something we don’t want by making it increasingly difficult to exist without it.

UnitedHealth reported $4.1 billion in profit for Q3 — up 75% from a year ago. Your reminder that health insurance profits are your denied claims and cut coverage. Demand Medicare for All.

This is how empires fall: the ruling class loots the treasury, privatizes the gains, socializes the losses, and obscures the wreckage while those responsible plan their escape. The public inherits the debt, the ruins, and the bill. The empire isn't broken. It's being plundered.

It’s shocking but not surprising that America is getting public executions before they get public healthcare.

Possibly the only positive thing in American politics is watching rich idiots burn fortunes in their ego-fueled fires.
Elon Musk to the rescue? The world's richest man has quietly funneled more than $276 million into GOP groups and his super PAC since July, making him by far the largest known donor in the midterms as he tries to save the beleaguered party. @teddyschleifer nytimes.com/2026/10/12/us/po…

DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.

The documentary "Musk" by @alexgibneyfilm premieres today in NY & LA and then rolls out more broadly. I've seen it and I've got a feeling Elon won't like it. I had a great conversation with Alex about the film. You can watch here or listen on @NonzeroPods. youtube.com/watch?v=S334zDOB…
