We need Calpers (California pension fund) and others to do this as well.

This is how everything has been. They are telling on themselves.

Election fraud, “The Swamp”, all of it. It was a roadmap.

Don't worry, it will be all dumped on the SP 500 as soon as it is at its hype peak.

OpenAI has a broken business model

Don't worry, they will buy up OpenAI's contracts once they implode.

Anthropic is the Google to OpenAI's Yahoo.

EU workers themselves get a lot less, but the EU is expensive because of 1) the huge payroll tax (45% in France) and 2) the challenges with hiring and firing mean you are carrying people that aren’t contributing.

I don’t think that’s a hot take, BitTorrent learned from Gnutella and made a better protocol. Gnutella is important historically, but it had a lot of downsides as a protocol that BitTorrent improved on.

It really does feel like OpenAI has lost their leadership. I haven’t used a model of theirs, let alone an app, in months.

The winners get to write history.

It should not surprise you to learn that Greg Brockman is a Trumper and major donor.

It should also not surprise you that the Epstein files have not been released.

Everything is possible and not possible in a corrupted system.

I mean I think we can expect that from the then Chinese and now Billionaires that own it

It is intended to disrupt immigration full stop and especially brown immigration.

This is exactly the reason -- or a tax against borrowing against assets once your net worth is high enough -- or not reseting capital gains at death. The entire system is currently basically rigged such that these ultra rich people pay no taxes.

It isn't, because the ultra rich have no capital gains. They get ultra low interest rate loans against assets so they never have to sell assets and trigger capital gains. Google "Buy, Borrow, Die" if you don't understand this strategy.

The ultra rich are desperate to maintain their exclusive access to essentially pay no taxes through their "Buy, Borrow, Die" strategy (if you don't understand what that is you should stop and read this: https://gemini.google.com/share/e230bcecaaeb) and so they are using scare tactics / gaslighting around wealth taxes because a wealth tax would disrupt this essentially zero tax strategy.

You need to understand the "Buy/Build, Borrow, Die" cycle that the ultra rich use to avoid basically any taxes.

Touching grass is woke mind virus /s

It is hard to take anyone seriously that says “The woke mind virus.”

That is what is wrong with it.

No that’s the implementation, the premise is that the current internet is not working for us (the people) and we need to move to something that does.

At least he got the premise right, if not the implementation. That is better than 50% of articles. :)

Ok, this isn’t the way (replacing TCP/IP is impossible - we can’t even upgrade the VERSION of IP for god’s sake), but I do like the intent.

Since you have nerd sniped me, I will take a riff at what the principles should be (feel free to disagree):

1. The internet should be centered on devices we own. It runs on our devices, data is stored on our devices. For god’s sake, you can get a 20TB drive now for $500.

2. The internet should be local-first too. The normal order of operations should mean that things are local such that they work offline too by default.

3. The internet should be private. What we view shouldn’t be trackable. I think some of this falls out of 1 and 2, but something something like Tor for the rest.

I think this aligns with the principles of local-first software: https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/local-first/ largely, with a twist of content addressed storage for bulk static content exchange (so more Git than CRDTs).

And then the new links will be added to Wikipedia.

We need to create libraries like Anna's Archive that are impossible to take down.

Something like content addressed storage spread across many shards running locally that are linked together over Tor.

Bluesky

Texas is going to be the superfund cleanup state in 20 years that Silicon Valley was in the 1980s from all of the sinning in the 1960s.

I would actually say that for most business people this is all "about numbers" and aren't in the slightest worried about deleting something.

This is why efforts like Internet Archive and others are so important. Whatever you think of 538, it _is_ history, and in this digital world it needs to be preserved.

I suspect that Mythos doesn't have a business model that works

DevRel or whatever we call that now

The classic definition of a startup is "A temporary entity in search of a scalable business model."

This incredibly still fits all of these entities.
