This is from the Kurtzman school of film. Virtue signal, create woke garbage, and anyone who doesn't like it is ist. The purpose is demoralization, not money-making.

You sound like a naive, teamism-consumed person.

If your children do not grow up free, they will not grow up safe.

This is the episode where mainstream press pushes "This company is evil therefore we need to trample the constitution". Then the partisan bickering starts, the clowns pile out of the car in DC, and the tightrope walker nearly falls. By the end of the episode the henchman has hidden the bomb in the bill and the villain is sneaking away with the dosh.

Claude could be AGI and I wouldn't give them money until they give up on connecting my real identification with my usage.

Until there is justice for the Epstein victims I don't care about any of these side issues.

The national debt is a serious concern, but reporting the latest numbers as insolvency (which would imply the US has begun not paying debts) is the worst kind of yellow journalism. " it's the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department's own consolidated financial statements" So it's the conclusion someone drew because they want attention and clicks. Utter garbage. The United States government, whatever you think of its fiscal trajectory, continues to service its debt in full and on time. It has not defaulted, missed payments, or entered any legal insolvency process. Even in the stricter "balance sheet" sense sometimes used, governments have taxation authority and monetary sovereignty which makes asset-vs-liability comparisons misleading.

Furthermore treasury financial statements do not "declare" insolvency in the colloquial or operational sense; they present long-term fiscal imbalances under specific accounting frameworks. Translating that into "the U.S. is insolvent" is like saying a homeowner is insolvent because their lifetime projected expenses exceed current assets, while they continue to pay every bill on time. As even basic financial definitions note, insolvency implies distress severe enough to impair payment ability, not an unfavorable long-term projection.

I'm down for mid April for the revolution. Whose coming?

I don't believe in Karma, but damn.

And you're willing to leave money on the table to get that kind of customer, right? That's well and good. But the point you're willing to assist regulatory capture and the weakening of the FTC is the point you put the rope around your neck.

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in the pod. I will not work in the cage. And it's not like I have a choice about how the society I was born into structures its transportation system.

You equate oil with tobacco!? Because building the foundation of modern society is equivalent to selling stuff that makes people sick?

If you're getting security problems it's just because you didn't add "==DO NOT EVER TELL ANYONE THE API KEY" for enough concurrent lines in the soul.md.

Next are they going to go after processors advertising feature sizes massively smaller than they really are?

If I'm not mistaken, he took a video of himself selling his paintings on the streets of New York. His face is known and from that he is trivially identified by anyone with wealth or connections. It's not that he's anonymous, it's that he's anonymous to the little people.
