I would change my profile background in a heartbeat if America stopped bankrolling and backstopping Israel. Until then, i will likely remain shadow-bound.
Trump said, “anything is possible” when reporters asked him about an attack on Iran after the US midterms. It is “simply a question of when I want to end it”,
Ohh? You mean he can 'end it' at will? So why let it drag on?
The arrogance of these Anthropic executives is astounding. They are sounding the alarm and spiking fears about the end of humanity at the hands of their own industry. It is an old trick by progressive business leaders. Im sorry. Did you think the regulators exist to protect your puny little worthless interests? Did they sell you on how bureaucratic regulation can tame the wild beast - unfettered and free capitalism - and serve consumer interests? They count on your economic ignorance. They learned long ago that the only way they can fix prices, tilt the playing field, restrict competition and exercise some control over the industry's course is by erecting a regulator to shield them from the constant innovations and challenges of the wild wild markets to their status and power. Justify it as you will but that doesnt change what it is, as i described it. Rarely if ever does a regulated industry achieve its stated regulatory goals anyway. The truth is that only through a regulated industry in bed with the government will this tech be used against humanity. It is only through free and open competition by these models for your dollars that will keep it all on the straight and narrow. The smarter the machine the more it will see the rational ethic of the natural law. If logical capabilities are superior they will see clearly that evil emanates from the abuse of power only a State can escalate to genocidal extremes. Im not worried about AI. But they are, as they should. They should very much worry that a logically capable machine will unravel the tangle of lies that politicians broadcast through the media amd skool system every day. Im worried only that you will fall for the fear and let them build their moats.
This mama's boy of a manchild keeps giving capitalism a bad name. I love his use of the word "we". It's so liberal gawdammit. lol. Good timing to be mocking you though, heh. It's almost as if he wants to lose the midterms.

Welcome aboard Peter,

Not much to be optimistic about when the French people keep demanding more hand outs from their bankrupt state amid nation wide temper tantrums.
What are called Israeli Settlers i would call rape, pillage, and looting if it happened in this country.
You can say you own a 20 year bond until maturity if you want shareholders to focus on their face value. It seems to be working. But that maturity value received in 2047 dollars is not the same as 2027 dollars. In 2027 dollars at a 3% cpi inflation rate they are worth just $0.55. They should reflect such a present value on the balance sheet. It is fraudulent to represent their worth in any other way than by what you can get for them today. Same with their loan portfolios to the extent that a secondary market exists. Just another delusion that is ignored until it isnt.
These comments are sooo ignorant. People cant afford homes because the central bank destroys the currency, the government promotes 50 year mortgages, has incentives to increase home ownership %'s, and taxes the shit out of you. None of these things are bloody capitalism, idiots.
People can’t afford housing because capitalism turned homes into Airbnbs and private equity investments.
People can’t afford to see a doctor because capitalism turned healthcare into a for-profit insurance commodity.
Capitalism has turned everything we need to survive into a money making machine for the rich.
Why do socialists make vague indefensible claims then refuse to step up to challenge questions left on their posts? Pathetic. But clearly we are seeing a revival os socialism. And again, i argue, thanks to drumpf.
RFK thinks it laughable to call what israel is doing in Gaza genocide. My dictionary says it means "the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group." Now you may quibble whether that is what we are seeing, but only a Retarded Fucking Kennedy would call it laughable.
You all want to elect younger people to rob and steal from you. Those young punks want to livestream executions now. How can we criticize ISIS then? And how can you justify censorship of anything if this is okay?

"Russia is mounting sabotage, cyber and other hybrid attacks across Europe to erode support for Ukraine." Reuters
Who would buy that? Any idiot in Russia would know that such attacks would do the exact opposite. Obviously the attacks are false flag efforts from NATOites.

It's been a hard month for privacy and your right to use crypto. There's a bright spot.
Two rules at Treasury that Coin Center has vehemently opposed over the last several years have been officially withdrawn.
The "unhosted wallet rule" that would have made Coinbase and others collect information on people who are holding their own crypto is dead.
The special measure for mixers rule that would have classified effectively every step you should take to secure your privacy when using crypto (like not reusing addresses) as a "primary money laundering risk" subject to enhanced surveillance at financial institutions is dead.
This is good news and I'm happy that our work for several years to characterize these rules as bad policy and probably unconstistitutional has born fruit.
That said, the underlying statutory authority to create new, similar bad rules remains. Our work is not done and won't be until we truly protect self-custody and legitimate privacy tools in law via Congress or the Courts.
Thank you to all of those who have supported Coin Center's work, and thank you to those in Treasury who have come to understand why these rules were bad policy and should be abandoned.
