What’s crazy: it reminds you that there was a time not too long ago when you could go from Europe to South Asia without any major troubles.

Dario Amodei was so worried about Y2K that his high school teacher still remembers it decades later.
He’s been a doomer for much longer than I thought!
Long before they were soon-to-be billionaires, Dario and Daniela Amodei were students at San Francisco’s most elite public high school. sfchronicle.com/tech/article…

Good Morning from Germany, where one of Europe’s biggest landlords calls the country “uninvestable.” Heimstaden is withholding fresh capital over Berlin’s expropriation plans. It owns 20,000 apartments in the city worth ~€5bn and estimates a potential €1bn loss. Its hybrid bond has plunged from ~98 cents in August to 82.5. The irony: a policy meant to tackle the housing shortage risks driving away investment without building a single new home. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.
Well, obviously not. All of US military was against it as well. The interesting question is: Will Peter Thiel draw the right conclusions what the root cause was and why it nevertheless happened.

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024.
“They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

Es gibt zwei Gründe dafür, dass es in Berlin keine Vergesellschaftung von Wohnungen geben wird:
1. Art. 74 Abs. 1 Nr. 15 Grundgesetz
2. Mathematik
Das Problem ist nur, dass Linke, SPD und Grüne Mathematik, insbesondere Zinsrechnung, nicht verstehen.
q.e.d.
Ich bin ja für die Vergesellschaftung von großen Wohnungsunternehmen in Berlin.
Warum? Diese Flachzangen in den Schattierungen links, sehr links und super links werden es eh nicht verfassungskonform hin bekommen, aber ihr ganze Energie in diesem Mammutprojekt binden — was verhindert, dass sie anderswo noch größeren Schaden anrichten.
Going by gut feeling here, but top 3 things in the tech scene to cause psychosis:
- Ayahuasca
- Vibe coding
- Amphetamines
Es fühlt sich so an, als ob wir als Gesellschaft feststecken.
Aber da ist es wie mit jedem herkömmlichen Stau auf der Autobahn: du kommst nur vorwärts raus, nicht rückwärts.
Also, vorwärts vorwärts vorwärts!
das muss so kicken, wenn man keine Ahnung von Volkswirtschaft hat 🤩
