Oppression always has two sides to it. The one who does it. And the one who silently watches it. Don't be on either side. Society, Philosophy, tech in pinned!

BREAKING: Brazil’s President Lula da Silva wins reelection, defeating Trump ally Flávio Bolsonaro
correct take
There’s a simple framework for what consumer interfaces agents will replace:
Does this task induce dopamine or cortisol?
The interfaces for cortisol-inducing tasks (research, planning, scheduling, commodity shopping etc) will get replaced by agents
The interfaces for dopamine-inducing tasks (TikTok, instagram, X, discretionary shopping, gambling, dating apps etc) will be insulated
Scrolling is still the greatest form factor for delivering refined dopamine and agents won’t change that

This probably hits hard if you failed history in high school.
Hitler was a far-Right fascist whose party was named the National Socialist German Workers' Party to attract working-class voters.
Then he banned the Social Democratic and Communist parties, and sent socialists and communists to concentration camps.

I swear SOMETHING broke in society since 2020 and nobody wants to talk about it.
And I’m not talking about masks, lockdowns, or COVID. I mean the FEELING of life.
Everything reopened. We went back to work. Restaurants filled up. Events came back. But somehow life still feels… different.
Years disappear faster. People feel more disconnected. Everything feels more expensive, stressful & rushed.
And somehow we’re all constantly exhausted. I can’t even explain exactly what we lost. I just know life before 2020 felt more ALIVE.
Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this.

Heard of a top law firm completely cutting off Harvey and all API calls to Claude/OpenAI after they saw what openAI did with navier strokes
Now hosting everything locally with GPUs they own, running Kimi and deepseek
Think you’ll see a lot more of this going forward

i’ve said it before but call her daddy has done irreversible damage to women. The problem is that the host and most of her guests are objective tens and also rich. Their lives are significantly different than the average woman. It’s like an average man using Andrew Tate as his guide for his life.

In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

Became a data broker than any new innovation as a product

confession: i've yet to have that moment of feeling that frontier LLMs are geniuses, or super-human at ~anything broadly coherent that i deeply prize
Crypto low IQ folks, who for more than 15 yrs never could build a meaningful useful product in crypto or blockchain except Bitcoin ponzi, are now moving to AI and Data center and still patting themselves on their back
Classic grifters of the last 2 decades

Buried in $SPCX's 10-Q:
$561M of that record Q3 profit isn't rockets. It isn't Starlink.
Boring Company raised a new round in September, so SpaceX marked up its stake in Elon's tunnel company and booked a $561M unrealized gain.
No cash changed hands.
