if you’re in ai pivot to tribal law
Replying to @suchenzang
a serious company would move its headquarters onto a reservation, enroll every employee in the tribe, and enforce its non-competes in its own tribal court while avoiding any federal oversight but they simply won't do it

Inflation as measure of mimetic desire
True mimetic desire has never been tried before

sensors are the gateway to novel permitting pathways
few in data are talking about owning differentiated sensors to capture novel data - everyone is red queen racing to unique sources of data (enterprises, bio, etc.) but by controlling the sensor in which a certain form of data can even be made legible, you can control all downstream data feeds (ex: halter and agriculture) ex: in the limit this looks like space telescopes (high capex, R&D intensity, regulatory permission, etc) science.nasa.gov/mission/rom… a few friends have begun to monopolize the most esoteric of sensors and are exhibiting the extreme form of pole position extreme pole position (read: MONOPOLY) involves controlling the interface where reality is made legible to intelligence

inflation perception and the rates supercycle @saengerleo
We're living in a horrifying, fascinating new era of Silicon Valley where: 1. You can build a startup in 9 months, get acquired (but rly acquihired) by OpenAI, Anthropic, or Cognition, and walk away a multi-millionaire 2. You can join the right company at 22 and become effectively post-economic And I don't think we've even begun to grapple with the degree to which this is warping an entire generation's relationship with money, ambition, work, and success. When your peers are making generational wealth before 25, what does a normal career even look like anymore

the path of least resistance to fix the coming crisis is to allow pre-retirement americans to accept a social security buyout in exchange for a lump sum deposited into their trump accounts (530As) with which they can buy spcx/oai/ant/etc at some discount. very simple
