Crazy take from dinner with friends last night: Does anyone else think #iran, #russia, and/or #china are the good guys? I actually heard someone quote the #communist party, and after a brief moment of perplexion, it turned out they _weren't_ kidding...

Can someone explain why the #USA would get to decide whether #iran should have nukes? I realize that's just war rhetoric and unlikely to be an important motivator for the war, but just for fun, let's pretend morals and principles matter. Why?

#AI is a multiplier. It is currently mainly being used to make better idiots. This is not an AI problem.

I needed to swap some files with the wife, so I copied them to a USB drive and popped it in her MS Surface. Big surprise, windows _still_ does not understand ext4. In 2026. Even with #Linux being an absolute force of nature, and MS cozying up to developers and being all "open-sourcey", they're still the old evil corporation underneath. The Kraken. You're not the client, you're the product. The difference between them and #Google is that #Microsoft never claimed not to be evil, I guess...

Google finance will explain in detail and all day long that the "inflationary bailout" is deeply immoral, using citizens value to keep the system running, and it totally agrees that regulators and economists are simply getting away with this because we let them. Drug dealing and gun-running are beginning to look like the moral high ground these days... #Bitcoin

Just had a fun chat with the Google finance research bot. It's scary how it openly agrees that the trad-fi system is broken, immoral and headed straight into a wall, and then happily move on to suggesting buying the S&P 500. #Bitcoin
