All 3 went out of the window sometimes around 2015 or so.

At least the hypercurated database would be yours and nobody can temper with it or subtract it from you , contrary to the 100k which can be gone in an instant if the bank decides that you are behaving according to abnomal patterns which could be as stupid as flying to Colombia for a vacation and having a good time over there in the many establishments offering a good time for guys.

Also banks hate it when you spend it and try every possible move to prevent you from doing so.

Maybe I am alone in this but I will start paying much more attention to stuff (both material stuff and experiences) and the funnel to get stuff close to the source and hence get a much better deal for it. What I'd be doing less and less is blindly plowing ahead with vulgar accumulation, because said accumulated money is not yours and can be taken away from you at any time

This could be very well be an extension to what already happens with food and water whose consumption is very much just-in-time as opposed to accumulation for long periods of time

Money could very well follow this trend and the goal could be having just enough to get through tomorrow and trying to get the best deal on purchases from now to then , knowing that tomorrow another inflow would arrive and the process would repeat itself over and over again.

Hence they should be treated with the same level of skepticism of a politician making a false promise just to get elected, actually more skepticism because the vaporware announcement starts making money from the CEO/Founder the second after they make it

According to your experience is there any lobby where something a bit more spontaneous can spur?

Even not solely confined to the startup world , but more in general in the niche of hustling to make money to blow on discretionary spending.

Kinda like a blackhatworld.com that spurs spontaneously from playing a game online with likeminded people

Now with vibe-coding my choice has been vindicated.

On the other hand I have Spanish, Italian and a bit of Portuguese under my belt and contrary to coding no matter how much technology and AI advances... real time translators that will be developed will always look uncanny in the eyes of an other human.

Bezos is right, things are either contracting or expanding...the saving and conserving energy to extend the runaway will only lead those who do to perverted and depressed outcomes.

Such as this monstruosity

Vilipendium should be the Latin word for it.

I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn if you believe that when you bet on the stock market or on the sports market for each and every particular bet involving millions of people the maximum profit is not reaped by a half a dozen of insiders who trade on inside informations and their only problem is not being too obvious about it.

Also even if they get caught the millions of people wagering are still getting fucked because there is not a redo or making people whole when the insider traders get caught (which is a tiny percentage of the time)

Palantir leadership has a long history of needing to be cruel and antisocial in a very loud way in order to feel alive .

Where are the ginormous protests that happened during the Iraq invasion?

Me thinks it was not about right or wrong but fear of a new Vietnam type draft.

Now that war has changed there are not similar type of protests because it's the missiles and drones doing the killing

I think they don’t have an argument because technically the missile can be de-activated up until the last seconds before it reaches its intended target

Still it feels surreal to argue about these things , bomb dropping on humans and other humans attacking each other for the privilege to have their bet honored on when said bombs dropped on the other side of the world

I guess people in intelligence communities had these sort of bets going on ever since WW2 and Vietnam , but still it’s uncanny to see it widespread to potentially the whole population of the internet

Boots on the ground can happen at any time if Iran manages to either hit one of the thousands of US assets in the region or worse they resort to terrorism with a theatrical attack like 9/11 which ended up costing so many lives , money and freedoms ranging from TSA literally up your ass to the destruction of privacy online and offline…..and of course as we all know boots on the ground

Now let's wait for the retaliation of 'Team Orange Dictatorship'

I'd rather not...
