AS always where there is a need the mob comes in to fill the artifical scarcity created by the government and it's worse.
It's about time we legalize physical and online casinos.
Hopefully that communist who is about to be elected in NYC won't stop the new 5 billion Citi FIeld Casino. It should have been a 12bn dollar Wynn casino in Hudson Yards but anyways...a smaller one is better than none at all.
Poker (and chess for money) and also golf for money will also become the only game in town for us to do and not go completely crazy if AGI does indeed takes off and makes us live without having to work until 120
another part is thankful that he is there as a proof that you can get to a high status and high relevance role in society and still mantain your humanity, your inner child alive, not being robotic and just have a blast doing whatever the f you want.
There is no point getting to the top if you then lose all your humanity and playfulness.
Like if the condition to become President were to become a robot like Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, thanks no, I pass....Trump on the other hand is the best of both worlds.
He's sending people to concentration camps & bombing boats in the Caribbean and Pacific. He's deported American children. Treatment of asylum seekers, treatment of immigrant's children, wanton discrimination against minority groups…
I mean, did Kim Jong Un not qualify for this role to you? Or is that one actually horrifying and you put up some arbitrary distinction because... Trump?
> > How can we live life without enriching billionaires?
We should open the LLCs registries so that when they have to actually spend the money the seller can know that they are loaded and ask them for 1000x the price.
I know it seems like something out of a Banana Republic but when Musk or Bezos Gulfstream G800 is approaching to land it seems crazy to me that Tower doesn't shoot its shot and keep them in air indefinetly until they send a wire through.
When I say tower I mean both the airport infrastructure as a whole as well as individual Air Traffic Controllers.
Every worker these people encounter during their lives should shoot their shot because one successful "blackmail" could make them set for life and unlike the employees at the multi trillion dollar corproation they presede a say ATC is a unique point of authority who holds power over the billionaire at that determinate moment
Same with cops etc.
See interaction between Ellison and cop in Hawaii :
With open LLCs registry people could be effectively able to check the ownership of every credit card and adjust the price of every good and service according to the pockets of the person or entity buying it
Yes! I mean the President is only important because people devolve 99% of the time they spend of politics to National politics whereas they should be focused on County and City level which has the most impact on their lives.
A street becoming a one way street or a replanning might not be as sexy as what happens at the National Level especially with Trump in the WH (and in the past Clinton) but it actually has an impact on people's lives and it gives people impacted a relatively high capability of influencing what happens compared to National politics which is the equivalent of urinating in the ocean
Trump will never win, nobody who floods the zone with a low signal/noise ratio will ever win this prize or any of the 'elite' prizes.
The low signal/noise ratio people are at best perceived as 'communicators' more often jesters.
If anything the anomaly of the social media era is that people who put themselves out there as low signal/noise ratio character are even taken seriously at all.
Prizes like that are given to people who are perceived to be special, the more you talk and yap the more you give people an opportunity to realize how NOT special you are and how NOT special your character is.
Peter Grant did it best with his clients Led Zeppelin back in the days, keeping them in the dark before and after the 3.5 hour shows.
> > Infact if OpenAI don't find a profitable use for them then both their stock price, and AMD's will go down.
In theory yes but OpenAI doesn't have a stock and in the word of AntiChrist Peter Thiel : "We only have AI, there is nothing else out there except for AI" so with the belief still strong to carry at least up until GPT 7 OpenAI will find ways to present itself to the world as capable of putting to use the AMD GPUs and AMD will benefit from it.
And honestly the anti Christ is right. Vibe coding is already bigger than self driving cars, the metaverse and all that stuff that emerged during covid
Imagine if the answer to the Fermi paradox ends up being not "they destroyed themselves through war" but "they destroyed themselves trying to find meaning in money and fake thinking machines".
This makes me think that executives in the manufacturing sector should be paid in kind AKA in product, if that is the hot stuff that they claim they'd have zero problems selling the product on the secondary market and collect dollars
Gambling on aggregators and platforms is bad because you are the new kid on the block betting against experts, people with enormous computing power and of course win or lose you have to give a cut to the aggregator or the platform.
Gambling and betting should be 1v1 , as soon as you introduce a pool or an aggregator the wise advice is to stay away if such pool or aggregator has more than say a certain amount of bettors (100k-1M), because you become the new kid on the block and the new kid on the block gets skinned.
Thing is the implication of all the above is that we should stay away from every stock market and that would be quite right considering how it produces such loopsided outcomes, not unlike the gambling platforms or even worse
Stock exchanges are not themselves anything like a casino. You can bet within them in similar ways, but you can also make bets at a stock exchange that you would never find at a casino.
