The bubble is growing over time. It will have a more severe impact in two years than it would if it happened tomorrow.

My take away was that the protagonists were too caught up in being the protagonists and the outcome would have been better if they had just done nothing.

Which just isn’t a very good adventure story.

The main issue is that increasingly AI companies are making up a big portion of index funds which are required by law to be purchased by mutual fund managers and thus part of retirement accounts, so value will be evaporated out of retirees accounts. The larger the bubble the more the impact.
Also note that the only reason the US is not in recession right now is due to AI market “growth” so the GDP correction that follows will cause companies who have invested in the technology (not just AI companies, but most of the Fortune 500) to contract. The fallout will be unpredictable, but the most likely scenario is layoffs. Further, the Fed will be reluctant to cut interest rates, because inflation is extremely high due to tariffs, so the one lever the government has to stave off the recession has been compromised by the current administration. So the recession will be deeper and worse with a longer recovery than it would otherwise have.

So why care? Because grandma’s retirement will disappear, a bunch of people will be laid off and the levers available to mitigate the impact have already been pulled. Oh and inflation will get worse when our government bails out AI tech bros to the tune of $1T.

While I am not cheering for the bubble to pop, the longer it goes on the worse it will be so the sooner it happens the better.

Orca are not uncommon in the waters near me. I was in a relatively large boat so I felt quite secure, but if I were swimming or in a kayak it would have been terrifying even knowing that they don’t attack humans. They are huge and hunt in packs and are intensely curious so sometimes approach to investigate things.

Harbor seals are all over and sun themselves on the docks where my uncle lives. Cute but big and smelly. My poor uncle has to clean up after them. It’s always cool to see them but definitely not scary.

I was raised around wildlife and instilled with a deep respect for nature, that these creatures are best left to live their lives and enjoyed at a distance.

This has been expected for at least 10 years. I still have a ton of pots lines though. Mostly alarms and scada, which should really be on wireless at this point.

Orca and seals, though they aren’t aggressive to humans of course. Coyotes and bears on land. The latter at a distance, which was both of our preference.

I can only speak for myself.

For me, it’s about harm reduction so not being perfect is OK with me as long as I’m trying. Now personally, that means if my cousin gives me eggs from her spoiled hens, that’s probably OK, but I don’t eat egg dishes when i go out (but paradoxically, I will eat a bun that has egg in it if there is not an alternative).

I eat cheese occasionally, but not if it has animal rennet in it. I rarely drink, but avoid clarified wines since they use isenglass in the processing.
I don’t eat gelatin or meat stocks or bullion. I also avoid leather in my clothing and prefer plant-based clothes over wools.

I limit my dairy, not just for moral and environmental reasons but also since my tolerance for it has diminished with age. Before I went veggie I would drink a gallon of whole milk every week. When I stopped I felt so much better, my acne cleared up, my hair got less oily and my intestines were way happier with me.

I also take B12 supplements because I will often go long periods without having any animal products in my food.

The meaning of the idiom is remarkably clear in English. I propose we adopt this one.

It might be best to connect it to a network that just blackholes the traffic so it doesn’t go hunting for some open wifi.

Recording without consent is very much a crime in any two-party state, but my guess is that the TOS that people click past to use the TV gives them permission to record you. If it didn’t, they would be in big legal hot water.

Staunch? I am constantly reevaluating my positions; considering new data or hypotheticals to challenge them or debating them with myself to make sure they are worthy of me holding them.

I think the ability to adapt one’s viewpoint to the addition of new information is a hallmark of maturity. It does depend on the ability to critically evaluate information, though, which is fallible in any human.

Bro nod and a howdy or evenin’ are what I usually go with. I am usually walking with my husband though (we are both dudes) and my guy is scary-looking so if someone (man, woman or other) crosses to avoid us I fully understand and respect the situational awareness.

Would have been a better marketing campaign than what it had.

I liked Crystal Pepsi. I am the only person I have ever met who did.

Occupation does not automatically disqualify you unless your work connects you to the case in question, but some occupations are not going to make it through voir dire. Keep in mind that you might be sitting on a jury in a civil case. Rather famously, Barack Obama was summoned (after his presidency) and he went, but was dismissed by random draw.

Keep at it! I didn’t even beat the tutorial until I had around 70 hours and 105 attempts.

Not counting rare ones that are from brand new DLC, this is my rarest (Stellaris).

With another rare from a different space 4x game (Endless Space 2):

Edit to add the one I am the most happy with (Noita):

Yes, “escaped containment” on a system with an internet connection. I wonder what Hugging Face thinks about a partner targeting them indiscriminately.

It would be a lot cheaper and easier to just stop burning fossil fuels. We could just take the money for this and invest in renewables.
