One day we’ll have AI agents who will borrow your bank details, buy and download a digital copy for you, then play it it the start menu… All in a split second.

Unless you pay a daily subscription fee to prevent it.

Trump is having trouble with Mearsheimer’s blob.

No longer a populist Authoritarian.

The profit motive, price gouging, and auctions are all inflationary. They raise prices.

As governments fall in love with these things and care less and less about fair prices, price competition, and price regulation - you’re going to see more inflation (being ripped off = dollar’s buying power shrinks, being protected against that = buying power grows).

When companies decide they just need a few high end customers to sell a premium products to, rather than compete for the majority of the market - you’re going to see inflation.

Capitalism is inflationary.

Thanks!

Which IDEs?

Okay, and I have to shit one out?

Leftists don’t have to hate leftists. We could learn to celebrate each other.

Meybe dey dum s’all I sayin.

The Chinese United Front are testing a series of backbone organizations and assets for readiness. The final attack will coincide with major world events and obscure readiness and communications.

This will be done via disconnecting several relates levels of internet functionality so that even their repair measure will still seem unresolved. They will reconfigure and retry, unaware that their problem is solved, it’s the other levels/locations of the internet’s function that are still broken (so can’t be tested against).

This will provide extended cover that could last days or weeks. So far testing of this plan has been going well.

One of the other Australian Supermarkets, Coles, uses Palantir’s systems of facial recognition to keep a database of what shoppers buy. Which is creepy.

Not sure digital currency could perform all the functions of being a reserve currency, such as being readily fungible, untracked, and easily physically transported. I mean, two people bribing their way out of a war zone, or just a widely recognized currency sitting in a go-bag, these were some of the usages the USD took up, due to people knowing it was widely accepted.

Also, I don’t know if defaults would be enough to stop that, as the currency is usually backed by the US giving a black eye to anyone small enough who tries to trade oil in something else.

But I accept that these days these are marginal circumstances, trade and oil deals are done in other currencies in some places.

My thinking on this is probably out of date. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

An unorganised switch in reserve currency may see China attempting to compete to be the reserve currency. If things go poorly and the American economy suffers in a much more extreme fashion a much more hard-line form of fascism (harder than the Trump regime) may crop up with the ensuing economic discontent.

Or perhaps a form of Socialism. Either way it’s likely to be single party and authoritarian.

1. store thats shit in a bank’s vault, immediately.

2. move properties, because that one is gonna be burgled whether the gold is still in the premises or not.

A cloud storage company shouldn’t need to “compute” anything, it should already know where the data is, or is going.

That they could detect. The actual number is probably a little higher.

Oh no, Windows 10 won’t get updates from their vibe coding era!

As long as the art schools keep their entry standards low we’ll be fine.
