Bring back the NFTs

[Andrea B]

Not no, but HELL NO.

[Mik]

What could go wrong?

[jon-nyc]

How about I upload a couple of spreadsheets instead?

[Axtremus]

It’s for people who can’t spreadsheet.

[jon-nyc]

They can upload their statements in pdf format

ChatGPT’s take:

[Axtremus]

Yeap, I figured it would be "read-only."
Question is who enforces that "read-only" restriction -- is it your banks/brokerages, Plaid the middle layer, or ChatGPT's self-policing? How comfortable one feels about using the new feature may depend on this.

[Mik]

@Axtremus they can learn. It’s not that tough.

If they can’t learn it they likely have little chance of success at managing their own accounts.

Which is why AI may do it better for them.

I vibe coded for the first time the other day. @mark it was... awesome. What a world we live in. And to think I used to build websites from a blank HTML file in 2005.

Does AI have fiduciary duties like an investment counselor? Good luck suing the AI company for bad advice.

Okay. Explain like I am a little kid. I have seen that term "vibe code" before. Is it a specific computer language or something different from other coding?

If you're on your computer, you open up a window (like powershell) but think of it like a google prompt and you can just talk to it about what you want it to build. It builds it and then you can ask for changes. There's like 5-10 min to set it up and an account, but even at the start of it you can say "pretend I've never coded before and I'm in 7th grade" and it'll reply to you accordingly.

TLDR: You can just type or talk to a prompt and it'll build you a functional software product like a website.

AI generated feature length (90 minutes) movie that came out of China:

I can still tell it's AI-generated, but as I watched it I also had many moments of "I can't believe this is AI-generated!"

Some one used AI to analyze the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026.

The entire article (most of which dedicated to technology talk) is here https://shipitclean.com/news/congress-scanner

But the output is here: Download the full NDAA FY2026 scan results (DOCX)

What the scan produces

A section-by-section breakdown of the entire bill in plain English. What each provision actually does. Who benefits. Who pays. How provisions scattered across 1,260 pages interact with each other. Every finding is color-coded by impact on the average citizen:

Green -- directly helps citizens. Red -- directly hurts citizens. Yellow -- mixed or uncertain. Blue -- worth knowing. Gray -- procedural.

Cross-references that a human analyst would need weeks to map. Cross-references that no existing AI tool can make because they either cannot fit the document or cannot connect the pieces once they chunk it.

Define the problem, and AI will propose a cure. The problem with humans is that they see a problem and want to know why it's not fixed. I guess AI will become the bad guy for that.
