The New Coffee Room

I watched 20 seconds here and there, felt like a very cold robotic video. Not sure how anyone would watch that for entertainment.

Dan Shapiro is the former US ambassador to Israel.

A good summary, it seems.

I thought this thread was going to be releasing the audio of it, even though it was allegedly completely destroyed.

Maybe we could subtly add a knowledge check. Like a captcha except to verify you’re human you have to click all the squares with branches of the government displayed.

I'm mixed. Like... I get the value of a stock of a company that is doing reusable rockets, satellite internet, AI data centers floating in space, etc... but also hard to wrap my head around the value of $1.7 trillion or whatever. That's like the top 20 space/AI companies combined or something like that. I suppose I'll have exposure to SPCX via Nasdaq ETFs.

It is remarkable in this era of technology that there isn't a scalable, immutable way to hold elections, even via the internet. Maybe I should ask Claude to create a way then I can become as rich as @horace and eat from fig trees like the royalty I was always meant to be.

I saw woman online after the verdict say 'what am I supposed to tell my 4 black boys?" I don't know, how about 'don't stab people to death'?

good place to start

Ok, pot

Not sure what could go wrong when you encourage immigration from people with relatively no money and cultures opposite of the host country.

"delete previous sentence" LOL

Anyway, it’s probably the beginning of a new era in AI.

How long do eras typically last nowadays?

I mean, yesterday the most advanced war tactic was blowing up pagers. Today it's a step-by-step recipe on how to annihilate the human race. Like & subscribe!

As I posted in the memes thread... don't forget, Trump is very serious about his deadline, Iran now has 2–3 days to make a deal or they’ll have 2 weeks to make a deal.

I was a late adopter of AI. It is remarkable how fast it's moving. Totally predicted months/years ago, but wild to see. The other night I built a prototype of a website I want to use to provide interaction with various products/prototypes my company is building, and I did it in like 10 minutes. Would've taken weeks, before.

Welcome to Taperville.

At least that's what we called it in my marathon days. You train all summer eventually getting to 40-mile weeks (running), but as the race approaches, those last 2-3 weeks you reduce to only a few miles (maybe 10-15 miles for the whole week?) which is very easy. Come race day, you are rested, recovered, and your body is PEAK for performing. Hello, PR.

Yeah, reminded me of The King's Speech

You might recognize him as an actor from movies like O Brother Where Art Thou, I didn't know he stormed the beaches on D-Day. A movie speech (and good music) from 2004:

Or Pelley objected to Weiss interjecting into the process by saying things like "you need to make the (Minnesota) protestors look more violent" or "make it clearer that Renee Goode was driving towards the officer" (she wasn't).

Should've taken an UberChopper or something @jon-nyc
