Startup idea: open air market for exotic meats across the street from Anthropic’s wet lab

A little cabin, a quiet river, and a fire pit.
That's pretty much the whole plan.
No big outdoor kitchen or fancy landscaping. Just a few chairs and a good spot to sit by the water.

One reason Yemen is so impoverished is roughly 80% of the male population is addicted to Khat. They're high almost all the time.
September surprise?
BREAKING: Iran has issued "Code 100," its highest alert level, for all armed forces in the past hour, covering the IRGC, the Army and security forces, per initial reports.
Trump cut short his weekend at Camp David to return to the White House tonight citing the potential for significant escalation, Netanyahu cut short his US trip to return to Israel the same day, and every US embassy in the Middle East has issued a security alert in the past hours.
An oil shock is basically an extra tax on everything. It reduces demand and lowers economic output. It harms the labor market and reduces profits. It pisses everyone off.
So given that backdrop, the Federal Reserve just hiked interest rates into all this.

The quickest way out of this mess is a 30-50% stock market correction. This is the only thing Trump would actually respond to and why he’s desperate to keep the AI clown circus going.
- Ends the war
- Lower rates, oil and CPI
- Minimal impact to most Americans
We can do this.
This is why demographics are collapsing in advanced economies

Trump can rename AI all he wants, that won’t change the fact that it’s not intelligent. It doesn’t know what it’s saying, has no internal monologue, can’t reason and can’t develop an original thought. I don’t know what you call it. It’s definitely not artificially intelligent.
Tobias Maximus retweeted
It’s very clear Trump is convinced that absent a rapid AI buildout, the economy will collapse
Now we know Trump has never used an AI chatbot before
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP
Twitter is having a collective mental breakdown tonight. Everyone needs to calm down. The sun will rise tomorrow.

You've missed the entire point of my tweet.
There won't be a war with NATO because NATO won't exist.
Putin will probably attack one of the Baltic countries with drone warfare, NATO won't respond, then the whole thing falls apart.
The NATO countries that decide to respond and commit resources to a war against Russia will swiftly be voted out by their own citizens who are sick to death of funding corrupt boomer governments who do nothing but warmonger and steal from them.
The chess positions are being moved around the board and everyone is still assuming the old assumptions apply - they don't.
US is pulling troops from Europe - it's done protecting a bunch of degrowth left wing morons who don't even have energy security nor defence.
Europe is fucked. It's a holiday destination for rich people that produces nothing.
Replying to @rationalaussie
Russia is still struggling to achieve its aims against Ukraine after 4+ years. hence super curious where you think it suddenly even finds the spare tanks for a war with NATO (while the Ukraine war continues)?

At this rate, Anthropic employees will be talking about time travel by next week. The multiverse by October.
Seattle is on sale
Seattle sellers just flooded the market with a record 531 homes in one week, and buyers are walking away. People don’t realize how bad this is for the market. seattlered.com/housing/seatt…
