Yeah … no

… Iraq worked out so well.

… it’s about freeing the people from tyranny see above.
… it’s about making sure a rogue country isn’t nuclear capable read headlines and what the president of the USA announced last time they did this.
… it’s about the oil … read history.

Desktop Commander is ‘The 💣’ … 🤯 .. literally … thank you Claude.
This is stuff I would never have previously attempted - and definitely would never have paid anyone else to do either.
A Zurich court is expected to rule on the case in March. Whatever the outcome, Palantir has already lost the only contest that matters: the one for public perception. For a company that sells the ability to see around corners, they apparently never thought to search “The Streisand Effect.”

.. I can’t sign it - but maybe you can?
Congratulations on saying the biggest number, Paramount. $111B for a company that a year ago had a market cap of around $20B. For a company that shrunk in their most recent quarter, and in fact, for the entire year, with revenue down 5% to $37.3B. Paramount may not be buying the Titanic, but only because they already own that IP.
I wrote yesterday that I’d give you the links …
If you prefer reading - 🔗 My Dinner with Jeffrey - by Douglas Rushkoff - but really - though I am a ‘read first - listen maybe’ kinda guy - listen.
Suddenly I have the lens where it all makes perfect sense. Sad - but finally …
When I diagram I often default to circle and spirals and avoid triangles.
Maybe I have unknowingly been channeling my inner Omoiyari❓
I will share the links tomorrow - but in the meantime you can do no worse than jumping on your podcast player of choice looking up the latest release of Ed Zitron and Douglas Rushkoff. Totally seperate - not connected - other than I loved them both. Go. See you tomorrow.
🔗 LLMs Generate Predictable Passwords - Schneier on Security
Password generation seems precisely the thing that LLMs shouldn’t be good at. But if AI agents are doing things autonomously, they will be creating accounts. So this is a problem.
We’re screwed aren’t we?
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Spring is sprung

👁️ I like current … but I get annoyed that it doesn’t share its repository with my other reader … s (it’s a sickness) … I think I might have to split my rss sources into two.
I think Veroni ar double counting … isn’t X and Pornhub the same thing❓
💬 Today’s Readwise is a Full House ….
‘AI speakers’ are the new input devices.
Everybody will measure how good they are by how good the AI is.
Nobody will ask how the good the speaker is.
Why is an inout device called a speaker?
🔗 How close are we to a vision for 2010?
What strikes me most about the possible futures discussed isn’t their optimism nor their missteps - it’s that most of these things could be possible today if there were sufficient open standards which the public and private sector adopted.
➕
Anyone who has read “The Entrepreneurial State” knows that these things take significant public investment. We’ve reached a point where the private sector has generated wealth from previous public research, but seems unwilling to invest in any long-term research itself. That’s short-changing our future.
