BESPOKE: βOn a 12-month average basis, .. Housing Starts have completely rolled over from their peak ..
β.. Recessions have always followed a rollover in Housing Starts, and the only question is timing.β πΊπΈ
I was pointing to a way tackle it. On AI - there is no going back. Just like with the steam engine, machinery in agriculture, etc. I don't get the toxic attitude. I guess you like the Twitter culture. Fine. Blocked.
For perspective, the federal service has not increased much in absolute numbers since 2000 and is actually down from the mid-1970s. Share of the total workforce has actually decreased steadily. And, basically offset by contractors. So, it's really largely a privatized government already.
Interesting data in light of current events. More about welfare queen Elon Musk: www.profgalloway.com/elon-musk-we...
Demographics of the Federal workforce.
How did Mark become the bad guy on this? The emotional responses are understandable but not helpful. We are just in the beginning of this transformation but it's moving fast. Citizens ought to work with elected officials to reshape the relationship between capital and labor/citizens. Time is short.
Tesla probably started a slow decline. Musk killing the brand and antagonizing primary market segment. It's even worse than bottom line numbers since about 25% of net income is appreciation of bitcoin. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/29/t...
I really enjoyed "1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows" by Ai Weiwei. It put the fundamental weakness of China on display.
You seem to be nice guy. But you are quoting Xi? Are you just drunk on the cool aid or intellectually subservient? Itβs silly. If you want to argue for the Chinese system, you can do better than quoting Xi. The capitalism youβre talking about can be gone in a heartbeat. Marxism comes first.
Why are you making it abt BYD v Tesla/Musk? Donβt hold back on the latter. Share bad stories! I am not a fan. My point is that itβs not a choice between BYD or Tesla - there are options. I would never buy a Chinese car. Period. My conscience, my choice.
There are many but here is one from Reuter. www.reuters.com/business/aut...
What do you mean? What about US factories? Plenty of other EV options than Chinese cars. Many in Europe and other Asian countries. I am hoping for Alfa Giulia EV.
Nah - better stay clear of BYD. Slave like conditions in Brazil factory, environmental issues at other factories, etc. And it doesnβt make a whole sense if you are concerned with Tesla being a Nazi mobile. China is a totalitarian regime.
Blue states should setup a Dept of Education when Musk close it down. The states need coordination on education and resources. Just recruit a good share of current staff. DC will be helpful to get office space. That will make it easy to resurrect it fully down the road.
#Tesla has turned radioactive for an important market segment. Itβs now a nazi mobile. Some news outlets have picked up on it but many analysts clueless. Next few months will tell how much. Let it die. stocks.apple.com/AWyzbyOrbRWm...
You are not a serious leader. This is just posturing. Help to find your successor.
No fight in the leadership. They need to find a Harry Reid. Schumer should have been replaced. Jeffries need to study AOC learn about clarity and urgency.
I wonder how long until #EU and the Commonwealth countries realize that a major leverage in #trade negotiations is to take away 30% of the #tesla market.
It would have an impact.
American oil production is forecasted to plateau over the next 2 years.
(Thatβs because producers donβt want to outpace demand, not because they need to be βunleashedβ.)
Accessing DeepSeek on Venice AI from an iPhone returns uncensored info about Tiananmen. Itβs not actually spitting it out but available when folding out βThinkingβ. Same prompt on a regular browser gives the censored response.
fun fact: if you ask DeepSeek (R17b) about the Tiananmen Square Massacre too many times you will absolutely break it π€
I guess we will leave the World Organization for Animal Health next.
we learn from it. Looks like using models to train a model. More analysis to figure out if any side effects. But thatβs not the issue here - you went for a false equivalence. Why go after a US AI company there? I am no fan of OpenAI or Altman, but it just doesnβt make sense.
1. That was the beginning. Final para below. And it would have been labeled and insurrection if the GOP and/or Bidenβs DOJ would have done their job.
2. China has a lot of innovation. That is not the issue. This seems to have been trained cheaper. Itβs important and we will study it. Hopefully
The post by Kelsey a bit silly. But the comments to his post are disturbing. Why this sympathy for the totalitarian Chinese regime? Many conversations on Bluesky on this subject turn to into false equivalencies.
Here is Claude. Why this sympathy for the totalitarian Chinese regime? Case in point. If you didnβt like ChatGPT, use something else like Claude. Not that option in China.
