    I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

    I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

    Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

    Why do we limit the power of ebikes, but not the power of cars?
    Why do we build roads without consultation, but cycle lanes need endless trials and consultations?
    Why do we limit the assist speed of ebikes, but cars have no max speed limiters

    I do feel like a dirty YouTuber jumping on the ‘trend’ with Mr McKinnon but daaaamn. The video is doing well ha.

    I won’t make a habit of it. It doesn’t really offer much value to anyone, but sometimes it’s nice to get an ‘easy’ win.

    Take the win!

    But also, does he really edit his own videos still? I would have assumed he had hired that out long ago by now.

    When I apply for a mortgage at my Woke Bank, they don't ask for any of the typical financial information that other banks seek out. They just give you a quiz about the history of redlining. If you pass, mortgage!

    Oof. Sounds like a terrible game.
    So maybe not even related to NBC? Just people trying to get SEO juice by linking to them? I don't get the rules of this gross house of cards.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah, I think the idea is to clone articles on popular topics from major new sites, and send them all pingbacks to get the back-links to boost the ranking of the spam site. SEO can DIAF.

    Good lord.

    I did one quick chat for an NBC news piece and they linked to my website.

    Now my WebMentions are a dumpster fire - filled with all their crappy, low-quality syndicated copies of the article.

    Counted 38 bunk domains all pointing back to the canonical NBC domain
    Aaron Parecki
    also fwiw, that kind of spam usually comes in via pingback, so you can just not include the pingback tag to webmention.io and accept only webmentions instead

    What's very weird about those two examples, is both websites are now something totally different and those blog posts are gone. I think it's part of an SEO scam game of some sort.

    It’s tricky for a flight attendant to know anyone’s preferences without asking though! And both M’am and Sir feel antiquated. So they should just use the gender-neutral term for someone who opens VSC on a plane: “Babe.”

    Investors in the banks will not be protected.

    They knowingly took a risk, and when risks don’t pay off, investors lose their money.

    That’s how capitalism works.

    These billionaire VC's started a bank run on their own bank and then *immediately* pivoted to screaming for a government backstop. Incredible stuff.
