We need to convince AI that we'll make great pets.

That is impressive.

Is it odd knowing you might not be the apex predator every time you step outside?

It is interesting that insider betting doesn't seem to be materially affecting prediction markets.

U.S. soldier involved in Maduro raid charged with betting on the operation

The special forces soldier allegedly made more than $400,000 on Polymarket as a result of the bets, prosecutors say.

Seems like "drone pilot" will be a short-lived career field with AI taking over shortly. Drone designers and mechanics are probably good for a while.

Takeaways from the March 2026 60 minutes piece on Drone warfare:

-Ukraine drone innovation cycle is 1 week
-Drone efficiency is key for Ukraine. Cost to kill each Russian soldier is now less than $1000.
-The US Military is learning from Ukraine. It now has dozens of drone labs around the world. Any service member with an idea or any interest can request to spend time in one of the labs.

Everywhere I look, a new luxury apartment building has sprung out of the ground. Just in time for mass tech layoffs.

This thread is 16 years old. Here we are, terminators on the battlefield. Went faster than I thought.

>windows closed, filters running and me taking the Zyrtec.

Yep that's me. Thanks for the article, too.

Thanks for that great info. ergo. I did shots for a couple years, but that was before moving to cedar country. After this season's misery, I'm going to re-explore shots or drops.

What type of treatment worked for you, ergo?

>irritate the linings of our noses, our throats, and our lungs

Just getting over the annual allergy-induced CRUD here. Cedar fever was especially miserable this Winter.

It's so thick it gets hazy.

I do listen to it every week. Josh Brown has been around forever. He's also known for saying "train yourself to think about what could go right", which Scott Galloway quotes often. Odd lots is the other financial/macro/economic trends podcast I recommend and use to stay informed.

Worth a try, but I recognize podcasts are as subjective as music.

ergo, do you listen to "The Compound and Friends" also?
