Israel
About 2021/2022 timeframe political sociologists found we were back in the "Might is Right" mode of politics. Politics is like fashion, I guess, in that what's old is new again and trends cycle back around every few decades.

Israel vs everyone war thread
Serious question: If things truly are different and progress happens here, how much (if any at all) begrudging credit would you give to DOTARD? I ask also because, as I've shared in the past, my neighbor is a very wealthy older Palestinian man. And he while he doesn't loves Trump, he hated Biden. Seems a strange mix, but he's been in America for 30 years now and has houses in Portugal and Bangladesh and a couple here in the States so maybe he's one of those out of touch Palestinians, but talked to him this weekend and he was pretty complimentary towards Trump's role here and said that's exactly what the region needed, an aggressive force to come in and mix things up and force them to work it out.

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
All that said, this is an interesting graphic. Hard to guess if Nvidia will be the long term beneficiary of the AI Rush, but there should be zero question about the generational wealth they've created for a lot of their shareholders and stakeholders selling picks and shovels the last 5 years. Good for them, I say:

From what I can tell: everyone agrees we are in an AI bubble. The differences seem to be some see it as a productive bubble and others as an unproductive speculative bubble. The skeptics: GPUs depreciate quickly, there are no use cases, the business case sucks, we won't build the power The productive bubblers: Booms create infrastructure for the next era, Big Tech earnings are actually growing at a strong pace, AI players are largely using their own huge stockpiles of cash to invest in AI / Infrastructure / CapEx versus financing with debt (which is a big distinction in bubbles).

This. But lessons learned by the powers that be that the poor and innocent had suffer (time immemorial). I think the lessons are a) FAFO, you saw what happens when you 10/7-- you will get blasted into sand and your terrorist benefactors will catch these hands too b) Israel flying too close to the sun almost scorched themselves up, better be more buttoned up on the genocidal terror next time or else your whole regime is going to crash down and it's over for y'all. But otherwise, I think the best we can hope for at this juncture is we are now back in a pre-10/7 state of cold war / hostilities.

WTF is with hotel prices?
It's been a trend the last two years at least. I go to NYC 1 week every month. You can't get a big brand (Bonvoy, IHG, etc.) anywhere in the city (FiDi to as north as Hell's Kitchen) for less than $700/night. That's like lower end too (e.g. Courtyard, Holiday Inn) and up to $1400-1500 night for better properties. SF is the same.

These pitches and cuts feel like two heavyweights in the 12th just not even trying to finese and throwing haymakers in exhaustion.

Robinhood Prediction Market
I am completely underwater on all my prediction bets for Heisman's (go figure). I got in for Seattle winning the AL pennant @ $.15 @ 2500 shares. It's either gotta hit $.50 tonight and I'll make my money back or I'm out it all.

Good point. I only have my play money/gambling money (er. I mean prediction markets money) in RH.

Everyone talks about Don Jr. as the family succession in politics but I think Jared Kushner is the scary option. He's an operator's operator.

If you had $25k lying around and wanted to dump into a bet to double in 12 months, what would you do?
