Because it either: Directly facilitates some fraud that they are trying to legitimize …or… They are trying to spend some of the perceived credibility of their stock market on legitimizing blockchain generally in the hope of facilitating some frauds that have nothing to do with their stock market.

Either way, it’s about fraud. It’s always, always fraud with anything blockchain related.

JFC, it’s difficult to imagine that soulless husk of a human having any sexual feelings at all.

It’s not a war. It’s a genocide.

The US is an unreliable partner in all aspects of diplomacy and economic trade. The fact that the UN has been structured in such a way that the organization cannot meaningfully check the US, is a poison pill that undermines its entire mission.

I like how the article doesn’t even attempt to communicate a potential benefit to doing this or any rationale for why this is useful or good at all. Of course, the real rationale is that it allows the administration to hand wave about being “innovative” without backing that assertion with any substance. It also allows the administration to apply some of the supposed legitimacy of the US government to this wholly pointless, fraud riddled joke of a technology. JFC, this is such a clown of a nation.

It’s just wild that Israel is permanently allowed to attack all of the nations in the region with both military and terroristic operations, without any meaningful pushback from the international community. It’s almost as outrageous as the fact that they’re allowed to also permanently occupy, oppress, torture, murder, displace, imprison, and genocide an entire population without any meaningful opposition from the international community.

This brings me a little bit of joy.

Kevin Rose can fuck right the hell off.

Start the countdown to Israeli officials and US media decrying hhhhhaaaammmmaaasssss’ unwillingness to negotiate or agree to terms and hence the need to bomb the rubble and children yet again.

This is the correct answer. And, they’ll do it so that it kicks in only for people younger than them.

You may be correct, but I suspect that by the time that we eventually achieve this technological goal, it will be more economically viable to plug it into robotic solutions that mostly take humans out of the loop for such industrial applications. I don’t think any of that is happening soon. I still don’t see a long term path for XR beyond some niche gaming and porn applications.

It’s remarkable that there continues to be investment in this UI form factor over such a long period of time, despite there being no evidence that there is a widespread market for this. The challenge to make this good is obviously very very high. I strongly suspect that the challenge of convincing people to adopt this form or computing in anything larger than a few niche use cases is even higher. As cool as this technology seems in theory, the fact is that people generally don’t need it and don’t want it. There will always be niche markets for this, and perhaps that’s enough to justify the continued investment. But, I hope investors aren’t fooling themselves into thinking that this is going to ever be common or widely adopted.

Don’t forget Israel / Lebanon, Israel / Iran, Israel / Syria, US / Yemen, and US / Iran.

There is also a selection bias at play here. I suspect that people who are more susceptible to manipulation are more likely to be religious.

GIF v. Jif

Rich pedophiles vs deluded fascists, enabled by ideological genociders. USA 2025.

What maga people don’t understand is that, when you’re rich, they just let you do it. That is literally the ethos of their patron saint on every level, for his entire life.

So, if this reporting is accurate, China is propping up Russia’s atrocities because it fears US aggression. So once again, US policy is fueling death and destruction somewhere in the world.

Fighting fascism, together.
