this story is loving wild https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1639020894663188482 quote:In 2017, Thiel married investment banker Matt Danzeisen. Thomas and Thiel eventually struck up a relationship in the early stages of the pandemic. But it wasn’t a typical relationship. Thomas described himself as being in a “kept” situation that made him uncomfortable. “It was stressful, he wanted me to get the nicest car, the nicest house. He wanted to kind of show his power, to kind of show that he had me in his dollhouse,” he said. “It’s not like I was his boyfriend, really, I was just kind of his friend that was there for him when he needed, you know, whatever he needed.” quote:Several of Thomas’s friends in Los Angeles said they often saw Thiel at Thomas’s home, and also saw Thomas at Thiel’s nearby home on Metz Place. (Unrelatedly, before Thomas moved in, the home was owned by leading figures in the bizarre NXIVM sex cult that was rolled up in 2021, according to property records.) quote:Thomas’s friends and family are sorting through the wreckage. “He didn’t talk much about Peter at all other than I knew he was living in a house owned by him,” said a longtime friend who knew him from Texas and also moved to Los Angeles. (Thiel does not own the property.) “I know that in November he had to leave that house, but he didn’t ever go into the details of his relationship with Peter.” quote:The Daily Mail has published at least four articles on Thomas’s death, though has not mentioned his relationship with Thiel. In one article, the paper quotes his agent speculating he may have fallen to his death taking a selfie, though the agent was not present and there is no evidence to corroborate that. Thomas’s friends hope the Miami police investigate his death thoroughly. I want to be clear: Peter Thiel had this guy killed.

hindenberg goin ham on block kinda fun https://hindenburgresearch.com/block/ lol at the video compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StjWk3Mj-M4 doubt this really goes anywhere since its not exactly shocking that a fintech company has inflated userbase numbers due to a massive fraudulent userbase, but funny details stock did go down 15% so i guess it did more than nothing, feel like hindenberg's longer-term plays have not usually worked out so wonder if they immediately cashed out lol abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Mar 23, 2023 |

I was listening to the Ezra Klein podcast and he had on an AI expert who just started making all these absurd claims about how AI was already being used to code better AI and all these weird fantasies out that sounded like a mix of a LessWrong post and a pitch deck for some scammy AI startup. So I finally paused the episode and looked at who this AI expert was, and it was just some reporter from Vox who happened to write about AI a lot. Klein is a bit notorious for getting rolled by any Silicon Valley huckster who he interviews when the subject of AI comes up, but now he's gotten worse and gotten someone else who was also rolled by hucksters and brought them on to be an "expert". The whole thing was such a poo poo-show that I'm strongly tempted to start a change.org petition: "New York Times, we demand that you prevent Ezra Klein from producing any content related to Artificial Intelligence until he has completed at least 2 college level linear algebra courses."

llm-based startups are basically the IT equivalent of dropshipping take a product that already exists, apply some spin and marketing, resell to rubes, pack up and leave before anyone has a chance to evaluate the quality of the product it's easy to see how idea-guy startup founders think this is the best poo poo since sliced bread: a perfect, spherical, frictionless path from idea to (mostly fake) mvp with an absolute minimum involvement from "developers" or "creatives"
