Of course you think that about AI. You're a first year swe, you were reading some LessWrong bs -- Yud probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next week when you read some e/acc tweets and then it's gonna be all about how AI is going to bring us utopian post-scarcity

I know everybody under 40 is uncomfortable with this language, but cops have the authority to make demands of you that are backed by the implicit threat of violence. You don't get to argue or disagree or say no or choose not to follow their orders. They are literally orders.

@krishnanrohit Lehman brothers was also never insolvent, it’s assets were just too illiquid to serve as collateral for loans to meet their short term liabilities. But the problem is, for a highly leveraged financial institution, that is also a failure condition
