As I read this it occurred to me that it equally could be applied to AI which, if you think about it, represent an LLM of all the books ever written. However, if you don't understand how a subject truly works just gives you at best a surface knowledge which in Taleb's words would probably make you fragile.

Haven't commented on the Jed York situation mostly because it just seems sordid. Besides what if he sought out prostitutes in East Palestine Ohio because he was subjected to power lines for too long?

The NFL regular season is almost upon us and honestly with the prices of game tickets, parking, beer and snacks at the stadium - going to a home game is getting beyond the reach of the average family. This is why watching at home or out at a bar is becoming more and more important. It's also may be the NFL pricing themselves out of attracting future generations of fans.

The current hysteria over AI and datacenters makes me think of the past hysteria over Amazon and how NYC was chosen to be the new East Coast hub but AOC used that hysteria to get Amazon to take their thousands of jobs elsewhere instead. Now NYC got communism. It's all related.

The price of beef has risen through the roof since Covid but between the cattle farmers and the grocery stores selling beef to US families are the processing plants that are acting as middlemen perhaps not taking the blame for their role in inflated prices?

- Scott Bessent has "very discreet plan" to reduce $40 trillion national debt, Vance says. Call me old fashioned but I'd be happy with a balanced federal budget and lower interest rates.
- Sadly this seems to be the plan for dealing with the national debt since I've been alive.
- Guidelines for being an adult. Disagree with some of the fashion advice but good list.

Sorry to be a Debbie downer talking about the national debt passing $40 trillion and Gen Z officially being the first generation less smart than their parents IQ wise. On the bight side - I'm older and won't have to deal with these issues. Then I start to wonder if it's this sort of attitude that got us into the problem in the first place.

Some preseason college football observations. One has to wonder if Nate Bargatze becomes to Vanderbilt what Shane Gillis became to Notre Dame. If so - what comedian is next? Does Will Ferrell and USC get grandfathered into this?
Was having these observations anyway and figured may as well jot them down and put on Substack.

The strait of Hormuz remains open with oil reportedly flowing through at pre-war levels and the US has opened up all that oil from Venezuela but gas prices at the pump remain above $4 a gallon. Is this an example of producers just trying to see what people are willing to pay? As an oil producing nation once again under President Trump is this a net positive for the US economy? So many questions.
