  8. So, bullshit jobs is a thing. What about bullshit investments? After decades of supply side politics.

  9. Interesting and thought-provoking video, though it might seem a bit far-fetched. However, there are a lot of examples from history where something far-fetched became reality.

  10. “Gambling is a tax on ignorance”*…

    And as Einstein observed, “two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”

    Gambling– and related specualtive investments– have always been, for the vast majority of punters, a sucker’s bet. But, as Paul Kedrosky explains, the growing prevalence of AI and the emergence of prediction markets have amplified that painful reality…

    The return skew in prediction markets’ returns is startling. It is partly a function of their nature, but also of vibe-coding script kiddies attacking every market anomaly as quickly as it arises. Check a recent WSJ article for examples.

    The same dynamic is now spreading across retail-dominated markets. A driver is how AI lowers the cost of systematic exploitation and exploration to near zero. What used to require infrastructure, data pipelines, and bearded quants is now accessible via off-the-shelf models, APIs, and loosely stitched “agent” workflows doing … stuff that even their users don’t fully understand.

    The result isn’t democratization of returns. It is wider participation, of a sort, alongside the rapid re-concentration of profits. A small subset of users—those willing to iterate fastest, monitor continuously, and deploy capital programmatically—capture gains, with everyone else just liquidity.

    They scrape sentiment, parse new information, and reprice positions in seconds, compressing the half-life of mispricings. That doesn’t eliminate inefficiency, but changes who harvests it. The edge shifts from insight to speed, coverage, and execution discipline—areas where even modest automation compounds quickly, and edges disappear overnight.

    Prediction markets are simply the cleanest expression of this trend because they combine thin liquidity, discrete outcomes, and high retail participation. But the same pattern is visible in options flow, single-stock volatility events, and even online poker, which AI increasingly dominates.

    As AI tools continue to scale, expect this to get worse: a small cohort running semi-automated strategies extracting semi-consistent edge, and a much larger base supplying them returns. Under the pressure of AI prevalance, markets don’t flatten, the return gradient steepens to a cliff…

    Fewer and fewer winners take more and more of the pot. The mechanics of concentration: “AI is Eating Markets” from @paulkedrosky.com.

    As we contemplate concentration, we might note that today is Mother’s Day. As noted yesterday, the observance became official on that date in 1914. But the quest to honor moms began a good bit earlier. On this date in 1908, Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, the location of the International Mother’s Day Shrine. But her quest to create Mother’s Day had begun three years earlier when her mother Ann, a lifelong activist, died.

    Ann had tried to start a “Mother’s Remembrance Day” in the mid-19th century. On her passing, Anna enlisted the support of retailer extraordinaire John Wanamaker, who knew a merchandising opportunity when he saw one, and who hosted the first Mother’s Day ceremonies in his Philadelphia emporium’s auditorium. In 1912, Anna trademarked the phrases “second Sunday in May” and “Mother’s Day”, and created the Mother’s Day International Association. By 1914, she and Wanamaker had built sufficient support in Congress to score the Congressional Resolution noted yesterday. (President Wilson, who was by current accounts uninterested in the move– distracted as he was by the beginnings of his ultimately unsuccessful effort to keep the U.S. out of the troubles in Europe that became World War I– nonetheless knew better than to take a stand against moms.)

  12. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

  17. It's difficult to compare how opinions have shifted on #AI, but I'm courageous enough to offer an opinion that may be totally inaccurate. Look at an Ipsos survey from Dec 2024 and compare it to the more recent Angus Reid report. The questions aren't the same and the demographics don't line up. But it seems to me that less Canadians think AI will be a positive tool and more are concerned about it being a net negative.

  18. Did Ehud Barak’s Toka Spyware Edit The Losee Roof Video To Pin Charlie Kirk’s Murder On An Innocent Man?!

    We finally have the name of the weapon used to manufacture the “official narrative” of the Charlie Kirk assassination. It isn’t a firearm—it’s a Israeli dystopian hacking software called Toka.

    The Software:Co-founded by former Israeli PM Ehud Barak (the same man tied to Jeffrey Epstein), Toka is designed to infiltrate any connected camera system. Its specific “selling point” to intelligence agencies? The ability to edit video feeds in real-time or recorded history so seamlessly that forensic investigators can’t find a single digital fingerprint.

    The Frame-Up: For months, witnesses have insisted they saw the true “assassin” dressed in all black on the roof. Yet, the “official” footage released to the public showed a person they claim was Tyler Robinson. This is where the technology comes in:

    Digital Erasure: Toka allows operators to literally “brush out” an individual—like the assassin in black—and replace them with a background or a different figure entirely.

    Real-Time & Retrospective Editing: Experts have confirmed that the software can access any web-connected camera—including those in parking lots, hotels, and airports—and alter both live feeds and past recordings.

    Zero Digital Footprint: Unlike other spyware that leaves a “digital fingerprint,” Toka is designed to modify video pixels without leaving any telltale signs of a hack. This makes it impossible for forensic investigators to prove a video has been tampered with.

    “Ocean’s Eleven” Capabilities: Media outlets like Haaretz have compared the technology to the heist movie Ocean’s Eleven, where a live feed is diverted to a “mock” version of reality while the real event is happening undetected.

    This explains why the footage of “Tyler” on the Losee building rooftop is physically impossible. The figure has no shadow that matches the sun’s position. Why? Because the software is perfect at altering pixels, but it can’t account for the complex physics of light and shadow in a 3D space.

    Manufacturing the Narrative: If they can edit the past without leaving a trace, they can “place” Tyler on that roof at the exact moment they need him to be there to satisfy the mainstream media script.

    We are witnessing the birth of a new kind of lawfare: Digital Assassination. They don’t just kill the target; they use foreign-funded technology to frame the innocent and erase the guilty.

    The pixels are lying, but the physics don’t. It’s time to look past the “official” feed.

    Toka’s marketing literally promises to “save operators from exposure.” If a foreign-linked entity wanted to eliminate a political threat like Charlie Kirk while ensuring their operative was never seen, this is the exact tool they would use.

    A major flaw in the video above is the subject on the roof has no shadow. This provides credence that the Toka technology, which cannot do shadows, was used. ABN

  23. The day will come when AI can answer almost all of our questions

    The day will come when AI can answer almost all of our questions.

    I doubt it will be able to know on its own what questions we want to ask. In that respect, we will have knowledge or information AI does not have.

    AI will also not know what we humans are going to ask each other or say to each other. And only a human interlocutor can answer a subjective question we ask them about themself.

    Only humans have complex subjectivity which is difficult for us to figure out. AI may be able to help us with that to some degree.

    But how will it help us with the complex subjectivity that exists between two or more humans?

    With the help of some sort of brain monitoring device worn or embedded in a human, AI will have some calculable grasp on our subjectivity.

    Would it ever be good enough to be a substitute for a human companion?

    Is subjectivity anything else but confusion within the human system? Or is it a nonrational transient appraisal or measure of the system?

    Subjectivity can be beautiful, ugly, inspiring, boring, intriguing, illusory.

    FIML may wind up being the only thing humans can do that AI cannot do. ABN

    The day will come when AI can answer almost all of our questions.

    I doubt it will be able to know on its own what questions we want to ask. In that respect, we will have knowledge or information AI does not have.

    AI will also not know what we humans are going to ask each other or say to each other. And only a human interlocutor can answer a subjective question we ask them about themself.

    Only humans have complex subjectivity which is difficult for us to figure out. AI may be able to help us with that to some degree.

    But how will it help us with the complex subjectivity that exists between two or more humans?

    With the help of some sort of brain monitoring device worn or embedded in a human, AI will have some calculable grasp on our subjectivity.

    Would it ever be good enough to be a substitute for a human companion?

    Is subjectivity anything else but confusion within the human system? Or is it a nonrational transient appraisal or measure of the system?

    Subjectivity can be beautiful, ugly, inspiring, boring, intriguing, illusory.

    FIML may wind up being the only thing humans can do that AI cannot do. ABN

  30. Speculation as spectator sport

    A new book is out.
    Lost: Amelia Earhart’s Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life
    by Rachel Hartigan


    I found this review of the Hartigan book fascinating for reasons that apply to Earhart, but also to hundreds of “mystery” topics.

    It remarks on the speculation and searches that have been going on for decades that are fueled by the “chatter-driven, nonfactual celebrity culture”. It cites how “social media turned speculation into a participatory sport” – what I call “mass opinionation” because everyone feels obliged to add their uneducated and often puerile comment to the news story, weird image, or video. As with conspiracy ideas, mystery creatures, anomalies, etc., “the myth making process is now instantaneous”. The reasonable realistic explanation is brushed aside, ignored or challenged by people with little grasp of logic or nature. This is why we have absurd tales of Bigfoots in Ohio migrating away from a meteorite, dogman attacks, mass psychogenic illness events, belief in UAPs as extraordinary objects, et cetera, et cetera

    When I was publishing on Doubtful News from 2011 to 2016 or so, stories about finding Amelia Earhart’s plane came around at least once or twice a year. Often by the same group trying to drum up publicity for their dramatic, speculative claims. None of them were much more than press releases from those who were so obsessed with the topic that they were convinced they knew more than anyone else. Even today, news media that used to adequately serve the public fill their dockets with news taken from someone’s Facebook or Instagram post. Copy-pasting weird tales or someone’s fringe ideas isn’t news. Except now it is, which is disappointing and so frustrating.

    They never actually found Earhart’s plane. Maybe one day it will be found. (At least we know it ACTUALLY existed in the first place.) But as with other unsolved mysteries that likely have much more direct or simple explanations for which we haven’t yet found the missing pieces, the real story has been swamped by the media money-grab and mystery mongering.

  31. @nlnews Bc we, the Dutch are economical and stingy with money (my friends, not me) so we don’t pay for advise or brokers. We “can do investments ourselves”.
    What could possibly go wrong??
    The “regulator” is dangerously interfering in the market especially in these uncertain times.
