“the ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”

Shooting in Bondi Beach breaks news at 09:10 UTC, a fake news website is spun up naming the hero that disarmed one of the gunman at 09:33 UTC, just 23 minutes later.

You can see a variety of bots posting the story, often times not even the full article URL, just the link to the website lol

Of course AI isn't necessary to create a fake news site, but it definitely speeds up the process for someone who's non-technical to create a convincing looking news site and get it out quickly to create a narrative.

Every link on the site goes back to another fake article, none of the "about us" or "contact" pages have been created. There's a sign-in button that goes to a Vercel 404 page

The article claims to have spoken to his coworkers already, and mentions that he's already raised $500 (USD??) for a gofundme. No such gofundme exists, and it's unlikely that one would have been setup given the recency of the event.

I think this is a prominent example of AI slop disinformation. Following the Bondi Beach shooting, the man who stopped one of the gunman has not yet been officially named, yet there's a link to a "news" website that's naming the hero.

You know if these fail sons had one iota of agency they'd be ruining the family business. Loaning your son $100k to gamble on Bulgarian F1 crypto betting sites is damage control.

If you're a real VC, you have to follow some legal rules, file some paperwork, and you know, actually build a product. If you're a Web3 investor, none of it matters, you can make up anything you want. Fudge the numbers, go crazy, buy $PISS coin and rug pull it, who cares.

You're not unemployed, you're an "angel investor in the ETH community" you're a "builder". I've met a couple of these people IRL, very clearly being fleeced by their co-founders to get as much money out of them to fund their lifestyles.

If your dad thinks that you're a failure for not launching your own business, and you're 35. Just tell him that you're starting a "facebook for web3" he won't know what that means. Take 100k of his money as startup capital and blow it on shit coins, NFTs, and trips to Malta

I never really appreciated the crypto world. People say it has no utility. When in reality it has an important social function: It's a day care for the fail sons with rich parents.

I'm always fascinated by the midwits who talk to Grok too much and are convinced that they've developed a new type of math or something

Ladies - is your partner using terms like "bullish", "value prop" or "covered calls"? Does your partner have an alarm set for the Fed call? Does your partner have a copy of "The Intelligent Investor" that he uses as a door stop?

Not that I would regularly recommend taking out a Personal loan, but if your Student loans are more than 10% interest and you aren't taking advantage of any of the income-based repayment or deferrals, then maybe getting a personal loan (based on your credit score obv) works

he doesn't know that I'm the founder of GrandmaGPT
many people in tech have been one-shotted by science fiction. you think there will be data centers in space? you think we’re going to build a Dyson Sphere anytime soon? you think you’re going to have a digital twin of your deceased loved ones or yourself? live on another planet?

People who have accomplished everyone else’s dreams — billions of dollars of wealth, becoming a pop star, etc — themselves want nothing more than to post online and have people like and respect their posting abilities
