I got this feeling that the bull market in general is topping and winter is coming.

After 2008 the government bailed out some banks with tax money. I think that somewhere in future the US government might bail out the biggest tech companies when the AI bubble bursts, because of "national security". Thoughts?

these kind of actions are (albeit ethically tricky or straightforward unethical?) important, as it pushes surveillance into public discord.

Signal is finally being adopted by mainstream. Same will happen to nostr in a couple of years.

Even after all the drama lately Qubic still has practically 33% of the hashing power... I'm no expert, but this would bother me if I owned Monero. (This also bothers me with the mining centralisation with bitcoin btw).

“Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger"

The city of Deir Ezzor straddles the Euphrates River in eastern Syria and still lies in ruins from 14 years of civil war. It is now split along the waterway between the new Damascus government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Kurdish-led forces.

Since AI I don't hear anybody speaking about the huge energy need of bitcoin mining. Skewed morality on display.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski says he is "sure" that Russian drones flying into Poland were "planned", after Nato and Polish aircraft shot down drones that entered its airspace during overnight attacks on Ukraine. Speaking to journalists, he says: "Russian drones have veered into Polish airspace before - not just drones but also cruise missiles." "When one or two drones does it, it is possible it was a technical malfunction. But there were 19 breaches and it simply defies imagination that is was accidental." He adds that the "mass use of drones is a threat to all of Nato" and "we need to create a drone wall", echoing earlier comments by EU President Ursula von der Leyen who also called for a drone wall.
