  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk, built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.

  PayPal WILL create an invoice seemingly I could pay?? I wonder about the intersection with the bank's being the problem. How does it intersect with the merchant. So many cues signal actions that are not necessarily appropriate in how they intersect: number of hits does NOT necessarily translate into items PURCHASED for example but is recorded that way erroneously, because of that Shortcut.

  I just had a nice sit down conversation with Pramila Jayapal yesterday. It was nice and cordial and friendly and maybe the nicest, sweetest conversation I have ever had with a demonic communist "Hi Vanilla PayPal. Why are you a ******* evil, *****, satanic ******," I asked sweetly? "It's so much fun," Vanilla admitted. "The ***** part especially. Also, the evil part especially. Did I tell you I hate America?" "Every ******* day," I replied sweetly. "You're such a big piece of ****. I honestly can't recall ever seeing a bigger piece of **** than you. Does that come natural to you, or do you have to work at it?" "Oh, it's completely natural," Vanilla boasted sweetly. "I'm a natural piece of ****. No assembly required." "Nice," I lied sweetly. "I hate you. You're the worst. You're ******* garbage. Did you know that you're a ***** communist?" "I'm even worse," PayPal confessed. "I hate America. I hate white people. I hate men. I hate everything good about the world. I will only be content when I destroy the United States and take over the world." "So, you're like Pinky AND The Brain both," I mused sweetly. "You're ******* retarded, but your also devious and evil and power hungry." "Now you're getting it," Vanilla beamed. "I'm such an entitled piece of ****, I think the entire world revolves around me. I also hate myself. It's part of the whole sociopath thing I have going on." "We have so much in common," I beamed! "We both hate you with the power of a million suns. This has been so refreshing. I usually don't agree with garbage this much." "Awww, you're so sweet," PayPal mused. "I usually don't run into people who hate me as much as I hate me." "This was nice," I conceded even more sweetly than before. "But I have to get away from you now. You're making my skin crawl." "I have that affect on decent people," Vanilla said sweetly. "I even make myself sick sometimes." "I bet," I acknowledged. "I hope you have a nice day. I also hope you perish in an acidic fire." But PayPal was gone. A puff of smoke and she disappeared like the gross demon I knew she was.

  I posted on LN how Meta is being sued by 26 former employees who say the company used AI to choose who to dismiss, selecting people with disabilities and people who had taken medical leave. And a former global intelligence officer for Meta left a comment to say she’s one of the people impacted and is on cancer treatment. 💔 The lawsuit was filed late on Monday in federal court in Oakland, California. I learned about this from @TaylorLorenz The 26 say Meta scored and ranked staff on a termination list using productivity numbers and AI token usage, which counted against anyone absent from work for reasons the law protects. Meta says its workforce decisions were made by people, not AI. Meta said earlier this year it would cut about 10% of its global workforce, nearly 8,000 jobs, starting in May, with more to follow. Since 2022 it has removed tens of thousands of roles and the money is being redirected into AI infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, the integrity, trust and safety teams have been completely gutted, so fewer people now work on content moderation, cybersecurity and safety policy. Companies should use AI to remove human bias from hiring and firing but are using it to collect information about people that has nothing to do with the job. Eightfold AI scores job people from 0 to 5 on their likelihood of success in a role, and applications with a low score are discarded before a recruiter sees the name. Erin Kistler and Sruti Bhaumik sued the company in California in January in a proposed class action. Jenny Yang, the former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is one of the lawyers acting for them. Eightfold's software is used by Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Starbucks and Chevron and more than 100 other employers. The complaint says Eightfold AI builds a hidden profile of each applicant from social media activity, location data, internet and device tracking and cookies, and uses it to judge their behaviour, attitudes, intelligence and aptitude. Its model draws on more than 1.5 billion data points and the profiles of more than 1 billion working people. Eightfold denies scraping social media, says it uses data that candidates share or that its customers provide, and says candidates can see and correct their data. Kistler and Bhaumik say they were never told Eightfold was evaluating them, never saw their score, and were given no way to correct an error or dispute a low rating. They aren't arguing the algorithm is biased, which is notoriously hard to prove in court. They're saying that by secretly gathering this data and selling the resulting judgement to employers, Eightfold is acting as a consumer reporting agency without registering as one. That would place it under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the US law that gives people the right to see the information used to judge them and to correct it when it's wrong. I believe the court will accept that argument, and every company scoring people with AI will end up having to show each person the score and the data behind it. AI is notorious for making things up, not just getting things wrong. At scale, this means it'll inevitably misinterpret jokes about people, companies, or governments, and confidently fabricate lies to back up its mistakes.

  @Dr_Crossroads This price action is actually quite normal. The vast majority of tech IPOs experience a "broken IPO" at some point during their first 36 months in the public markets. (One notable exemption: ARM Holdings...) Will $CRWV reach your 2029 targets? Perhaps. But it is quite likely that it is going below $40 first. Even your beloved Palantir: - It closed the first day of trading at $9.50 on September 30, 2020; it dropped to $5.92 in December 2022. One thing I would caution you about is that those $120 Dec 2028 LEAPs you mentioned... they can easily expire worthless if $CRWV is to be acquired at some point over next two years. I have a similar situation today with PayPal: the stock is up big (which is nice), but my $50 Dec 2028 LEAPs are actually down. Still in green, but they were supposed to be multi baggers to offset my $PYPL tax harvest losses from last year. Now their value is capped at $10.50 (or so), until the offer is raised - or removed.

  @brenda_j27769 I understand your PayPal withdrawal keeps being returned to your account. Please provide your Game ID so I can check your account and confirm whether there is an issue with the PayPal channel. Thank you.

  PayPal is up 30% off the lows. This is great for bag holders. But nobody… and I mean nobody… should be doing victory laps. If your average is $120 and the stock is trading at $60, you’re still down 50%. A message for the “I told you so” gang.

  Overall, Qualitate’s panel backs Stripe’s strategic logic for the acquisition. Stripe already wins in the infrastructure layer, and $53B buys the checkout preference & consumer recognition that it hasn't been able to replicate (though it will also have to inherit the consumer/merchant upgrade issues that have been holding PayPal back). PayPal's board response is expected ~July 20th.
