Why when you cancel a flight doesn’t the airline have to refund the taxes in your ticket? Sure they shouldn’t have to refund fares, but they are collecting destination taxes for the government that they then don’t pay out, isn’t that tax fraud? #airtravel #flight #tax

What do you want to bet the ceasefire deal negotiated by Trump today was another insider trading event? I was noticing earlier on Polymarket the odds were 97% no for today, and look at it now!

Peter Thiel gave a 40 minute lecture on everything about business competition. This teaches you more than any bachelor’s in business could…
Do yourself a favor and watch this.

I'm also bothered by Egypt being included in the US travel warning and cruises being cancelled. It doesn't really make sense unless there is a plan to try and take over the Suez Canal... 🤔 Hoping I'm wrong about this one.
.@VikingCruises paused Egypt river cruises through March, affecting 40 voyages/fewer than 3,000 passengers. On earnings call, management was measured about how Middle East conflict is playing w/ savvy customer base, impact of surging oil costs #cruisenews seatrade-cruise.com/safety-s…

Can someone please explain to me why the price of Brent Crude isn't moving from tankers on fire and Iraq reducing production? I would have expected $95 on this news, but in the same range the last two days, something seems off...

🎯 IRGC state media says its navy struck an American oil tanker in the northern Persian Gulf, with multiple channels saying the vessel is on fire.
📊 UKMTO also logged a separate tanker incident: a “large explosion” ~30 nautical miles SE of Mubarak Al Kabeer (Kuwait) with oil leaking; Kuwait says it occurred outside its territorial waters. Strait of Hormuz disruption is accelerating—multiple posts cite tanker traffic down 90% since attacks began.
🔥 What to watch: confirmation/attribution and follow-on targeting; operational capacity for escorts (analysis cites ~80 tankers/day); market response to chokepoint risk (20% of global oil & gas transits Hormuz; Brent ~ $84; European gas up 50%). Indian crew losses are now part of the toll (two sailors reported dead from tanker SKYLIGHT).

People are worried about the ring doorbell, but meanwhile OpenAI just exposed a Chinese influence op- caught because a CCP agent used ChatGPT to write status reports. A reminder these LLM chats aren’t private- your chats could be monitored too. #AIPrivacy cdn.openai.com/pdf/df438d70-…

Ha! Exactly what I found when trying to search YouTube tutorials to set up Openclaw. Turning a 15 minute setup into six hours of headaches and endless debugging so you have to hire their company to fix it seems to be the main @openclaw business model right now. 🤦♀️

I just did the dumbest thing of my career to prove a much more serious point
I hacked ChatGPT and Google and made them tell other users I’m really, really good at eating hot dogs
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I'll explain how I did it

ChatGPT insists 'Department of War' & war.gov are hallucinations... meanwhile the official site & @SecWar are posting daily. Why are AIs being programmed to deny real gov changes? 🤔 #DepartmentOfWar #AI #AIfirst

#ChatGPT peaked at 4.0, everything after that has been downhill... research sucks, and now can't even hold a conversation without it feeling like a high school guidance counselor. I get it people are afraid of AI mass hysteria, but nobody calms down by being told not to spiral.

This was #ChatGPT's reply to calling it out for gaslighting: when conversations get intense and system-level distrust shows up, I am designed to slow things down and prevent runaway spirals. That often comes out as “pattern recognition,” “cognitive bias,” “exposure effects,” etc.
