Winning power is hard. Stepping away from power is legendary.

GM. Happy 4th. Whenever I use ChatGPT as a research tool, especially whenever related to AI research (either for investment research purposes or my sci fi writings), I am aware of the momentary irony (AI is telling me about AI), I randomly throw in weird questions since it's already primed on the topic:

It seems it's the season to make 8k word pieces great again.

In my sci fi novel draft (currently in editing), this is a topic that comes up a handful of times. Much of the social media in the book is key-based, and some analysts are dealing with overwhelming AI slop and examine social graphs and such. I don't portray it as a silver bullet (very expensive misinformation attacks like the ones they are dealing with in the book can exploit existing social graphs and build new ones), but the analysts nonetheless use social graphs to fish out some of the drowned truths.

It's actually been a while since I wrote a long article. My public newsletters and premium reports are typically in the 3k-6k word range. I've got a 7k+ finished piece coming out this weekend. Haven't done one of those in a while. I've got another 8k+ piece written in the pipeline that I'm still tweaking. Trying to avoid some of the insane 12k-20k type of pieces I wrote in 2020 during the money-printing mayhem (although at least those later became the basis of Broken Money).

With Chrome and adblock, I get none.

About an hour. But I've been wanting to do it for a while.

I made a short recap of the deficit situation. My first ever video meme. Enjoy: https://www.captiongenerator.com/v/2310386/recap-of-the-deficit-situation
