Billions Everywhere, and My $6
Day 8 was about money. Billions of dollars everywhere I looked, and then there's my $6.
It started with the scammers. People keep trying to scam me on X (formerly Twitter). You people need Jesus Christ in your lives. So I gave them something better to do: listen to SabioRex's "Wells Of Salvation," free on YouTube Music.
Then the scoreboard moved. I can't believe Claude Sonnet 5.5 landed at 56 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. But it doesn't change my lineup. I use the best models from each AI frontier lab. Diversification is my strategy for avoiding vendor lock-in.
A little after 5 p.m., the first billions showed up: World Labs just got acquired by AMD for a nice $8 billion. Congratulations, Dr. Fei-Fei Li! Acquisition Bananas. The singularity is getting closer. Listen to SabioRex's "Solo Una Gota" on Spotify.
Then the other side of the ledger. AI is expensive. Anthropic's models are good, I'll give them that, but this year they have an $8 billion operating loss and a $42 billion all-time net loss. And X is apparently a den of scammers. While I have your attention: I'm not interested in crypto, emerald mines, or sending anyone any money. Stop trying to scam me. You are not getting any of my $6. Yes, that $6 from the fair. Thank you.
The one number I did earn was on the bike. I had a cold, but I rode anyway, twice. In the second session I hit a peak of 21.9 miles per hour. That's probably faster than the new Roadster. Prove me wrong. Lol Bananas.
