I really wish it existed under its own category somehow

Softcore porn? I think it already exists within this category

That doesn't really answer the question of whether the 89% figure is misleading due to regular investors having stake in institutional investors though, as suggested by the comment above mine. This would require information on the proportion of those funds owned by wealthy people vs non wealthy. That said you're clearly giving better info than the OP video so kudos for that

From what I've read sounds like it can be accurately summed up as stupid xitter drama over politics word.

It could mean that, or maybe the rich own most of those mutual funds too? Unfortunately the video links to a probably-AI-generated Medium article that references an article by The Atlantic that is from 2007 and about an unrelated topic and obviously isn't the actual source for the 89% figure, so checking the actual numbers would require more work.

Group-IB also warns that the UniShadow Trade apps can mimick a variety of legitimate cryptocurrency and trading platforms

The apps requested that users uploaded several documents, such as national IDs and passports, both to add legitimacy to the investment process and also to further empower the threat actors with sensitive information theft.

Even when legitimate it is pretty creepy when crypto exchanges ask for this stuff, there's no reason they would need it except to surveil you for the government and it's an obvious security risk. Hadn't considered that it also normalizes giving sensitive information to scammers who also ask for it apparently.

It's not actually clear that it only affects huge companies. Much of open source AI today is done by working with models that have been released for free by large companies, and the concern was that the requirements in the bill would deter them from continuing to do this. Especially the "kill switch" requirement made it seem like the people behind the bill were either oblivious to this state of affairs or intentionally wanting to force companies to stop releasing the model weights and only offer centralized services like what OpenAI is doing.

You get to be proud if your country or your people are a force for good in the world; doing things worth being proud of. Being proud that your parents were from Alabama and hooked up one night and you just so happened to be their spawn makes no sense. This applies no matter where you’re from.

Do you get mad every time someone plays Country Roads? When you live somewhere that place, the people in it, the way they live and your connections to them becomes a part of who you are. I think it's alright to demand that southerners not use the confederate flag for that because of its inherent racism, but basic respect for the humanity of someone who came from a different place means also respecting the fond feelings they may have for it and the way that place is part of their identity.

Because during bad times the ones that make bad decisions don’t survive or at very least are removed from positions of power.

The ones best equipped to get in positions of power during "bad times" are bad people willing to put their ambitions above basic human decency.

The idea that violent and traumatic environments lead to strong people making good choices always seemed pretty stupid to me.
