In terms of depreciating assets, an AI data center is worse than a boat.

A service that gives a bullshit engine unsupervised access to the irreversible-transaction machine? What could possibly go wrong?

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

EDIT: Fixed "Blocked" issue by linking to archive

EDIT2: Also linked to the correct archive page

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
