Your scroll-to-death user interface made me close the window before the end of the second page.

Did you ask an LLM to recommend the most user-friendly UI to you?

I use a unique email address for each substack author that I subscribe to. That is incompatible with Notes.

If you subscribe to someone’s Notes you also subscribe to their email articles. No thank you, especially if aal their articles are behind a paywall. Not sure why Musk is so freaked out over Notes. Probably just general paranoia.

The FDIC $250,000 insurance is there to protect the depositors.

The amount is not a secret.

If you keep more than that in cash in a bank account, you take a known risk and must definitely not be bailed out.

You did not need to keep that large amount in cash. You could have bought short-term US treasury bills with every cent above $250k, and your deposits would have been perfectly safe. All of it.

Why would that merit a recurring charge? In other words, what ongoing expense is incurred by the company to display a particular icon next to your name?

What about the verified status can change, that merits a recurring charge versus a once-off charge? Can you suddenly morph into “not you”?

Any alien race with technology to reach Sol will also have superior technology to defend themselves. Only start worrying when the “balloon” shot down the F-18s and F35s that were scrambled to shoot it down.

The biggest weakness of ChatGPT is that you do not know the source of the information that it presents to you.

With Google, you can apply human assessment and judgment on the veracity of the information based upon your knowledge of the reliability of the source of the information. With ChatGPT that is not possible.

From the article:

“The chairman of FBH is Jean Chalopin, who, along with being a co-creator of cartoon cop Inspector Gadget in the 1980s, is the chairman of Deltec Bank, which, like FTX, is based in the Bahamas. Deltec’s best-known client is Tether, a crypto company with $65 billion in assets offering a stablecoin that is pegged to the dollar.”

That tells you everything you need to know.
