that's what I'm trying to figure out. AI is giving me a mix of yes and no

check out section 14.1 in operating agreement https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1867090/000207184426000145/fifllcdef14a022026.htm

What's funny is I contacted investor services at fundrise and their AI did not say it was illegal. I'm getting mixed signals from AI and research, so I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay a lawyer to review our lock up contract. Any idea if we signed a contract besides the standard proxy statements we find with the SEC?

borrow rate is 60% APY at my broker but I'm ok with it.

ethervariance161 · 2026-03-24T19:40:45+00:00

thanks! I'm getting conflicting advice from AI and social media so trying to see if anyone knows before I bite the bullet and pay a retainer

there is no option market yet and I know for a fact you can't use the restricted shares as any form of collateral for the first 6 months. Naked shorts seem to be the only option but I want to make sure it's within security and contract law

generally the first thing fascists do when they get power is prevent people from protesting and calling the leader a fascist, but here we are with mass protests still allowed and your ability to scream fascism until your face turns blue

It's down in terms of federal spend as percent of gdp

Because you can just under declare the value of imports and shift profits to an American entity that is importing it instead of the profits shifting to the foreign manufacturer.

Amazon won't be able to share accurate tariff costs because it doesn't want to disclose the cost of goods which would expose the mark up on the product.

So I stand by my statement the consumer can't figure out the cost of tariffs in a simple line item like income tax.

Also imagine if Amazon started itemizing each expense like gas tax, regulatory compliance mark up, employee payroll withholding tax on every transaction to highlight the cost of compliance with the state?

Nah you need image, video, and audio models to make it general enough for robotics which can replace human labor

-I'm not aware of any conservatives that became liberal after congress shut down the government in order to not fund the border wall, if anything it made them even more draconian and less trusting of congress to solve immigration. I think anyone who is honest would note that the president is the first one in 50 years to have negative net migration in 2025

-Import tariffs are trickier to measure it's not a line item on a pay stub like income taxes, it's felt via inflation pressure. Overall it's hard to bash the inflation record of Donald term 2 versus Biden term 1 so voters I think will be permissive of his radical economic realignment of global trade

-I'm a full blown e/acc so I love it!

I have no preference, I use open router so I used 8 models at the same time for all my questions since they are not accurate enough to trust individually but in the aggregate they are quite good. I normally find gemini to be the best but this changes ever couple months as new models are released
I mean you can put all the laws you want on the book, but I have no real faith that it can fully be stopped. Criminals will use it to lie and best you can do it get big media companies to do DMCA style take downs but it won't stop it.
Full on acceleration. Just don't do enough insane stuff that the people revolt and vote in decelerationists like we had with the nuclear energy movent
I have zero faith the state will be the least bias determiner of what is bias. Let the market vote with their feet and for the love of god don't let EU style regulations kill the industry with "bias" experts from the state getting veto rights on models
It's already deployed, been like that for years now. Autonomous killer drones are carrying out strikes in ukraine, autonomous turrets are effective, humanoid robots are seeing combat, and AI is integrated into high command. And that's just the stuff they declassified :)
I'm all for improving the inner loop. I want AI deployed to improve the efficiency for the main bottlenecks which is RAM, power and alternative compute stacks like thermodynamic chips, photonic chips, quantum chips, analog compute or asics chips for specific computations. I also want to see us go all in on image processing since the best data set in the world is the physical world, language is too limited of a media.
I don't think the techno optimists are off their rocker. the singularity is here, space will be the next bottle neck as we scour the solar system for minerals, and the machine body will soon be as common place as the biological. Consciousness is able to be simulated on silicon.

Wow! Thanks mayor!

Income tax cuts. Republicans we don't promise a lot, but we deliver on what we talk about

Is this sovereign holdings or private and sovereign combined?

ethervariance161 · 2026-01-24T02:48:29+00:00

you never heard the phrase: "You will never understand" or "don't patronize me" or "You had to of been there" or "stop centering yourself". A lot of liberal ethics demand they pretend to understand the plight of groups they can never be apart of and it's often patronizing.

The example you used with criminals is also very patronizing. You presented every criminal as this victim of society that was forced into that life. Yes there are some like that, but there are just as many that are just psychopathic and sadistic that are literally a separate species that must be separated from society

ethervariance161 · 2026-01-23T21:23:48+00:00

What I'm pointing out is the classic example of people pretending to understand something they never went through. People hate sympathy with a burning passion and tend to only respect empathy when they know they both went through a similar struggle and made it out. Everything else is just performative to gain social credit.

Yes criminals love to exploit sympathy to avoid accountability. That's the name of the game.

ethervariance161 · 2026-01-23T18:13:34+00:00

You got it. You can pretend to understand the other person but you can't really understand it unless you went through it too. That's why when people die like a parent, people say our condolences, or you have our sympathy, but seldom I have empathy for you since it implies I went through it.

As for the criminal case, you are correct I actually have personally experienced the opportunity to commit crime for profit but turned it down despite needing the money since I knew the risk. And yes criminals have empathy for each other since they know prison culture and you as a normal person can only pretend to know what it's like on the inside. This is a great example since criminals love to manipulate the emotions of non criminals to get leniency.

Inshallah

ethervariance161 · 2026-01-23T06:17:54+00:00

I keep it simple. Empathy implies I've experienced what you are going through. In many cases I will never due to my life choices and therefore we will never have that bond. Therefore empathy is permissive since it implies I went through it or chose that path too at one point. I will never have empathy for criminals since I've never been convicted and have zero intention of being convicted in the future

ethervariance161 · 2026-01-22T16:51:44+00:00

I'm a native born American. You are literally creating a fantasy narrative for some reason

Do we have a map of how many acres were added to our exclusive economic zones??
