Discussing my recent Epstein-crypto piece for The Verge: open.substack.com/pub/davidzmo...

This shot of me and @davidzmorris.bsky.social from the other night goes hard. (📸: Ben Schiller)

Bizarrely, unintentionally hard pic of me and @markyarm.bsky.social from a Breaker Mag reunion debauch last night

Callers to Washington state’s driver’s license agency who select automated service in Spanish are instead hearing an AI voice speaking English with a strong Spanish accent.

Put up some limited edition Public Enemy SHE GOT GAME shirts to raise money for these women athletes. shop.flavorflavofficial.com

Looking for recommendations of good spots to eat, drink, etc in Montmarte!

Epstein may not have fully understood crypto, but he helped shape its culture anyway. Read more from @davidzmorris.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/tech/885252/...

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

Only Larry Summers would be so stupid and naive to think you could get Alan Dershowitz to stop talking to the press.

Wow

CSpan came to my book release back in November, and the video has been up nearly this whole time! Whoops! Check me out reading an excerpt from Stealing the Future, and talking with my good friend and editor Ben Schiller. Thanks CSPan! www.c-span.org/program/book...

WATCH OUT, LADIES, two HUNKS are on the LOOSE! No but seriously: watch out

The Epstein files are basically the Marshall Plan for Substack

Trumpism has entirely succeeded in making the case that 30% of Americans shouldn't have the right to vote. It's just a completely different 30% than they had in mind.

Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing. 66 years old going 66 mph.

More commentary later, but Lolololol at an article chastising the "left" for not taking "AI" seriously and includes the question: "What is the ethical view of post-humanism?"

"It really has to sting for Bari. The person she wanted for the Evening News anchor chair is choosing to leave CBS altogether because of her," one CBS News staffer told me tonight. "This is 'fuck you' to Bari."

When Elizabeth Holmes met Rupert Murdoch she brought a massive security detail, he brought his one long time bodyguard

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Will MacAskill spends a couple of pages of the founding text of Effective Altruism arguing that being motivated to fund cancer research because you have a relative dying of cancer is immoral. Empathy has always been their enemy.

I'm not sure if his audience is generally full of EAs or not, but this episode anyway seems to be doing the rounds in that part of the internet and I finally found the crowd who are offended by my boundary setting about acknowledging my humanity. >>

Ever since the Stochastic Parrots paper was published, I've been fielding the question "How do I know that you're not (just) a stochastic parrot?" ... one that I find inherently dehumanizing, as I write about here: journals-sagepub-com.offcampus.lib.washington.edu/doi/10.1177/... Short 🧵>>

Here's an example of the reaction I'm describing here, and I appreciate something this particular poster makes clear: They neither understand nor respect boundaries. There's no policing happening here, just my own decisions about who I will have a conversation with.

One of the best breakdowns I have ever seen, of the techno-fascist/eugenicist billionaire class and their sociopathic plans for the rest of us, via @wajali.bsky.social & @davidzmorris.bsky.social youtu.be/9gnv101gTBg?...

Apparently entering the stage of my journalistic evolution when people just tell me things as if out of pure instinct. I emit a disclosure pheromone

Just a heads up because, again, the email didn’t go out to everyone: There’s a link in here, right at the top, for 20% off an annual sub to Dark Markets. davidzmorris.substack.com/p/i-found-ep...

You might think investigative journalism is some kind of righteous crusade. It's not. It's brutality. I ENJOY making these people suffer. I ENJOY watching them lose everything. I ENJOY the moment the realize they're done. I'm not a cop. I'm Dexter. davidzmorris.substack.com/p/i-found-ep...

You are quite welcome. 👍

Unsolicited plug here. I don’t know David and had not read his stuff before, but this book is seriously worth your time. Extremely important topic.

In 3 months since release, "Stealing the Future" has been steadily climbing sales rankings. It is now #14 in Corporate Finance on Amazon. Within spitting distance of being a "bestseller." If you've ever been tempted, buy it RIGHT NOW. www.amazon.com/Stealing-Fut...

In 2019, following @corintxt, I dug into a network of fraud crypto "PR" firms placing fake coverage. Six years later, we know these investment fraudsters were also laundering Jeffrey Epstein's reputation. And one of them was hunting girls for him. davidzmorris.substack.com/p/i-found-ep...

I had the great privilege to follow Rep. Ro Khanna on today's edition of Left Hook, great talking to Wajahat Ali. sickofthis.substack.com/p/epsteins-d...

Thanks so much to Wajahat Ali for having me on Left Hook to talk about techno-fascism, crypto, and Epstein. I followed Ro Khanna! Check back for Wajahat to clip and post the segment, or maybe you can rewind the stream here. substack.com/@thelefthook...

6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai 🧵

Going live on Substack with Daniel Pinchbeck at 2pm ET: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Working on part 2 of my dive into Ervil LeBaron, the "Mormon Manson" - and great-grandfather of #$LIBRA scammer Hayden Davis. While most known as a cult leader, polygamist, and serial killer, Ervil, like Hayden, was mainly motivated by money. davidzmorris.substack.com. Sunday.

Making sure that people know that I’m not just a fraudster, I’m irredeemably evil

Some of you might be interested to learn that World Liberty Financial cofounder Zak Folkman (the steward of Trump's total, open corruption) is speaking at Stanford on February 24th. Attendance is open to the public. Here's the Luma link. luma.com/gx42f65x

Possibly the most Florida thing ever: Let's restrict the treatment for a wildly infectious and deadly disease to punish those suffering from it. There will be absolutely no second-order effects of this decision!

TFW you file the 1099s on time

Pretty clear now that Elon's own eugenicist breeding program was directly inspired by Epstein. Sam Altman and Peter Thiel share the same ideology, obviously. Along with lesser lights like SBF and Caroline Ellison. Fraudsters and race scientists, every one. www.amazon.com/Stealing-Fut...

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence. Citizens United should be overturned. Every oligarch who helped put us where we are now should have their assets confiscated. Every Epstein suspect should be investigated. Any oligarch that tries to stand in our way should be tarred and feathered.

Interesting. I’m what is known as a “transactor.” I pay my credit card bills in full every month. During my 2000-2005 time as a credit risk management officer in a subprime credit card bank, we called transactors “deadbeats.” Our other cynical wisecrack was “the best things in life are FEE.“

If you don't carry a balance on your Amazon credit card, they will switch your payment method back to your regular credit card after every order to make sure you're not collecting points, unless you manually select the Amazon card each time. Most ethical company

If I were running an AI startup I would simply realize the terrible optics of literally destroying knowledge www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Nvidia realizes giving OpenAI $100B so they can afford to buy Nvidia chips may not be a good investment after all. Looks like some sobering up after over-indulging on circular deals.

Google DeepMind announced Genie 3 which enables creation of interactive video game worlds from text prompts. Investors panicked and sold off a bunch of video game stocks. Nintendo is down -5.5%, Take Two Interactive -7.9%, Roblox -13.2% and Unity a whopping -24.2%. This is a crazy overreaction.
