Double bankrupt and thrice Rekt, oh boy this might be the special situation of Special Situations.
Per new bankruptcy filing, BlockFi has $227m in Silicon Valley Bank. The bankruptcy trustee warned them on Mon that bc those funds are in a money market mutual fund, they’re not FDIC secured — which could be a prblm w/ keeping in compliance of bankruptcy law

1/Large language models like Galactica and ChatGPT can spout nonsense in a confident, authoritative tone. This overconfidence - which reflects the data they’re trained on - makes them more likely to mislead.

Most governments are only 3 meals away from an uprising. Over a 100 billion servings of instant noodles worldwide alleviate hunger to the poor, guess who's at the top. Adding a quick crash course in Wheat and Nitrogen commodities, to a growing list of signals to track...

A Clash of Civilizations, in cultures but not as Huntington envisioned.
Today, @POTUS signed an Executive Order on crypto-assets. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues across the government to achieve important public policy goals: protecting investors & consumers, guarding against illicit activity, & helping ensure financial stability.
Russia: Z Ukraine: ctrl-Z Best tweet ever aside (h/t @richardlyonn), why this war is also a cybersec war, a infowar, an OSINT war. How @bellingcat's director threads 🧵 the needle 🪡 on this peice of intel:
Jesus, Ukraine just killed Gen. Maj. Vitaly Gerassimov, chief of staff of the 41 Army. At Kharkiv. Russia, if you're listening: delete your army.
There's a very general point here which is that the price of literally every asset that exists can be explained with a combination of 1. Replication 2. Expectations 3. Risk premiums 4. Technical effects
