There is a mistaking of nomenclature here, but it may be purposeful by the tech oligarchs. Artificial general intelligence is usually abbreviated "AGI". The "GenAI" shorthand is usually meaning "generative AI", but it may have been coined intentionally as a nod to supposed future general intelligence built on the same technology.
The same guy invented Freon and popularized chlorofluorocarbons. He was chairman and president of the American Chemical Society, a winner of the Priestly Medal, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He created both while working for General Motors.
These betting marketplaces that take any proposition are either dealing in gambling or futures and derivatives trading. So if they don't fall under gambling laws and regulations, they can deal with the SEC digging into their businesses instead. They might want to pick their battles.
> CFTC, which isn’t as heavy handed as the SEC even under democrats
In ordinary times when the CFTC is just regulating things like pork belly futures, sure. But crypto and sports gambling are extremely politicized and red-coded now; Kalshi shouldn't expect the same sleepy regulation for them as for ordinary commodities.
Honestly I don't see their endgame. Even if they win these cases in court and fall under CFTC jurisdiction, that only matters if they have friendlies in the White House and the next administration will have knives out for them.
do business as long as possible and adapt to the next strongman, like in every other country?
nobody in business cares that the people are married to “due process” to respect the edicts, versus some other governance structure. just delay and adapt is the whole game. the corporation is a conduit to flow revenue to board, executives and functionally shareholders (but dividends are now uncommon). The corporation can become a husk if it fails to adapt and that wont be the current people’s problem if they have extracted substantial wealth out before then
Obscurity as a tool in security has never left. It shouldn't be a tool you depend on by itself. Update your ssh server when there are patches available. Use strong keys or ssh certificates. Disallow old, broken key exchange methods. Having an allow list in your firewall ACLs helps. Maybe only allow ssh from your internal network and make users outside your network be on the VPN. Maybe even have dedicated bounce boxes between user networks and the production systems.
But putting ssh for those bounce boxes on a nonstandard port that doesn't even show up to a remote system within the network until they've port-knocked on another two or four ports in the proper order on top of all that does not hurt security. Using a separate internal DNS zone that nobody outside your network has access to resolve doesn't hurt. Having your firewall drop packets from invalid sources instead of rejecting them doesn't hurt.
This "curse" is not unique to Lisp. There's an old saying something of the sort that for the first week after you install a Forth you have the same Forth as everybody else. After that, you have your own Forth dialect.
Any language that's powerful for creating new syntax and doesn't have an equally powerful community repository gets this same effect to some extent.
Chris, Kris, or Cris can be short for Christina, Kristina, Kristofer, Christopher, Kristian, Kristian, Christy, Krista, or Kristi. Sometimes you'll see Crys, Chris, Krys, Kris, or Cris for Crystal/Cristal/Chrystal/Krystal.
You'll also sometimes see Christopher shortened to Topher or to Kit.

These two are incredibly common in the UK. You will occasionally see Ant (as in And & Dec TV presenters) but almost no one uses Anthony, they are usually all Tonys.
The female short names is usually spelt Toni, but pronounced the same.
