@Polymarket Artemis II reviewers on Booking.com gave their stay a 3/10 noting the views are beautiful but the bathroom smell is disgusting.

JUST IN: The Artemis II toilet’s vent froze over, potentially causing the terrible smell astronauts reported. NASA is tilting the space ship toward the Sun to try & thaw it out.

@21shares_us Good point. Everything would appear to be at risk

If quantum cracks encryption, what do you think will be the first to go: the global banking system or bitcoin?

@TVNewsNow Hmmm $2 mill for passage or $2 mill to be shot at w/ a chance of passage. 🤔

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Marc Thiessen has a GENIUS PLAN to fund the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz: “I think what President Trump ought to do is have a Hormuz Transit Tariff.” “Instead of Iran charging $2M per vessel going through the Strait, the U.S. will charge a $2M escort fee for every vessel — which is about $9B a month or $100B in revenue.” “We will waive that fee for any country that participates in the coalition to open up the Strait.” “That will open it and reward the good guys that are helping us and punish those staying on the sidelines,” @marcthiessen tells @BretBaier.

What if rising AI & robotics-driven unemployment sparks widespread unrest? A dark but plausible theory: governments facing mass job loss and growing protests might use multiple levers to maintain control — including military recruitment, diversionary conflicts, and robotic policing. Pure speculation, but rooted in historical patterns of power preservation. Step 1: Broaden military enlistment. Raising the max age to 42 (as the U.S. Army just did) pulls in more able-bodied adults — especially those in their late 30s/early 40s hit by AI displacement. In a crisis, this could quietly reduce the pool of potential protesters at home while framing it as "national service." Step 2: Escalate external conflicts or reinstate elements of a draft. If protests turn destructive, a diversionary war (or heightened military posture) could redirect anger outward and "export" younger, frustrated workers overseas. History shows desperate regimes have tried similar tactics to buy time and create a "rally around the flag" effect — even when past attempts backfired. Step 3: Deploy AI & robotic systems for domestic order. As human police are stretched thin (or sent abroad), robots and autonomous systems could handle crowd control, asset protection, and surveillance. Current tech is mostly remote-operated and non-lethal, but in a severe breakdown, escalation rules would apply. The grim trade-off: If protesters begin destroying critical infrastructure, AI data centers, government systems, or threatening officials, security forces — human or robotic — face a binary choice: Protect lives, property, and assets… or stand down. Rules of engagement almost always authorize lethal force when there's imminent threat. Fewer able-bodied people on the streets (due to war/draft) could mean fewer direct confrontations with robotic units — potentially reducing the number of lethal incidents and the resulting public blowback. A cold calculus: minimize visible chaos at home while preserving core power structures. This remains a hypothetical worst-case scenario. Governments do plan for multiple futures — including ugly ones involving tech-driven unemployment and civil disorder. Whether they’d ever chain these tools together this way is unknown. History shows power rarely surrenders gracefully. Human nature + advanced tech could create dangerous new combinations.

The U.S. Army is expanding its recruiting pool by raising the maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42, according to new service regulations reviewed by ABC News. The Pentagon has estimated that only about 23% of young Americans (between the ages of 17 and 24 years old) are eligible to serve. Much of this is due to academic performance on the military’s SAT-style entrance test, obesity and criminal records. abcnews.visitlink.me/-OeXj3

I get the point but he's oversimplifying what the AI systems have done with Chess and what they will do with coding/software. First, chess hasn't been "solved". Just all the ai systems are way above a human's ability. There's ongoing improved chess ai systems. Stockfish 18 which is better than each of it's prior generations and Google's Alphazero etc. When you watch a game you don't even understand the reasons for some of the moves even studying while it's happening. Only in hindsight is there a better understanding (sometimes). Solving means there's a definite answer. Yet these systems beat each other in games many times. Also Chess is confined to the rules. Perhaps coding in some languages could be "solved." But AI can create new languages and codebases and doesn't have to be confined to the ones we created. This makes it infinitely more vast than what is limited in Chess. Not only will it be way better than what humans can do at the things we understand it will also create things we cannot understand.

Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone. Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation. "I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody. It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code." --- From @theallinpod YT channel (link in comment)

@DaveShapi Even when you pay you're the product. There's no practical way to escape it.

If the app is free, you are the product. I remember telling some Microsoft fanboys about this when GitHub was acquired and they lost their minds. Now all the content on GitHub has been used to train AI. If it's free, you're not the customer. You're the product. Same on Facebook.

@Birdyword NY and CA duking it out for most mismanaged/corrupt State. CA wanted to build housing for the homeless and it was gonna coat $500k per unit (this was in 2018) kcrw.com/stories/should…

Absolutely astounding figures from the NY state comptroller: spending on services for the NYC street homeless population ran to $81,705 per person last year, up from $28,428 pp 6yrs ago. Figures do not include all kinds of other spending, supportive housing, policing costs etc.

Be careful who you trust Internet famous Dr. Mike, has 30 million followers on his social media profiles He strongly recommends many vaccines He says “I have never been compensated by a vaccine company” He’s lying. He’s received over a million according to government data “Dr. Mike has said that he's never been compensated by a vaccine company, but publicly available records tell a different story that raises questions according to the U.S Government's CMS Open Payments database, which tracks financial relationships between doctors and pharmaceutical companies. Payments associated with Abbott Laboratories linked to Dr. Mikhail Varshavski. Total more than $1 million. Abbott is one of the largest flu vaccine manufacturers. So Dr. Mike, how do you reconcile those records with your statement that you've never taken money from a vaccine company?” And this is just what’s disclosed as direct payments….

@newlooklurker @cremieuxrecueil The average person being told their BMI is high doesn't change their habits either. Unfortunately, the average person being told they have Diabetes or Hypertension also do not change their habits. Changing a habit is difficult.

@ApedInCrypto @cremieuxrecueil If the average person could look in the mirror and realize they're overweight and change their habits based on that...then the average person wouldn't be overweight. But they are. 🤷‍♂️

There are a few people for whom BMI doesn't indicate obesity. Very few. Comparing BMI to body fat-based assessments, there's >98% agreement, with 97% for men and 99.9% for women. BMI works well at the population level!

@alifarhat79 Isn’t that bashir al assad

Lmao

This whole thing makes no sense. Tucker knew his messages were being read. They were read before interviewing Putin and he spoke about that. There’s no way he didn’t know his communication with Iran was being watched closely. He may be in on this whole public ordeal to help prevent him from being a target of Iran who may feel he was betrayed by him.

When you discover the CIA has been reading your texts in order to frame you for a crime.

The general public won’t care about FARA. Americans believe you have a first amendment right to basically say whatever you want paid or otherwise and disclosing an interest won’t matter for something like this. Our entire political system and capitalistic system is based on lobbying, marketing and conflicts of interest. People won’t care that it’s Iran who we’re in a war with now. Trying to silence him will backfire more. Americans generally draw the line at what you do not what you say. You can be technically and legally correct but that won’t matter.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 I have unpublished information that--if fully verified-- would prove that @TuckerCarlson is deceptively minimizing the U.S. government's evidentiary basis for its alleged concerns about his foreign ties & activities. I suspect that his announcement today is a pre-emptive strike aimed at scripting a reflexive "This is Russiagate 2.0" narrative in his defense. 1⃣ Tucker announced today that the CIA is developing "some kind of criminal referral" or a "crime report" against him for violating FARA by failing to register as a foreign agent while conducting activities on behalf of a foreign principal (a foreign government, organization, agent(s), political party, non-U.S. citizen/resident abroad, etc.) 2⃣ Tucker claims the CIA intends to "frame" him (as written in his X post) based on his texts with highly-informed Iranians inside Iran shortly before Operation Epic Fury began; texts that the Trump Administration supposedly acquired by illegally "spying" on him. Tucker does not explain what appears in those texts that the U.S. government considers to be evidence of a crime. Tucker does not identify these Iranians inside Iran. Nor does he describe their roles or levels of access. He does not justify his trusting of them as credible sources. How long has he been talking to them and relying upon them for forming his views (and, therefore, creating the content for his audience)? Tucker does not explain why he's so shocked that the U.S. government would scoop up an American's texts with in-the-know Iranians inside Iran shortly before war breaks out. 2⃣ Tucker blatantly lies by claiming that he has "never taken money from anybody" and "that's provable." I'm frankly shocked he'd be so brazenly and recklessly dishonest. He and Tucker Carlson Network raised about $15 million from 1789 Capital (whose President is longtime Tucker associate Omeed Malik) in 2023. Tucker then reportedly bought out those investors last year. Perhaps he will use manipulative semantics to say that giving money to his business entity isn't the same as giving money to him personally. 3⃣ Tucker says the NSA "spied" on him in 2021 by intercepting his communications with a U.S. citizen helping him to arrange an interview in Putin. He says the U.S. government continued spying on him and reviewed his arranging of his controversial interview with Putin in February 2024. Intercepting an American's communications with a legitimate foreign intelligence target is NOT tantamount to "spying" on that American in the way that Tucker knows his audience will envision as happening to him. Tucker Carlson claims he is not worried about the purported criminal case allegedly being built against him. But he's laying out his defense against it right now.

It seems more and more that the deep state has recruited @TuckerCarlson and @RealCandaceO to help facilitate the “break up” of US- Israeli relationship from a cultural perspective over the last few years and ongoing. That region is becoming more and more volatile / high stakes and now we are fishing but i suspect we will eventually cut bait. The recruiting doesn’t need to be overt. It could be “leaking” info to them that pushes a narrative they want discussed to help achieve this and lay the groundwork for a change in the US - Israeli relationship.

No two countries have the same priorities. That’s why it should be illegal to yoke our military to a foreign power in war. Bret Weinstein on how it happened.

The US knows its current military hardware is about to become obsolete with AI iterating so fast. That's why we're flexing in the Iran-Israel war: live demo weapons while they're still dominant, rack up sales to allies, then pivot to the next gen. Showroom war.

Pie in they sky. Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran operating in Southern Lebanon. Israel can't eliminate them despite aerial superiority and repeated/sustained ground operations. But let's believe we could employ a similar playbook and be successful in Iran a much larger country. This is not to mention leaving behind devastated areas and countless refugees.

@WillCainShow Israel was in a drawn out offensive with roughly 15,000 ground soldiers in Lebanon last year to deal with Hezbollah in a small portion of Lebanon. What realistically is a few thousand Kurds gonna do in all of Iran that's more than 150 times larger than all of Lebanon.

@JimFergusonUK US must have @georainbolt working for them

🚨 BREAKING: IRAN THREATENS — HOURS LATER, FACILITY DESTROYED This morning, Iranian state TV aired a propaganda video showcasing what it claimed was an underground missile storage facility — a direct warning to the U.S. and Israel. Now, reports indicate that same facility has been struck and destroyed in coordinated U.S.–Israeli airstrikes. From televised threat… to smoking crater. If confirmed, this marks a rapid intelligence-to-target cycle and a clear message: exposed assets are vulnerable assets. The tempo of this war is accelerating. Stand by.
