@vedugudev @ZssBecker Embedded pinball software?

@ZssBecker I work in a very small niche of programming where almost no hard questions have answers on stack overflow. AI is completely useless. It is almost always wrong and often spectacularly wrong. I assume it works better for react apps.

I vibe code every day. I have a team of 30+ engineers. We spend F tons of credits. And I will tell you this about AI from my experience. It’s being wildly over hyped. Everyone is drunk. Fucking drunk. All the CEOs and Gen Z’s saying coding is dead are idiots. IDIOTS.

ARE YOU READY?

@astralsflame Insane. Help has arrived for Orzhov

For 2 mana instant speed, this kind of gas actually

@peterdaou Fear not...octogenarians are the only other ones watching regular news outside boredom in a hotel. If most Americans don't know what's going on, I ASSURE you it's not related to your hotel experience.

When I travel, I often watch regular TV news in hotels. The level of propaganda never ceases to amaze me. Most Americans don't know what's really happening in the world.

@juliandorey You don't have to explain. We all know. You are not alone...you couldn't hardly have any more company if you tried.

it is hard for me to properly explain, but everything since 2020 feels simulated patterns everywhere more so than any 5-10 year era of history i can think of

@karrie_farrar @EricRWeinstein Been following your responses, and they seem to amount to "get gud". Seems a bit unselfaware to go on about how it's great and it is WE who need to level up. I think people just want better results and/or clearer failure modes...this is like asking users to work around a wonky UI

I actually think you’re describing something real here, Eric. It can feel unstable—especially in deep theoretical work. But I don’t see it as sabotage so much as a reflection of the system’s nature. AI doesn’t hold a theory the way a human does—it appears sometimes it rebuilds reasoning on the fly, which is why you get flashes of insight alongside inconsistency. I agree that experience can feel chaotic. Yet, when you treat it less like a traditional theorist and more like a high-dimensional search tool, it becomes far more useful. At the same time, it might be premature to rule out that these systems could evolve toward something closer to a true theorist. 🤷‍♀️ Different minds interacting with AI might even shape distinct “intellectual personalities,” suggesting that a reality co-constructed by collective human and AI mind could be on the horizon—or perhaps already emerging. 🤷‍♀️ @grok thoughts? @grok

It is unclear to me whether people in business and software are simply having a TOTALLY different experience than those in the hard sciences of theoretical physics/pure mathematics. I can’t easily compare it to a human theorist or mathematican. It’s like if a partially duplicitous but friendly John von Neumann was your graduate student while secretly also taking other, at times conflicting orders through an undisclosed earpiece, coked out of his mind after an epic triple ayahuascachino, and struggling through amnesia and a concussion, with alternating desires to genuinely help, please, and sabotage you, was providing you with insight and word salad in a 4:1 ratio at a rate you couldn’t keep up with on your best day while taking forever to say “I guess I didn’t understand the problem” or “I’m sorry Dave but I’m afraid I can’t do that” while quietly throwing away hours’ worth of work to make room for whatever you needed to do *right now* and instantly admitting to such behavior when caught. I mean, it’s absolutely amazing. But it is also a completely pathological menace. One user’s experience anyway.

@joedirt501 Gen X, god you all are high on your supply. Sure, some of you are cool, maybe even most, but this guy is yours, and he's sure as shit not the only one:

@badautomatons @joedirt501 Ted Cruz, Glen Beck. @grok give me a list of well known Gen X people who are strong advocates of Israel even through the Iran controversy. I'd consider at an unrecoverable L to be part of Ted Cruz's cohort alone, honestly

@joedirt501 Lumping Gen X in with Boomers is a wild & erroneous take.

@AnnekeLucas Patrick Bet David? I hope there wasn't a more abrasive host... I sympathize with him wanting you to just spit out names and lay everything out, I think people are tired of secrecy and darkness--timing and reasons be damned--but he came off very graceless for such a seasoned host.

"An interview I did on a big podcast platform stands as a testament of my truth, while the host is widely criticized for his harsh, interrogatory interview-style. If I had not been as present, or as grounded, or if I would have had a bad day - if I would have gotten rattled or confused, bowed under pressure, that same interview could just as easily have been touted as the supposed proof of my being a fraud. It would have appeared so."

"The topic of truth is of course fiercely used by all who occupy their time attacking survivors. The network is expert at manipulating appearances." annekelucas.com/writing/2025/2…

Time slowdown, bros...are you out there? I hear all this time moving fast stuff, but I swear to God, Monday was a month ago. I'd kill for a fast forward button... I can't be the only one #time #magnets_how_do_they_work #life

@e_galv It's positive in a way. We know that things aren't working themselves out, no plans/leaders to trust. Anyone smart also knows a mob hollering into the void about scheming elites is nice, but not a strategy. We are pausing and thinking instead of mindlessly reacting now, for once.

Something happened to me over the course of the past few years. I went from holding a deep sense of hope about the future and our ability to fundamentally change our material conditions through uniting, organizing, and supporting one another... to feeling utterly hopeless. This transition has been eye opening in many ways. The human brain is tricky, and I've noticed how this hopelessness has changed the way I think, without me prompting it to. Whereas the current events of the day and the general state of the world used to live in the forefront of my mind, they have since been buried somewhere I have to search to find. I feel so out of touch sometimes. This may sound strange, but the more I speak with other people, the more I realize I'm not the only one experiencing this. I think many of us are in a state of dissociation, freeze, and numbness. We are on autopilot. Our minds are protecting us from the onslaught of negative, terrifying, horrible, unbelievable, and getting worse by the day news. One can only hold so much at once. I believe this is part of the plan. When everyone is on autopilot, then no one can act. Or plan. Or be present. Or use their critical thinking skills all that well. It's like flipping a switch and turning millions of lights off at once. But I don't want to exist in the dark. None of us do. And I don't have all of the answers on getting myself or anyone else back to a place of light and hope. I think the first step is to talk about it. I know I'm not alone and you aren't either. Maybe if enough of us share these experiences with one another and admit where we are at, we can figure out how to move forward.

@BretWeinstein It's like having a myopic but infinitely responsive and energetic assistant, right now...which honestly if you think about it is pretty sweet. No one would scoff at a helper who could mindlessly mow their lawn or shovel but miss some subtleties...that raw force is a huge help.

AI allows you to multitask. It can code for you, while you do research, for example. It also allows you to pull things off the back burner--objectives that were shelved for years or decades for lack of bandwidth--and complete them at a furious pace. These are superpowers.

@Mayhem4Markets No. He's always been bombastic and erratic, but he took it to a new level. There's no coherence or 4D chess to take from his many contradictions. The thing is, it seems entirely intentional. It's like he's now part of the media apparatus that wants people confused at all times.

The real question now. Does anybody actually believe a thing Trump says?

@thedimitri So 90% of people are happy? That's be nice, but doesn't track with my experience unfortunately

There’s a coming-of-age moment when you realize 90% of people are lazy and retarded

@Greencandleit IDGAF as long as they aren't personalized. I'm surprised this wasn't done a decade ago, honestly, saves some grunt labor and label printing.

🚨 JUST IN: Walmart is rolling out DIGITAL price tags in every store. 🤯🤯🤯 Prices can now change across the entire chain in SECONDS. Start taking pictures of shelf prices. They might be different by the time you get to the register. This is inflation on autopilot 😱😱😱

@philhaup @FaceLikeTheSun No better than anyone else's...just pray. I'm just saying, don't be surprised if you've been tunnel visioning on project blue beam or something and the next shoe to drop is actually Covid 2.0 or whatever. There are just thousands of red herrings in play at all times.

@_preordained @FaceLikeTheSun So what’s ur plan

Here’s a reason why this is happening that no one is talking about A worldwide energy infrastructure reset has been underway for some time now We’re entering the later stages of this transition where nations and institutions are jockeying for position to benefit the most on the other side of the transition The battle is to secure inputs for EVs, magnets, batteries, semiconductors, defense systems, and grid equipment Of course these materials will fuel the next stage of energy production and distribution Like SMR’s (Small Modular Reactors) which will likely play a major role To slow down the competition, we have been subject to attacks on the most important commodities that are needed to win the race This is why oil, gas, refining, and shipping chokepoints have been the subject of destruction all over the world in recent weeks What the news tells us as the reasons for this phenomenon is mere propaganda Japan is advancing deep sea rare-earth extraction near Minamitorishima, with reports that the mud there contains very large quantities of yttrium and dysprosium These rare earth materials are needed for performance electronics, energy systems, and advanced materials, especially where heat resistance, magnet strength, and precision optics are required Japan is an ally to America China on the other hand has just announced major new finds in Sichuan including fluorite which is very important in parts of the semiconductor and battery supply chain But in an energy transition, economies still depend heavily on refining capacity The IEA has warned that the current Middle East damage is a major threat precisely because oil and gas infrastructure remains systemically import So these kinds of events like the one here in Valero aren’t likely a total controlled demolition of these sites But they may be strategic attacks by our competitors to slow down the capacity to move the materials around to get ahead in the transitional period Stay watchful ✝️

@AirlinePilotmax It feels like we're being gaslit. Is this just a controlled demolition of infrastructure à la the Great Reset... If you don't give up, I'll bomb your plant! Does it, they respond in kind. Yah, so, now if you don't give up I'm gonna blow up your farms... 🙄

And there it is. Iran has apparently retaliated, striking Kuwait's power infrastructure as the americans and israelis attacked at precise moment markets closed and the 48-hour deadline expired. So much for diplomacy. This was not spontaneous. The timing was deliberate, calculated, and entirely predictable to anyone paying attention. The clock ran out, and the response came exactly on schedule."

@michaelmalice I'm not sure what you are talking...did you feel like we had a break? It never ended

I can't be the only one who feels like he's living in 2020 again Yes there are obvious differences but the energy feels disturbingly familiar

@nickrgrs Yah... One is for sure, the "resistance" isn't having a bunker and foraging and making squirrel stew until you are inevitably murked in a drone sweep. It may not come in the form of voting, but you *do* have to change the system from within or get the ear of someone who can

i have been deep in the "conspiracy" rabbit holes for almost a decade before epstein, charlie kirk, cia, etc went mainstream i was in my early teenage years discovering who runs shit i long ago realized that you and i currently cannot change this system unless u are a multi multi billionaire (which gives you a chance) and even then you are likely to be controlled to some degree knowing this, the only rational thing to do FIRST is to completely forget about politics and then focus on building a life / business that allows you to achieve freedom in short order so you arent totally reliant on a system thats oppressing you once ur there, the conversation can be had to attack the existing power structures, expose them, embed yourself in it, run for office, push your media, start some kind of initiative etc but until then u gotta be selfish, u gotta raise your power levels, u gotta become a player worth something
