@CAgovernor False.

California is again leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud. Today, we're taking decisive action against 14 providers who tried using stolen identities to bill Medi-Cal for nonexistent hospice services.

@durov Telegram is used mostly for scams, I have literally never seen it mentioned in anything but a scam.

WhatsApp’s “encryption” may be the biggest consumer fraud in history — deceiving billions of users. Despite its claims, it reads users’ messages and shares them with third parties. Telegram has never done this — and never will 🤝

@AshleyRindsberg It would be hilarious seeing every country ceasing their funding of the UN.

She's being positioned to be next UN Secretary General. God help us.

@GuntherEagleman Eww

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is currently facing a federal lawsuit from his own sister alleging childhood sexual abuse. The case is active right now in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. This is the man who controls ChatGPT and shapes how artificial intelligence interacts with billions of people.

@FranMooMoo Her videos remind me of a bad remake of the Blair with project.

You can almost smell the fear dripping off failed housing minister, Clare O'Neil, as she runs around with One Nation living rent free in her head 😂

@AGJamesUthmeier Thank you!

Today, we launched an investigation into OpenAI and ChatGPT. AI should advance mankind, not destroy it. We’re demanding answers on OpenAI’s activities that have hurt kids, endangered Americans, and facilitated the recent FSU mass shooting. Wrongdoers must be held accountable.

@DavidSacks @alexrs2k @xai Isn’t it telling that @meta @OpenAI @claudeai @perplexity_ai and @Google haven’t commenced similar legal action?

Kudos to @xAI for being the first AI company to challenge a Colorado law requiring it to censor truthful answers if they could have a “differential impact” on protected groups. This is Woke AI. It teaches AI models to lie. And it’s a violation of the First Amendment.

@OMGTheMess It is communism 101. Very very sad that Australia is turning into a third world dictatorship under the weak, woke and stupid @AlboMP

That is the most ridiculous medal ever. No wonder Lockdown Barbie has chests full of medals.

@SBakerMD @Nicholas_Hayes1 As are both my parents. We are all brothers in the rugby community.

1991, I had just dropped out of medical school to go play semi-professional rugby in New Zealand. I was 22 years old, working out at a place called Sgt Rock’s gym in Galveston Texas, while going to medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch. The owner of the gym, a guy named Paul McCartney, not the Beatle, was a chiropractor who was the captain of the local rugby team, which was coincidentally affiliated with the medical school. Now at the time I was 6’5” about 240lbs, I could squat over 500 lbs and deadlift over 600, was lean, fast and could jump out of the gym. He somewhat jokingly, but was also being serious, told me that if I wanted to continue to train at his gym then I needed to come play rugby for his team. I thought about it for a few days and thought, what the heck, it could be fun. I went out to my first practice and learned about scrums, rucks, knock ons and how to tackle people. A few other medical school students were there as well as a mixture of a bunch of locals include the Lopez brothers, Steve, John and Chris “AKA Chowder Head”. I picked things up reasonably well and the first match they stuck me out on the wing. Usually, that position was for smaller fast guys and the guy playing opposite of me on the other team was like 90lbs lighter than me. The wing runs around a fair bit but doesn’t often get the ball very often. My first game was fairly uneventful as I recall. Eventually as I got a bit more familiar with the game I was moved into what known as “the pack”. Where I played what is called second row or lock and eventually some time at number 8, which honestly is one of the best positions in the game in my opinion. Anyway, I start my journey with the local club team and by the end of the season I get selected to be on the All Texas team, and shortly after that the all Western US team. I can remember becoming obsessed with rugby to the point that medical school became a thing I had to do between practice and matches. About halfway through my second year of medical school one of our professors, who happened to be from New Zealand starting talking to me about bringing me to New Zealand to play for one of their teams. The team was called Hautapu RFC and it was a team in the premiere division of a region known as the Waikato. They apparently every year recruited a foreigner to help fill out their side, often South Africans and sometimes Americans. They said they would fly me out, house me, feed me and pay me a small salary. Honestly the decision for me was pretty simple. Get payed to go play a sport that was a blast or toil away in medical school. Needless to say, I chose the more fun option and a few weeks later I was on my way to New Zealand. The medical professors thought I was nuts and asks me to reconsider, my parents

@BusinessTechSA I am “shocked and surprised”, not.

South African taxpayers face the possibility of higher taxes in the future as the tax base continues to shrink, mainly due to skilled individuals leaving the country. businesstech.co.za/news/finance/8…

@SincDavidson It was a communist style arrest staged by the AFP. Those involved in the decision should be sued in the personal capacity.

Has anyone explained how Channel Nine was able to get a camera crew onto a high security airport apron?

Today, @xAI sued Colorado to stop a new law (SB24-205) that would force Grok to promote the state’s ideological views on various matters, racial justice in particular. Colorado wants to force Grok to follow its views on equity and race, instead of being maximally truth-seeking. Grok answers to evidence, not woke leftist government regulations. ft.com/content/55e8cb…

@JCChristopher They attack perceived status when they know they can’t beat your argument.

Every time someone lets a TSLQ bear up on the speaker board of a Space, they inevitably come at me with the fact that I am "just an Uber driver". I don't mind this whatsoever. I'm proud of what I have chosen to do at this point in my life. So please don't feel like you have to go for the jugular on any of them with this. The only thing I would ask is that you remember that they say these things, this is actually how they think. And that when they say this, they are talking about good hard working/working class people trying to earn a living for their families. This is what TSLQ decides to use as an argument against me, how pathetic it must be to be an Uber driver. But I enjoy doing it, and will continue doing it. And will proudly have the term "Uber driver" in my X account bio.

@Moustache_bq @xAIMemphis Apply the same rule to yourself.

@xAIMemphis You should stop making grand promises on X and actually show the completion of the project. We are not kids. Finish the plant first before asking for applause. No offense.

xAI is committed to building a state-of-the-art water recycling plant in Memphis. This plant will protect billions of gallons of water each year. The team is currently prioritizing other more immediate projects at the site but our plans to build the water plant have not changed.

Posts like this show that @CyrilRamaphosa is lying (again) and @realDonaldTrump policy regarding refugees is aimed at the most deserving people.

@Heal_within96 @BBCNews That is false.

@BBCNews White South Africans. Be specific. Black South Africans never leave their country.

US has let in 4,499 refugees since October - all but three were South African bbc.in/4tBPLTG

@cb_doge This reflects poorly on @Meta and @Accenture This is why nobody trusts either of them.

🚨 WhatsApp’s “end-to-end encrypted” privacy is a total lie. New class-action lawsuit just dropped: Meta secretly let employees, contractors like Accenture, and third parties read, intercept, and store your private messages WITHOUT consent. All while marketing it as “only you and the recipient can read it.” Zuck lied to billions. Your chats were never safe.
