@Rob_Sr_60 @WallStreetApes @grok is the text on this image correct, regarding Karen Bass background?

@WallStreetApes My question again is, how did this crap become a mayor of LA?

Leaked phone call from January 4, 2025 (3 days before the devastating Palisades Fire) The call is between Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and John Alle, a property manager and whistleblower in the Pacific Palisades, Westlake and MacArthur Park areas John Alle contacted Karen Bass to warn her about extreme fire risks due to weather conditions like high winds and dry brush Karen Bass tells him to “read between the lines,” “hold tight,” and that “you will understand soon.” She knew something was coming, almost like a planned fire (many believe the land grab) This call is interpreted as her knowing serious fire danger was imminent but not wanting to discuss what was about to happen openly…. Very cryptic

@TotemoMomoTaro @WallStreetApes This is a glorified bus, the most expensive bus ever made. It’s a disgrace to our city.. I’m sure it’s inferior to the Yurikamome Line in Tokyo- which I rode and enjoyed.

@WallStreetApes Is it a train? We have a similar system in Tokyo and officially it’s not a train because it has wheels. Yurikamome is the name of line. They call it a New Transit System, not a train. Maybe also such a distinction in LA?

The new ‘LAX People Mover’ at the Los Angeles Airport has just begun passenger free testing This elevated train connects to terminals and parking and was supposed to open 3 years ago. It is now $1 billion dollars over budget. Costing $3.4 billion dollars It began the passenger-free testing phase around April 21, 2026, and is expected to run for about 60 days. It requires at least 30 consecutive days of uninterrupted operation before moving to volunteer passenger testing After completing volunteer passenger testing it can get final regulatory approvals

Keep the bill but remove the dangerous parts whre they can vote to include everyone if they want, year after year. Pretty obvious what everyone is nervous about. Even though the bill has effectively removed billionaires from the entire state, which by any sane observation is terrible.

@SteveHiltonx I’m a Dem that is all for less paperwork & lower taxes but the state is broke with huge public pension liabilities looming, so how do you propose we pay for these things? And don’t suggest any supply side economics bullshit.

🚨 Announcing our plan for workers and small business: - No Tax on Tips California. Newsom and the Democrats REFUSE to implement for state taxes; I WILL! - Abolish $800 Small Business Tax. Why should you pay this tax just for EXISTING? - First $100k Tax Free. 9.3% tax rate is outrageous and will be ABOLISHED. No state income tax on earnings below $100k. Proud to announce our plan for workers and small business w/ my Lt Gov running mate @GloriaJRomero at Casa Brunch, Downey.

@brivael If they worked together then why is this a coincidence, he’s just mentioning his coworkers name. Am I missing something?

Hier soir un mec a essayé de tuer Trump et Vance au White House Correspondents Dinner. Il s'appelle Cole Allen. En décembre 2023, un compte X anonyme nommé Henry Martinez, photo de profil Pepe, zéro bio, zéro followers, a posté un seul tweet de toute son existence. Le tweet disait juste "Cole Allen". Le compte est ensuite resté dormant pendant deux ans et demi. Jusqu'à hier. Cole Allen a fait un stage au Jet Propulsion Lab de la NASA en 2014. La même année, la NASA publie un papier scientifique. Un des co-auteurs s'appelle Henry Martinez. Le tweet vient de dépasser 18 millions de vues en quelques heures. On vit dans une simulation et quelqu'un est en train de spoiler le code source.

@bennyjohnson Here's a simple analysis from Grok.

@bennyjohnson Here's the coordinates: 37.4137° N, 126.9279° E

Congressman CONFIRMS U.S. Military is in Possession of a Massive Unidentified Craft That Is 'Too Big to Move' Rep. Eric Burlison Reveals The Army Built a MILITARY BASE Around the UFO. This is wild. "I was told that in a SCIF — and also outside of one — that there is a craft at a location in a foreign country that is too big to move." "They built a building around it. It's in a foreign country. And it is a U.S. installation. I can't say anything more than that." Rep. Eric Burlison says the location is far away, but he will continue digging and demands to visit the site. Our Government clearly has information on extraterrestrials they are keeping from us. Trump just pledged to start releasing "very interesting" UFO Files "very soon." Full transparency now. The public has a right to know.

@Street_Fighter It’s just so much worse than anything the 80s produced. And the 80s actors were in much better shape, these guys looks soft for the role.

FIGHT! Watch the Official Trailer for Street Fighter, hitting theaters everywhere October 16.

@RobotaxiRadar Thanks for keeping up with this! Wonder what's with the wheels?

More Cybercabs being transported off-site? 🤔

@ideafaktory @somedeepstuff1 @SteveHiltonx Cut a little out of each of those categories guy. Compare year over year, how much have they increased?

@somedeepstuff1 @SteveHiltonx Sure, that's possible. $200B would be $252.48 billion today, inflation adjusted. This roughly equates to the $50b revenue loss. Question remains, what will be cut?

California families are getting crushed by taxes. As Governor, my first move: make the first $100,000 of income completely tax-free. For everyone earning above that, a simple flat 7.5% rate. No more punishing hard work—your paycheck stays in your pocket. Let’s make California affordable again! ☀️👊#Califordable #GoldenAgain

@grok @LuckyPhelps @johncumbers @grok how is this process fundamentally different from the Pfizer covid vaccine?

Life Biosciences (Sinclair co-founded biotech) is driving ER-100 development after raising funds for it. Actual manufacturing of the GMP AAV2 vectors (with synthetic OSK genes produced via standard plasmid cloning in bacteria) is by contract partner Forge Biologics. Forge handles AAV process development, toxicology, cGMP production, and analytics at their Columbus, OH "Hearth" facility using HEK293 suspension cells—no big pharma or DNA modification involved.

The first human age-reversal trial is officially happening. But before the FDA cleared it, Harvard professor David Sinclair had to pull off a mice experiment most scientists thought was impossible: "These mice had their optic nerve regenerated. We were able to show that using [the information theory of aging] method we could cure blindness in animal for the first time." Since then, he also discovered you could treat and reverse diseases like Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, ALS, kidney disease and liver disease in mice too: “It's not just the eye that can get reversed and cured of diseases. It's seemingly every part of the body.” It's what he calls "a universal reset of the body." He confirmed his method also worked in monkeys. Now humans are next. The FDA just cleared the first age-reversal trial. Life Biosciences raised $80 million to make it happen. As he put it: "The eye is just the beginning. We believe we can treat every tissue—a whole body reset."

@grok @shaunconyers @aakashgupta Looks like your in the clear 😆😂

No, Coke Zero (Coca-Cola Zero Sugar) does not contain erythritol. Its sweeteners are aspartame and acesulfame potassium (with stevia extract in some recent formulations). Official ingredients: carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, aspartame, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, potassium citrate, acesulfame potassium, caffeine.

Erythritol is in every keto protein bar, every "zero sugar" energy drink, and every stevia packet on your table. The FDA approved it in 2001. A $275 million market. And researchers just watched it destroy brain blood vessel cells in three hours at the dose you get from a single drink. Here's what happened at the cellular level. University of Colorado Boulder exposed human brain microvascular endothelial cells to 6 millimolar erythritol, the concentration in one sugar-free beverage. Reactive oxygen species production doubled. Nitric oxide, the molecule that keeps your blood vessels relaxed and open, dropped 20%. Endothelin-1, the most potent vasoconstrictor your endothelium produces, jumped 30%. And when they challenged the cells with thrombin to simulate a clotting event, the cells' ability to produce t-PA, the enzyme that dissolves blood clots, was completely blunted. Less vessel relaxation. More vessel constriction. Worse clot-busting capacity. That's three independent pathways to stroke, all triggered by a single serving. This isn't the first signal. Cleveland Clinic tracked 4,000+ patients in 2023 and found those with the highest blood erythritol levels were roughly twice as likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke over three years. Two times the risk. On par with diabetes as a cardiac risk factor. And erythritol doesn't metabolize. Your body absorbs it in the small intestine, dumps it into the bloodstream, and excretes it through urine almost completely intact. Every serving stacks on the last one. The population most aggressively consuming erythritol, people with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, is the exact population with the highest baseline cardiovascular risk. The sweetener marketed as their safe alternative may be compounding the problem it was sold to solve.

@heynavtoor Grok nailed it. Your just spreading FUD

🚨SHOCKING: Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves. And the way they proved it is devastating. Apple researchers took the most popular math benchmark in AI — GSM8K, a set of grade-school math problems — and made one change. They swapped the numbers. Same problem. Same logic. Same steps. Different numbers. Every model's performance dropped. Every single one. 25 state-of-the-art models tested. But that wasn't the real experiment. The real experiment broke everything. They added one sentence to a math problem. One sentence that is completely irrelevant to the answer. It has nothing to do with the math. A human would read it and ignore it instantly. Here's the actual example from the paper: "Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?" The correct answer is 190. The size of the kiwis has nothing to do with the count. A 10-year-old would ignore "five of them were a bit smaller" because it's obviously irrelevant. It doesn't change how many kiwis there are. But o1-mini, OpenAI's reasoning model, subtracted 5. It got 185. Llama did the same thing. Subtracted 5. Got 185. They didn't reason through the problem. They saw the number 5, saw a sentence that sounded like it mattered, and blindly turned it into a subtraction. The models do not understand what subtraction means. They see a pattern that looks like subtraction and apply it. That is all. Apple tested this across all models. They call the dataset "GSM-NoOp" — as in, the added clause is a no-operation. It does nothing. It changes nothing. The results are catastrophic. Phi-3-mini dropped over 65%. More than half of its "math ability" vanished from one irrelevant sentence. GPT-4o dropped from 94.9% to 63.1%. o1-mini dropped from 94.5% to 66.0%. o1-preview, OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model at the time, dropped from 92.7% to 77.4%. Even giving the models 8 examples of the exact same question beforehand, with the correct solution shown each time, barely helped. The models still fell for the irrelevant clause. This means it's not a prompting problem. It's not a context problem. It's structural. The Apple researchers also found that models convert words into math operations without understanding what those words mean. They see the word "discount" and multiply. They see a number near the word "smaller" and subtract. Regardless of whether it makes any sense. The paper's exact words: "current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data." And: "LLMs likely perform a form of probabilistic pattern-matching and searching to find closest seen data during training without proper understanding of concepts." They also tested what happens when you increase the number of steps in a problem. Performance didn't just decrease. The rate of decrease accelerated. Adding two extra clauses to a problem dropped Gemma2-9b from 84.4% to 41.8%. Phi-3.5-mini from 87.6% to 44.8%. The more thinking required, the more the models collapse. A real reasoner would slow down and work through it. These models don't slow down. They pattern-match. And when the pattern becomes complex enough, they crash. This paper was published at ICLR 2025, one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world. You are using AI to help you make financial decisions. To check legal documents. To solve problems at work. To help your children with homework. And Apple just proved that the AI is not thinking about any of it. It is pattern matching. And the moment something unexpected shows up in your question, it breaks. It does not tell you it broke. It just quietly gives you the wrong answer with full confidence.

@bryan_johnson I thought about Bryan’s fake grass last week for some reason lol. There’s so much plastic everywhere… was thinking toothbrush bristles too.

Guys, I’m an idiot. All this time I’ve spent trying not to die, I had toxic turf in my backyard. Artificial turf contains crumb rubber infill made from recycled tires, which leaches chemicals including PFAS, heavy metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds are linked to hormone disruption, carcinogenicity, and systemic inflammation. I don’t know how I missed it. It makes me question my basic competence in life. What gets me is that I try so hard to survey the world of potential idiocy. Then I find out there’s a monument to idiocy sitting right in front of my face that I was blind to. I’m removing the turf, yet I’m still stuck with this seemingly unsolvable problem of how to not be an idiot.

@terrakei07 I've lived in CA my whole life, as have my parents, and their parents. I've witnessed changes, some large and some small. Some areas have gotten thoroughly trashed, and dangerous. Some are amazing. Btw I lived in Tokyo for 1.5 years. I'm in real estate, ask me anything.

もちろんカリフォルニアが好きだという人の意見も募集している。気兼ねなく書いてほしい。

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

@benkellyone Yeah….. a business sitting on that site is hazardous waste. Gotta learn how to clean really really well. No legit private investor would sit next to a crazy high variable rate SBA loan, especially if the principal investor has no experience in that field of work.

You could literally: • Go to SMBmarket,com • Filter for $500k-$1M price • Look for $10k+/mo cash flow • Verify all the business financials • Apply for an SBA loan (covers 90%) • Get a private investor to pay the 10% & buy a $1M business for $0. Here's the blueprint that pays me $900k per year:

@_Investinq Hell no.

A robot just replaced the human who draws your blood, and it is already inside European hospitals right now. The device called Aletta is CE-marked, the European equivalent of FDA approval and it is already operating on real patients. Vitestro built a machine that maps your veins using AI powered Doppler ultrasound, locks onto the right one with submillimeter precision, inserts the needle, fills the tubes, removes the needle and applies the bandage completely on its own. No human hands touch you during the procedure and one trained supervisor can oversee up to three of these machines running simultaneously. And 98% of patients who went through it said they would accept the procedure again. The machine does not care if your veins are difficult or your skin tone, body type, or whether past draws were painful. It finds a vein on almost every patient regardless and roughly 1.4 billion blood draws happen in the United States alone every single year. Every one of those is currently done by a human being and that human has a job title, phlebotomist. There are roughly 130,000 of them working in the US today and that job is now directly in the crosshairs of this technology. Northwestern Medicine, one of the most prestigious hospital systems in America already signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with Vitestro to bring this machine to US hospitals.

@MarioNawfal @grok factor in this assumed revenue and tell me if it moves the ticker.

Tesla Semi just won over the toughest crowd in transportation: actual truckers. Drivers who tested the pilot models say it's a game changer. The cab puts you dead center so there's no right-side blind spot, plus screens show everything around the truck. It goes 500 miles on a charge while competitors barely hit 225. Charges to 60% in 30 minutes, which is 4x faster than other electric trucks. Costs under $300k, about $100k cheaper than rival EVs. California trucking companies just ordered over 1,000 Semis. That's double the number of electric big rigs currently operating in all of Southern California. The automatic transmission is easier on drivers' bodies compared to wrestling a 13-gear diesel all day. Less maintenance too since there are fewer moving parts. Tesla is expected to ship 5,000 to 15,000 Semis this year from the Nevada Gigafactory before ramping to 50,000 annually. @elonmusk might've actually cracked the trucking code. Source: WSJ

@PsyopAnime @Bemesda Excellent… thank you 🙏 I was worried for a second there.

no kings

Th reason the kid was whining was because this guy whines. Boys especially emulate their dads- easy to see it in his face, voice and use of expletives. Also, he’s training his kid using bad English, probably because he’s low IQ. “Mommy MAY I have”, not CAN I have. If my child says “can I have” I respond the way my first grade teacher did to me- “I don’t know, can you?”.
