@DeclanSwe @Ric_RTP China open sourced its LLM projects to prove they were as technically capable as the West and to put ROI uncertainty in AI investor’s minds to reduce the amount of money available in the West for the AI arms race. It is a brilliant strategy China created.

@Ric_RTP That’s why China went open source with their LLM projects For example DeepSeek figured out years ago that so called AI cannot be scaled Now AI is the foundation of Wall St they hedged everything on it. It’s a crazy over inflated bubble, that will eventually go pop.

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

@Ric_RTP 3) Having a higher compute cost than employee payroll is not a comment about AI, it is a goal of any software system that hopes to scale because it is successful. There is nothing in that statement about economic value.

@Ric_RTP Your conclusions are flawed and you even contradict yourself. 1) Microsoft didn’t ban its engineers from using AI, they redirected them to use their CoPilot. 2) CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga has said that AI adoption exceeded what they had planned for during budgeting.

@ProudSocialist There are places in the world that you can move to and give socialism a try. Why not give it a try for a few years then report back to us? Thanks

Growing up in America, we are taught from birth to hate socialism. We are told it is the greatest threat to our “freedom,” and most of us believe this lie our entire lives. But some of us wake up and realize under capitalism none of us are free. We are owned by banks, billionaires, and both parties who do their bidding. Propaganda against socialism is a tool our rulers use to keep us obedient and prevent us from questioning how unjust capitalism is. Why should the majority of people spend most of our lives working to enrich a handful of billionaires and corporations? Where is the freedom when billionaires hoard ungodly fortunes through the mass exploitation of our labor and mass extraction of resources that belong to our communities? Where is the freedom when our tax dollars fund endless wars and the killing of children abroad all to further enrich US oligarchs? Where is the freedom when 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford basic needs like housing, healthcare, and groceries? There is no freedom here. We are all prisoners of a corrupt capitalist system that keeps us trapped in the rat race by demonizing the one economic model, socialism, that would put the economy in the hands of the people. Imagine a world where decisions are made to meet the basic needs of the people rather than the endless greed of billionaires. That is socialism, and there is nothing scary about it. What is scary is allowing a handful of billionaires to control our entire economy and make life-or-death decisions for all of humanity. What is even scarier is billionaires and both parties that do their bidding understand their greed has destroyed our society, which is why they are investing so heavily in AI to surveil, replace, and solidify their control over us. If humanity is to have any future, now is the moment to push back and ensure AI is used to benefit all of society, which is only possible by moving from capitalism to socialism.

Missile strike on the Straight of Hormuz as reported by the IRG. 😂😂😂 @elonmusk the Straight of Hormuz might be a great place to land Starship. There aren’t any ships to worry about hitting.

@Patrickwebb My source at the White House says wonderful things about her and gives a personal, family related reason for her resignation.

BREAKING: A source familiar with the matter says Tulsi ​Gabbard was forced to resign by the White House, per Reuters.

@GavinNewsom How are you going to level the playing field? Are you going to subsidize the businesses to make up the difference between their increased expenses compared to the businesses that are outside California’s jurisdiction? Or are you going to restrict outside businesses? Tariffs?

The system is broken. Billionaires get richer. Workers get replaced by algorithms. The economic disruption is here. And California is taking action today. We have to build a future that protects workers, supports small businesses, and ensures the new economy works for everyone, not just a handful of tech companies. It’s time to rewrite the rules to make sure THE PEOPLE benefit.

@DisrespectedThe @wendyp4545 This form factor might not exist but Ukraine is using drones to hunt and kill individual Russian soldiers. There are videos online showing their drones in action.

If you think you're going to have a revolution, you haven't seen this video. This kill drone is made by Palantir. It has facial recognition. You will own nothing and be happy. Or dead.

@DisrespectedThe @wendyp4545 Wow, that should eliminate collateral damage. Imagine, no more school girls accidentally killed. That has to be worth something.

@ProudSocialist Yea, but aren’t most of those small computer rooms at businesses? How many AI data centers does the US have?

US billionaires keep spewing the same lie about how the US needs more data centers to “compete with China,” so I’m going to keep repeating the truth: The US already has 5,381 data centers to China’s 449 and has more data centers than nearly every other country combined. The US needs social housing, universal health care, and modern infrastructure to compete with China, not data centers. That’s how China surpassed the US by investing in its people instead of wars, data centers, and oligarchs like the US.

@skumWgmi Jokes on us because our kids can’t read.

My neighbour is a teacher. Master's degree: $68,000 in debt. Salary: $41,000/year. She buys her own classroom supplies. She works a second job in the summer. The private equity firm that owns her school building cleared $2.3M in profit last year. We built a system that extracts wealth from people who teach our children. And then we give them a coffee mug on Teacher Appreciation Day.

@NotMr_Smith I know a beautiful, yoga fit woman who didn’t have sex with her husband for 2 years. Same thing happened. When I found out the no sex part, she became significantly less attractive to me. What a waste.

I’ve legit seen a wife who hasn’t had sex with her husband in 5 years be genuinely shocked and crushed that he’s having an affair. This level of cognitive dissonance is bugged out to me 🤣

@Ric_RTP @jam_croissant Everyone was right, he is a king and it is nice to be king.

Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history. Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind. Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President. His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history: Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million. That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY. While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling. Now here's where it gets really insane: On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock. Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell." Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99. Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%. And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history. So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high And that's just ONE stock... The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta. He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia. He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise." Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date. He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense. He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker. He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions. Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't. His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades. The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed." But here's what independently managed looks like: Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high. Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips. Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake. Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform. Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades. Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million. Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter. While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks. This isn't a left or right issue. We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses. What do you think?

@skumWgmi Find a rural town that has a new data center being built near it. Here is a resource to help you find them: brockovichdatacenter.com

Dear people who say "just move somewhere cheaper": Where? Rural areas have no jobs. Small cities have no opportunities. Big cities have no affordable housing. We didn't all fail to find the secret affordable cit. The secret affordable city doesn't exist. Yours truly, Everyone under 40

@ProudDemocrat0 @EricLDaugh Dumb Democrat should be your username.

@EricLDaugh MAGA will literally eat shit if the president tells them it's chocolate. Here's your "under 100" oil.

🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: President Trump announces oil and gas companies have informed him they're 100% DITCHING the Strait of Hormuz — and are picking Texas, USA instead They like going through US better. Imagine that. "We've become very big on the filling station. We're a big filling station. And what's happening is, when this first, when people heard about losing Hormuz, they said, oh, this is, it's genius." "They're finding other locations. And some of those people, I spoke to companies in countries. Some of those people are going to continue to go to Texas." "They like it better. They said, it's an extra 45 minutes. They like it better. And it's sort of amazing, you know, it found its way." "So a lot of people thought oil would go to $250, $300. It's not. I mean, today it's at less than a hundred." "Think of that. Now, when this ends, you're going to see a drop like a rock." 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Gamingtronium Because water isn’t the biggest problem for data centers. Isn’t that obvious? They are building many of them in the arid Southwest. No problem.

If water is the biggest problem for data centers So why aren't we building them where water is abundant and free?

@thematrixb0t @FBI what is your opinion of Giancarlo Esposito’s call for revolution and overthrow of the democratically elected US government?

Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito says it's time for a "revolution," says some people would die, but "the rest of us" would survive. "They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up... in Washington, they'll kill a 500, 50 million or however..." "But the rest of us would survive... This is the time for a revolution."

@runthenumberz What does AI have to do with any of this? The timing isn’t because of the AI we have now, which is actually rather dumb. Just because AI enables you to create such images, I’m certain that governments could have created such images before AI existed.

#Breaking - There are two possible scenarios: 1. It is very likely that alien life would begin visiting Earth and making its presence known just as we approach AI superintelligence and advanced robotics. 2. It’s very convenient that UFO/UAP photos and videos are surfacing now, precisely when AI can generate indistinguishable fakes. Example. Only 1 of the 3 photos below is "real" and released by the government. The rest are AI-generated images. Can you tell which one? @timburchett @joerogan @disclosureorg @UAPJames

@AngelaBelcamino Hantavirus is the real deal though so you’ll want to avoid it. Try praying.

I had COVID 6 times. Imagine how many more times I would’ve gotten it if I hadn’t gotten vaccinated, boosted, and worn masks. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to take on hantavirus. Trust the science.

@gman5180 I encourage you to come back via legal means. Mexico is good though so enjoy your time there. Just avoid the Cartel areas.

This guy is IN TEARS because he's been here for 20 years. He says he works hard, pays taxes and doesn't get into trouble. "This is my home, I love this country! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO MEXICO!" What advice would you give to him and others in this situation?👇
