For any of you with children, I am offering my new ebook for free this weekend only! This is an encouraging book that uses animals to remind children of the awesome qualities they possess. Check it out! a.co/d/8kn6MOA

@AutismCapital @grok Give me a quick synopsis pf this episode with all of the highlights.

This Bob Lazar Joe Rogan episode is hilarious. Bob is out Joe Rogan-ing Joe Rogan. He’s challenging Joe on everything Joe is saying and it’s a complete role reversal from the Theo Von episode.

@r0ck3t23 Looks like Tesla will be replacing Uber with a few new stories on their latest sprint board.

Uber’s CEO just tried to put a leash on Elon Musk. He called it a strategy. Dara Khosrowshahi: “We think that we will facilitate more autonomous and robotaxi rides than anyone else in the world.” One word buried the whole pitch. Facilitate. Not build. Not own. Not solve what every physicist and engineer in Silicon Valley spent a decade swearing was impossible. Facilitate. Then he addressed Tesla directly. Dara Khosrowshahi: “When the day comes that those Teslas are safe… we’d love to have those Teslas on our platform. But there are plenty of other partners in the space.” Plenty of other partners. He did not speak about Tesla like a civilizational force. He spoke about them like a fleet vendor who might not make the cut. This is how middlemen die. They mistake owning the app for owning the board. Uber looked at full autonomy and saw a plugin. Something to route, tax, and collect rent on. Elon Musk does not build plugins. He is burning billions to solve real-world vision without maps, without lidar, without a single crutch the industry said was mandatory. The hardest AI problem in human history. Uber’s entire strategy is a tollbooth at someone else’s finish line. Then Dara said something that gave it all away. Dara Khosrowshahi: “We’ve got tens of thousands of Teslas on our platform now, and some of our drivers use FSD.” Read that again. Uber’s own drivers are running Tesla’s neural net on live routes right now. Every shift they complete is a training run. Every mile they log sharpens the model. Every fare they collect is edge case data Musk did not have to pay for. Uber is funding its own execution. The human driver is the scaffolding. They are teaching the machine that will dissolve them, one ride at a time. Dara believes he is in control because he owns the routing layer. Routing is a road. Intelligence decides where roads get built. When you own the intelligence, you don’t negotiate the toll. You build a new road. Dara is optimizing a tollbooth on a road Elon is about to delete. The app doesn’t lose. It stops making sense. The car comes. No driver. No platform. No fare. Just the destination. That’s not disruption. That’s an obituary.

@bryan_johnson Dobermans are amazing

I'm thinking about getting two dogs. What breeds should I consider?

@camjordan94 Regardless of what happens, know you are very appreciated as a Saint. One of the best players to ever put on the Saints uniform.

Is this wow worthy news? 😂 7th season of 10+ sacks🫡 deterred for 2 seasons prior via moved to dt, the season before that-tore a few ligaments in my leg & fought off IR by proving I could still help my team & play the run,giving up on tangible stats.

@PGuy77 Tyrann was the first answer that popped in my head for this question. He changed the outcome of the games he played in more than any others. If we’re talking combos, my answer would be Burrow + Chase/Jefferson. For an individual, it’s Mathieu.

I’ll answer like I always do when talking about defensive players at #LSU. Glenn Dorsey was great. Patrick Peterson was great. There’s only a handful of players in college football history I’ve seen do what they did. I’ve NEVER seen anyone do what Tyrann Mathieu did.

@PlanetGlitch87 @AV2132 @jbloom514 @ScottiePippen @grok @game5ball The others here are right. You are confirming via the rule that you are wrong.

@AV2132 @jbloom514 @ScottiePippen @grok @game5ball Thanks, it’s working

Let's try this again. 👇🏾 Drop your answers below. Trivia: Is this a 2 or a 3 point play? @grok @game5ball

@iamklausenburg Tbh i wouldn’t like either of these.

Men, You have two ladies that you are actively vetting to make your wife. Lady A and Lady B. The photos below are their features and you are to factor them in before making a choice. Which would you choose and why?

@MLFootball He has to be with those stats.

TRUE OR FALSE: IS LEGENDARY #49ERS RUNNING BACK FRANK GORE A HALL OF FAMER…? 5× Pro Bowl Second‑Team All‑Pro NFL 2010s All‑Decade Team Career: 16,000 rushing yards (3rd all‑time) 4.3 yards/carry 81 rushing TDs 484 receptions 3,985 receiving yards

This is the other end of the spectrum from his solution. The 3-4 companies resist and potentially they have a robot army to fight against. Do they fight the gov who will also likely have access to robots and the people as well? Seems unlikely. Would they use their money to fight back via lobbying like they do now? Yes, probably.

@rajuvamsi007 @DrSuneelDhand If 3-4 companies produce everything, what makes you think they would allow governments to tax them at 70%. More likely they build their own armies with their hordes of cash, and the governments of the world are run by those companies... techno-feudalism.

Nobody has yet been able to answer the question: If AI is going to cause mass unemployment and lack of income, then who is going to buy all of the stuff that is produced in the consumer economy? If nobody is there to buy anything, how will any corporations make money?

@rajuvamsi007 @DrSuneelDhand This is the answer but I think to get here there will probably be some turmoil along the way.

1. 3-4 AI companies produce all goods & services 2. Government taxes 70% of all produced goods and services 3. Government distributes this 70% as UBI every human 4. 70% of UBI is used to pay the AI companies for basic life activities -like food, air, water etc. 4. The remaining 30% is spent on smaller human companies for discretionary spending - leisure, enjoyment, sports, gardening etc. Everyone has access to all the knowledge. You can choose to enjoy by playing sports or gardening or doing research in the topic you want to learn about and invent new things. No one needs to work to survive

@bensig While many of these are true, I believe the arts (including sports) will be around for a long time. It’s the imperfectness, the underdog, and the perseverance that’s interesting to humans. AI cannot replicate that.

Get ready to lose your job…

@VigilantFox @WesleyHuntTX Now this is a smart man! Telling it like it is.

MIC DROP: Rep. @WesleyHuntTX FIRES BACK at Gavin Newsom’s “I’m like you” 960 SAT remark to a room full of Black voters. “Gavin, you’re not like me. I studied my butt off to get here!” “Under no circumstances are you going to just belittle us by assuming that all Black people have a 960 SAT and we could barely read.” “I had parents who believed in education. We had a sign in our house that said, ‘Jesus + education equals success.’” “There’s a reason why I earned three master’s degrees in four years from Cornell University. My brother is a Harvard Business School graduate. My sister has her master’s degree in Applied Mathematics. She was a West Point instructor while both my brother and I were cadets, and WE WERE BLACK doing it the entire time.” “And so when you say that I can’t read and I have a 960 SAT, the insinuation that you are putting on all Black people is that we are a monolith, that this is how you view us.” “I call it the soft bigotry of low expectations.” “I think about Hillary Clinton carrying hot sauce in her purse. I think about Joe Biden saying, ‘If you don’t vote for me, then you ain’t Black.’ I think about Kathy Hochul talking about ‘Black kids don’t even know what a computer is.’ And I see these kinds of things, and I just shake my head.” “I worked my butt off to get here. Hard work, grit, determination, and I’m standing on my own two feet as a Black man that represents a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 20 points, and I won by 25 points because I’m being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character.”

@willreil @MrBeast 5M is safer. You take control of your destiny and you don’t need to worry about what happens if Mr Beast runs into any financial challenges. If the 50k/month is guaranteed then it might be a different convo.

@MrBeast I would take $50,000 a month. That’s $600k a year, which is 12% of $5m that you can the reinvest at market rates. In year 8 you will have $5m and still be earning $50k a month plus the interest you earn on your money. $50k a month is better than $5,000,000 at all points.

If you won Beast Games would you rather take $5,000,000 upfront or $50,000 a month for life?

@MrBeast $5M upfront

@zainenn @HustleBitch_ There must be more to it than that. At $69, you don't need insurance. If you lose it, you lose it. You wouldn't care (except for your belongings).

@HustleBitch_ Oh, I didn't get it until he looked out the window and he can see the bay. Tsunami insurance is unavailable I'm sure. Make it a vacation airbnb.

🚨 HE BOUGHT A HOUSE IN JAPAN FOR $69 — AND FILMED THE FIRST WALKTHROUGH An American man says he bought this house in Japan for $69 after seeing only a few listing photos. In the video, he unlocks it for the first time on camera and walks through the entire property. Three bedrooms. Bathroom and laundry. Back patio overlooking the port. A ferry to a UNESCO site visible in the distance. Fish market a few blocks away. The structure is intact. Electrical panel working. Modern toilet. Built-in storage. Some belongings still left behind. Japan has millions of vacant homes, especially in smaller coastal cities. Some are sold extremely cheap to attract buyers willing to renovate. In the U.S., $69 barely covers a dinner out. Different market. Different incentives. Would you take on something like this if the price was real?

@Variety My favorite movie of all time!

#MatthewMcConaughey reveals Kylie Jenner surprised Timothée Chalamet with a private IMAX screening of “Interstellar” for his birthday last year: “I was grumpy on the way because I didn’t know where she was taking me,” Chalamet says. “I was like, ‘It’s my birthday. Why are we driving 30 minutes outside of L.A.?’ I got to the theater, it was ‘Interstellar’ in IMAX. I said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’” A @CNN & Variety Town Hall Event: Timothée Chalamet and Matthew McConaughey” airs Saturday, February 21 at 7p ET/PT on CNN and streams on the CNN app.

@FastbreakHoops5 Is Curry a good ball handler? Absolutely. Top 3, though? No, I wouldn't say so.

Are these the 3 best ball handlers in NBA history? 🤔

@Erhard_Grey @TheRealSantino It's a good point. I think other weapons would be more effective against electronics than traditional guns, though.

@TheRealSantino LOL, do you think videos like these will actually scare the second amendment loving Americans? Most of those rednecks would be chomping at the bit to shoot it moving targets without the moral implications of shooting people or dogs...

BREAKING: China's autonomous "killer robots" are on track to serve its military on the battlefield within two years, setting a course for a new age of AI-powered warfare which one expert called "the greatest danger to the survival of humankind." Remote forms of warfare, from drones to cyberattacks, have played an increasingly central role in this century's theatres of war. Control of the skies with unmanned aerial vehicles has been critical issue in the ongoing war in Ukraine, and last week, the U.S. Department of Defense unveiled a fresh $1 billion investment to upgrade its drone fleet. Several major powers have taken this development a step further, and begun to develop fully autonomous, AI-powered "killer robots" to replace their soldiers on the battlefield. "I would be surprised if we don't see autonomous machines coming out of China within two years," Francis Tusa, a leading defence analyst, told National Security News. He added that China was developing new AI-powered ships, submarines, and aircraft at a "dizzying rate." "They are moving four or five times faster than the States," he warned. China and Russia are already reported to have collaborated on the development of AI-powered autonomous weaponry. Per Newsweek
