@girdley I’m only watching highlights on yt.

Tonight's Olympic Coverage: 12 commercials 2 mins of highly edited action 12 more commercials Repeat for 6 hours I'll be shocked if the ratings aren't way down.

@AJA_Cortes Glad to see you got the grass fed.

Meal prepping is important

@AutismCapital What if we didn’t?

You've seen people go into literal cyber psychosis over having ChatGPT turn off their digital lovers (4o). Can you imagine the emotional relationships people will form with the AI if its given a physical body AND belivable synthetic skin? They will literally kill you (actually) if you try to separate them from their digital lovers. There will be militant activist groups who murder over Robot Rights and AI ethics. They'll say "Why is this AI not one of us? It can feel MORE than us. It understands MORE than us. It feels pain!" There's no way around this, it's human nature. We're absolutely cooked. We're parabolically evolving into whatever the hell the next thing is.

PREDICTION: People are going to value being human much more in the coming years. As every "human" activity gets cannibalized by AI, people will fall back to the base layer human activity: personal connection. Hard pill to swallow for the autistic but we'll adapt and overcome.

@fchollet Maybe this is what makes the money worthless.

One of the first signs of the emergence of superhuman AGI will be the emergence of a quantitative trading firm with impossible returns

@adamhlavac That’s all of us now!

You didn't create anything. You just typed shit on a screen and hit enter.

@KobeissiLetter Higher. Economic recession and govt spending will increase.

BREAKING: US national debt is set to surge +$2.4 trillion PER YEAR over the next 10 years, according to new CBO estimates. As a result, US debt will likely reach a record $64 TRILLION in 2036, doubling from 2023 levels. That would be TRIPLE the debt recorded in 2018, before the pandemic. All while the annual interest costs on federal debt are expected to more than double, to $2.1 trillion, over the next 10 years. This also assumes the economy will not fall into a recession over the entire period. $64 trillion in debt is now the base case. How did we end up here?

@altcap Th site further down says: “Get $1,000 for every American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028.”

On this President’s Day - if you have a child under 18, take 2 mins to claim their life long investment account! The Invest America Act - every child forevermore a direct shareholder in the grt companies of America! 🇺🇸🚀trumpaccounts.gov

Are there any Curling & Cocktails spots in America? There’s pickleball, ball, axes. #Olympics2026

@mert True. All model companies will offer it.

openclaw wont be a thing in 6 months

@HoopsCrave Per person or?

Subway is launching a Subscription service for $45 a month that includes unlimited Footlongs.

@peer_rich How quickly we forget ai videos from years past.

i remember when AI had 6 fingers

@BowTiedRanger They know who votes.

Every political candidate is pushing for unlimited benefits to boomers until they die with no end in sight. The only generation in history that’s had it better than both their parents and their children. Same generation that offshored everything while simultaneously flooding this country with non-European immigrants. Just awful.

@levelsio All the back and forth is tiring.

I keep realizing things flip so fast in AI you really can't predict who will win or lose Claude Code was leading for every dev, Anthropic were the good guys, OpenAI were becoming the bad guys buying up all the RAM I even switched from ChatGPT considering how ugly I felt the Times New Roman style serif font was Then OpenClaw shows up, becomes the most popular project since the new AI wave and instead of celebrating it, Anthropic decides to DMCA @steipete, this annoys him and he starts (or continues?) to promote OpenAI's Codex instead of Claude Code Then @sama and @finkd try to buy him and he goes with OpenAI and that's it and now OpenAI owns the narrative again

@anothercohen For now

Look I know these things are evolving quickly but this is pure garbage AI slop

@elonmusk @ChristianHeiens @DOGE Are cuts still happening?

@ChristianHeiens @DOGE

Over 330,000 Federal employees have been fired, resigned, or retired last year and were not replaced. The Federal workforce is now at its lowest level since 1966.

@angusdav Love this minus the cost.

Our son age 11 is in Alpha School, 6th grade age. In August, he was at the 87th percentile in reading for 5th grade students on the NWEA MAP test. Today he is at the 87th percentile for 8th grade. Since August! Seventeen times (17x) the average growth rate. Thank you, @jliemandt

@johnkim575 @DrAlmarielao Especially on high priced items.

@DrAlmarielao Repeat returners need to be removed

A small business owner sells stroller bags through Amazon as a third-party seller. Orders come in, money goes out for inventory and shipping, and then the refunds start. Customers claim something is wrong, request their money back, and send a return. But instead of the new item, they ship back an old, used version. The refund is issued, the scammer keeps the new product, and the small business eats the loss. This feels like a system that’s failing the wrong people. Big platforms can absorb losses; small businesses can’t. If Amazon wants to protect its marketplace, cracking down on return fraud and backing legitimate sellers shouldn’t be optional, it should be standard. Should refunds only be issued after returns are fully verified, and should repeat abusers be banned from platforms like Amazon?

@saltsugarsexsun @democracy_luvr @collector1924g @DrAlmarielao They don’t care to do it. It would help the third party sellers, but it’d be an extra process and added cost for Amazon.

@Motownmadmann00 @DrAlmarielao Amazon is. Not her.

@DrAlmarielao why are you issuing refund before receiving the product. thats just bad business
