a friend’s boomer parents bought their home for $67,000 in 1993. Today, it’s worth ~$1,200,000 and he’s their only son so he thought he’d be a millionaire when they die but they just sold the house last week to enjoy their retirement 💀

🦔 Meta contractors in Kenya told Swedish newspapers they're being asked to review intimate footage from Ray-Ban AI glasses, including people undressing, using the bathroom, watching porn, and filming sex. One contractor said users often don't realize they're still recording when they set the glasses down. Meta sold 7 million pairs in 2025, up from 2 million in 2023-2024 combined. Users can't use the AI features without agreeing to share data with Meta's servers, and the terms of service bury the fact that humans may manually review your footage. One annotator said "if they knew about the extent of the data collection, no one would dare to use the glasses." My Take This is the Google Home story again but worse. At least with cameras in your house, you know where they are. These are glasses you wear on your face that keep recording when you take them off and set them on your nightstand. And the footage goes to contractors overseas who are paid to watch and label it for AI training. One worker described seeing a man leave the room, then his wife come in and change clothes. People forget the camera is still on. Meta buries all of this in terms of service nobody reads. The product is marketed as a cool way to capture your life and interact with AI. The reality is strangers in Kenya watching you undress so they can annotate the footage to make Zuckerberg's AI better. Seven million people bought these last year. I'd bet almost none of them understood what they were actually agreeing to. Hedgie🤗

I'm going to revise what I said before. For years Elon has explicitly stated numerous times that FSD will be unsupervised at some future date which has come and gone. To pretend that didn't influence people's decisions to purchase a Tesla and the FSD package would be insincere. I feel at this point that the best way to handle FSD is to allow transfers until it is unsupervised.... This applies to any customer who purchased FSD on their car, HW3 or 4 or whatever. It's the right thing to do. Be good to the customers who love and support Tesla.

Just a reminder why electric vehicles are better than gas cars:

Women grow an entire human being for nine months, push it out of their body, and then are expected to be back in the office in 6-8 weeks and see the baby for a handful of hours a day. We’ve genuinely normalized this. It doesn’t register as insane until you say it out loud.

FSD has gotten so insanely good. I don’t understand why anyone in the market for an EV would buy anything else than a Tesla at this point. Total game changer.

Yeah that's crazy

The Epstein files is a Democrat hoax perpetuated on the American people. Why didn’t Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, or Bill Gates push for Epstein’s arrest or prosecutions of serious wrongdoings by their friends during Obama or Biden years? In President Trump’s first term, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and jailed. In his second, he’s released the files. It’s curious why didn’t these Democrats want Justice before?
