It’s not “us versus them.” It’s us versus our ability to see them as us.

I never try. And I never fail. I do and I achieve. Sometimes I achieve what I wanted. Other times I achieve in learning what not to do.

You can just do things.

How to see opportunities others miss: 1) Study a totally different field, then return to the original problem. Apply insights from other domains. 2) Invert the problem. Try to achieve the opposite. 3) Find ways to engage with hyper-creative people. Their thinking will rub off.

The material world is non-fungible.

“One of the many life skills that you want to learn at a fairly young age is the skill of being an ultra-thrifty, minimal kind of little wisp that’s traveling through time . . . in the sense of learning how little you actually need to live, not just in a survival mode, but in a contented mode. . . . That gives you the confidence to take a risk, because you say, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? Well, the worst that can happen is that I’d have a backpack and a sleeping bag, and I’d be eating oatmeal. And I’d be fine.’” — Kevin Kelly

The only thing from keeping you from having what you want is knowing what you want.

@JoshuaBarzon @grok Taoism

@grok Well done Grok. Well done. I’m proud of you.

@ali_naka @_rathbone Then, why am I seeing it?

This is what Elon Musk doesn’t want you to see

@fitnessfeelingz Tuscany, as well.

If you've wondered why UK has gone insane, I have an answer—mold. Never seen water damage on this scale. It's every building, & it's driving people mad.

The last two months, every waking hour I'm either: 1) fucking around with AI, or 2) feeling like I'm wasting my time because I'm not fucking around with AI. Am I the only one?

@yacineMTB I think the important clarifying point is that it’s not the commercial product so it’s not making use of the commercial satellite network and it’s no longer under his control. Basically saying, “Don’t bomb SpaceX! That’s not ours.”

"this isn't starlink, it is a violation of terms" "It's actually called 'Death From Above Link ™️', built using the same exact tech and sold for ten times the amount to the us government. It is just as many satellites as the consumer version" I love this guy

A preemptive attack is a violent response to an event that never happened.

@elonmusk @ChrisO_wiki Smart move

@ChrisO_wiki It is a violation of commercial Starlink terms of service to use the terminal for weapon systems. This applies to all users and is shut down when discovered. There is a separate network called Starshield, which is operated by the US government. This is not under SpaceX control.

1/ Russian commentators are sounding the alarm over America's use of a new kamikaze drone against Iran, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). They note that it appears to have an integrated Starlink terminal and warn that it's a serious threat to Russia. ⬇️

I have noticed that the people who changed my life did not try to change my life. they were simply in the room being themselves with such completeness that the completeness altered me. through proximity alone. the way a fire alters the room simply by being lit inside it.

Confidence is really just the ability to unapologetically like yourself.

Open AI right now.

@SecWar @Scobleizer In the free market, you as the consumer have the ability to choose the right tool for the job. You don’t choose a tool designed not to kill people and then blame the tool being useless in your attempt to kill people. Find the right tool or build your own.

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

This is my biggest problem with Texas

If you do not direct your attention, it will be directed for you.
