@levelsio And employees in the rest of Europe work hard but we still can't afford a house in the cities where the good jobs are. Sounds like the Portuguese are living a better life.

🇵🇹 If you have ever dealt with any Portuguese business (and I have with many in my 5 years here) you know why Portuguese in Portugal simply do not care about work, some foreigners find that refreshing, but it results in a country where you can't find anyone to do work because nobody wants to work And when they do work, the work is generally bad, like imagine stepping into a time machine back to 1970s bad, they also can't follow the spec you agreed upon beforehand, and then when it's 60% done they disappear and ghost you When we did home renovatiom, you hire ppl, they arrive late at 9am (you agreed 8am), they then drive away to get materials, come back 11am, do actual work for an hour, then at 12noon announce they go for lunch, come back around 2.30pm, walk around a bit, do some work, and then leave early at 4pm It's not just construction workers, it's almost every interaction you have here with a Portuguese business, the quality is just low, the service non-existent or customer-hostile, and it's not the language, I speak fluent Portuguese, I'm respectful and friendly which is why I never ever had this amount of issues elsewhere in the world And I know it's not just my experience, it's everyone I know here, even Portuguese complain about Portuguese! It's not completely their fault though, the hostile tax system for both people and businesses literally gives you an incentive to never ever scale your business beyond I believe around €150,000/year, because you end up in a completely different category and tax tier that decimates you with more taxes and more bookkeeping So every business tries to stay small, and doesn't want more customers (how many times have I walked into a Portuguese cafe or shop and the staff or owner *sighed* "not another customer") Add decades of socialist governments that hand out free money to 50% of the country (and even the right wing parties here are socialist btw, they have to be or they don't get votes) and you don't have any incentive to work left Why work when you don't need to work? The majority of the young smart Portuguese people with actual ambitions understandably move elsewhere, because if there's no incentive to grow a business, there's also no jobs for them, and the whole thing becomes a vicious cycle of increasing poverty Which is why I said Portuguese in Portugal at the beginning of this tweet, because Portuguese outside of Portugal are ambitious, want to work, want to improve their lives! Bringing in lots of foreigners like me by the government as a way to pump money into the system, we spend a lot and it pays for the welfare, healthcare and retirements of Portuguese now, but it's not a structural solution (and we also instantly became the scapegoat for the government's decades of mismanagement) It'd be relatively easy to fix this though if people in Portugal would put on their thinking hat: 💡 Make Portugal a great place to start and run a business, model yourself after Singapore but with extremely low taxes (maybe 5-10%) for companies/startups and make it easy for them to hire (and fire) people, the money you lose in taxes you will get back in increased economic activity over time (but it will hurt for a little bit) Because even the foreigners who move here and start businesses get caught up in the reverse incentive spiral of Portugal: Why even work?

@broke_not_woke @astraiaintel With the amount of damage the US is causing around the world they owe the rest of the world gazillion trillions. It's time that the US knows it's place and the rest of the world to grow some balls to abandon the US entirely.

@astraiaintel Doesn’t that cunt owe the US a trillion dollars?

FUCKING FINALLY!!! ZELENSKY MADE IT CLEAR: “Trump wants a quick end to the war, but “quick” means at someone’s expense. I won’t accept peace at Ukraine’s expense.“ BIG “FUCK YOU” TO MAGA BY THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@GamersNexus @TheEggman64 Because everything in life is perfect on the first iteration... with this logic we wouldn't get anywhere ever.

@TheEggman64 > rather than more powerful hardware > look inside > 2x 5090s to run

Those freaking out about AI face filters are obscuring the bigger picture. DLSS5 offers a generational leap in graphics, made possible with software breakthroughs rather than more powerful hardware. Devs will finesse the application for new releases and they’ll look incredible.

@GamersNexus That's your opinion, I think it looks alot better. Also you can just not use DLSS 5. I usually mostly agree with your guys content/takes but this time your critique doesn't make any sense.

The problem, and I know this is hard to follow, is that it... looks like shit If you smeared dog shit on a camera lens, lit someone's face up with about $8,000 of studio-grade 5500K lighting, and then added some lipstick, you get DLSS5. It looks like shit. It's that simple.

@MattVidPro If I understood correctly Claude was best integrated into Palantir. They don't use the models from the vendors directly.

DoW must’ve tried all the SOTA models and thought claude was the best

@flowersslop @SydSteyerhart Because Elon talks alot but rarely delivers anything of quality

@SydSteyerhart If Elon and xAI are supposedly so capable, why wouldn’t the Pentagon just adopt Grok as its primary AI model? The reality is that they dont seem to take xAI seriously at all, at least not for operation critical work. Axios reports the new deal is done with OpenAI instead

>"I don't care its a matter of national security, Dario has the final say!" Do you understand how insane this sounds? I want the government to seize Claude and give Elon the weights.

@levelsio Total bullshit. The average worker is already working hard but the costs of living keep increasing and even if you manage to save some money houses in the cities where the jobs are, are more expensive than most people make in their lifetime. It's time to tax the rich not the work

I'm starting to love this guy Might save Germany and with it Europe!

@danielpearson @ycombinator @wideframeai "Requires Apple Silicon" Congratulations you just cut off 90% of possible consumers outside the US. When do you people realise that the majority of the world's population doesn't use any Apple hardware?

@discord Time to ditch Discord and move on guys.

We’ve seen some questions about our age assurance update and we want to share more clarity. We know how important these changes are to our community. Here’s what we want you to know: ‣‣‣ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗗 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱. ‣‣‣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲. You need to be an adult to access age-restricted experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check. When additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. ‣‣‣ 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲.

This work is important because building a safer Discord requires a thoughtful approach alongside the communities who make Discord special. --------------- Frequently Asked Questions 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥? ‣‣‣ No. The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age. In a minority of cases when additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦? ‣‣‣ You must be a confirmed adult to access age-restricted content and experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. The majority of Discord users don’t access age restricted content and will never go through a facial age estimation flow or ID verification. In the minority of cases where we cannot confirm you as an adult and you need to access age-restricted areas and settings, then you will be asked to go through additional steps. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢? ‣‣‣ We only get your age from the ID verification process and an estimated age range from Facial Age Estimation. We use this information for safety purposes and to help us deliver age appropriate experiences on Discord. We will not use your age assurance information to target you with advertisements, and we don't sell your data. You can control how we use your data.

The Facial Age Estimation technology runs entirely on your device in real time when you are performing the verification. That means that facial scans never leave your device, and Discord and vendors never receive it. We only get your age group. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥? ‣‣‣ Discord’s age assurance experience was designed to respect user privacy.

These vendors were not involved in the September 2025 data breach of our customer service agent. ‣‣‣ Our vendors perform these verifications in a way to minimize the data collected and stored. For FAE, the video selfie is processed on device and never stored. IDs are processed to get your age only and then deleted. Your identity is never associated with your Discord account.

We only use these signals to assign users to an age group when our confidence level is high; when it isn't, users go through our standard age assurance flow to confirm their age. We do not use your message content in the age estimation model. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ Discord’s content safety filters are part of our broader Teen Safety Assist and safety-by-default approach. They help reduce exposure to certain categories of potentially sensitive image-based media, especially for teens. ‣‣‣ Mature Sexual Media Filter: Helps identify visual media that may contain sexually explicit or suggestive material involving adults ‣‣‣ Graphic Media Filter: Helps identify image-based media that may contain violent or potentially disturbing visual material ‣‣‣ These filters apply only to images and videos. They do not scan text messages, voice, or calls, and they are designed to support age-appropriate experiences while preserving private conversations. --------------- For more details check out our blog here: discord.com/safety/how-dis…

@ThePrimeagen That's true for all patents. Shit only benefits the few and fucks over every consumer. The system needs to be demolished.

software patents are nonsense "oh, you have a media validator? Well i have that patented, all media and all validation, sorry" what the hell are you even talking about?

AMD can you please stop slacking and start launching 128GB+ (LP)DDR6 APUs? We need generational leaps not reheated Gorgon Point trash. Thank you.

@mreflow @rileybrown Not so sure, what makes clawdbot (or now moltbot) great is the open source foundation and being able to pair it with any LLM. As soon as we got a local "AGI" agent in the future, we won't need the big model providers anymore. Not a good outlook for them.

@rileybrown I'd bet that the frontier labs are all studying Clawdbot so they can make their own versions and replicate the success but with additional safety guardrails. Clawdbot eventually is no longer talked about because people prefer Google or OpenAI or Anthropic's version...

Prediction: Clawd bot hype dies down in 3 weeks… But then returns with a vengeance in June-Aug when use cases become clearer, models become better, Easier integrations, skill configurations more packaged etc.

@Alibaba_Wan Not open source who cares

We’re thrilled to see Wan 2.6 officially integrated into the ComfyUI ecosystem. This opens up so many new possibilities for high-quality video generation and creative control. A huge thank you to the ComfyUI team for the support. We can’t wait to see the incredible work you all create with this. Give it a try and share your results with us!

@ThePrimeagen I mean that had to happen at some point with how compute intensive AI is. As long as the ads are only in the free tier and clearly labelled I don't see what the problem is. They probably should have implemented this earlier for sustainability reasons.

IF ONLY SOMEONE WAS TELLING YOU GUYS THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN Premium placement pre-training data next???

@AIandDesign The gap between an amateur and a pro only exists because the tools are not good enough yet to overcome it. We are still very early but are accelerating fast. AI will make all jobs obsolete, it's only a matter of time not if. We will be free to do whatever we actually want to do.

Unpopular opinion (reality check): Most AI folks are not going to make it big as “artists.” Not as 2D artists. Not as filmmakers. “Big” meaning a comfortable living. The people I actually respect in AI filmmaking? Almost all of them were real filmmakers long before AI. They didn’t become filmmakers because of AI. They’re just using it now. Which makes the haters hilarious. They're not fighting “AI bros.” They're raging at their OWN PEERS who simply adopted better tools. Everyone else? Amateurs. Myself included. I really do enjoy making AI videos. It’s fun. If people like them, cool. If not, whatever. It’s not my livelihood, and I’m not on the same level as the pros, and I never will be. And that’s totally fine. AI isn’t replacing jobs. It’s exposing skill gaps. Non-coders still aren’t shipping great products. Non-filmmakers still aren’t suddenly making work you can’t look away from. The few who do? Professionals. Always were. So heading into 2026: Stop trying to reinvent yourself as an “AI artist.” Double down on what you were already good at, and do it WITH AI. Everything else? A great hobby but it’s not going to pay your bills. And that’s totally fine. Focus on what matters. Good luck out there.

@wesroth Both Google and reddit don't create any of the data they try to hoard. They can both fuck off.

Google has filed a lawsuit against web scraping company SerpApi, accusing it of violating the Copyright Act and bypassing technical safeguards to collect Google search results at “an astonishing scale.” The tech giant alleges SerpApi developed methods to circumvent its SearchGuard tool, designed to block automated scraping and disguised hundreds of millions of queries to look like they came from human users. This legal battle comes as the use of scraped web data in AI training grows more contentious, with Google and Reddit both cracking down on unauthorized content harvesting.

@jikkujose @Meituan_LongCat Well you can check the weights yourself on HuggingFace. It needs a shit ton of memory. More than any consumer GPU can handle (even the big expensive ones) We need to wait and see if the open source community is able to achieve quantized versions and speed loras. Then we'll now it

Great release congrats! But isn’t the most important info missing from this long post? compute? memory? render time? How’s this considered the lowest priority to report? How’s every single video model lab doing the same mistake? Isn’t that most exciting aspect of this, ability to run on local devices?
