At a certain point, it's looking like team blue clowns will task their LEOs with confronting federal LEOs. The federal force is much larger and better funded. Team blue LEOs better stand down, and tell clowns like this to F off.

@theallinpod People can feel their privacy being stripped away, and they don't like it. Some techbros are even bragging about it. x.com/PeterDiamandis…

Friedberg: 3 Reasons Why College Students Are Booing AI 1) AI creates too much power for the 1% in the short-term, and the 99% aren’t seeing the long-term benefits yet 2) Astroturfing by state actors and foreign adversaries, who want to slow American progress 3) AI is anti-humanist, and it messes with our ego, which fuels the blowback @Jason: “When you hear young people booing AI, why are they doing that?” @friedberg: “I think that there's an underlying view that technology creates leverage for a small group of people, which creates power imbalances, and nothing represents that more than AI, that a small number of people that control, and profit from, and benefit from AI are going to end up getting outsized returns relative to the broader population. That the time to diffusion of the technology, because ultimately all technologies commoditize and diffuse, but the time to diffusion here is such that it's going to be extremely asymmetric for society. And because those questions about, 'When does this benefit me, how does it benefit me?' can't be answered today, the economic benefit that's accruing to the few today becomes the narrative. It becomes the story, and it becomes this power system that a few people take from the many. And so there's something deeply disturbing for the average person about that. They don't understand how it works, why it works, what it'll do for them, when it will do it, and all that they're being told is that some people are making trillions of dollars. So I think that it's pretty obvious why this has got such a backlash. Secondly, I think that there's a deep amount of external energy that's fueling this anti-technology sentiment in the United States and has been for decades. I don't think it's just China with NGOs today. I think that there's a long history of state actors intervening in media activities in foreign nations to try and create the sentiment and fuel a sentiment that reduces progress in that competitive state. This third piece is, when the Copernican revolution happened, it was a mind f**k. Heliocentricity was a totally new way of thinking for humans, and it was deeply disruptive to the church, and it was deeply disruptive to the power centers, which were the centers that could tell people, 'Earth is at the center of the universe, we're in control, we're the direct channel to God.' And the idea that the sun is at the center of the solar system, and we spin around it, and we're a tiny speck in the universe was very hard for people to grasp. There's something about AI that's very not human-centric, and it kind of shifts and f**ks with the ego of the human. It's almost anti-humanist, and I think that that's like a deep psychological current. A lot of people and their disdain for this technology, it fuels it. It's not the cause, but I think it fuels it.”

@PeterDiamandis Half the reason the general public hates on datacenters is because you tech bros facilitated the erosion of privacy. You never stood up and said, "Woah, let's not do this." At every opportunity, you Fk'd your customers.

Apple and Google literally know when you use the bathroom. Your phone tracks your location 24/7. Your browser history is sold. AI does facial recognition everywhere. Privacy as we knew it is gone.

@MattWalshBlog That guy is patient zero for many different health strategies. It's a ton of work and expensive too. We all may benefit by what he's learning. Thanks Bryan. 🇺🇸

I would rather be dead than live my life like this

@ruthbenghiat terrible acting

This is not politics as usual. We’ve never had an openly authoritarian leader in office. Nor have we had a party totally subservient to their leader. We must resist as such during these not normal times.

@Fat_Electrician The water and power and other local issues can be resolved technically. I don't like carving up the countryside for DCs. Not much different than a StopNRob next to your McMansion. EPA has a program to incentivize brownfield DC development, that's a good start.

I’ve looked into this very minimally, so I’m genuinely asking. Why are people opposing data centers so hard? My gut feeling is it’s hippies opposing nuclear power 2.0, but I’m willing to be convinced otherwise.

$BTC HODL is steadily growing:)

@Mr_Derivatives @grok Claude won't play

Hey Grokky @grok, in your best analytical opinion, give me one stock to go all in for the rest of 2026. Please.

@forestpilled always sidestep the issue, and pretend to be outraged about something

never rubio. we are pro american labor and shouldn’t tolerate some cuban trying to use leftist slurs against us for being unapologetically pro american labor.

@ColonelTowner LOL

Having visited IN often for family reasons, and visiting many other states over the last several years on 7,000 miles trips each year...I can tell you the single worse roads we drove on were in Indiana. As a Hoosier born, Florida raised American, it saddens me. I was stationed in Indiana and graduated from IU, that was not always the case.

@TeamMcMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow Except if those people are in the 40% who are MI gunowners. Those people, you throw under the bus.

.@MalloryMcMorrow: Representing Michigan means representing everyone. That means listening, showing up, and fighting for all people — not just Democrats.

@WilkowMajority Surplus elitists love to tell you how important they are.

@ShortSeller @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump will go down as responsible for bringing the globalists to their knees. It's a big crowd of surplus elitists getting learned the hard way their dumb ideas don't work. The crying will be epic.

@realDonaldTrump Will go down as responsible for the demise of democracy as well as the biggest pussy on the planet.. but house biggest accomplishment will be add the Trump family exceeding @elonmusk as the world's biggest grifter

@StokPix @PeterDiamandis @grok explain how loose monetary policy of the last 5-10 years led to a K shaped economy and rising stock prices.

@PeterDiamandis Where is the money coming fro to buy stock? Solve that and you will be very rich.

OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX. Three of the most important companies in human history. All are going public within months of each other. These IPOs will be unlike anything in the history of financial markets.

@EMBurlingame @ColonelTowner

@ColonelTowner How many US governors have they installed and overthrown?

@MalloryMcMorrow Let's micromanage the shit out of the private sector some more. That will fix things. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Yesterday, we passed my “No Reverse Robin Hood Act” out of committee. This legislation is simple: companies receiving incentives funded by taxpayers are prohibited from pursuing stock buybacks. Because public dollars should be for public benefit - and incentives for a company to create jobs or expand in the state should be used strictly for that purpose. Not to pad the pockets of their shareholders.

@ArmstrongEcon Europe is like a ship steered at the falls, and no one wants to change direction.

The computer has repeatedly warned that Europe was entering a period of political fragmentation and economic decline by 2028. Capital is fleeing. Industry is fleeing. Confidence is collapsing. The people running Europe still behave as though public outrage is merely some inconvenience to be managed through censorship and propaganda. They still cannot comprehend why nationalist movements continue rising across the continent.

@BrianRoemmele Yes this "slop" will have that artificial look. It's just another medium for storytelling. Remember paperback books? That's another medium. This is much more engaging. There's certainly room for great artistry here.

Bro.. The movie (AI slop some will yell) follows an alien who lands on Earth and peacefully explores human life while hiding in plain sight. Wearing human clothes, he blends into society and experiences everyday activities. Instead, he crashed on the most chaotic beach in America, getting bitten by a Chihuahua named Benji, and finding out the dung beetle you crashed next to was actually the pilot the whole time. That's the entire emotional arc of "BRO" by Muhannad Nassar(mrabujoe). The means of production is now in the hands of the one. The individual. Love it or not love it, it does not ask permission to produce.

@JeffBezos Thank you Jeff. We need more builders calling BS on the deconstructionists who are deliberately promoting division with their lies.

Please do a quick read of this. It’s short, well written, and will remove a bit of wool from over your eyes.

@patrickbetdavid @amiKozak @sostalksmoney @PBDsPodcast This is what I call the Adam button

@amiKozak @sostalksmoney @PBDsPodcast What’s your point?

Hey @sostalksmoney - just tell @patrickbetdavid what you you mean! @PBDsPodcast

@TimOnPoint Who is giving direction to the Iranian leaders?

The leadership of Iran has one goal right now—to damage the United States politically and reputationally: - First by delaying - Second by luring the US into going after Iran’s enriched stockpile From my perspective, the only option is to keep targeting Iranian leadership.
