@JuliaEMcCoy And then what? We just start getting sent money in the mail? Everything becomes free? How do you work in an ecosystem where every job is replaced?

We were never meant to be human *doings.*
We are human *beings.*
But the industrial economy needed bodies at desks.
Needed fingers on keyboards.
Needed souls chained to output quotas.
AI is dismantling that machine.
The tragedy isn’t that AI is replacing workers.
The tragedy is that so many people still *want* to be replaced by that machine.
Wake up.
This is your exit door.

@RileyHellsing @ick_real Kindle would probably work but audiobooks probably not

@ick_real Audio book work? I have touch issues so reading a paperback book would send me into a nut house.

@6pearsofficial @ick_real You're a pornstar, I see a very easy slot of time you could open up. If you're making more than $156k from it then nevermind.
English
@ick_real Who has 4 hours of free time a day? I guess I’d make the time by hiring another employee, a nanny, a driver, a farm hand and a chef? Guess $3k isn’t going to be enough to cover all the roles I have.

young people not embracing AI is really interesting to me
growing up, young people would eat up new tech and the boomers would fear it
today, the CEOs and VCs and tech bros love it, but others are much more mixed

@HeroicLife @SenWarren "This entire premise revolves around money sitting in a vault" dude you clearly can't read, it says "for every dollar owned" right there. We aren't taxing Elon Musk on $825 billion. We're taxing on what cash is sitting idle.
English
"Two cents" sounds so harmless until you remember France tried this exact experiment and repealed it after it drove 42,000 millionaires out of the country and raised less revenue than it cost to administer. Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands — all tried wealth taxes, all abandoned them. But sure, it'll work here because we used pennies in the infographic.
The entire premise assumes billionaire wealth is a pile of cash sitting in a vault. It's not. It's equity in companies that employ people. To pay a 2% annual tax on unrealized gains, founders would be forced to liquidate shares every year — destabilizing the companies that actually create the jobs, child care, and housing this graphic promises. You're not taxing wealth, you're forcing fire sales of productive assets to fund programs that haven't been costed beyond a tweet.
And "still have money left over" is doing Olympic-level work. Warren's own estimates rely on static scoring that assumes zero behavioral response to the tax — no emigration, no asset restructuring, no trusts, no reclassification. Every country that's tried this discovered the revenue projections were fantasy. Name one that hit its targets. You can't, because none did.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Netflix raising prices again while filling your head with woke propaganda, crappy series, and movies that seem written by gender activists.
You pay more and more to be indoctrinated with the progressive agenda and get censored if you don’t like it.
I canceled a while ago—what about you? Will you keep funding that garbage?
English
Netflix is raising their prices yet again
New prices:
• Ad-tier — $8.99
• Standard — $19.99
• Premium — $24.99
They just raised their prices last year

@realBrandonGill No, they probably just think a plumber isn't a great idea for a senator position the same way a heart surgeon probably wouldn't be great either. No political history for occupation? Immediately pushed into 1 of 2 positions per state? Thats asking for problems
English
The left fundamentally believes that blue collar Americans are beneath them. They think you are somehow intellectually inferior if you work with your hands instead of sitting in graduate school classes. They prefer to elevate mediocrity to the highest levels of government based on useless credentials then Americans who actually play a role in building our country.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

@SaraHigdon The social media companies dumping millions to billions to ensure that their algorithm keeps you hooked on their app for as long as possible can't be held responsible for trying to keep you hooked for as long as possible? How is it communist to believe that?
English
I would hope this gets overturned by an appeals court, (if it can even go to one). The idea that the social media company is to blame and not your parents is insane, and complete communist nonsense.

@TimePreference_ @B0LD_OW Buzzword buzzword buzzword regulations are communist
English
@B0LD_OW Markets do not need to be regulated, the idea that they need to be is neoclassical Keynesian garbage and a product of interventionist greed

capitalism created abundance that lifted billions from poverty
socialism created scarcity in nations rich with natural resources

@Dexerto Genuinely this is what I want AI to be used for. Generating more frames rather than generating the art itself. DLSS 5 from what I've heard isn't too great, but DLSS 4 is fantastic. It's not ripping artists work, it literally just aids in the performance of the game.

@minordissent If Trump wasn't a world class persuader, he wouldn't have convinced 77 million people to vote for him when his only goal was to make a profit.
English
How someone feels about Elon and Trump is the best NPC filter I know of. If they can't acknowledge that Trump is a world class persuader or that Elon is a world class engineer/businessman, they do not have a fully functioning pre frontal cortex.
Arthur MacWaters@ArthurMacwaters
i genuinely don't understand how anyone hates Elon the night before flight 4, he was vomiting with stomach ulcers from the stress of crashes, with both SpaceX and Tesla on the brink of bankruptcy he launched it anyway, when 99.9999% of people would've quit. that's bravery. and it reached orbit. now, that same company will have the largest IPO in history. absolutely one of the most inspiring stories

@HoodiWaymo @Rstonius @bbnomula You are saying this all on the assumption that the account being NSFW made it to Alex personally before it was commissioned.
English
I don’t have critical thinking and yet you’re the one blindly sucking off a millionaire despite him having countless instances of him getting allegations of shorting artists among other things
I’ve heard that it’s been a misunderstanding, I’ve heard it was because the artist was a NSFW account, either way this was made known to bbno$ team before the fact and after not holding up their side of the bargain it took a MONTH if not longer of this person spamming him in his comments for him to finally reach out and pay them
If I had a team of a dozen people working for me, I’d have zero issues responding to someone in a timely manner. If it was made known to me that the account was nsfw and I’d have a problem with that, I simply just would pay the full amount and never even discuss a promo from the get-go. This was intentional and if you can’t see that then I’m sure for a fact that I’m not the one who lacks critical thinking
English
there is conversation regarding me not paying creatives for commissions.
one individual has been relentlessly harassing me because of an oversight on me not reposting their content.
a month ago i offered to pay his full rate and formally apologized (attached) for being unable to repost his content to lead my audience to find his page. it was a fundamental oversight on my behalf. although they haven’t stopped harassing me.
i have never not paid out animators. I have commissioned thousands of artists and i will continue to commission more because i believe in propelling art forward.
love ❤️
English
@HoodiWaymo @Monstrassa @bbnomula Asking for half is fine if the artist agrees to it. All that artist had to do was say "Oh sorry, I don't think I can go that low even with any publicity I get from his page". They agreed to it. They made the animation. They ended up getting the full $700 for it.
English
Half off in return for promo dawg are we serious. A 70% cut ***may*** be reasonable but asking for HALF is absurd, especially for the man who loves keeping artists in business, who then couldn’t follow through
A retweet or a post isn’t any bit of a big task, especially for someone with social media managers. Be fr and drop the bias
English
@HoodiWaymo @SalviAlmighty @_CowboyCadaver_ You clearly do not understand if you're still arguing this
English
@SalviAlmighty @_CowboyCadaver_ Please for the love of god I understand
The artist shouldn’t have to “bargain” and lower his prices just to get more then a comment on art he made for a commissioner, especially when bbno$ loves promoting artists and keeping artists in business
English
@POTAkccoonReal Or he's just cosplaying for fun, not sure why it has to be this deep to you...

Literally ANY other character for him would have made sense for him, Jax, Kinger, especially Caine, but because Pomni is the main character of the show he thinks it will appeal to a wider audience, fuck this guy

@MLB92311 @baaahonk @MichelleMaxwell @mtntallpaul You have not the slightest concept of where your taxes go, do you? What cut of your federal taxes do you genuinely believe goes into medicaid?
English
@baaahonk @MichelleMaxwell @mtntallpaul You must be on Medicaid. Everyone else is paying $800 a month for you. Stop being a bum.

Raise your hand if you had better and less expensive insurance before Obamacare.

Barack Obama@BarackObama
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.
English
@TWeeTXter @MichelleMaxwell Well, yeah. Adding children to your plan has always added a ridiculous amount to the cost of the insurance.
English
$64 per month, no copays, $1,000 deductible. $10.63 per hour as a Support Manager for Wal-Mart in 2004-2007.
Now I make $14 per hour, I have three kids and my insurance through work is $964 per month, $100 copay, $10,000 deductible that ONLY kicks in to cover 80% of a hospital bill. That’s where we are at yall 😔
