@Knnoxxg @AliceBunnyland2 Less than 50% of people that have jobs even clear that

@AliceBunnyland2 Should be a crime to work 7 days a week and clear only 46…..

@DrDinduMuffin @AliceBunnyland2 Unless you belive in math then everything you said is horseshit it's literally impossible GDP would need to go 600% for any of that to be true

You can literally make that just calling people on the phone setting up a few meetings a month.
Literal oxy addicts who smoke crack work as sdrs bdrs and pull in double that.
Can you memorize a 3-5 minute conversation and have it 100-300times a day ok now you live in a 4k a month condo and drive a 3 series bmw.
Want to work with your hands? Just don’t nod off on the job site. Boom 110k a year
Oh you show up now you’re in charge of the job site that’s 160k

@JacobAtBarrett @AliceBunnyland2 By plenty of people you mean about 6% of them
English
@AliceBunnyland2 Plenty of folks making 70k a quarter, but they have no lives, no friends, no hobbies. Earning money comes with great sacrifice most people aren’t willing to make, and the discipline to keep it.

@tonyannett The bottom 60% have a negative effective tax rate, you've delusional, brainwashed or just stupid i can't tell which it is. If what you were saying was true we could pay off the deficit in about 5 years
English
This is bullshit. It’s only federal income taxes. When you add in all taxes, the bottom 50% pays 30% of their income - the same as everybody else. Except for billionaires, who only pay 24%.

Jeff Bezos with straightforward simple logic. Bottom 50% pay no taxes + costs government 3%. Yet 100% life changing for this bottom half of America A smart and simple approach worth doing.

@TechnicalBben Not firing people because AI can do it and replacing future work with AI doesn't mean what you think it does and it's not even intended to do what you think it does. It's a PR stunt and a bandaid
English
How do we fix unemployment?
Cancel AI and everyone will be smiling again.
I'm so happy the Chinese government is against replacing people with AI.

@jimstewartson That's a lot of words just to tell the world you're simple minded

I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at.
LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done.
They are the EXHAUST of humanity.
Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA.
It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.

I am getting tired of reading 'experts' like LeCun repeatedly claiming that our AIs are nowhere near human-level intelligence. Let us look at the evidence. US universities rank students based on standardized tests like the SAT. Current AIs achieve near-perfect SAT scores. They also beat tests like the GRE. A few years ago, it was notable when early ChatGPT scored ~120 on an IQ test, a common measure of human intelligence. An IQ of 120 is well above average. Current AIs reportedly have IQ scores similar to those of leading scientists. It is not just in tests. I can ask an AI to produce a science paper that looks undistinguishable from what a PhD level student could do. I just have to give it the data. Better yet, from a prompt, agents can run the experiments and collect the data, and then write the papers. Those of us who try to get work done with AI know what is possible. You can't possibly just say 'this is nowhere near human-level intelligence'. In software, good AIs show a greater mastery of, say, C++, than your average software engineering professor. You could just build a formal test to prove it. The difficulty is that the professors would refuse to take your tests. At this point point, someone will object 'yeah, but your AI can't do this simple thing that we can all do'. Fine. These AIs do not have *human* intelligence. They are very much not human beings. They are something like alien intelligence. They can code straight in assembly language, but have trouble counting characters in words. But that's the result of trade-offs. A dog or a monkey can solve some problems faster than you can. But let us be fair. As a species, these AIs have definitively 'human-level intelligence'. You can't spend decades setting up cognitive tests for human beings, have these AIs beat us in these tests and then say 'well, that's not real intelligence'. Come on !

@KeithFlemming Your fair share is 24% flat rate cough that up for 5 years on your income and comeback and tell us how you feel about paying that on everything you own every year buy your house and car every 4 years

He’s worth 270 billion dollars. If you spent one million dollars a day, it would take 700 years to spend 270 billion dollars.
Most of his money is tied up in stocks. From 2006-2018 he paid 1.4 billion in federal income taxes. In the same span he increased his net worth by 127 billion, or another way to say he paid 1.1% of taxes.
This is exactly how the 1%, people like #Bezos are allowed to avoid paying their fair share in taxes.
There’s no political wedge, it’s the 1% who control this country, and don’t pay their fair share in doing so. The reason the middle class is dying is these large corporations, owned by the wealthiest Americans, who are only worried about profit.
Imagine having this kind of money and trying to play the victim. While his company won’t let his employees unionize, for fear it will cut into their profits. His company Amazon made 638 billion in revenue in 2024.

@ProudSocialist Without those data centers US GDP growth is .3% take whatever bad things you think new data centers will cause then multiple it by 30x thats what data center bans will provide AOC is either stupid or so evil she wants 80% of Americans bankrupt
English
US billionaires keep spewing the same lie about how the US needs more data centers to “compete with China,” so I’m going to keep repeating the truth:
The US already has 5,381 data centers to China’s 449 and has more data centers than nearly every other country combined.
The US needs social housing, universal health care, and modern infrastructure to compete with China, not data centers.
That’s how China surpassed the US by investing in its people instead of wars, data centers, and oligarchs like the US.

@LibertyJen Cool we can just put 800 people in each house, you've solved everything

@JoeCassandra Inflation isn't the problem you should just make 8x as much money and eat toilet paper to curb your hunger pains so you don't spend so much on food
English
Here's your harsh truth:
Inflation isn't the problem.
You just think you're entitled to every luxury.
- You don't want to live in a 1000 sq ft house, it has to be 3000 sq ft
- You need to drive a new car every 4 years
- Vacation has to be at a nice hotel with room service
- Dinner has to be Door Dashed because you're tired
- I need a new iPhone every 18 months
- Everyone goes to Disney World, so I deserve to as well
No you don't.
Make more money or be quiet.
You're not entitled to eat out every day.
Growing up, we ate out 2x a month, and it was a bag of burgers and a few large fries we split.
"We shouldn't have to live like they did in the old days"
No luxury is an entitlement.
You still have to put in the work to afford it.

@TrustlessState I'm all for higher pay, but add prison time if they can't recite from memory everything in the bills they sign at the end of every month. And remove them from office if they have 3 consecutive quarters of more than 3% deficit

Unironically, congress members should be paid 600k-800k a year
Strong financial compensation is a fundamental deterrent for corruption and alternative interests
Rep. Jack Kimble@RepJackKimble
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
English
@RepJackKimble @Ostrakon451 People like you hijacked it. You are crying about the highest paying jobs with the lowest accountability and 0 risk. Congress has failed the people for 50 years strait

@Ostrakon451 We shouldn't have to settle for adequate. What happened to the American Dream?

@TLuke1212 @AlexanderPayton Without data centers GDP growth was .3% last year that would bankrupt 80% of the country in 3 years madmax would look like a utopian fairytale. Also when it replaces office buildings full of dipshits that have been over paid to do fake jobs for decades it will be much better
English
@AlexanderPayton If they are so incredible, why aren’t the American People included in the the decision-making.
FYI - sneaky shit = Bad
Also, do YOU or would YOU live next to one?
This shit needs to be properly vetted
And we already have THOUSANDS of them
Slow dafuq down!

@ShannonE1968 @SyzygyAwakening @elonmusk Without them our GDP growth last year was 0.3% you can't even imagine how bad things would be without them
English
@SyzygyAwakening @elonmusk Why do we need so many data centers? How much more data do we need to store?? And why?? Can anyone answer?
English
@mewpocalypse @SyzygyAwakening You are posting on social media and also overlooking the fact that GDP growth exists because of data centers full stop they are the only thing propping us up from the worst recession in history ban them and madmax will look like utopia. How fucking brainwashed are you?
English
@SyzygyAwakening You hate being on the side of basic human decency? You hate being in the side of actually caring for the public and America? How fucking brainwashed are you. Fucking unreal.
English
@SyzygyAwakening @elonmusk Without these data centers US GDP went up 0.3% ban them and everything goes mad max and you still get mass surveillance but from China
English
@elonmusk Man. I hate being on the side of AOC on anything. But data centers are likely just massive AI spy centers and we know those jobs will be given to H1B visas anyway. They won’t provide jobs for real Americans and they are dystopian BS.
English
@elonmusk Stupid is as stupid does and these 2 are top of the stupid can't see half a move ahead pile. They cater to the least common denominator for the easy votes. Also AI will start exposing how not only useless but detrimental these people (politicians) actually are
English
Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies.
The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.
