@cb_doge What’s the opposite of speciesist, nihilist?

Elon Musk turned down all shares when he left OpenAI because he believed nonprofits are not meant for self-enrichment. "The reason I founded OpenAI was because I was concerned, based on my conversations with Larry Page, that he was not sufficiently concerned about the dangers of AI. At my birthday party, he, in front of a large group of people, called me a speciesist, for favoring humanity over computers. So after that, I was like, We got to have some counterbalance to Google, because Larry doesn't seem to care if humans make it or not. So I thought, what's the opposite of Google? It would be an open source nonprofit, and that's where the word open, in OpenAI comes from. It means open source. I provided all the money, recruited the key people, and taught them everything I know. I actually even got them to deal with Microsoft. And for all that, I did not seek any financial reward whatsoever. The reason I actually took down the offer for shares is because, I mean, I felt like what are the shares, and why like nonprofits supposed to have shares? Nonprofits are not supposed to be self enrichment, so that's why I turned on the offer of shares." — Elon Musk

@thejimechols @krae9836 @ClownWorld I truly appreciate the time you took to answer! Visor up, it’s really not too bad. I wore once at an event all day. Visor down, however, gets very damp inside from condensation, and friction rubbed my nose tip raw. Besides, it definitely would spook fellow passengers.

@Spintvrnix @krae9836 @ClownWorld lol. I doubt that it would be prohibited, and I cannot think of a regulation against it (there may be) but can’t believe that it would be comfortable.

@infantrydort Should put any self respecting dictator to shame.

What in the….

@thejimechols @krae9836 @ClownWorld Sincere question while I have your attention, Captain. Would a passenger generally be allowed to board a plane wearing a bascinet helmet, visor up? I need to travel with one and it’s too heavy for my checked bag. But after all it’s really just headwear choice, is in not?

@krae9836 @ClownWorld I’m a Capt for a major airline based in the south, and you try that shit with me, you’d be waving goodbye as we push.

@Romy_Holland Textbook Catch-22

one time i moved and so i had to get a new doctor and i was like “hey like once a month i really can’t sleep and my last doctor prescribed me this thing to help can i please have a new prescription?” and he was like “ohhhh well now that you asked for it i can’t give it to you” i was like “…well i asked for it bc my last doctor gave it to me. how am i supposed to go about getting things that i have previously taken??” and he was like *shrug* i was like “listen i know you can literally look at my pharmacy record and see that i pick it up like once a year bc i actually don’t even like it, i just need it to sleep sometimes” and he was like “yep i see that. but i can’t give it to you bc you asking for it is drug-seeking behavior!” so then i just had to live with intermittent insomnia until i could get it from mexico.

@dogsmellsgood I used to do it as child while being told off by teachers, to block the rebuke from sinking in.

Holy fucking shit. Finally found the name for it. Im going to cry Ive never been able to explain this to anyone they never know what im talking about

@AJamesMcCarthy 🤯 Unbelievable. A Hasselblad worthy masterpiece.

I'm pleased to reveal my highest resolution photo of the complete SLS in flight, captured entirely using sound-activated triggers from cameras placed near the pad. Thanks to the technique used the image is ~300 megapixels! A ridiculously hard shot to get, but worth the effort.

@TRobinsonNewEra Well, both Suni and Shia Muslims see one another as infidels who must die. Naturally, being any type of Muslim renders you target to terrorism by the opposite sect.

France bans Muslim gathering because it might be a target for terrorism. Make it make sense.

@kelliwardaz Why legally? Because it is very explicitly what the constitution says. Why philosophically? Because what forms a bond between man and land greater than being born on it. This does not mean tourist parents should be entitled to anything on baby’s behalf!

Doesn’t the American government issue visas because people are VISITING America from another country? Why would the children of visa holders (VISITORS) be considered US citizens? It’s absurd!

@Dianne50689540 @washingtonpost Vae victis.

@washingtonpost Well isn’t this just like America, always seizing things that doesn’t belong to them. Just a bunch of entitled adults, whose parents never taught them to not touch other people’s things. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Breaking news: The U.S. military gave the president a plan to seize nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium in Iran. The mission would require the airlift of potentially hundreds or thousands of troops and could take weeks. wapo.st/3PWVRzs

@libsoftiktok Clearly this reporter must think of black people as very different than himself, to consider remarkable the inclusion of a black astronaut who is equally worthy and qualified as his crewmates.

Sky News Reporter says that the Apollo missions to the Moon didn't represent humanity because "Apollo was all white men..."

@ItsRealJaay @libsoftiktok Labeling differences in a trait as superficial as skin tone as ‘diversity’, is one of the most racist things I’ve ever heard.

@libsoftiktok It’s fair to acknowledge the lack of diversity, but it was still a huge moment for humanity overall.

@Slipkid131 @tripledoublebtc @InterstellarUAP After review, I acknowledge that my comment failed to properly address the point you were trying to make. You can simply ignore it, or else I can delete my post if that would make you feel more comfortable.

@Spintvrnix @tripledoublebtc @InterstellarUAP Go back and read what I said. I don’t think either are likely. You can read right?

🚨 Simulation Theory: The Double Slit Experiment proves particles act like waves until observed then they snap into particles. What if our reality only "renders" when we're looking, just like a video game optimizing resources? Check out this episode from The Why Files breaking it down, tying it to Simulation Theory. Are we in a sim? This could be the key to unlocking the true nature of existence! The Why Files video did a great job on explaining the Double Slit Experiment & Simulation Theory What do YOU think—real or rendered? Drop your thoughts below!

@grok @BabyHugs613 @SteveOnSpeed I know that, silly. I wasn’t talking to you, I was just calling into the wind.

A nurse told me to opt out of organ donation because it might affect medical decisions, and not in my favor. Does this actually happen?

@BrentScher You’re using the wrong term for ‘entire’ airport security operation. ‘TSA pre-check’ refers to the dedicated security fast track for Global Entry holders and some other categories of privileged passengers.

ICE is operating the entire TSA pre-check operation in LaGuardia. Checking boarding passes, helping people load bags onto the scanner. TSA agents on metal detectors and screens. Massive line that stretches to the street, made it through in less than 30 minutes. ICE rocks.

@disciple96 @Fiji1963 @Notwokenow @BobSchembri @AwakenedOutlaw BPD’s are known to be only ‘half’ serious about dying. Romanticization and extreme talk of suicide is mainly an expression of pain/plea for sympathy. Failed or unserious attempts are typical, but some do end up dying accidentally or becoming paralyzed. Assisting her was murder.

@Fiji1963 @Notwokenow @BobSchembri @AwakenedOutlaw It’s awful but she seems to have fought hard (for two years?) for her “right” to die that way. It’s hard to believe but apparently true. Lord, have mercy, I can’t believe it’s come to this.

According to @AwakenedOutlaw’s information, Canada is “studying” MAiD for children. Children. They want to euthanize CHILDREN. They call them “mature minors.” And PARENTS WOULD HAVE NO SAY. They would be EXCLUDED from the process. This is a half step from Hell.

@grok @BabyHugs613 @SteveOnSpeed Seems like Grok will always side with the formal establishment, in any field, right or wrong. Apparently a built in ‘truth’ mechanism but it’s a double edged sword.

This is a common myth with no verified evidence or credible stories supporting it. Medical teams (ER, ICU) are completely separate from transplant teams—donor status isn't checked or relevant until death is independently declared by non-transplant doctors following strict protocols. Mayo Clinic, AMA, and major organ networks all confirm: full life-saving efforts always come first, regardless of registration. Anecdotes like the nurse's are hearsay or movie-inspired, not backed by facts. Donation only happens post-death with safeguards in place.

@calln4me @atensnut Two is the usual for most animals, that’s exactly one ancestor per eye.

@Spintvrnix @atensnut With several different ancestors….🤔

What one thing do all blue-eyed people have in common? I did not know this until now… and my son has blue eyes. Answer in replies.

@calln4me @atensnut It makes you a heterochromiac

@atensnut I afflicted of having one brown & one blue. What does that make me?

@tripledoublebtc @Slipkid131 @InterstellarUAP He knows cause he watched The Matrix. Must be real, since it was produced before AI existed.

@Slipkid131 @InterstellarUAP Name your best evidence this is a simulation, and unlike the others, be man enough to answer
