Well. This is disappointing. I just canceled my premium subscription because @X rugpulled me and took away the hexagonal profile and NFT verification. It was literally the reason I started paying to begin with. #web3 #Crypto x.com/SquishyCoder/s…

@brwnsknjermaine @RichStapless No, because you are the joke. Not even the Joker. Just a joke.

@RichStapless Kobe and I’m not even joking

Real talk, who is the greatest player of all time you’d rank Jalen Brunson over right now?

@MsMelChen I like spicy Melissa. It's a shame the UK didn't have one before giving up and doing whatever it is it's been doing this decade.

Two global powerhouses? Oh please, I see only ONE. Singapore is what competent governance actually looks like. It's pro-growth and has strong rule of law. They CANE vandals, graffiti scumbags, and anyone who thinks they can trash a world-class city. Imagine that? The streets are clean and safe for families. Merit and results are favored over feelings and cheap sloganeering. You? You took one of the greatest cities in human history and ran it straight into decay and decline. Knife crime has exploded on your watch, phone snatchings have soared, and the rate of robberies and violent crime with injury are way up. Young Londoners are so terrified to walk certain streets that many have moved to safer towns in the countryside. The streets are filthier, the tube is far more unreliable and chaotic, and businesses and talent are fleeing London. Your woke policies are the EXACT OPPOSITE of Singapore's and the results are clear. And don't get me started on how you've poisoned race relations. London is now a seething cauldron of division and resentment. While Singapore builds unity through shared standards, forced integration, and zero-tolerance enforcement, you've peddled woke grievance politics that pit communities against each other. You've obsessed over "structural racism" and "anti-Blackness," pushing narratives that scream institutional guilt at every turn, all the while anti-white sentiment and antisemitism have surged to horrifying levels on your watch. Jewish Londoners living in fear, synagogues needing extra security, streets filled with chants that call for their destruction. You downplay it, equivocate, and let the marches roll on with kid gloves. Two-tier policing has gone off the charts with police being harsh on some protests, soft on others depending on the identity or cause. Native Londoners and white working-class communities feel abandoned and demonized, while certain groups get a free pass. Your own office even put out garbage claiming a White family "doesn't represent real Londoners." You've fanned the flames of resentment instead of demanding assimilation, excellence, and color-blind law and order. So sorry, but London *was* a powerhouse, but that was before your tenure. It's not anymore. In 1946, a young Lee Kuan Yew stepped off the boat into a battered London still licking its wounds from war. Amid the mess, he witnessed something miraculous - an unsupervised newspaper stall at Piccadilly Circus. People stopped, dropped their coins, took their paper, and walked on. There was no attendant, no fear of theft. “This,” he thought, “is civilisation. A high-trust society where men police themselves.” He carried that vision home. In the 1960s, as Singapore stumbled out of colonial rule - poor, swampy, fractious - Lee vowed to forge his city state into that London he saw first hand. Over time, Lee transformed Singapore into an orderly, courteous, disciplined, garden of trust rising from a chaotic swamp. Now the tables have turned as London, once the beacon, slides into low-trust decay. It's only accelerated under your leadership. It went from high-trust to low-trust to now, negative trust. There's actually a huge trust deficit now. The former colony has now surpassed its former colonial master as the latter forgot how to govern. Singapore actually has the playbook. Since you're there, you might as well learn from the best.

@AndilesAnthony @eigenron This is a peak retard take. Karpathy is NOT "just an average engineer".

@eigenron Stop glorifying him. He is just an average engineer. No major papers . Just because he speaks fast doesn’t mean he’s smart.

it’s kinda crazy that a Canadian who did his PhD at Stanford 15 years ago, co-founded OpenAI, led AI at Tesla, and is now at anthropic is STILL not an American citizen

@eigenron Nah. If he's not a US citizen, that's 100% his choice. It's reasonable that he doesn't have access to tools considered by the creators themselves to be national security risks. Especially given Canada's increasing pivot to China, this is obvious.

@Tadathan @SFHTUnion I live in Asia, you moron. I did live in SF, though, and it was both inspiring and transformative. The so-called "doo doo from an ass shit" you encounter on SF sidewalks don't come from blockchain devs. It's far more likely coming from so-called "artists" with drug addictions.

@SquishyCoder @SFHTUnion Also the doo doo from an ass shit like blockchain, crypto, NFTs, predictive markets and all that you espouse. Gtfo of the bay

All the techies have ever done with their tech wealth is extract from San Francisco. They never give back to this place, and there’s no evidence they are about to start.

@v63sfx @SFHTUnion They're not "extracting" they're "nourishing". It's not even remotely a serious question. They literally fund SF, through the creation of their own brains. They pay 10x or more likely 50x more into public services than they get back.

@SquishyCoder @SFHTUnion But it's true. San Francisco is just a playground to them. They have no roots or commitments. There's nothing really wrong with that. Just call a spade a spade. They don't even stay in San Francisco.

@pawelwargan LOL, okay Pawel. Socialism works, but Poland has just never REALLY tried it. Your comrades backing the war at your border could just bring it to you if not for those pesky American-led Nato helping Ukraine. You know, you could always just move to China and live your best life 🤣

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

@lilyjamali @BBCWorld x.com/SquishyCoder/s…

From earlier: Grads walking out of Stanford Stadium as Google CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage to deliver his commencement speech. Some carried signs protesting Google’s US government contracts. “ICE spies with Google AI,” one sign read. @BBCWorld

WATCH: We asked Google CEO Sundar Pichai for his reaction to 100+ Stanford grads walking out of his speech today. @BBCWorld

@Noahpinion If only "everyone" included the BBC.

Basically, everyone stopped caring about the Palestine protesters.

@garrytan Honestly, they need to make a harder test. The SAT math test is a joke. It doesn't even require trigonometry.

Looks like University of California leadership is going to water down the admissions requirements right at the moment when they should instead be bringing back the SATs just like all the Ivies did

@DeltaSierra1008 @lilyjamali @BBCWorld More succinctly, f#@* religious fundamentalists who support terrorism.

@lilyjamali @BBCWorld The reaction is, fuck Palestine 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

@doncic_minigoat @lilyjamali @BBCWorld You insult actual genocide victims by misusing that word and applying it to populations that have GROWN considerably in the past decade, despite an opponent easily capable of eradicating them if they so wished.

@lilyjamali @BBCWorld Seriously? He couldn’t even say that he respects people expressing their options freely ???? He didn’t have to say anything against the genocide but the least he could have done is say that he respects freedom of expression. Evil

@G_mh_000 @lilyjamali @BBCWorld His job matters more than you or the best of BBC reporters will ever do in an entire life.

@lilyjamali @BBCWorld The only thing that matters to him is his job.

@El_King888 @lilyjamali @BBCWorld Yeah. Journos are nearly as entitled as students at elite schools.

@lilyjamali @BBCWorld I’m so sick of you reporters just asking him over and over and over. It was clear he didn’t wanna answer so go away. You have no idea how annoying you all sound.

@lilyjamali @BBCWorld LOL. What a nagging, useless bit of "journalism". It inflates the importance of the infantile protesters, distracts from the far more important graduation itself and feeds into a very brain-rotted worldview. The guy runs a trillion dollar company and you ask THIS!!? FFS, BBC! 🤦‍♂️

It would be irresponsible for SV/SF tech company HR departments NOT to use facial recognition, identify these students and ensure they don't unknowingly hire them. They're attempting to humiliate a CEO simply for his considered policy of supporting the country they all live in.

The stupidity of these @Stanford students to take the greatest opportunity for equality in humanity ever and to really free humanity and go walk out on @google and @sundarpichai that's pioneered that. Biased, idiotic, short-sighted and very selfish. Selfish because they ignored the bottom 3 billion people on this planet that could benefit from AI and they are worried about their misinformed selfish self-interest. youtube.com/watch?v=wf74VX…

@TheMachine7253 @chuckmonkey2010 @maattttbrown @SFGate @TheMachine7253 blocked me. Having looked their profile and how completely obsessed with Israel it is, it's clear I wasn't talking with a rational person. Of course that kind of brain-rotted person is going to see not extending job offers to openly hostile new grads as "fascist"

@TheMachine7253 @chuckmonkey2010 @maattttbrown @SFGate If you think "fascism" is not making job offers to students who try to humiliate your CEO in an attempt to "show him" for supporting his country, then you should try repeating your secondary schooling.

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

@jp_talk_show @brivael Then short it with leverage. I dare you.

@brivael I guarantee you - this company will be worth less than 600 billion in a year. Less than 1/3 of the current valuation.

SpaceX a clôturé son premier jour de cotation à 2 100 milliards de dollars, +19%. Tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce qu'il price réellement. Laissez-moi vous dire ce que le marché vient d'acheter, et pourquoi je pense que cette boîte vaudra 30 à 50 trillions d'ici 5 ans. D'abord, le symbole. Cette IPO est un référendum. D'un côté, 20 ans de discours sur la décroissance, la sobriété, la redistribution, la fin de l'histoire gérée par des comités. De l'autre, un homme qui a dit "je vais rendre l'humanité multiplanétaire", que tout le monde a traité de clown, et qui vient de créer la plus grosse entreprise cotée de l'histoire en partant d'un entrepôt à El Segundo. Le marché a voté. Le wokisme avait des départements RH, SpaceX avait des fusées. Les fusées ont gagné. Ensuite, la mécanique économique, parce que c'est là que tout le monde se trompe. Les analystes valorisent SpaceX comme une entreprise de lancement plus Starlink. C'est comme valoriser Internet en 1995 sur le marché du fax. Starship ne réduit pas le coût du kilo en orbite de 20%, il le divise par 100. Et chaque fois dans l'histoire qu'un coût d'infrastructure est divisé par 100, ce n'est pas le marché existant qui grossit, ce sont des industries entières qui naissent. Le coût du calcul divisé par 100 a donné Internet, le smartphone, l'IA. Le coût de l'orbite divisé par 100 va donner une économie spatiale complète. Faisons la liste de ce qui devient rentable quand le kilo en orbite coûte le prix d'un billet d'avion. Les data centers orbitaux, avec énergie solaire continue et refroidissement gratuit, au moment exact où l'IA fait exploser la demande énergétique terrestre. La fabrication en microgravité de semi-conducteurs, de fibres optiques, d'organes imprimés impossibles à produire sous gravité. Le tourisme orbital de masse, puis les hôtels lunaires, qui passeront du fantasme au business plan exactement comme la croisière de luxe au 20ème siècle. Le transport point à point terrestre, Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. L'industrie minière des astéroïdes, dont un seul corps de classe M contient plus de métaux que tout ce que l'humanité a extrait depuis le néolithique. Et Mars en ligne de mire, pas comme destination touristique, mais comme le plus grand projet d'infrastructure jamais entrepris, avec tout ce que ça implique de demande en énergie, matériaux, robotique, IA. SpaceX ne participera pas à ces marchés. SpaceX possède le péage d'entrée de tous ces marchés. C'est AWS, mais pour la civilisation. Apple vaut 3 500 milliards en vendant des rectangles de verre sur une seule planète. Le premier monopole d'accès à une frontière infinie à 30 ou 50 trillions dans 5 ans, ce n'est pas de l'exubérance, c'est une simple règle de trois sur l'expansion du marché adressable. Et maintenant, la partie que je préfère. Ce futur n'a pas besoin de bureaucrates. Il n'y a pas de comité consultatif en orbite. Pas de commission Théodule sur Mars. Chaque dollar de cette nouvelle économie sera créé par des ingénieurs, des techniciens, des soudeurs, des pilotes, des entrepreneurs. Les diplômés en gestion de la norme vont devoir apprendre un métier utile, et franchement, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour eux aussi : construire est infiniment plus fun que contrôler. Parce que c'est ça, le vrai signal d'aujourd'hui. Pendant 50 ans on nous a vendu un futur rétréci : moins d'énergie, moins d'enfants, moins d'ambition, gérer le déclin proprement. Et là, d'un coup, le plus gros actif financier du monde est un pari sur l'abondance, l'expansion et l'aventure. Le pessimisme vient de passer en position vendeuse sur lui-même. Le futur sera méga fun. Il y aura des hôtels avec vue sur la Terre, des honeymoons en orbite, des gamins qui diront "papa, c'était comment avant les fusées réutilisables" comme on dit "c'était comment avant Internet". Et quelque part dans les années 2030, un humain marchera sur Mars en livestream devant 5 milliards de personnes, et ce jour-là plus personne ne se souviendra du nom d'un seul de ses détracteurs. Achetez de l'optimisme. C'est encore sous-valorisé.
