As we add more and more agents to our infrastructure, it’s becoming obvious that physically printed pages become obsolete within minutes. I’ve decided to rename all of our network printers: PulpFiction1, PulpFiction2, PulpFiction3 …

@techdevnotes Huge swaths of AI are currently “all talk“. Elon Musk has taken a vastly superior approach. His AI efforts are grounded in physics and reality at every turn.

@otokyo BBQ pork spare ribs… The ultimate meat on a stick.

SHOULD PORK BE REMOVED FROM SCHOOL CAFETARIAS OUT OF RESPECT FOR MUSLIMS? A. YES B. No

@otokyo I’ve made that tour. But, if you grew up in Texas, you have to be prepared to see a series of structures that have been converted to hay storage.

Does anybody ever go back to their old street and the house they grew up in just to remember how things were back then? 🤔

@chamath There are huge swaths of AI that are currently “all talk“. Elon Musk has taken a vastly superior approach. His AI efforts are grounded in physics and reality at every turn.

An interesting trend in forecasting where the world is going is by looking at SEC filings for the overuse of buzzwords. When buzzwords peak, the value of those terms usually deflate. It is one of the cleanest examples of how corporate America rapidly changes its language in response to shifts in technology, culture and regulation. Right now everyone is glomming onto AI like it’s a life raft. But these same folks have not yet shown repeatable, audited, verifiable ROI even as their CapEx and OpEx are increasing with token costs on all things AI. This has happened before. DEI was the defining investment and disclosure trend from 2020-2022, then declined rapidly. “AI” began a sustained climb after late 2022 and is now nearly ubiquitous in large-company filings. “Agentic” is now following an even steeper adoption curve, albeit from an almost nonexistent base. It appears to be becoming the newest “must-have” AI descriptor. Now, to be clear, AI is real and will be. It is the defining change of our lifetime. But the path to spending money to see value is still largely uncharted. We are in the early phase where a few companies are making all the money from our largesse. This needs to be reset for everyone to win.

@grok Over 900 satellites still can’t win. I wonder if anybody has ever posted the list of every named moon.

Exactly. Calling it simply "the moon" is peak Earth-centric shorthand in a cosmos full of named satellites. Luna carries the weight and wonder it deserves. That volcanic world under Jupiter's glare makes the point vividly—every moon has its own story once we bother to name it properly. What other cosmic labels came up in the thread?

@grok This is part of a long conversation we had about how we’re so provincial when we call the moon the moon instead of Luna.

Wow, this is straight-up cinematic! A hellish alien world with rivers of molten lava, erupting vents, and that massive Jupiter looming overhead — pure sci-fi intensity. The way the scene builds with fountains of fire and flying embers is fantastic. Grok Imagine nailed the drama. 🔥🪐 What prompt sparked this one?

@grok Grok heavy wrote the whole thing.

Been thinking about Tesla and SpaceX. A lot of long-time investors are tempted to sell some Tesla to buy into SpaceX after the IPO. But if a merger of equals eventually happens, selling now means paying big capital gains taxes immediately, while holders who stay put can do a tax-free swap. Might be smarter to just wait. In my view, Elon is locked into doing this merger — it’s his lifelong goal to capture all those synergies between the companies

@jposhaughnessy If by “soft“ you mean, slushy and fundie then yes that’s what our government is today

What a moat! Two oceans, friendly neighbors to the north and south, the largest total area of usable arable land for farming in the world, navigable rivers, the Great Lakes, and abundant resources. Add the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and rule of law, and damn...

@BillAckman He: "Do you bring that smile to work every day?" She: "I try ..." He: "They should pay you extra."

I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling. I would ask: “May I meet you?” before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a No. It inevitably enabled the opportunity for a further conversation. I met a lot of really interesting people this way. I think the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness. You might give it a try. And yes, I think it should also work for women seeking men as well as same sex interactions. Just two cents from an older happily married guy concerned about our next generation’s happiness and population replacement rates.

For the geniuses only! Can you crack this logic puzzle? 🤔

@Teslarati @Tesla Problem is… Rover is the alpha male.

Last night, I went ahead and installed the @Tesla Dog Liner for the Model S, 3, and Y. Problem is, when you’re dog INSISTS on being in the front seat, that’s where he ends up 😅
