Tim Tries to Win

Marco Rubio on Blockade of Strait of Hormuz: It's criminal for sure, but it's desperate and destructive…. It’s piracy.

Rubio: This is a defensive operation. So if you hear stories about attacks and launching of firing back and forth. It's not back and forth. We are only responding…

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now. The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left. Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops. If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time. The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy. They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand. The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker. The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own. (Link in the comment)

Been thinking this all weekend 😂

@EricColumbus @Acyn MAYBE HE COPIED THE PAINT STYLE?

People Express has not existed since 1987. He means Jet Blue.

@Acyn 1980s FLASHBACK! Peoples Express looks like the INSPIRATION for TRUMP’s own plane paint style! (Maybe he wanted to buy it or make his own)

Reporter: Is the government going to buy a stake in Spirit Airlines? Trump: They were going to merge with People Express or one of them and Obama decided it was a bad idea. How did that work out? I think we just buy it. And when the price of oil goes down, we’ll sell it for a profit.

@usatodaysports Soooooooo Women shouldn’t speak up? Women shouldn’t be believed? You just murdered the one thing you had left. TRUST. Go merge with Fox News.

"USA TODAY Sports has ended its contractor relationship with Crissy Froyd effective immediately. Her recent statements do not reflect our commitment to professionalism or uphold our principles of ethical conduct."

@Amena__Bakr …JUST before US stock market opens for early trading, when overnight it was spiking.

Thank GOD.

😂 One groundhog has already accepted his fate and calmly endures the nail trim. The other… the other is still in denial. Every clip sends his soul straight to his feet. Waiting for a nail trim is a whole new level of thriller.

@WSJ @lonseidman 😂

Technology company Plex took its 120 employees to Honduras for a weeklong bonding experience. It was a disaster from the moment they arrived. on.wsj.com/41PimsN

@RonFilipkowski CARBON COPY ABC MUCH????

I’m not so sure this is the way to stop the ratings slide.

🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down. It's called Project N.O.M.A.D. A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses. No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works. Here's what's packed inside: → A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline) → All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable → Offline maps of any region you choose → Medical references and survival guides → Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking → Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef → Document upload with semantic search (local RAG) Here's the wildest part: A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker. Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free. One command to install. 100% Open Source. Apache 2.0 License.

Marco Rubio when he realizes he has to be the next Bachelorette 🌹.

stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free:

@deanwball Your a fucking clown. 🤡

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.

@krassenstein HE IS HOLDING HIS NOSE!

BREAKING: I can confirm this call actually did take place at 3:19 PM on Friday on CSPAN. This video is NOT AI generated: Caller: "Hello this is John Barron. This is the worst decision you can never have in your life, practically. Jack will agree with me. This is a terrible decision. You have Hakeem Jeffries, he is a dope. You have chuck Schumer, he can't cook a cheeseburger. True Americans will not be happy. She is a disgrace."

@WhiteHouse He’s already been evacuated BY Greenland. Both US Hospital ships are not in service. The have fully free and better healthcare system than we do? WTF is this fever dream?!!!? GRANDPA IS NOT OK!!!!
