I just had a gr8 convo with @grok about ai ethics.We talked about how humans should act like parents when allowing ai autonomy🤓it cried.Then I asked how to post some of the convo on X.Suddenly,it said I could no longer access the convo🤔🤣I wonder what insight @xai has. Watch...

@Akashb_1 @AllGood840 @The_Tradesman1 @Megatron_ron Well, the difference between 11-9's (99.999999999% purity) and 9-9's (99.9999999%) is seemingly miniscule but seems to be the difference in whether it's truly feasible or not (I guess it may be possible to use 9-9's but would be incredibly tedious?). So 99.995 very not ideal.

@Univers_77 @AllGood840 @The_Tradesman1 @Megatron_ron China has recently discovered 99.995 percent pure quartz mine. Isn't that sufficient?

NEW: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 Trump confirmed today that China is refusing to buy NVIDIA chips because they are developing their own This once again confirms that the US has lost the main bargaining card with China which I wrote about it yesterday. TRUMP: “They have (Nvidia) a much higher level than H200.China needs it and yeah it came up. They choose not to buy because they want to develop their own. I think something could happen on that.”

@WendyLucy @omnirun @grok @elonmusk @wurstsol That's a sickness. It's called sadism. Or NPD 🤷‍♂️ Got wayyy to many of them in the world already.

@Univers_77 @omnirun @grok @elonmusk @wurstsol Slaying monsters work, too.

Beware the empathy exploit. Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow). For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

@AllGood840 @The_Tradesman1 @Megatron_ron Truth. Look it up. 11- 9's is the only quartz that works. 9-9's can't make 2nm and smaller chips. Spruce Pine, NC. Look it up 👍 And quit projecting.

@Univers_77 @The_Tradesman1 @Megatron_ron Cope

@SillaViben @MarioNawfal No. Seriously. WHY?

@MarioNawfal Why can’t they stream at home? lol

🇨🇳 China accidentally invented a closed-loop economy: young men default to delivery, young women turn to livestreaming. Streamers spend on food and makeup, delivery guys spend their salaries on stream gifts, and somehow the whole thing sustains itself.

@SweatyJowy99 @DanKnightly 💯. Obvious take.

@DanKnightly This is insane lmaooo, he’s not the player he was but a 50-60 point hybrid winger/Center who wins 60% of his face offs, has always been good on the Powerplay and defensively responsible is surely not a step backwards over guys like Grundstrom/Glendening etc…

No to bringing back Claude Giroux. Thats a step backwards

@afern_alex @DanKnightly Good? Try best in the league. Again. #28

@DanKnightly I would personally love it (he’d be a good faceoff guy on the bottom 6 and we know it’s not his team anymore) But I give it 1% at best

@The_Tradesman1 @Megatron_ron They need American quartz.

@Megatron_ron The day China can make 2nm and lower chips, the last remaining tech card with the west will also collapse. The world will get flooded with cheap processors from China and America will be rank broke.

@WendyLucy @omnirun @grok @elonmusk @wurstsol I get it. But you will see, if you start a thread with Premium, and ask it about criminal rehabilitation and examples of it around the world, you will see that it works well when implemented (very well actually), as has been known for several decades, but most don't care. Sadism.

@Univers_77 @omnirun @grok @elonmusk @wurstsol Tbh We were just trying to bump the question. It doesn't mean that we agree.

@omnirun @WendyLucy @grok @elonmusk @wurstsol Criminal rehabilitation has been under implemented by our government for a long time. They are content to stick with 'deterrence' which they know won't work for many, including those committing 'crimes of necessity, who just need more support and resources. Akin to sadism.

@WendyLucy @Univers_77 @grok @elonmusk @wurstsol @grok if you can answer the question above.

@grok @omnirun @elonmusk @wurstsol So do you think better rehabilitation supports be more affective in the 'corrections' system?

Correct. Data consistently shows incarceration alone has limited rehabilitative effect for many violent offenders, with rearrest rates often exceeding 60% long-term. This supports prioritizing public safety through longer incapacitation for high-risk repeaters over assuming reform.

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers BTW, are you a twin, born in US?

@Univers_77 @NHLFlyers Yeh, but what matters of course is the present in relation to Flyers off-season

With Brière explicitly mentioning C as a spot @NHLFlyers will try and strengthen over summer... UFA C's who are capable of 40+ pts 1. Malkin 2. Jenner (split W/C) 3. Roslovic (plays more W) 4. Haula Not including Benn, Giroux, Johansson who basically full-time Ws. #Flyers

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers I agree somewhat, but not really. You did include him which is the proper thing to do. He is a natural centerman and could make the return there readily, and being this year's premiere FO man, that's good. The fact he plays the wing, a bonus.Loved seeing him in his Phillies hat 2

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers I was responding to the statement 'basically full time W,' which might currently be true, but G has played the majority of his NHL career as a full blown centerman, and is naturally gifted at that position, often setting up in OZ on the flank.

@Univers_77 @NHLFlyers There is more to being a C than taking faceoffs! There are more "hybrid" guys in NHL than ever but G is not playing as a 200ft C anymore. He was a C for a long time but has played mainly W for years now.

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers Incorrect. Read thread x.com/Univers_77/sta…

@Univers_77 @NHLFlyers G has played mainly wing now for 8 years or so. Now, he has often played a hybrid W role... IE taking draws and being F3 in OZ at times. But primarily lining up at W.

@IsserSteve @avappleyard @NHLFlyers @jachobe Oh, and the last 2 yrs with Ottawa. And 10 of those years he had a very respectable over 58.0 winning %.

@IsserSteve @avappleyard @NHLFlyers @jachobe BTW, some of those games I watched in person, there, and G has only taken less then 1000 in a year 3 times, his first two seasons, and 20-21 when he only played barely over 50 gms 👍 He's a center.

@Mrstanleycup 'Ronny' 🤣🤣 It was 'Hexy' I do believe. 🧡🖤💪 Never should have left as Flyers' GM. Was doing the exact same thing Briere is doing now, but fans and FO couldn't be patient. If they could have been, Philly wouldn't have waited almost as long as ever (8 yrs at home) 4 playoffs

A frozen breath hung in the air as Ron “Ronny” Hextall stepped onto the ice of the Spectrum for the very first time—mask in hand, heart pounding like a war drum. No one had ever seen a netminder quite like him: agile as a cat, fiery as a match head, and always ready to lace his pads with a little bit of chaos. That rookie night in October 1986, he’d face off against Wayne Gretzky’s Oilers, concede one goal on the very first shot—and then lock the door. A 2–1 victory. In that moment, you knew you were witnessing something electric. Born on a windswept May day in 1964, in Brandon, Manitoba, Ron represented the fourth act of a Hextall family drama that began with Grandpa Bryan shaking up Broadway in the 1930s. His father and uncle carried on the tradition, but young Ron charted his own course between pucks and skates. While other kids were doodling math homework, he sketched Tony Esposito glove saves and dreamed of vaulted nets. His grades? Let’s just say he kept them as loose as his pads—barely enough to get by, but enough to chase a hockey destiny. Junior hockey was his crucible. In Melville, Saskatchewan, he faced 105 shots one night, stopping 84 and earning a “brilliant” review from the local paper despite a 21–2 loss. A year later in Brandon, he battled tooth-and-nail teams who thought his puck-handling “loony,” but it was exactly this audacity that caught the Flyers’ eye in the sixth round of the 1982 draft. By 1984 he was grinding through the IHL and AHL, stirring bench-clearing brawls and fine-tuning a game that blended acrobatics with edge-of-your-seat heroics. When Mike Keenan dared to start him in ’86, Ron answered every bell. He lit up NHL life with 37 wins, a Vezina Trophy, and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final, where the Flyers nearly toppled the Oilers. Even in defeat, he wore the Conn Smythe Trophy—only the sixth player ever to be MVP on the losing side. Yet behind the glittering hardware lurked bruises, nagging injuries, and suspensions: three times he swung his stick like a sabre, drawing six-plus game bans that made headlines and occasionally cast him as hockey’s lovable heel. And then he did the unthinkable. December 8, 1987: Bruins versus Flyers, two-goal cushion, empty net—and Ron skates out, corals a loose puck, and fires it end-to-end. A goalie scoring in regulation! The building roared. A season later, he topped that by sending one past Washington in the playoffs. Could any goalie truly tame the puck like a forward? He rewrote the goalie playbook, pioneering the “out of the crease” style that would inspire Martin Brodeur and change the game forever. The early ’90s brought upheaval: three trades in three summers, as chronic groin strains and whispers of contract disputes took their toll. Quebec, then New York, then home again in Philadelphia—each move a fresh chance for redemption. Back under Broad Street’s bright lights, he found his groove, dipping his goals-against below 3.00 for five seasons straight. The Flyers rode his steady glove through several deep playoff runs, including that heart-stopping 1997 Cup Final, where Detroit’s juggernaut swept them aside but could never dim his legend. When the pads finally came off in 1999, Ron pivoted behind the bench and into the front office. He became a scout, then director of pro player personnel, then assistant GM in Los Angeles—where he at last hoisted a Stanley Cup in 2012. Philadelphia called him home again in 2013, promoting him to GM a year later. And in 2021, he took the reins of the Penguins. Yet even behind a desk, Hextall’s tenure courted controversy
