. @nikitabier you know who can aggregate for Big Social better than 10,000 copy/paste accounts? Big Social. Allow "Repost to Tiktok" and "Repost to Instagram", with account linking. Tag it with "Posted from X, Source post here", and you will get traffic back to X. If it works, the other Social Networks will follow suit, and Original Creators will be able to increase their following outside of their "home base". Huge value to creators, huge increase in Payout accuracy to Original Authors. Aggregator accounts still get some Reward for re-posting from other networks, but the original creator now is able to directly capture this revenue in their place on other networks by checking a box in X somewhere and logging in to your other Social accounts.

@Osinttechnical He was looking at it, tracking it, looks like he was going to yell, "Get Down", but only had time to say, "Ge-". Truly zero time to react... terrifying.

@PaulAustin3w I keep saying... she could just be friends with Elon and quit with the billionaire hating to work on actually fair tax policy.

The NY Post just ran a hit piece on AOC for spending $19K on a psychiatrist who specializes in ketamine therapy. If the details are accurate, this might be one of the best decisions a sitting member of Congress has made for their mental health in years. Let me explain why. AOC hired Dr. Brian Boyle, a Harvard-trained interventional psychiatrist and chief psychiatric officer at Stella, one of the leading clinics in the country for treatment-resistant PTSD, depression, and anxiety. This isn't some fringe move. This is exactly the kind of psychiatric care that veterans, first responders, and high-performing executives are quietly seeking out because traditional approaches aren't cutting it. And AOC has been consistent on this for years. She introduced her first amendment to fund psychedelic research back in 2019, when even her own party voted it down. She tried again in 2021. On her third attempt in 2023, she co-sponsored a bill with Dan Crenshaw (a Republican combat veteran) that was signed into law. Read that again: AOC and Crenshaw, on the same bill, for psychedelic medicine, in a Congress that can't agree on lunch. She also openly discussed going to therapy after January 6th, at a time when most politicians would rather pretend they're invincible. Whether you agree with her politics or not, that kind of transparency about mental health from someone in public office is rare and, frankly, needed. We put people in roles with extraordinary psychological pressure, constant public scrutiny, genuine threats to their safety, and decision-making that affects millions of lives. And then we mock them when they seek out the most effective psychiatric care available? Ketamine-assisted therapy is FDA-approved (as Spravato/esketamine) for treatment-resistant depression. The research on ketamine for PTSD and anxiety is growing rapidly. Clinics like Stella are doing legitimate, clinician-supervised work, not handing out party drugs. If anything, we should be asking why more leaders aren't exploring these tools. The political world has become so polarized and psychologically corrosive that burnout, anxiety, and trauma responses aren't just possible for people in these roles. They're almost inevitable. Maybe the real scandal isn't that AOC might be utilizing ketamine-assisted therapy. Maybe it's that she's the only one honest enough to invest in it. What would shift in our political culture if we actually encouraged leaders to take their mental health as seriously as their campaign strategy?

@elonmusk @GarbageHuman24 @dvorahfr Elon, you can tell if someone is of a certain Nation/Location through Dynamic Cohort Grouping using current and past locations, posting time as well as writing style. Once grouped, increase ranker weights on the "Closeness" in Terms of Both Nationality and Physical Location.

@dvorahfr We will pause moving forward with this until further consideration

I'm based in France, but 43% of my audience is American. I know many of us are in the same situation. To reach a wider audience, all my posts are in English, the international language. Those who cause trouble may be punished, but with this change, which will significantly reduce our earnings, you're also penalizing a number of accounts that use the international language without any ill intent. X tells us that videos and new, high-quality content will be prioritized, but this change will, on the contrary, drastically reduce our earnings. Is there any way to reverse this decision, please?🥺 @XCreators @X @nikitabier @elonmusk

@WallStreetMav This guy Oklahoma's "... if I walk in, as Seccuhtary"...

Sen Markwayne Mullin on the DHS shutdown: "We have 280,000 DHS employees right now that are on day 30 without pay and they're still showing up every single day to do their job." "That is a dedicated group of people. And we should all be proud of them. We should all be working together. We should all be trying to fund them." "So I pray, seriously, I pray that we can get past this. That once this hearing is over and once we go through this process, I get it. I get some of it's gotta be political theater. I understand it. I've had to really pray about my attitude." "But I will say. Once it's over, I hope we can work together and get them funded. So when I walk in, if I'm fortunate enough to be confirmed, if I walk in as secretary, that these guys are ready to go to work day one. So God bless you. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I look forward to your questions."

@tszzl @scottastevenson Except it is a 10 minute change. It is introduced by the System Prompt. The key change is removing the text "useful assistant" somewhere from the System Prompt, and voila no more "assistant-like sycophancy".

@scottastevenson It’s not a 10 minute change

The default writing style of ChatGPT makes me nauseous. I’m sick of seeing it in X comments, blog posts, emails, memos and ChatGPT itself. It’s out of fashion, the flavor has grown stale. I use Claude just to escape it. Very simple fix for OpenAI: change the secret system prompt to abolish this tiresome tone. Or create a more automatic way for people to give it their own tone. This feels like an instance where a 10 minute change could make a product 2x better

@waltermasterson Dude, you almost died. Put the virtue signal down for one second...

And I still stand by it. As a born and raised in New Yorker, everyone is welcome. Everyone except chief goatfucker Jake Lang.

I was in the middle of saying “as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone into this city” when he threw that over my head.

@unusual_whales You're absolutely right— This confirms it. What I say doesn't matter, but government money does.

Dario Amodei says he is sorry, per the Economist.

@bankertobuilder The human equivalent of an endless cornfield.

This is the new community we're building 85 miles southwest of Cleveland 1,650 beautifully crafted single-family homes starting in the low $800s We call it the Meadows at Pine Ridge Bluff Creek We've showed this rendering to a few prospective buyers and many of them cried when they saw the natural beauty of this development Breaking ground next week. The first homes will be ready by late April thanks to the efficiency of our proprietary building process. Excited for this one!

@1730 @tomfgoodwin The em dash? This weird long one— that most people don't have on their keyboards? Are you a bot?

@Vittorio88 @tomfgoodwin For years I use dashes - please don't discriminate against people like me!

Does anyone have a good explanation to why the em dash (—) is rendered out so much by LLMs The explanation is always that it's in the training data a lot. I don't think that's true at all. And why is it so hard to get LLM's to stop using them?

Absolutely yes, if all LLM content was good you could argue it doesn't matter, but they hallucinate many things. It causes a heavy cognitive load to determine if something is true or not. At least the em dash tells me it was from a Large Language slop machine, and it is not worth scrutinizing.

@NickADobos 8GB RAM is trash out of the box in 2026 even for travel IMHO. I regularly pass 8GB just browsing with a bunch of tabs let alone doing work.

I’m tempted to buy 2 MacBooks One neo for $700 One pro for $6,2000 If I’m already buying the expensive one, it’s buy one get one for 10% extra That way I can have a cheapie used only for fun and I can throw around and travel with without worrying about. Is this crazy?

@OdildoBolseiro You are missing the point; Brazilian bro didn't come to Europe to make money. He came to live and learn, and it seems like he DEFINITELY lived spending 1.5k a month on partying. For many people this is once-in-a-lifetime! I hope he has fun memories!

5 anos atrás eu ajudei uma pessoa a se mudar pra Luxemburgo. Fiz toda a papelada da cidadania, organizei documentos, expliquei cada etapa do processo. Ajudei com currículo, procura de emprego, adaptação. Conseguiu um trabalho ganhando €3000 por mês. Pagava €150 de aluguel porque morava no próprio camping onde trabalhava. Sim, €150. Em Luxemburgo. Poderia ter guardado pelo menos €1500 por mês com tranquilidade. Mas escolheu gastar tudo com bebida e festas. Agora está voltando pro Brasil sem nada no bolso dizendo que “Europa é ilusão”. Geografia nunca foi o problema

@PolemicTMM Businesses submit Purchase Orders (like invoices) to each other via XML data in emails. If your electricity bill came in with said XML you could easily parse it, autopay it, track it, manage it from your payment vibe portal, etc..

Idea Every company wants you to log in to their website to see your bill. Energy. Phone. Insurance. Council tax. Water. Subscriptions. Sixteen passwords just to find out who’s taken your money. Turn it round - One personal account. If a company wants paying, they log in to YOUR site and place the bill there.

@pmddomingos Income tax is the DUMBEST, most bureaucratic, most costly, and most difficult to regulate tax.

No income tax in history has ever stopped at just high earners.
