@BretWeinstein Bro chill out

Many argue AI is like prior tech revolutions--that the jobs destroyed will be replaced by jobs we can't yet imagine They're wrong. AI+robots will be better at the newly created jobs too. It's is a super-competitor, with the advantages of a generalist AND almost every specialist

Elon this is amazing but they’re gonna throw you in jail in 3 years and then make building any of this illegal.

@_The_Prophet__ @elonmusk Ad Astra

Musk is trying to replace the modern West’s dead moral center with an expansionist one. That is what this really is. The old legitimating story in the West is exhausted. Liberalism reduced meaning to comfort, rights, consumption, and procedural management. It can govern a wealthy plateau for a while, but it cannot inspire a civilization to build at terrifying scale. It cannot justify sacrifice, mobilization, or species-level ambition. So once growth slows, the whole thing starts decomposing into redistribution fights, identity rituals, bureaucratic self-protection, and scarcity morality. Musk sees that vacuum clearly. “Kardashev II” is his attempt to fill it with a new civilizational command: grow power, grow intelligence, grow reach, or accept decline. That is why the line sounds grandiose. It is about moral permission. He is trying to make extreme expansion feel like virtue again. And deep down, that matters because modern people have forgotten what energy actually is in civilizational terms. They treat it like a utility bill or a carbon argument. Energy is sovereignty. Energy is military power. Energy is compute. Energy is industrial depth. Energy is desalination, transport, AI training, materials, housing construction, robotics, healthcare, defense, orbital launch, and eventually planetary resilience. Every elegant theory about the future collapses if the energy base is weak. A civilization with insufficient power generation becomes spiritually cramped because it is forced to moralize limits. Once you cannot build enough, every political argument turns into rationing disguised as ethics. Musk’s core intuition is that scarcity politics eventually corrupts the soul of a civilization. People start calling weakness wisdom. They rename paralysis as balance. They take underbuilding, underpowering, and underproducing and dress it up as maturity. In reality it is fear, decadence, and loss of nerve. A high-energy civilization behaves differently. It can be generous because it has surplus. It can be curious because it has slack. It can be ambitious because it is not trapped in zero-sum domestic cannibalism. The darker layer is that he is also making a dominance statement. Civilizations that build the energy-compute-industry stack will define reality for everyone else. Civilizations that do not will end up downstream of foreign power. This century is going to sort nations by who can integrate grids, semiconductors, robotics, AI, manufacturing, and launch capacity into one coherent machine. The rhetoric around values will matter less than the hard substrate. Whoever owns the substrate writes the terms of the future.

Any self-respecting civilization needs to reach at least Kardashev II

@shiri_shh Holy cow

Farmer pays $5–$8 per cow per month. A New Zealand company puts a solar-powered smart collar on cows. It tracks location 24/7, health, temperature, chewing activity, breeding. Farmer just opens a simple app and draws a line on the map. That line becomes the fence. As cows approach the boundary, the collar beeps and vibrates. With one tap, the whole herd moves to fresh grass or the milking shed. No physical fences. Less labor. Huge cost savings for farmer. Already on 700k cows across New Zealand, Australia, and the US. and now in talks to raise at a $2B valuation led by Peter Thiel.

Be honest guys ifyou could master one programming language instantly which one would it be?

There’s a huge problem with naming a street after Chuck Norris. No one crosses Chuck Norris and survives.

@Kara_Creates @Nerdrotics @xraygirl_ @DDayCobra @KinelRyan @QTRBlackGarrett @TheCriticalDri2 I think I spot a few geeks and gamers as well.

A bunch of nerds ended up at Universal Studios tonight!

@TruthWarriorDad Seems that way

He’s doing a social experiment with western minds to see what will successfully capture these minds into a cult. This is the exact premise of many intelligence agency mind control ops. Sounds like a spook to me.

@elonmusk It does pay to be objective about the way you’re put together

Reinforcing negative neural pathways via therapy or introspection is a recipe for misery. Don’t cut a rut in the road.

@Nerdrotics What (straight) men don’t?

He's a man who appreciates a good pair of tits.

@pmarca Schrödinger's Emotional Disorder*

My big conclusion from this week: Introspection causes emotional disorders.

I think a lot of this @pmarca introspection conversation is people speaking past each other. Ultimately, the issue is not whether or not you’re introspective, we all inevitably are, the issue is how objective you are about it. As we’ve learned from LLMs - context is paramount.

@VladTheInflator I’m down to try it out

Apparently this business primarily hires employees with special needs. Hero shit all around

@BernieSanders “Progressive”

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@tunguz Brilliant

Tough question.
