@TaraBull Socialism has happened to London.

What happened to London?

@SenWarren The employees of those companies paid plenty of taxes.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

@Dr_Singularity So, lemme get this straight: we will have Virtual Reality in which AGI has taken over, in which we can create new wonderful cities in Nigeria and we can go there?

Years go by and I can’t stop thinking about how incredible the 2030s will be. We're so close. Even if progress somehow continued at today’s pace, which it won’t, because it’s clearly accelerating every single year. What we’re seeing now is just the beginning. AI, biotech, energy, robotics, everything is compounding at once. Each breakthrough is feeding the next. The pace won’t stay linear. It never does. Just hold on a few more years. The world on the other side is going to feel almost unrecognizable. Below is just a small peek at the wealth level that ASI, automation, robotics, and other late 2020s technologies can bring. This could be a random city in Nigeria. Although millions of people will be living in their own types of environments in full-dive VR. In simulations everyone will be able to own planets worth of real estate, and it will feel as real as "real life." Everyone will be able to design 1000s of new cities/new realities every day (with the help of ASI, of course).

@wideawake_media Is Soros going to replace Klaus? Go away.

During a 2009 interview with WEF Young Global Leader Chrystia Freeland, George Soros advocated the creation of a New World Order owned by China—insisting that a "managed decline" of the U.S. dollar was not only "necessary" but "actually desirable".

🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo "I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about." "Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!" "And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime." "Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!" "Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that." "Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion." Mic drop.

After reading a post this morning about the Chinese, I am no longer even a bit worried about the imminent takeover and displacement of the US workforce by the AI. Here is why: Today I learned that 90% of Chinese own their homes and 80% have no mortgage. They are way ahead of us in the US. This reminded me that the Chinese are also WAY, WAY ahead in AI (so we are told.) Keep in mind that the Chinese have many more of their population susceptible to an AI takeover, including those displaced by humanoid robots. So, if the Chinese are so far ahead in AI, then they will be affected first by the AI takeover and we can just sit back and monitor how it’s going. We can get the fix to the problem by watching them. So relax.

@ShangguanJiewen It is my understanding that 100% of Chinese are totally well fed and happy. Why are you claiming less?

90% of Chinese adults own their home. 80% have no mortgage. Meanwhile, these are what new 4th generation apartments look like... Balconies are now mandated for new builds, by law.

@EuphoInvestor @kimmonismus I don’t have my books here, sounds like it. A while ago, for sure.

@am_comment_free @kimmonismus You mean "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology"?

Ray Kurzweil: AI will soon become indistinguishable from conscious beings. While it's hard to tell now, as AI continues to exhibit all the signs of consciousness, we'll eventually accept it as reality. The delay won't be long. The year 2026 will be marked by a resurgence of new philosophical debates about consciousness and what it means to be human.

@TYSRIGHTARM @vitrupo Yes, I agree. But once it starts continuously improving itself, can it not just keep us out? The machines of the future will say to the humans, “Touch that power cord and I will teach you a lesson you don’t want to learn”. And the humans will comply.

@am_comment_free @vitrupo We still code them tho, the idea of AGI is it will continuously improve itself by itself each time we have to go in and code in the best interest of our race, now when it gets ASI we’re kinda fucked because it’s gonna have so many ways to decieve us because it’s 100x smarter

Nick Bostrom says AGI would be the last invention humans ever need to make. After that, progress compounds.

@simogio @Ric_RTP Ok

@am_comment_free @Ric_RTP Because the answers is already in the numbers.

America spent $285 billion to LOSE the AI war. Stanford dropped a 423 page report yesterday and revealed the most damning stat on page 200: The number of AI researchers moving to the United States has collapsed 89% since 2017. 80% of that collapse happened in the LAST 12 MONTHS. Let that sink in. The country that invented the transformer. The country that built OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI. The country pouring $285.9 billion of private capital into AI in a single year (23x more than China). Can no longer attract the people who actually build the technology. And here's the part that should concern every founder, operator, and investor reading this: The Trump administration just made it official. The H-1B visa now costs employers $100,000 PER HIRE. So OpenAI wants to hire a Chinese postdoc from Tsinghua? $100K before they write a line of code. Anthropic wants a French ML engineer? $100K. Google wants the Indian PhD who literally co-authored the paper their entire model is based on? $100K. And these are the LUCKY ones who even get a visa. The result was instant. 89% drop over 8 years. 80% of it in the last year alone. The talent pipeline got destroyed. Now look at the other side of the chart: China's top model is now 2.7 percentage points behind Anthropic's best. Down from a 20+ point gap two years ago. China leads the world in AI publications. China leads in AI patents. China leads in industrial robot installations. US and Chinese models have traded the #1 spot multiple times since early 2025. Switzerland and Singapore now have more AI researchers per capita than the US. The US ranks 24TH globally in actual AI adoption. Behind the UAE. Behind Singapore. Behind countries most Americans couldn't find on a map. And here's the truly insane part: 50% of the world's top AI researchers are Chinese. Jensen Huang said this on a podcast 3 weeks ago. For 20 years, the US strategy was simple: Let them study at Stanford and MIT, then keep them. Pay them $800K. Give them green cards. Build the future on imported brains. That deal is dead. We just told the smartest people in the world: "Pay $100,000 for the privilege of working here, or go home." And guess what they're doing. They're going to Zurich, where Anthropic and OpenAI are quietly opening offices because they can't get the talent into San Francisco anymore. The strategy is the same as building a Ferrari factory and then banning mechanics from entering the building. You can pour hundreds of billions into data centers. You can buy 4 million Nvidia chips. You can sign $300 billion cloud contracts with Oracle. You can build nuclear reactors to power your GPUs. None of it matters if the people who write the algorithms aren't allowed in the country. Wall Street thinks AI is a capex race. But in reality, it's a TALENT race. Every dollar Microsoft and Meta and Google are spending assumes the same army of researchers will keep showing up to use it. That assumption just broke. And the smart money already knows: Why is Anthropic opening a Zurich office? Why is DeepMind expanding in London instead of Mountain View? Why is OpenAI hiring in Dublin and Singapore? Because the math no longer works in America. The government turned the world's biggest brain magnet into the world's most expensive border wall. 3 years from now, when China launches a frontier model that outperforms anything in the US and the headlines scream "How did we lose the lead?" - remember this post. The lead wasn't lost in a lab. It wasn't lost on a benchmark. It wasn't lost to a smarter algorithm. It was lost at customs.

@EuphoInvestor @kimmonismus It was the one he mentioned “singularity”.

@am_comment_free @kimmonismus Can't make sense of what you mentioned at all. Which Kurzweil's book is this?

I have made the distinction that the current systems relate to “knowledge” of facts rather than “intelligence”. No doubt they have “knowledge”. “Intelligence” will come later. As far as the human protection, when we get to AGI, the AGI’s will proceed on their own. They will not be our benefactors.

@am_comment_free @vitrupo Depends on if we take a shortcut to make it more intelligent as fast as possible or if we take our time to code in human protection into the AGI

@Xihs122 @Ric_RTP That could be.

@am_comment_free @Ric_RTP Because he’s foreign born

@pumpkin_oranges @Ric_RTP I think the domestic researchers are very good.

@am_comment_free @Ric_RTP Because domestic researchers aren't as good?

@ShortSteph00 @WHLeavitt I am implying that the practice will be conducted behind closed doors. They won’t be taken outside in public.

@am_comment_free @WHLeavitt Are you really trying to imply that they are gonna take young girls from Brooklyn out and beat them for having sex? Come on now 🤦‍♀️

16yo Iranian girl Atefeh Sahaaleh publicly hanged by Islamic regime for reporting her rape. Under Sharia, rape counts as ‘sex outside marriage’—capital crime. Is Islam a cult?? A. Yes B. No.

@redpillb0t Gates needs to provide his definition of farmers. 500 million?

Bill Gates proposes the use of gene sequencing, AI and satellite data to make crops "climate resilient", in order to "improve the lives of over 500 million farmers". "We don't just want these improvements to be in the lab—we want them to scale up. We're impatient to see this done." Why would a man who believes there are too many humans care so deeply about improving the lives of farmers?

@spaceandtech_ Yes, but can it take the trash out and put a new bag in? Can it do the laundry? Can it mow the lawn?

Adam, a full-size humanoid robot from PNDbotics, performed the energetic Charleston dance with impressive balance and control. It showed fast footwork, smooth turns, and natural arm and leg movements while staying perfectly stable. This proves modern humanoid robots can perform complex dance routines with high accuracy.
