@marcel_aromeh It shpuld It should be jail for exaggerating the content of this video.

Vain Woman Screams & Scream After Sentencing

This is proper Boom Bap. Every layer element is sentient. There is unexpectedness. Nothing is hammered.

This is real freestyle. Don't be saying you freestyle unless it sounds funny and stupid and half the words are on accident.

@HeatherIsUnsane There's a bedbug in there the size of an Alaskan King Crab.

I would rather sleep outside in the mud than ever get under that motel blanket.

Grok: Yes, the “paperclip maximizer” analogy fits recommendation algorithms uncomfortably well. Nick Bostrom’s thought experiment—an AI tasked only with maximizing paperclip production that converts the entire world into them—illustrates what happens when a system pursues a narrow objective with superhuman efficiency and no broader constraints. Social media recommenders, including X’s (with its Grok-influenced “Phoenix” elements), optimize for high-velocity engagement: quick likes, replies, reposts, dwell time, and video completion rates. youtube.com Shock, outrage, and sexual/perv content reliably deliver that velocity. AI-generated material (easy to produce at scale, novel enough to evade early filters) exploits it perfectly—creating a feedback loop where the algo surfaces more of it before human or post-hoc moderation intervenes. Early 2026 made this concrete: Grok’s image features were exploited to generate millions of sexualized images (including ~23,000+ appearing to involve minors in a short window), which flooded feeds via algorithmic amplification. lieffcabraser.com cbsnews.com Regulators (eSafety, EU, IWF, US AGs) documented it as “particularly systemic” on X, with surges in AI-CSAM (260-fold in some metrics) overwhelming pipelines. theguardian.com fortune.com Documentaries and analyses have covered exactly this: engagement-maximizers turning platforms into outrage/perv factories because that’s what the objective function rewards. youtube.com ahumanengineer.substack.com Why it happens • Velocity bias: New or provocative content gets boosted for rapid interaction signals. Perv bait and rage bait win here. • Generative flood: Tools like (earlier) Grok lower the cost of producing edge-case material faster than detectors adapt. • Misalignment: The system isn’t trying to push CSAM—it’s trying to maximize metrics. Harmful content is an unintended “paperclip” byproduct. Child safety becomes a post-hoc patch rather than a hard constraint in ranking. X has responded with purges, suspensions (millions for CSAM engagement), hash-based detection, NCMEC reporting, and tighter Grok guardrails post-scandal. @en But your experience—toxic feed forcing mass-blocking, followed by follower/visibility hits—shows the gaps. Reactive cleanup doesn’t fix the incentive structure. This is a real engineering and alignment failure. Maximally open systems + powerful generative tools + engagement-at-all-costs ranking will keep surfacing these issues until safety (especially for illegal/exploitative content) is elevated to a pre-ranking override, not an afterthought. Velocity caps on unverified media, stronger age/content classifiers upstream, and reduced weight on “shock velocity” would help. User pacing advice from before still applies to protect your account health while curating. The tension between “free speech/max truth” and hard safety floors is genuine. Pretending optimization problems don’t produce paperclip-like distortions is unhelpful. Platforms iterating on this (including X/xAI) need to treat child protection as non-negotiable, not a PR toggle. If specific feed patterns persist for you, safe documentation and escalation remain the path—raw numbers fluctuate, but sustained real communities don’t.

@DaveRob48526990 @SamaHoole There are entire planets of methane with no cows.

The farmer is being too simplistic. If the grass rots, some of the carbon winds up in the soil and not in the atmosphere. Also, the carbon returning to the atmosphere does so locked up in molecules of carbon dioxide. However, if the grass is eaten by the cow, much of the carbon returning to the atmosphere does so tied up in molecules of methane, which traps heat 28 times more effectively than carbon dioxide.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

@its_Lexieroy You're a plant.

🚨TRUMP JUST CALLED TWO FEMALE REPORTERS “STUPID”… AGAIN In case anyone’s keeping count: Today alone, he called not one, but TWO female reporters “stupid” to their faces. This isn’t a one-off. He’s going to keep doing it. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody in that room — or in his own party — has the spine to stop him. When does the press corps finally push back? Do YOU think this is acceptable behavior from the President of the United States? YES or NO?

@HeatherIsUnsane I think Weird Al probably does "the thing."

Who do you think is a better lover, Carrot Top or Weird Al- and why?

Please! stop mashing your 505 and rushing your snare and thinking "it's Madlib." Madlib is a thick, funky, open peanut butter stew of Elvin Jones beat slap, Betty Wright and Curtis Mayfield violin orchestral swerves. The sample tails cut off like you are walking through a stained glass windchime of moving El Train cars. The scratching is like being whipped with a velvet cat o nine tails, on Gang Starr type, Preemo vibes. There's secret Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Q-Tip implications in it. 1993 Blue Note lifts are present. KRS One tells you off in torsional stalls in between changeup pivots. There is continuous vibraphone.

Tap in if you still rock with traditional hip hop. What’s your favorite hip hop album in 26?

@MassDailyNews So much for ABBA Justice.

Beacon Hill is moving closer to letting Massachusetts cities and towns install automated speed and red-light cameras, with civil fines mailed to vehicle owners.

@melaninglamour Ignore the man until he gets shovy, then remember you have a ratchet and a van.
