tdlr; new hubris in Jensen's voice Jensen is always interesting. His story is truly inspiring and uplifting. And the end of this has great advice and optimism. Having said that, he used to exude humility but listen the tone of hubris here. There's nothing concerning, no fears. I hope it doesn't indicate the pride before the fall. youtube.com/watch?v=vif8NQ…

@Osint613 OMG what a moron

Joe Rogan thinks PM Netanyahu and Netanyahu’s brother are dead. This is the most popular podcast with the largest audience globally. We are doomed.

@historyinmemes The sound of eating present in this video would drive me into a violent rage if I was forced to endure it for longer than a few seconds

The time Nancy Silverton made a dessert so extraordinary it brought Julia Child to tears (1997).

@nikitabier That's great Nik. So when are you going to reduce bot influence on x again?

For the rest of the year, the word for everyone working at the frontier of AI will be: Prosumer

Honestly. My trust in @elonmusk (and @nikitabier) meaning what he says about making x truthful and reducing bots is so weakened by their inaction. It's SO easy to put in features (toggle to remove influence/engagement by country) that would radically help. Their failure to do so seems intentional.

The narrative that Israeli PM Netanyahu is dead is not organic, it is a coordinated information operation largely coming from India and Pakistan based bot and sock puppet enterprises. I will prove it in this thread. 🧵 CC: @nikitabier

When do we acknowledge that this was a Hezbollah attack on a U.S. synagogue, and not some random American guy? x.com/DailyMail/stat…

The fake (not blue) 'see more' at the end of posts, just to get you to click 🤮. Tell me you're engagement farming without telling me you ...see more

@gummibear737 Don't give him such a hard time. He's doing the right thing. You're making it hard for someone to come back

“Don’t notice the rot I helped create”

The fact that Trump played the Ides of March in reverse against the conspirators against him, tho.

A bunch of people reached out asking if they can match Lindsay and my gifts to Chabad on Campus this weekend. Of course. The more the better 💙 All weekend people have been sharing stories with me about the Chabad on their campus. When a parent died. When they felt alone. When they were struggling to find community. Or when they simply needed a place for Shabbat dinner. Same story every time. The rabbi and rebbetzin showed up with kindness and open arms. If you want to help support Jewish students across Canada, DM me and we’ll direct it to some of the incredible campus centers we’re supporting, including @chabadwestern, @JewishWaterloo, @chabadguelph, @McGillChabad, @ChabadConcordia, @ChabadQueens, @ChabadUBC, @ChabadCalgary, @ChabadDal, and @ChabadUofA.

Most essential read since @roddreher's visit to DC.

@sporadica Features I need: - Mute by country - Mute by VPN use - Mute by ideology - Mute by angry comment history

Thank you @Zoom for taking 120 seconds to start up each time, freezing my computer and popping up 6 windows in the process. You are now on par with @MicrosoftTeams. Ensh$ttification at work!

"Will this allow to exists?" Why do so many posts on this website sound like they were written by illiterates? I want a toggle for at least a 6th grade reading level.

@garrytan I think your support for them has more to do with the fact you're invested in them. There are very well researched videos showing the dark side of Flock

Flock Safety makes cities in which it operates significantly safer from violent crime. The numbers are plainly obvious.

@thecoastguy What about healing professions? Chiropractor, couples counselor, mental health professional etc all the "come back forevers"

If a charitable entity is not working towards its own redundancy, it's a racket.

@JoshuaBaer @cartainc @AngelList Can you do me a favor and have your @AngelList rep contact me?

I’ve been working with both @cartainc and @AngelList since they started. Carta keeps getting more expensive and crappier. Lots of mistakes, no customer service, 4% annual cost increase. AngelList keeps getting cheaper and better. New products, more automation, cost goes down.

@bryan_johnson Observing Sabbath & holidays makes a huge difference. Bryan, you're in a position to advocate for mental well-being. Jewish tradition has a lot to say about unplugging. Read Charlie Kirk's new book or ask a traditional (Orthodox) Jewish friend what Shabbos is like.

I can’t help but think (and feel) that the world is generally very sad right now. Injured really. Yesterday I was in Utah with family. Three generations. We played sports, enjoyed good food, saw friends, and just messed around all day. One of the best days in recent memory for all of us. This is where I grew up. It took me back to my childhood. Allowing me to embody those psychological states and feel the comparative difference between then and now. The hollowing and sadness of the modern world seems to stem in part from our phones, social media, and the ferocious need to be seen and relevant in every moment. We have mistakenly idolized a specific kind of dysfunction: a manic, sleepless hyper-vigilance that needs to be omnipresent. Everyone I know who’s unplugged for a week, returns reporting life-changing levels of improved life satisfaction. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t return feeling spry and vibrant and clear-eyed about the corrosive nature of current social culture. The science supports them feeling that way. They were in a dopamine deficit from the hyper-stimulated state of the world so everything felt gray.  So why don’t we unplug more and more often? We’re all kind of trapped in a prisoner's dilemma. Most want to move to the mountains and be relieved of it all but are terrified that if they unplug, they’ll be invisible. Real life consequences of reduced power and status. So we stay plugged in and drink the poison. This hypervigilant state keeps us in chronic fight or flight (anxiety). Simultaneously, our addiction creates a dopamine deficit (the emptiness/grayness feeling) and a background hum of anxiety. Mammals are biologically hardwired to co-regulate: physical touch, eye contact, proximity and in-person vibes. Things which release oxytocin and activate the vagal nerve's parasympathetic system. Screens eliminate all of this goodness. There are small wins to be had here. More in-person time. A day off technology per week. A block of 4 hours. One hour before bedtime.  I hope that there’s a collective awakening that we’re all being mined for engagement. Then we get trapped. And then trap each other.

@michaelhitack When I watched this I was really annoyed with Hollywood. It was clear to me they were characterizing Tucker and I thought it was typical BS. Now I'm annoyed they were right...

Groyper interviewing for a job.

Leibel is in recovery ❤️‍🩹 now after his 10th Surgery. Here is an interview he and his mother did on Thursday before his 9th Surgery ths next day. They are both my heroes. Watch for yourself. chabad.org/multimedia/vid…
