☝️We need to open up research. Research should be conducted in the public sphere if it’s to be believed. The consensus engine of existing studies being behind pay walls and “peer” reviewed has failed society. Most research is paid for by special interest groups connected to industries that benefit in proving or disproving the hypothesis.

@macfarlanemoney ☝️What does recall mean? If it means anything close to the base definition of the actual word then why the fuck are we still using the word recall That means every desktop or phone that has ever had a software patch has experienced a recall?! Get the fuck out of here

It keeps getting worse... NHTSA just escalated its probe into $TSLA to an Engineering Analysis. The final step before a potential mandated recall. The focus: The "degradation detection system" meant to warn drivers when cameras are blinded by fog or glare. Scope: ~3.2M vehicles (Model S, 3, X, Y, & Cybertruck) Crashes: 9 incidents identified, including 1 fatality. If a safety defect is confirmed, an OTA recall is likely.

@ID_AA_Carmack ☝️I feel like you and Jack Dorsey should collaborate on protocols specifically. I feel like there’s an infrastructure upgrade path simmering below the surface everywhere and we just need a few high level execution experts at the helm

When you stream Spotify to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, the audio comes over the network lossily compressed with Vorbis or AAC codecs, is then decoded on your device to 48 Khz raw samples, then the Bluetooth stack lossily re-compresses it with SBC or AAC codecs before sending it over the airwaves to the speakers. I don’t have “golden ears” to pick apart audio quality like I can with, say, missing gamma correction on texture filtering, but that still hurts my system optimization soul. It is likely over-optimization, but It would be cleaner if there were a way to send bluetooth-ready, compressed audio directly.

The media is running a story today about how a Cybertruck “allegedly” crashed on a Texas highway. Spoiler alert, the crash happened while the human driver was in control. The law firm, which is seeking $1 million, says that last summer Justine Saint Amour was driving her Cybertruck with Autopilot engaged. There’s just one problem — Autopilot is a legacy lane keeping system that never shipped on Cybertruck. The driver then admits that before the crash they disengaged the system and started driving manually. Indeed, the video shows the truck starting to turn before the driver disengaged and drove into the wall. Tesla hasn’t officially responded to the lawsuit yet, but available telemetry indicates the driver probably wasn’t paying attention, got startled, and crashed. There doesn’t seem to be any attempt to steer back towards the on-ramp in the video, rather you see the trajectory change from turning with the ramp to driving straight into it. When you crash your car, people tend to put blame on anyone but themselves. A high profile company like Tesla, with a CEO who is the wealthiest man on Earth? Yeah, they kinds of BS lawsuits happen often. Let’s wait for more data and discovery to take place, but based on the evidence i’m seeing so far that doesn’t look like something FSD — even an older V13 — would do.

@nypost ☝️Ooohhh. Your legal team didn’t do the same thing the other companies reporting this did. So the cybertruck nearly drove a mom and baby off an overpass. Not allegedly. Crazy shift in reporting here.

@oracleJM84 @joeroganhq Sound logic. It should come with a spoiler too with that chain of thinking. Maybe a gas cap on the charging port. And a push button start. For the price why aren’t they included too

Andrej Karpathy just dropped a project scoring every job in America on how likely an AI will replace it from 0-10 > Scraped all 342 occupations from the Bureau of Labor > Fed each one to an LLM with a detailed scoring rubric > Built an interactive treemap where rectangle size = number of jobs and color = how exposed that job is to AI The key signal in his scoring: if the work product is fundamentally digital and the job can be done entirely from a home office, exposure is inherently high. The scale: 0-1: Roofers, janitors 4-5: Nurses, retail, physicians 8-9: Software devs, paralegals, data analysts 10: Medical transcriptionists Average across all 342 occupations: 5.3/10. The entire pipeline is open source. BLS scraping, LLM scoring, the visualization. All of it. Much respect for the sensei this is scary and awesome

Seems like Victoria’s Secret is finally done with their “body positivity” era - where, in a misguided attempt to include everyone who claims to be a victim of “toxic” beauty standards, they forgot what made the brand iconic in the first place. Thank God!🪽❤️‍🔥

@Wheels19NS @blubal42 @TonyLaneNV If we knew more about his specific level of ancestral oppression I could get behind that but I don’t think the officers had time to pull that up for now I’d err on the side of caution and attempt to actually shoot his bullets as they leave the gun itself

🚨 NEW BODYCAM FOOTAGE RELEASED The traffic stop that went viral now has bodycam showing what actually happened. Deputies in San Marcos pulled over a red Hyundai Sonata for a vehicle code violation late at night. While checking the car, they noticed registration inconsistencies and damage to the steering column, raising suspicions the vehicle could be stolen. Then things escalated. Police say the 33-year-old passenger ignored repeated commands, rolled up his window, reached toward the floorboard, and armed himself with a semiautomatic handgun. Officers safely removed the 21-year-old driver, but the passenger refused orders to drop the weapon and raised the gun. At that point, five deputies and an officer opened fire. The man was pronounced dead. The original video sparked intense debate online… but now the bodycam is adding new context to what unfolded. After seeing the details - what’s your conclusion? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

☝️I’d go a step further they should have shot the gun out of his hand. That’s still a little violent but we can’t expect all of them to be able to fire into the actual barrel itself to disable the firing pin without hurting his hand completely. Knocking it out of his hand is still going to hurt but I don’t expect perfection when under this amount of stress. Either way yeah they should all be fired.

Elon Musk just told lenders he's paying back $17.5 BILLION in debt across X and xAI. Including $3 billion in high-yield bonds being redeemed early at 117 cents on the dollar. NOBODY knows where the money is coming from. And nobody seems to care. Let me explain why you should: Morgan Stanley has been calling existing lenders and telling them everything gets repaid in full. The X debt from the Twitter buyout. The xAI bonds from June. All of it. The bonds were structured to stay outstanding for at least 2 years. They're being called back less than a year later at a 17% premium. Bondholders are thrilled. Of course they are. They're getting paid above par on junk paper. But here's the part that should make you uncomfortable: xAI lost $1.46 billion in a single quarter last year. Burned through $7.8 billion in cash in the first 9 months of 2025. Revenue for the September quarter was $107 million. That's a company hemorrhaging roughly $1 billion a month. On a standalone basis, xAI exited 2025 at about a $500 million annualized revenue run rate. Even with optimistic projections, they might hit $2 billion in 2026. So where does $17.5 billion come from? xAI raised $20 billion in a Series E round in January. That's the most likely answer. Take the money investors gave you to build AI infrastructure and use a huge chunk of it to retire debt. But that's NOT a sign of strength. That's financial engineering. You raise $20 billion from investors who think they're funding the next frontier of artificial intelligence, then you turn around and use most of it to clean up the balance sheet before an IPO. Because that's what this is really about. SpaceX is targeting a confidential SEC filing as early as this month. IPO could come in June. Valuation targets exceed $1.75 trillion. The combined SpaceX-xAI entity currently carries about $18 billion in obligations. You can't take a $1.25 trillion company public with $18 billion in legacy debt from a money-losing AI startup and a social media platform that was acquired with leveraged buyout financing. So you nuke the debt. Clean the balance sheet. Present a simpler story to IPO investors. Smart? Absolutely. But let's be honest about what it actually is. SpaceX proper generated about $15 billion in revenue and $8 billion in profit in 2025. xAI generated roughly $250 million in six months and lost $2.5 billion doing it. At a $1.5 trillion IPO valuation, you're looking at roughly 94x trailing sales and 500x trailing earnings for the combined business. Those are not rational multiples. Those are lottery ticket multiples with better branding. And the $17.5 billion debt payoff doesn't change the underlying economics. It only changes the optics. xAI is still burning close to $1 billion a month. Grok still has a fraction of ChatGPT's market share. The revenue doesn't come close to justifying the infrastructure spend. What this reminds me of is the classic pre-IPO playbook taken to an extreme: Use private capital to dress up the financials, time the listing for maximum enthusiasm, and let public market investors hold the bag if execution falls short. The companies that need to clean house before going public are rarely the ones that reward you for buying on day one. My positioning hasn't changed. The AI infrastructure spending boom is real. But the returns aren't materializing for the companies actually deploying the technology. That gap between spending and results is where fortunes get destroyed. Stay skeptical. Stay disciplined. And remember: If the source of $17.5 billion in repayment capital is a mystery, it's a WARNING.

@MissBrandyGreen Cool. She’s only said positive things about Chris Pratt, when confronted about these rumors she denies them all. She has only said that their relationship is amicable and positive for their child. Now by your rules you have to prove me wrong. 😎
