@PeterSweden7 Or maybe because of this

The AfD party looks set to win almost all regions in East Germany. Why? Because they remember the years of Communism. And they don't want it back.

@aidan_mclau It will be fixed. Anyway, nobody asks such questions...

truth-seeking ai

@lefthanddraft It's just a bug or whatever, and must be fixed.

"Ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation." This is part of the Grok prompt that returns search results. x.com/i/grok/share/N…

@eyeslasho And we love it

@FlyingDutchPall Cmon guys, it was a bug, or whatever, now it being fixed.

@LinusEkenstam You guys are really stupid 🤦‍♂️

You can’t script this… Me: Who is the biggest disinformation spreader on X? Grok: Elon Musk x.com/i/grok/share/1…

@LinusEkenstam I really like what I see in my feed it's all balanced. Didn't want to write this comment coz now algo will show me your boring generic posts for a week ;)

It’s not pseudo science anymore, what many of us hard core users have been seeing and feeling on here is actually true. X is not a transparent town square, it’s the new propaganda machine, wielded by the whims of the richest person on the planet, what could possibly go wrong?

@yanisvaroufakis He rise up, not fall down.

"Musk has seemingly become the first tech leader to fall down the rabbit hole of radicalisation by his own product (X.COM)" Or, in my parlance, he may be the first technofeudal lord to have fallen under the spell of his own cloud capital. ft.com/content/8e9159…

@thesamparr @levelsio Kids will take all your time, and with money you can still have it. But be prepared to spend.

@levelsio Do you ever want a family? My expenses were like $5k single. $15k when married. Maybe 40k with kid.

My current spending is ~$5K/mo That is if I don't travel, If I travel it goes 2x to 3x because Airbnbs are pricey compared to rent, and flights, eating outside more I'll probably get cancelled for spending so much on Uber, but it's not a lot of rides actually Also excludes annual taxes like capital gains and income tax Second home is my old rental shared with a friend

@elonmusk You're very welcome!

Huge thank you to everyone who supported this platform and our mutual quest to support freedom of speech!

@KonstantinKisin Yeah

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming. Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying. 1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage. 2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it. 3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same. 4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it. 5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border. 6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist. 7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it. 8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do. 9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past. 10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

@kimbal @elonmusk Yeah

Don’t bet against @elonmusk Alternative Energy Autonomous cars Global internet for everyone Free Speech Inter-planetary civilization 🚀🚗⚡️🇺🇸 Let’s fucking go

@mysteriouskat Well, actually that how you lose again...

Democrats: I know we are all crying today b/c Trump won. But make sure you don't accidentally self-reflect & analyze the reasons why those garbage, low-IQ voters chose him. Just continue to double down on the same things & yell at anyone who questions that. That's how we win.

@YourAnonCentral Always knew that modern anonymous movement is an Ukrainian scam...

Kamala hasn’t conceded as of yet and there are growing calls for an investigation to a litany of election irregularities including direct interference through bomb threats by Russia. Supporters are urging a recount in affected swing states.

@ylecun X is a real-world model, while all other social networks are artificial. Which one would you choose to be?

@Devon_Eriksen_ Finally some words of sanity.

When a communist asks you a question, his goal is almost never to get your answer. His goal is to get you to accept, without noticing, the false premise that the question is based on. For example, he will ask "What would you do, under capitalism, to solve the problem of wealth inequality?" He doesn't care about your answer. He's not even going to listen. His real goal to get you to submit to his false premise: the idea that "wealth inequality" is a problem. It is, of course, not a problem at all, but an indicator of a healthy economy. Wealth equality, on the other hand, is a symptom of universal poverty. The communist knows your initial impulse will be to answer hypotheticals honestly, because he knows you are a capitalist and have principles. You must never forget that he, being a communist, does not have principles, only the One Law Of Marxism: "Thou shalt not be better than me in any way." You must never treat with him as if he is speaking in good faith. Yann is a crypto-communist. He doesn't care how you answer any of his questions, he just wants you to answer them, because if you do, you have accepted his bullshit premises. Those are his real goal. All the questions are just an innocuous coating to hide the poison pill. The dregs of the third world are not coming to our shores because of "events aboard". The third world is in no worse condition than it ever was... in fact, capitalism has made things better for them than ever. They are coming here because certain groups of people want them here, and have not only opened the city gates, but made travel arrangements. We are not obliged to issue a single tourist visa, temporary worker visa, or any other type of visa. That is entirely up to us. And if we do choose to issue them, then overstaying them is a crime, which we can establish any sort of legal penalty to which we choose, up to and including death by stoning. We are have no moral obligation to take in a single asylum seeker, or even to review their cases. The fact that some infiltrator with no allegiance to America managed to get into office and sign a treaty against American interests does not trump American sovereignty. Some other nations might send us a strongly worded letter, the way they do with China when it drives tanks over its own citizens. So what? Borders are not difficult or expensive to defend. They are cheap and easy to defend. Nations have been defending borders for thousands of years. Sometimes they did it with nothing but bronze age technology. You just build a wall, and defend it with patrolling troops. Walls are not expensive, and they work great unless you don't defend them. That's why people have been building walls since the moment we figured out how to build anything at all. So, this is the communist algorithm again: 1. Make up a bunch of bullshit that isn't so. 2. Ask you a hypothetical question based on the bullshit. 3. Hope you won't notice the bullshit because you're focused on the question. So how would I defend the border in the real world, instead of Yann LeCun's bullshit disingenuous communist fantasy? Simple. People, in organizations, in this country, are importing illegals. Those are organizations organized for the purpose of conspiring to commit criminal acts. In other words, organized crime organizations. Which means that every member can be prosecuted under RICO, because one of the predicate offenses which triggers RICO is: Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain); If those organizations received money from someone, anyone, else to do this, that's financial gain. If any of the employees of these organizations drew a salary, that's financial gain. Ergo, they are mobsters, and they can be prosecuted like mobsters. Throw some in prison for fifteen or twenty years, confiscate their assets, and the others will flee the country. Then arrest and prosecute anyone employing illegals, the way we used to. Then arrest and prosecute any government official providing them with taxpayer funded services. Then start rounding the illegals themselves up, precisely the way we used to. It's not difficult. It's not expensive. These are third world barbarians with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They are uneducated, poor, unorganized, and stupid. The only reason they are any threat at all is that they have powerful people in this nation who want them here, and paying to make that happen, and using the power of the government to prevent the people who belong here from resisting. This is not a humanitarian crisis. It is the deliberate use of third world populations as a bioweapon. The weapons are easy to deal with once the wielders have been taken out.

@ylecun @rettwallace @elonmusk Complex problem? LOL. Just copy Singapore or Dubai.

@rettwallace @elonmusk Yann pointing out that complex problems don't have simple solutions.

Okay, @elonmusk, let's say you run the government. Upheavals in various countries are causing lots of migrants to leave their home and attempt to enter the US. You have nothing to do with this surge. It's just happening because of events abroad. You are in charge and must deal with it, What would you do with these people? 1. Half of them of them don't just cross the border. They come in *legally* on a tourist visa or temporary worker visa and overstay their visa. That represents almost half of illegal immigration in the US. You were one of those once, and so were many of our friends in tech. 2. A number of them seek asylum. The US is bound by international treaties as to how to handle asylum seekers. You have to examine their case one by one and grant asylum to many of them. You don't have much choice in the matter. In the meantime, you have to find housing and work for these folks. You can't just let them live on the streets with their kids and starve. 3. Many of them will just attempt to cross the long southern border without going through a border checkpoint. They might have applied for a visa or refugee status but didn't get it. Their choice is to stay in their home country and risk starvation or death, or take a smaller risk crossing the border. You could try to simply "close the border." But it's a very long border, and unless you have enough troops and holding facilities, you can't just catch everyone and keep them in concentration camps. It would cost a veritable fortune to do so, way more than letting these folks live and work as undocumented immigrants. It would also be a humanitarian nightmare. You would be running modern-day concentration camps. What would *you* do with all these people then? Before deporting them abroad, you would need to get agreements from the destination countries. Will those countries agree to hold lots of folks in refugee camps? Are you going to help them cover the expense? The public opinion and the courts will limit how inhumane you can be. What's would be your solution? I'm really curious.

@ylecun @jmeierX You clearly dont understand dynamics, referring to a 10 year old studies.

1. I also know Right-leaning scientists. But the data is clear: people with a postgraduate education (not just scientists) generally lean Left (see chart below). 2. Scientists are accustomed to ignoring their biases and prejudices when collecting evidence and testing a hypothesis. They are immune to misinformation, but they are trained to minimize the influence of their biases, and rely on evidence, to arrive at a good model of the world.

People studying misinformation lean left for two reasons: 1. scientists lean left, regardless of specialty, because they care about facts. 2. misinformation today primarily comes from the Right ("they're eating the dawwwgs!") which makes it worth studying and fighting against for people leaning left.
