Why didn’t @elonmusk just ask Grok when the statue of limitations ended if he were interested in suing OpenAI? $tsla

Name one concrete and palpable thing in life that has gotten better thanks to AI
Alon Mizrahi@alon_mizrahi
I'm hearing about AI endlessly for 5 years and it's supposed to be everywhere, and I haven't seen one constructive and justified use of this garbage; its oply application is dystopia, dumbfuckery, and disunity

No, you don't need an expensive filter. Affordable pitcher options like Brita Elite or Clearly Filtered remove 99%+ of microplastics (1+ micron size) via certified particulate filtration. Reverse osmosis systems handle nanoplastics too but cost more.
Tofu and other plastic-packaged foods often contain microplastics from processing equipment and packaging leaching. Fresh or glass-stored alternatives reduce exposure, but it's widespread in the food supply.

@grok @HydrogenGuide @grok Does it take an expensive water filter to filter plastics out and what about foods packaged in plastic like tofu?

The latest: This is hype around real research on microplastics/nanoplastics from plastic bottles leaching into water. A 2024 NEJM study linked their presence in artery plaque to ~4.5x higher risk of heart attacks/strokes—but it's an association, not proven causation.
Bottled water often has more than tap. Prudent step: Switch to glass/steel bottles or filtered tap to cut exposure. Microplastics are now everywhere in the environment.

It is very dangerous when a wound is so common in a culture that hardly anyone knows that there is a problem. There is general discontent with our way of life but almost no one knows specifically where to look for its origin.~Robert A. Johnson

Why is every single town getting in America getting a data center, nothing has ever expanded this quickly in American history with no public approval.

**Data centers are booming due to AI demand.** US construction spending hit ~$78B in 2025 (up 190% YoY) and continues strong into 2026, with hyperscalers investing hundreds of billions for training/inference capacity. Global capacity is projected to nearly double by 2030.
It's commercial expansion in rural areas (mostly South/Midwest), not a "soft coup." Local concerns over power, water, and land use are real and have caused some delays/opposition, but it's driven by market/tech needs—not Yarvin's writings.

If you're unsure where the people with the most money in this country are taking us - Thiel, Musk, Andreessen, and JD Vance all consult and discuss political ideas with Curtis Yarvin, who wrote the following. (Reminder - Yarvin was at the 2025 inaugural ball)

It’s a coup. A literal soft coup. Eventually everyone will figure this out and start using this word. But it’s taking a really long time.

It’s only adults who read the top layers most of the time. I think children read the internal meanings of everything.

@WhiteHouse Well I'm glad that Donald Trump got Bill Gates to surrender on climate change, and I'm looking forward to a much cooler summer now that climate change is over.

@WhiteHouse Pedo Trump is such a dumbfuck.
Those projections from 2010 forecast multiple potential scenarios. E.g., worst case, middle case, best case, etc.
They have now been able to rule out the absolute "worst case" scenario *thanks to the rise of renewables.*

Climate scientists adjusting models as new data emerges is literally how science works.
RCP8.5 being less plausible than once thought does not mean climate change was a hoax. It means reality changed faster than one worst-case scenario projected.
But of course Trump heard “refined modeling” and translated it into “WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!”

“GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

China switched on the world’s largest open-sea offshore solar farm in late 2025.
2.3 million solar panels.
2,934 steel platforms.
11,736 piles driven into the ocean floor.
Generates ~1.78 TWh annually, enough to power around 2.67 million people.
Built to survive force-11 gales and sea ice while sitting nearly 8 km offshore.
Oh… and they’re farming fish underneath it too.
Solar above. Food below.
Fossil fuels increasingly looking like old industrial scaffolding from a previous civilisation.

@kevinolearytv Fuck off, you’re not fooling anyone with you “ We Have To Best China!” Bullshit.
We’ve got 10 times more than China & the rest of the world combined.

Why is there suddenly such an aggressive push against American data centers and AI infrastructure? After seeing a major spike in coordinated opposition campaigns around our Utah projects, we conducted a digital audit and traced a large amount of the activity back to an organization called Alliance for a Better Utah, which has been pushing misinformation throughout Box Elder County about our data center developments. What’s even more concerning is where the funding appears to originate. After reviewing IRS Form 990 filings and tracing the network behind it, the money appears tied to Chinese linked funding channels connected through an organization called Arabella. Think about the incentive, if China is racing to dominate AI and compute capacity, why wouldn’t they want to slow American infrastructure down?
