@pmarca this has to be one of the all-time Ls

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, X.16: “To stop talking about what the good man is like, and just be one.”

@floboflo Iran are saying they will open only for ships trading in Yuan which would be a catastrophe for the dollar

If having your own oil makes you immune from oil prices why are the USA shitting themselves about the Straits of Hormuz being closed?

@davidsenra @pmarca this is a personality disorder

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@BLiwacz27265 @BrandonStraka or more accurately, fake

@BrandonStraka I hope all of us, regardless of political party can come together and say this is wrong

“Make American planes crash again.” A Muslim journalist living in the U.S. posted this online, then deleted it and called it “poorly worded” after backlash. Americans aren’t buying the excuse.

@ryanburge it's linked to wealth accumulation which has tailed off with more recent generations

Do people become more conservative as they age? If they were born between 1940 and 1954, the answer is clearly "yes." Among people born from 1955 to 1979, there's really been no change. For those born in 1980 or later, it looks they are becoming more liberal as they age.

@sama does this one spy on you for the government?

Forgot to mention /fast! I think people will like this.

@Microinteracti1 there's not a counry on earth that wants those people visiting

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: MAGA Tourists Boycott Spain And UK This Summer, Furious Those Countries Refuse To Support Trump DES MOINES, IA — In a bold act of international retaliation, several MAGA supporters confirmed this week that they will not be traveling to Spain or the United Kingdom this summer, citing deep frustration that these countries “won’t get on board” with what President Trump is doing. “We’re tired of countries that refuse to support Trump,” said one attendee, adjusting his red cap with the solemnity of a statesman. “So we’re staying home. No Spain. No UK. Let them enjoy their little castles and beaches without us.” Analysts say the boycott is expected to be highly sustainable, as it requires no planning, no passport, and no exposure to unfamiliar food that is not deep fried. The decision is also being praised for its practical realism. Multiple supporters confirmed that even if the urge to visit Europe struck unexpectedly, the lack of available funds would immediately restore ideological clarity. “It’s not just the principle,” said another participant, wearing a shirt that loudly declared he would rather be Russian than a Democrat. “It’s also that there’s no room in the budget. And if I take more than two days off, I’m pretty sure my boss replaces me with some other guy from the neighborhood who already owns steel toe boots and has never ‘needed a mental health day’ in his life.” European tourism officials responded with measured calm, noting that the boycott may lead to slightly shorter lines at museums, and a marginally quieter summer in coastal towns that were not previously overwhelmed by visitors from places without paid leave. At press time, the boycott was reportedly expanding to include France, Italy, and any country where the average worker can take a vacation without having to negotiate it like a hostage release.

@GoodwinMJ dude this is so pathetic. Just take the L like an adult

This is not democracy. This is coercive, sectarian politics dressed up as democracy We are in deep, deep trouble

@mralistairgreen no go area often just means they personally haven't been there

And when someone on gb news says tower hamlets is a no go area where exactly- Shadwell? St Katherine’s dock? Canary Wharf? Be specific

When they say this where in London do they mean- East Ham? Chelsea? New Cross? Belsize Park? Where specifically.

@paulg Sam knows he's the king of bullshitters though. He might be good at lying but it doesn't make this right

Incidentally, how many CEOs would have the confidence to do an AMA about this topic at this moment?

@sama Altman is the worst person. An utter snake who'd do absolutely anything for money. everyone should ditch ChatGTP and use Anthropic

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@Rainmaker1973 "it looks absurd at first" and then afterwards, still absurd

Did you know? Hobby dogging is a thing. A viral trend where participants simulate owning and training imaginary pets.

@Rainmaker1973 this snake is a dumbass

@r0ck3t23 why would you want Optimus to do this when there are already specialist non-humanoid robots cabable of surgery?

Elon Musk just put an expiration date on the medical profession. And he gave it three years. The interviewer asked when Optimus would be a better surgeon than the best surgeons on Earth. Musk didn’t hesitate. Musk: “Three years. I’d say three years at scale.” Not a prototype. Not a lab experiment. At scale. To understand why that timeline is plausible, you have to understand the fundamental problem with human medicine. Musk: “Takes a super long time to learn to be a good doctor. And even then, the knowledge is constantly evolving. It’s hard to keep up with everything.” Musk: “Doctors have limited time. They make mistakes. How many great surgeons are there? Not that many.” That is the brutal reality of the greatest healthcare system humanity has ever built. It runs on exhausted humans with biological limits, trained over decades, who can only operate on one patient at a time. Optimus has none of those constraints. It doesn’t get tired. It doesn’t forget a study published last week. It doesn’t have an off day. It doesn’t have a caseload limit. And once you train one, you can manufacture ten thousand more with identical precision. Musk: “At that point, there will probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are on Earth.” Think about what that actually means. The scarcity of elite surgical skill has been one of the defining limits of human healthcare since the beginning of medicine. Geography determined your odds of survival. Zip code determined your access to expertise. That bottleneck disappears overnight. Because you can’t train human surgeons fast enough to meet global demand. But you can manufacture infinite robots running identical perfect code. The most valuable skill in the world is about to become software. Infinitely replicable. Infinitely scalable. Available to every human being on Earth regardless of where they were born. Medical scarcity doesn’t fade gradually under that reality. It ends. And whoever controls that code controls healthcare access for billions. For all of human history, the leading cause of preventable death wasn’t disease. It was the shortage of great people to fight it. That problem has a solution now. And it ships in three years.

@AnthropicAI I don't understand how you can have any moral objection to this given how you create these models

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

@UKLabour this is some proper tory business lads, well done

Zack Polanski doesn't want you to watch this...

@Daractenus imagine how much poop in the nappy if he actually tried to do this

This man is irredeemably and unquestionably insane.

@Acyn are there really americans that believe Trump is popular internationally?

Question: As Trump’s popularity rises around the word, do you think we might be watching the emergence of a global Maga movement?  Leavitt: I don't know but I sure hope so.

@hertlife it already crashed

Am I stupid or why wouldn’t they park the car in that car sized space front and center?
