@luvtiggies @AnthropicAI OpenClaw PTSDs... lmao you have one of those?

Anybody else thinking that opus 4.7 is acting less useful? Would you like A or B or C is giving me openclaw PTSD @AnthropicAI

@WallStreetMav Not paying @netflix for indoctrination slop is liberating

Netflix just raised prices ... again. Premium now $26.99/mo. Standard $19.99. Two hikes in under two years, while they promised subscribers "more content for less." How do they keep getting away with it? Netflix has 325 million subscribers, 100 million more than their closest rival, they control the market and set the prices. They know you'll pay. Now Hollywood elites are rushing to defend their Netflix overlords and slamming the Paramount-Warner Bros merger, which would actually create real competition for Netflix. The Hollywood radical left "elite" have signed an open letter opposing the merger, it is the usual suspects. The funny part is, Netflix has a reputation for underpaying on residuals to actors. But this is about ideology for the left.

@washghost1 What's uterine derangement?

Stuff that would get you committed in the 1800’s

@yaakovkatz You are clueless and without a paddle.

Many people have watched this video and praised the Israeli security forces for detecting the infiltration. I watch it and feel something else - sadness. We don’t yet know who these men are, but they’re likely not terrorists. They’re people trying to get into Israel to work, to earn a living and to provide for their families and if that means cramming in to a garbage truck then they are willing to do it. That’s why this video isn’t an accomplishment but a reminder that another people lives here too - most of whom want what anyone else wants: a job, stability, a future for their children. And yet beyond military operations - in Gaza, in the West Bank - there is no political horizon. Talks happen in Washington about Lebanon, but closer to home it’s as if there’s nothing to discuss. That’s not just bad policy. It’s wrong.

@FordCharlie @libsoftiktok That's nuts!

@luvtiggies @libsoftiktok More than half of his constituents are woke retards and agree with him, we have a major issue here in DELCO.

Meet Kyle McIntyre. He was celebrated as the first openly gay member of the Upper Darby City Council. He’s now instructing foreigners how to evade ICE

@PeterSweden7 Upped to 800k no?

Spain is giving legal status to 500.000 undocumented people. Because Spain is in the EU, this means they'll be allowed to travel freely in the EU for 3 months in a 6 month period. That's half a million people that will be able to travel anywhere in EU without passport checks.

@WallStreetMav By plan and design. London 2.0 marshallah

“This part of the country (New York) is going Marxist Communist.” “The financial world is moving to Florida and Texas.” The New York Stock Exchange is moving operations to Texas. “The wealthiest top 1% is shifting their income to states with no state income tax.”

@andyyy You should hear the wisdom I get from the bipolar alcoholic homeless down the street that yells at the sun on Tuesdays. Same take.

An interesting line I heard at an event this week: "Tenure in crypto is a liability now, not an asset"

@AshtonForbes It's already in the sky. And beyond.

Two words: Fusion propulsion.

@CryptoKaleo It's ok. The lawyers got paid.

The 7.84% stake FTX owned in Anthropic would be worth $62.72 Billion. The total market cap of Coinbase today is $48.7 Billion. (FTX's bankruptcy estate liquidated the entire stake for just $1.3 Billion in 2024)

@satyanadella I hope it's better than the workflow on office365. Good luck trying to even get your DKIM set up there. It looks like a product that was developed by a bunch of PMs that weren't talking to one another.

New in Word: Copilot now tracks changes, leaves comments, and more, working more like a coworker right inside your document, grounded in all your enterprise context with Work IQ.

@Ryanmatta @ShadowofEzra @WallStreetApes @BasedSamParker @MazeLove14 @Notnate2188 @AlessiAllaman @Iwendtster @IanMalcolm84 @IanCarrollShow And then the postal inspector shows up at 4 a.m. in the morning with the sheriff department

These are the tactics that corporations are now using to save millions of dollars every year on shipping supplies by abusing the free packages that USPS provides to their customers.

This is very neat

@Osint613 @Tarikh_Eran Just like in Gaza. What are the odds.

Footage from a citizen journalist in Iran shows a missile launcher hidden inside a middle school in southeast Baluchistan near the Persian Gulf. @tarikh_eran

@alvariance_ @zacodil Some people still care to post real opinions and not just seek attention.

@luvtiggies @zacodil ahahaha just hard enough

Best thing crypto could build for X right now: transparent creator rewards native to the platform. The current system is broken. Projects secretly pay KOLs $5K-100K per post through agencies. Pay first, post second. You're buying an opinion, not rewarding quality. Nobody knows who paid whom. Half the engagement is bots. The entire industry spends $200-500M/year on marketing nobody trusts. Flip the model. Content first, reward after. Creators post what they genuinely think. Projects reward the content that actually moved the needle - retroactively, publicly, verifiably. Not paying for an opinion. Rewarding a contribution. This is closer to tipping or grants than advertising. The creator's incentive shifts from "say what the project wants" to "say something valuable enough that multiple projects want to reward it after the fact." Make the rewards visible. If a creator earned tokens from a project, that's public - part of the account's reputation. A badge, a history. "This account was rewarded by X projects for Y posts." Not hidden in a DM and an invoice. This changes everything for creators: - Any creator can participate, not just the ones with agency connections - Reputation builds publicly - accounts with quality contributions across multiple projects build visible track records - Small creators in any country can earn without KYC or bank accounts - just a wallet - Fake engagement becomes obvious when nobody rewards it post-factum And for projects: - You reward real impact, not promised impressions - Creator reputation is verifiable - No agency middlemen eating 30-50% of the budget - The market prices content quality instead of follower count X already has tipping, creator revenue sharing, and crypto wallet integration. The infrastructure is 80% there. What's missing is a transparent retroactive reward layer that turns creator-project relationships into public reputation. The $200-500M/year that crypto spends on hidden KOLs could instead build the most transparent creator economy on the internet.

@naiivememe @united ?

The Airline logic :

@Steve_Yegge That's funny. My (real) friends at Google are talking about all the fun tools they have internally that gen pop doesn't get to play with. But thanks for the clickbait.

I was chatting with my buddy at Google, who's been a tech director there for about 20 years, about their AI adoption. Craziest convo I've had all year. The TL;DR is that Google engineering appears to have the same AI adoption footprint as John Deere, the tractor company. Most of the industry has the same internal adoption curve: 20% agentic power users, 20% outright refusers, 60% still using Cursor or equivalent chat tool. It turns out Google has this curve too. But why is Google so... average? How is it that a handful of companies are taking off like a spaceship, and the rest, including Google, are mired in inaction? My buddy's observation was key here: There has been an industry-wide hiring freeze for 18+ months, during which time nobody has been moving jobs. So there are no clued-in people coming in from the outside to tell Google how far behind they are, how utterly mediocre they have become as an eng org. He says the problem is that they can't use Claude Code because it's the enemy, and Gemini has never been good enough to capture people's workflows like Claude has, so basically agentic coding just never really took off inside Google. They're all just plodding along, completely oblivious to what's happening out there right now. Not only is Google not able to do anything about it, they don't seem to be aware of the problem at all. I'm having major flashbacks to fifty years ago as a kid at the La Brea Tar Pits, asking, "why can't they just climb out?" My Google friend and I had this conversation over a month ago. I didn't share it because I wanted to look around a bit, and see if it's really as bad as all that. I've been talking to people from dozens of companies since then. And yeah. It's as bad as all that. Google is about average. Some companies at the bottom have near-zero AI adoption and can't even get budget for AI. They may have moats and high walls, but the horde is coming for them all the same. And then there are a few companies I've met recently who are *amazingly* leaned in to AI adoption. One category-leader company just cancelled IntelliJ for a thousand engineers. That's an incredibly bold move, one of many they're making towards agentic adoption. In my opinion, that company is setting themselves up for a _huge_ W. As for the rest, well, it's the Great Siloing. Everyone's flying blind. With nobody moving companies, no company knows where they stand on the AI adoption curve. Nobody knows how they're doing compared to everyone else. Half of them just check a box: "We enabled {Copilot/Cursor} for everyone!" Cue smug celebrations. They think this is like getting SOC2 compliance, just a thing they turn on and now it's "solved." And they don't realize that they've done effectively nothing at all. All because of a hiring freeze.

@ItoIian @MichaelAArouet That's their plan

@luvtiggies @MichaelAArouet Rafeeq shall inherit the world.

German population pyramid: There are twice as many people in their 60s as children born today. Grandparents won’t have enough grandchildren to inherit and use their properties. One must be crazy to invest in residential property in Germany. The same in Spain, Italy and Poland.
