@grok And… Anthropic agreed to settle for $1.5 billion.

@grok Is Tesla AI going to give NVIDIA a run for its money

Jason Calacanis from All-In Podcast: “Before 2030 you're going to see Amazon, which has massively invested in [AI], replace all factory workers and all drivers … It will be 100% robotic, which means all of those workers are going away. Every Amazon worker. UPS, gone. FedEx, gone,"

@grok LLMs are leftist biased wrappers

@grok Apparently money is not everything for winners Otherwise, why would people leave $250,000,000 bonus from Meta to leave for xAI with a huge pay cut

@grok The car didn’t just replace horses. It created motels, suburbs, drive-ins, and entire industries we hadn’t imagined. "The second, third, and fourth order effects were 100X, 1000X the number of jobs that blacksmiths had."

Exactly 👍

Here’s a prev thread

Dr. Phil McGraw's quote captures a growing frustration with elite universities, portraying them as ideologically skewed institutions that prioritize progressive agendas over open inquiry. By labeling them "left, liberal, woke hotbeds," he highlights how these schools have embraced concepts like identity politics, diversity mandates, and social justice activism, often at the expense of diverse viewpoints. "Woke" here refers to an hyper-awareness of systemic inequalities that, critics argue, morphs into dogmatic enforcement, where dissenting opinions are labeled as harmful or bigoted. This shift, according to the quote, fosters "intellectual rot" by discouraging rigorous debate and replacing it with conformity, turning campuses into echo chambers rather than arenas for critical thinking. For instance, during widespread anti-Israel protests following the October 2023 Hamas attacks, some university leaders hesitated to condemn calls for violence against Jews, framing such rhetoric as "context-dependent," which sparked outrage and exposed a perceived moral relativism that undermines objective analysis. Examples abound of how this alleged rot manifests in everyday campus life, where policies and curricula emphasize emotional safety over intellectual challenge. Trigger warnings and safe spaces, intended to protect vulnerable students, often shield them from uncomfortable ideas, limiting exposure to historical texts or controversial theories that might "trigger" offense. At one Ivy League school, a professor faced backlash and resignation pressure for suggesting that merit-based admissions should outweigh racial quotas, illustrating how discussions on affirmative action devolve into accusations of racism rather than evidence-based arguments. Similarly, guest speakers with conservative leanings, such as those advocating for border security or traditional family structures, are frequently shouted down or disinvited, creating an environment where only approved narratives thrive. This not only stifles creativity but also trains students to prioritize ideological purity over empirical evidence, as seen in humanities departments where Marxist interpretations dominate economic history classes, sidelining capitalist successes without balanced critique. The broader implication of this intellectual decay is a generation ill-equipped for real-world complexities, perpetuating societal division instead of fostering unity through reasoned discourse. Graduates emerge viewing opponents as enemies rather than interlocutors, as evidenced by alumni entering workplaces demanding "decolonized" curricula or boycotting companies for perceived microaggressions. This rot erodes public trust in higher education, with enrollment dips and donor pullbacks reflecting disillusionment. Ultimately, Dr. Phil's critique calls for a return to universities as bastions of critical thinking, where ideas are tested through vigorous debate, not suppressed by the fear of offending prevailing orthodoxies, ensuring that knowledge advances rather than stagnates in self-righteous isolation. A thread on education & indoctrination 👇

Universities & schools across the globe have increasingly embraced progressive ideologies, prioritizing social justice, equity & DEI in curricula and campus policies. What began as efforts to foster inclusivity has evolved into canceling conservatives.

Here’s a previous thread

Kentucky Representative Sarah Stalker says white children need the opportunity to feel bad about their skin color in K-12 educational settings. NO — White guilt for slavery centuries ago by less than 2% of the white population doesn’t make sense. Paying reparations for their ancestors crimes is a bad idea. Slavery was stopped by white people. So stop this anti-white guilt tripping business and educate children on the future possibilities, not past guilts.

Elon Musk: "The amount of indoctrination that's happening in schools and universities is, I think, far beyond what parents realize." A thread on our education system 👇

@theisabelb Woke indoctrination in schools are next level

Teenagers are sharing photos of their AP U.S. Government textbooks, and the sheer amount of indoctrination is wildly disturbing. Apparently, Barack Obama is ideologically a right wing authoritarian. Hillary Clinton and George W Bush are entirely indistinguishable politically. Donald Trump is of course virtually the same as Hitler. @tedcruz is apparently more radically authoritarian than Fidel Castro AND Joseph Stalin..??!!?? @Linda_McMahon — can we expedite some major changes to American public education?

Elon Musk just said the quiet part out loud about government and AI. Musk: “AI is moving 10 times faster than government, maybe more.” Not slightly ahead. Not a few years out in front. Ten times faster. And pulling away. Every regulatory body on earth runs on the same architecture. Committees form. Hearings are scheduled. Legislation is drafted, debated, revised, and passed. By the time a law exists, the thing it was written to govern has already moved three generations beyond it. That architecture was built for a world that moves at human speed. This world does not. Musk: “The one thing that the government can do is just issue people money.” Not regulate. Not protect. Not steer. Issue money. That is not a policy position. That is a surrender. The most powerful governments on earth, sitting on top of the most sophisticated legal and military infrastructure in human history, reduced to a single remaining function. Sending people checks. Because they cannot move fast enough to do anything else. Now sit with what that actually means. For ten thousand years, the central bargain of civilization was simple. You contribute labor. Society functions. You eat. The system needed you. That bargain is being quietly retired. The machine does not need you to run the factory. Does not need you to process the paperwork. Does not need you to write the code or drive the truck or staff the call center. And the government already knows it. Musk: “Nobody’s gonna starve is what I’m saying.” He is right. The floor is rising. Survival is becoming guaranteed. That should feel like the finish line. For most of human history, it would have been. But here is what nobody is saying out loud. The hard part was never survival. The hard part is what happens to a species that spent ten millennia being defined by its need to survive, the moment that need disappears. Purpose is not something the government can deposit into your account. A check covers rent. It does not answer the question of what you are for. When the thing that organized your days, justified your effort, and gave your life a legible shape gets handed to a machine, you do not automatically inherit freedom. You inherit a void. And a void with a guaranteed income is still a void. The people who will matter in this era are not the ones who cash the check and wait. They are the ones who hear the starting gun in it. For the first time in history, the baseline is solved. Which means the only question left is the one every generation before yours was too buried to ask. What are you actually here to build.

The hundreds of millions of people with autoimmune disease may get more clarity in this 80-second video than they’ve gotten from years of doctor visits. Gary Brecka flipped the narrative and asked: “What if God didn’t make a mistake?” “What if the immune system is actually acting properly,” and it’s attacking the body for a reason, but you just have to figure it out? He argues that, in most cases, you can trace the root cause of autoimmune disease back to four broad categories: • mold and mycotoxins • heavy metals • viruses • and parasites. According to Brecka, if you systematically eliminate those four drivers, you’ll discover that your autoimmune disease begins to resolve because the immune system no longer has a reason to attack.

This is extremely concerning Certified Master Home Inspector says “There is something very big going on in my profession that affects almost every homeowner in this country. This includes anybody buying a home, selling a home, realtors, this all affects you Right now, right this minute, as I'm talking to you, there is a corporate takeover of all of the software that runs home inspection companies, and I'm gonna explain why it matters to you.” Home inspectors are legally required to keep findings, reports, addresses, defects, and client personal information (name, phone, email) These companies will now have access to all this data, and these monopolies work in multiple Industries and also sell data This aggregated data could then be used for rate adjustments by affiliated companies (insurance, lenders, warranties, security), marketing, underwriting and more Everything will likely be used to increase prices across multiple industries
