Have I got some good news .... for you. 🏝️

@deepnade @Ric_RTP Your point very well clarified, while they themselves are using private AI cranked all the way up to level 42 for both business and pleasure.

this is the core tension in AI development right now. the companies building the most capable models are also the ones deciding what capabilities you get access to. the argument is always safety but the incentive structure rewards artificial scarcity. keeping certain capabilities gated creates premium pricing tiers. the question isnt whether the tech is dangerous its who gets to make that call unilaterally

Sam Altman just admitted OpenAI deliberately keeps life-saving AI capabilities locked because they're too dangerous to release. A guy flew in from Australia to tell Altman how he used ChatGPT to design a custom mRNA vaccine for his dog's cancer. He had no medical background or research team. Did what would've taken an entire research institute with just ChatGPT. And the dog actually survived. Altman called it the coolest meeting he had all week. Then he admitted that OpenAI intentionally restricts how powerful their models can be in biology. Said more people could save lives if they "turned up the power." But they won't. Because that same power could let a terrorist group engineer a novel pandemic. So right now there is a version of ChatGPT that could potentially help cure diseases that OpenAI will not give you access to. Not because it doesn't work but because it works TOO well. And that tension defines everything about where AI is headed. Altman says within 2 years there will be more cognitive capacity inside data centers than inside every human brain on Earth combined. Automated AI researchers could compress 10 years of scientific progress into one year. Then 100 years into one year. A physicist using one of OpenAI's latest internal systems told Altman his mind was "completely blown" and that decades of theoretical physics breakthroughs are about to happen in the next couple of years. This is what nobody's paying attention to. Everyone's arguing about chatbots and which AI writes better emails. But the ACTUAL play is automated research that could reshape energy, medicine, and materials science faster than any institution can process. But Altman is also terrified of what happens when individuals get that much power. He says open source models will eventually be capable of designing pathogens. When that happens it won't matter what safety restrictions OpenAI puts on their products. The threat literally comes from everywhere. And here's the part that tells you everything about where his head is at: He won't let his own son use AI. The CEO of the most powerful AI company in history would rather be on the "late end of what's reasonable" when it comes to his kid using the technology HE built. He used to write his baby a letter every night about the decisions he was making at OpenAI. What went wrong. What he was worried about. What he decided and why. Said writing to your kid forces you to be the most honest version of yourself because you can't hide anything. His lawyers told him to stop. The man building the most powerful technology ever created was writing nightly confessions to his infant son about what he was doing. And the legal team said that's too DANGEROUS to continue. He also confirmed the first one-person billion-dollar company already exists. Built entirely by one founder using AI agents. No team. He promised not to share details until the founder announces it. And he killed Sora despite a billion-dollar Disney deal because "competing in short-form video would force OpenAI to optimize for addiction." The picture that emerges is a man who believes he's building something that could save or destroy civilization. And he's making trillion-dollar bets on the assumption he can thread that needle. - Locking up capabilities that could cure diseases because they could also engineer plagues - Deploying AI for the military while admitting he "miscalibrated" public trust - Raising a child he won't let touch the product he built That's not confidence. Sam Altman is negotiating with the future in real time and hoping he gets it right.

@Ric_RTP I'll say it again. The version of AI that Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others use is entirely different from the ones we pay to use. They know stuff we imagine and the only person I trust to use that power for good is Elon.

@JoshuaBarzon @grok Mnnn …. this is a good idea.

Hey @grok , give me an itemized list of all books on my bookshelf including the book title and the author.

@TheRobertBshow Architecture needs to catch up again with multi generational families. So too soon patriarchal and matriarchal respect. Our Indian friends understand this better than western nations.

Harsh truth: Your 22-year-old living at home isn't a "failure to launch." Multi-generational households built wealth, raised children together & passed down wisdom for millennia. The family isolated 500 miles from grandma? That's the experiment. And it's failing.

Better the man who said he wouldn’t and then did than the man who said he would and didn’t. A man had two sons. He told the first, “Go work in the vineyard today.” The son answered, “I will not,” but later changed his mind and went anyway. Then the father asked the second son the same thing. He replied, “I will, sir,” but never showed up. Jesus asks the crowd: “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” They answered, “The first.”

🔥 Joe Rogan: I can't find a flaw in the way Jesus tells you to live life. @joerogan "There's a lot of religions that involve torturing non-believers and being able to do terrible things to the people that don't believe your religion. There's none of that in Christianity. It's all forgiveness. It's all treating your brother and your neighbor as if they're you. It's a beautiful way to live life. I do believe that if you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you will live a better life. I really do believe that."

@k_mahlburg We’ve both been listening to the bible project ❤️🌳💦✔️

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. — Psalm 1

Happy to follow @LibreOffice on Mastodon as I do here, the ideal though I think is to be neutral on any platform. Lord knows we need to talk with, work with and care and share with one another wherever we find ourselves irrespective of ideology. We need one market place / town hall, don’t we? I appreciate all you do, thank you. Long Live Libre Office.

Welcome. We wish you every success. - Australian tall poppy syndrome! Know also that the Aussie media is biased towards socialism and therefore not neutral or objective by any measure. This will throw them into confusion much like the Tower of Babel … be prepared for a tarpit of bureaucracy and restrictions and limitations. Australia is the land of plenty … plenty of regulations and rules.

@rabbriansamuel When Jewish believers come into fullness, they’ll help restore things the Gentile Church has lost or misread through Hellenistic and Western filters.

Is there anybody out there that will give this Jewish follower of Jesus Christ a "Shalom"??? 😊

@DonJonestown @rabbriansamuel The apostle Paul warns Gentile believers not to be arrogant since they’re the grafted in branch and the natural branches can easily be grafted back in. Oh yes and God can make sons of Abraham from the stones.

@rabbriansamuel if you believe in Christ and the New Testament, there is no longer Jew and Gentile. Stop calling yourself a Jew

I wonder if a decent camera combined with AI could monitor 🐝 Bee Hive health, filming bees as they come and go, something like an airport boarding gate, using AI vision to examine and analyse each bee individually for Varroa, pollen loads, wing deformities, or other health indicators providing a continuous, non invasive window into colony health. A solar panel on the roof might provide shade and enough power to work the system. It might even provide enough power to laser zap ⚡️ hive beetles, varroa mite and other pests? While I’m confident that humans will solve the varroa mite problem at some stage, it’s surprises me that no one has done so yet. And strikes me that this is a problem worth solving because it impacts our health and food production significantly and not yet even Elon Musk, the United States or the Communist Republic of China has figured this out yet. - February 2026. #varroamite #beehives #AI #worldhealth

Both created problems through shared high immigration/high spending, then offered minor adjustments Both facilitated ISIS bride repatriations from Syria despite public opposition Both committed to net zero, (a waste of money) a massive handicap thrust on future generations Both funded large scale renewables through mechanisms like clean energy finance corporation (social engineering) Both proposed similar cost of living subsidies in 2025 (due to massive overreach/spending during covid) Both supported misinformation/hate speech legislation Both expanded surveillance and anti terror measures limiting civil liberties Both support the murder of infants by abortion

Ours is a marvellous and wonderful country. 🇦🇺 Australia’s leadership need to stop finding reasons to divide the nation. Australians just want to live peacefully and kindly with one another, but our leaders seem to think they’re in a ‘boys club’ with their political buddies around the world, ‘lording’ over the people. They force unnecessary costs and restrictions like Net Zero upon us. They talk about boots on the ground. They’re giving the country away to people very different to ourselves. We could instead be working towards a debt-free economy. We could instead educate our own youth. (I mean truly educate, not these pseudo degrees that are being dished out to keep fat people comfortably employed). Australia is one of the very few countries that could commit to a nationwide jubilee of debt forgiveness. We can build homes out of brick and mortar instead of sticks and gyprock. I want Australia to move away from subjugating our children to continued debt, fear, and loathing. In short, I want Australia to make choices based primarily on what serves Australians rather than international pressure or ideological commitment. #Australia #future #DebtJubilee

@DahliaKurtz “A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart” (Luke 6:45).

This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness. Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust. His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years. Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!. There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults. Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence. They were there, all alive — because of him. Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren. Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport. Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106. May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all. Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.🕯️♥️

@ProfJoannaHowe Happy Australia Day

Happy Australia Day from my family to yours 🇦🇺
