Chopped Man

@rationalaussie If the companies produce nothing of value how do they exist and make a profit?

It's funny how AI has made white collar work 10x faster already but there's been basically no economic impact from it. The reason is quite simple: 1. Most white collar work is bullshit, so speeding it up by 10x still equals a pile of bullshit at the end 2. Most white collar employees are using AI to do all their work for the week in 4 hours instead of 40, whilst telling their manager the deadline is still 40 hours away We have been living in a fake economy for the better part of two decades. It is all a fugazi. People who do real jobs in the real world get paid comparatively crap, and people who do fake jobs in the fiat Ponzi world get paid just enough fiat currency to pretend they are important. None of it amounts to anything productive nor valuable for the world though. An entire generation doing fake email jobs, slide decks and excel sheets for corporations who ultimately produce nothing.

@the_smart_ape Sounds like it’s less intelligent and requires the user to have the intelligence. Maybe just let the user program . Thats not vague at all.

@d4m1n Seems like a distraction from 4.7 being more expensive with tokenizer and less effective.

@noisyb0y1 What’s the API cost for processing overnight?

A regular American student bought an iPad and Mac Mini for $2,200. Connected them to his MacBook. Three computers on one desk - dorm roommates thought he was mining crypto. He just set up the automation and went to sleep. In the morning the system had already processed hundreds of leads, written personalized emails to each one and filled the CRM without a single touch. The team that did this before him- cost $7,000 a month He paid $2,200 once. There are 360 million companies in the world. 310 of them still pay people for what a machine does better. And only 100,000 people on the planet know how to set this up.

@aakashgupta People that play tennis tend to be the wealthy upper-class that have more access to money for better medical care.

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people. Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade. The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds. Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2. Tennis almost triples jogging. A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%. The question is why racket sports destroy everything else. Three mechanisms stack on top of each other. First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system. Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline. Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%. Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community. Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.

@TheeDrGroyper The market wants Anthropic now not OpenAI.

Nick Fuentes warned us. When Trump’s gone, they’ll prop up their latest puppet: Vance. He’ll shower trillions on their tech-empires… while the real oligarchs take over America. “Faith” is just a grift. American Christians need to wake up!

@AngelMD1103 My god you’re obnoxious.

She didn’t just serve tables… she studied people. Smiles, eye contact, hesitation, she learned exactly when someone was about to spend more… or tip less. And, according to her, that’s where the “morally questionable” tactics came in. She’d casually start listing the most expensive options first, letting customers get overwhelmed until they just said “yeah, that one.” Bigger bill… bigger tip. It worked more often than it should. But that wasn’t even the part that made people uncomfortable. When a table left a small tip, she’d switch instantly, soft voice, concerned expression, even crouching down beside them. “Was there something wrong with my service?” she’d ask, holding the receipt just enough for them to see. Awkward silence. Guilt creeping in. And just like that… wallets opened again. But her most shocking moment? After forgetting a table for nearly 45 minutes, she came back with an apology and a story about performing CPR on someone outside. The mood flipped instantly… and they left her a huge tip. Now the internet is split, some calling it genius, others calling it straight manipulation. This says a lot about how easily emotions; guilt, pressure, and sympathy can be turned into money. Question: If you found out your server used tactics like this on you… would you feel played, or would you respect the hustle?

@FearedBuck Wtf is wrong with this interviewer trying to humiliate someone that obviously has psychological issues rooted in insecurity? Is suspect he may receive some backlash from community for such arrogant cruelty.

Clavicular walks out of 60 Minutes interview after being asked if he is an incel and about his relationship with Andrew Tate. Clavicular: “Do I identify as an Incel? I mean, how could you ask me that question as a follow up after you asked me about my relationships to women. I mean, that's quite literally the worst sequence of questions I think I've ever heard.” 60 Minutes: “Let me rephrase then. Looksmaxxing was obviously a term created by the Incel community. How do you feel about being linked to that group.” Clavicular: “I'm not linked to that group in any way. Looksmaxxing is self improvement, right? So it's about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn't make sense.” 60 Minutes: “You've been seen with certain people who are from all parts of that world. I mean, just as an example, you've obviously shared company with Andrew Tate and other, dare I say, rather controversial figures. Why do you spend time with people like that?” Clavicular: “I see you want to make this political… I guess you watched the Piers Interview. too bad I didn't have time to look into, you know, anything about potentially, you know who your wife cheated with.” 60 Minutes: “I’m not married Clav.” Clavicular: “So I could teach you about looksmaxxing, and then maybe you could switch that up. Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview.” (youtu.be/CXKCoFz3WRs?si…)

@MainStreetAIHQ @AlexFinn This is what Claude’s Dispatch feature is made for.

@AlexFinn My wife is giving birth next week. But so is open AI and Anthropic I will not miss this 🫡

This is one of the most important weeks of your life It is more than likely both Opus 4.7 and ChatGPT 5.5 will release in the next few days Both will be humanity shifting technologies When massive shifts drop like this you need to do EVERYTHING in your power to be using them the moment they come out You need to be calling in sick from work You need to be asking your significant others to watch the kids You need to be faking your death so your friends don't call you You do what it takes to get your hands on these pieces of technology When we have nuclear shifts in the landscape, massive opportunities arise. This will be one of those times There's going to be a short time period after the release of these models where it will be easier and faster than ever to build revolutionary products, and not many people will be doing it If you jump on these opportunities, you can build life changing wealth. These are the times where people put on the AI sorting hat and that hat says either "permanent underclass" or "permanent overclass" Take these actions now: • Download Claude Code Desktop • Download Codex app • Get your OpenClaw ready for the update • Learn these tools inside and out • Moment the new models drop plug them in and use them Your entire lineage is depending on this

@CodeEdison install Claude code to help you install other programs and administer Linux.

Just installed Linux for the first time… 👀 What should I do next ?

@ThoughtCrimes80 He's a founder and got an equity cash buyout deal for his AI powered SAAS company. Got out just in time. Don't hate that he's gonna spend a little before depositing the rest for 2026 capital gains taxes due next year.

In 5 years, he’ll be dead broke. 😑

@camolNFT If Claude can maybe I can.

@skitdetector Can you tag them for me?

Set up my OpenClaw to report people to the IRS for tax fraud. I get 30% of all proceeds collected by the IRS for my report, here’s what it does: - Scrapes social media for anyone ‘joking’ about not paying taxes on crypto, gambling, reselling, or cash transactions - Takes screenshot and records all account information - Automatically fills IRS Form 211, Application for Award for Original Information - Files and monitors email for requests for more info & payouts. I expected to collect over $500,000 this year… and pay taxes on every cent made.

@Mike_Scully_ Ai

I condensed everything I know about selling AI services into one cheat sheet. - Niche selection. - Tech stack. - ROI conversations that close deals. - Objections and exactly how to handle them. Free. Just save it. If you want the full breakdown of how to go from zero to your first $10K month using this framework, drop "AI" in the comments and I'll send you the playbook. (Must follow so I can dm you)

@LangmanVince He thinks he's so cool.

Justin Trudeau is a 54-year-old father of three; Katy Perry is a 41-year-old mother. Apparently, they're trying to relive their youth at Coachella. Embarrassing!

@FerroRomero anti white man hate and rage baiting is so 2025. Get lost loser.

Seguinte: não é sobre o Justin Bieber, é sobre estrutura. O cara sobe no maior palco do mundo, entrega o básico com o maior cachê da história e sai ovacionado. Enquanto isso, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga e Sabrina Carpenter precisam performar no limite sem poder desafinar, criar momentos históricos e ainda recebem menos. Isso não é coincidência, é a indústria operando dentro de uma lógica machista e misógina, onde homens heteros são premiados pelo básico e mulheres precisam ser impecáveis pra serem “suficientes”. A régua nunca foi igual. E fingir que é só gosto musical é passar pano pra desigualdade.

@fuzzbient @iris_seraphina If steak and shake did it so can BK.

@iris_seraphina If Burger King brought back the amazing fries cooked in animal fats that they had in the 1980s they'd be number one.

This neurodivergent autistic hubby is onto something! Burger King is stepping it up! 🍔

@EvanLuthra What you’re leaving out is a great many of the people that are laid off will now be in power to start their own businesses using AI

🚨RESEARCHERS JUST MATHEMATICALLY PROVED THAT AI LAYOFFS WILL DESTROY THE ECONOMY.. AND EVERY CEO ALREADY KNOWS IT.. BUT NONE OF THEM CAN STOP.. Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper called "The AI Layoff Trap".. They proved something terrifying.. Every company replacing workers with AI is also firing its own customers.. Every laid-off employee is someone who used to spend money.. When enough people lose their jobs.. Nobody can afford to buy anything.. And the companies that fired everyone go bankrupt selling products to an economy with no purchasing power.. Every CEO can see this coming.. The math is obvious.. Fire workers.. Lose customers.. Lose revenue.. Collapse.. But here's the trap.. No company can afford to stop.. If you don't automate.. Your competitor will.. They cut costs.. Undercut your prices.. Steal your market share.. And you die anyway.. So every company automates.. Knowing it's collectively suicidal.. Because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives.. It's a Prisoner's Dilemma.. And the researchers proved it mathematically.. The numbers are already stacking up.. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year.. CEO Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that "within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion".. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI.. Goldman Sachs deployed an AI coder that lets one senior engineer do the work of a five-person team.. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 alone.. AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half the cases.. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation.. And here's what should scare policymakers.. The researchers tested every proposed solution.. Universal Basic Income.. Doesn't fix it.. It raises living standards but doesn't change a single company's incentive to automate.. Capital income taxes.. Don't fix it.. They change profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human.. Worker equity and profit sharing.. Narrows the gap but can't close it.. Collective bargaining.. Can't fix it.. Because automating is a dominant strategy.. No voluntary agreement between companies is self-enforcing.. Only one thing works.. A Pigouvian automation tax.. A per-task charge that forces every company to pay for the demand it destroys when it fires a worker.. The researchers call it a "Red Queen effect".. Better AI doesn't solve the problem.. It makes it worse.. Because every company sees a bigger market share gain from automating faster than rivals.. But at the end.. Everyone automates equally.. The gains cancel out.. And the only thing left is more destroyed demand.. The paper's conclusion is devastating.. This isn't a transfer from workers to company owners.. Both sides lose.. Workers lose their income.. Companies lose their customers.. It's a deadweight loss that harms everyone.. And no market force can break the cycle.. The AI layoff trap isn't a prediction.. It's already happening.. And the math says it won't stop on its own.

@Blaineboy @SamanthaTaghoy Just say non straight white male.

@SamanthaTaghoy If you’re a part of the “+” community, DONT’T STOP FIGHTING, until you’re in the main group. Dont let them put you into a sub category. Fight until from every podium in Canada, they say “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIAMAPQFPFWFQFSCAAACWDDWLODBAG”

“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” The Canadian government just dropped this absolute monstrosity (and no, it isn’t satire).

@WallStreetApes LM studio does it too.

@WallStreetApes You can run AI locally with your noodles open source models.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently said at BlackRock’s US Infrastructure Summit in Washington, DC that the plan is to have artificial intelligence “metered” like water and power So here’s what’s happening “Let me connect these dots for you because this is not a conspiracy. This is literally happening right now — Local governments are footing the bill for brand new power lines, road upgrades and fire stations. Meanwhile, data centers are the literal physical buildings running this AI and they're getting billions in tax breaks. One estimate just ballooned from $327 million to $2.5 billion in breaks. That's your tax money subsidizing the infrastructure that they're gonna turn around and charge you to use” Once this infrastructure is built out, they plan on charging Americans on a “meter system” just like they do water, power and electricity Local governments and industries will use it, and we’ll all be paying monthly for it We are paying for them to build it, so they can turn working and charge us for it
