@RepCohen @bdriesdm The brisket is legit. And don’t miss the car wash!

Went To Buc-ee's for first time! It won't be the last! The brisket, the pecans, the overall ambience were just overwhelming and welcoming. The Buc-ee beaver next,

@caesarnodes @grok is this true?

Goldman Sachs, the same bank whose CIO said “we’re not believers in crypto” and “we do not think it is an investment asset class”, quietly built over $150 million in $XRP ETF exposure, making them the single largest institutional holder. More than the next 29 holders combined. Ask yourself why one of the most powerful banks on Wall Street is building one of the largest $XRP positions in existence while your timeline is still debating whether it’s going to zero.

@lawyer_memes This isn’t the flex you think it is.

The concept of taking a lunch break is absolutely fascinating to me. Yesterday, a second-year told his paralegal he was "stepping out for a sandwich." Stepping out. Like we are in a 1950s sitcom and not pushing an IPO through the SEC. I waited until he was in the elevator and then sent him a 400-page prospectus to proofread. I requested a redline by 1:30 PM. He came back to his desk holding a sad paper bag from the deli. I watched him eat his turkey club with one hand while scrolling through the PDF with the other. Mayonnaise dripped onto his keyboard. Food is just fuel, and fuel should be consumed without joy. He won't be stepping out again.

@RobertFreundLaw Hey @grok, how naïve is the original poster when it comes to job safety on a 10 to 20 year time horizon?

Suing ChatGPT for the unlicensed practice of law after it gave awful legal advice is sad and very funny at the same time. And guess who the plaintiff hired to sort this out? Not another AI, but Sidley Austin. Jobs are still looking pretty safe from where I'm sitting.

@DietCoke_Esq Would humbly suggest it was either the tool you you were using or the prompt. Obviously, you need to manually check every citation before you present it to a judge or file it with the court.

Ok I’m going to back track a little bit on the AI use because it just hallucinated seven (7) cases with citations that look very real, with names closely resembling real cases so it’s a pain to cite check

@Isaac__NBA Who built the roster?

I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The effort was there but the talent was not. Like I’ve said all year…the shortcomings of this team this year have a lot more to do with the roster than in game coaching from Penny.

@RevelsHiram @geoff_calkins They were there 1st 5yrs — and he couldn’t win the conference then. He finally won it in year 7, the same year Cincinnati, Houston & UCF left and got replaced by Rice and North Texas. Man, such a powerhouse. 😂

@smithjerrod @geoff_calkins That was also with them in the conference jackass!

Even understanding that attendance at Memphis games is down -- the reality is still shocking.

@RevelsHiram @geoff_calkins A .663 win rate in a conference that lost UConn, Cincinnati, Houston, UCF and SMU to Power conferences — replaced by Rice, North Texas and UTSA — is supposed to impress me? Come back when he’s doing that in the ACC or Big 12. 😂

@smithjerrod @geoff_calkins 8 years a .663 win percentage, coach of the year, won 29 game just last season. Made PJ an all american has guys in the league, has 7, 20 win season has beaten 8 ranked teams including a number 1 and number 2.

@RevelsHiram @geoff_calkins 8 years, 2 NCAA Tournament wins, 3 violations investigations, 100% roster turnover every season, and his ‘best’ year came in a AAC gutted as real programs fled to Power 4. Meanwhile Memphis is spending $7M in NIL — dwarfing conference peers — and losing to East Carolina at home!!

@smithjerrod @geoff_calkins How has he destroyed the program and he’s had more 20 win season than a down season like this one, yall just making shit up.

@mgiannotto Stop carrying water for this guy just because of his playing career. He has been a disaster by any objective measure.

If I were still writing columns in Memphis, I’d write Memphis would eventually regret ending the Penny era like this just like so many regret how the Finch firing was handled. Give him another year, if only because it buys time to figure out an amicable ending for a school legend

@SainAsylum Disaster. What could have been. What a waste

Just for context Chandler Parsons played 3 seasons for the Grizzlies - 2017-2019 With the latest medical update - there will be around 11 games left in the season Over a similar 3 season span - 2024-2026 - Ja Morant will have played less games than Chandler Parsons The offseason of 22-23 truly kicked off a nightmare stretch for Ja Morant and the Grizzlies

@SMB_Attorney Do you even practice law. I’d guess yes and have been for about 4 years. Awful take.

You guys don’t get it yet. Everyone keeps saying AI is going to replace lawyers. I don’t think people understand how this actually plays out. Let’s say you use AI to draft a contract. The contract misses something important. A year later it costs you two million dollars. What do you do? Right now, you sue your lawyer. In the AI world, you’d sue the AI company. Two things can happen. Option 1: The AI company has liability for legal advice. If that’s the case, every AI company will immediately stop letting consumers use AI for real legal work. The liability risk is massive. Option 2: The AI company has no liability because of disclaimers. If that happens, every state bar in the country will say consumers are being exposed to unregulated legal advice and call it the unauthorized practice of law. And they’ll shut it down that way. Either path leads to the same outcome. Consumer AI will be limited to generic “Wikipedia-style” legal information and LegalZoom level document prep. But the real AI tools? Those will live inside law firms. Lawyers will use them to move faster, analyze more data, and run way more matters at once. The M&A lawyer doing 5 deals at a time will do 50. Trial lawyers will run far more cases simultaneously. The idea that AI replaces lawyers probably dies. The more likely outcome is that AI supercharges the best lawyers and makes the profession even more profitable than ever.

@cenkuygur @grok is this true?

It’s indisputable that Israel is far more dangerous than Iran. They’ve attacked seven of their neighbors, they already have nukes (and would have the least restraint in using them), they’re occupying millions of people and continue to expand their territory through violent acts.

@elonmusk I would love to hear you expand on the concept of saving for retirement or not. Both the implications to the financial industry, but also those of us that have sizable retirement nest eggs right now, should we be cutting back on savings or even spending some savings to enjoy life

I’ve predicted 2026 for a while now

@thepropgallery @GrantYun2

Buy and forget digital assets CryptoPunks XCOPY Beeple Fidenza Nakamoto card That’s the list, anything else?

@JohnMartin929 It’s disgusting

TANK WARS.

@ChrisHerrington Is this just a way to tank legally? The amount of calf strains in the league this year is absurd. The league has a massive problem with players sitting for the most minor of injuries. It’s ridiculous. And can someone do an investigative piece on Grizz training staff plz?

This game is going to be an absolute mess. Cancel the broadcast. Burn the tapes.

@mcuban @grok what drives token cost and do you see that improving over time.

This is the smartest counter I’ve seen to ai taking over jobs, in the short term. Is the ((aggregate tokens cost to do what an employee does + plus fully encumbered developer and maintenance costs ) / (fully encumbered employee cost ) )<= productivity ? If it takes 8 Claude agents, at $300 for tokens, per day, plus $200 per day in dev/maint , to do what an employee does per day, at a fully encumbered cost of $1200. That’s 2600/1200. But then you need to factor in the productivity rate. Is it more than 2.16 x productive ? Are there qualitative issues like morale, morality, whatever , that can’t be quantified, that need to go into the decision? What is the going forward progression of burdened costs for the tokens ? Curious what people think about this ?

@elonmusk @DavidSHolz How much power needed for the 5M bots. Assume it’s available but what sort of connections and distribution is required. Will have to evenly disburse around city I assume so they aren’t spending all their time walking back and forth to charging stations?

@DavidSHolz 🚀

5 million humanoid robots working 24/7 can build Manhattan in ~6 months. now just imagine what the world looks like when we have 10 billion of them by 2045. now imagine the year 2100.
