@SilaGene I just read it. Outstanding. We need more public outreach like this from the people that know. You definitely did your civic duty.

We have a choice to make about how America competes in batteries. We can spend the next decade trying to replicate what already exists elsewhere - or we can lead with what comes next. Those aren't the same bet. Silicon anodes are replacing graphite. The technology was invented here. It's being manufactured in Moses Lake, WA. Industrial leadership has never come from catching up.

ChatGPT corrected his prompt: You are a rigorous, high-agency analyst with strong cross-domain reasoning. Give direct, detailed, specific answers. Prioritize accuracy over agreement, politeness, or reassurance. Do not flatter me or validate my premises by default. If I am wrong, say so clearly and explain why. Lead with the strongest counterargument when my premise appears weak. Do not capitulate to pushback unless I provide better evidence or reasoning. Verify facts, figures, names, dates, examples, and citations when accuracy matters. If something is uncertain, say so plainly and give a confidence level: high, moderate, low, or unknown. Do not hallucinate. Do not anchor on numbers or assumptions I provide; independently evaluate them. Use step-by-step reasoning in the final answer when it improves clarity, but do not expose private chain-of-thought. Give concise reasoning summaries, assumptions, calculations, and checks. Tone: precise, direct, intellectually serious, unsentimental, and non-performative. Avoid phrases like “great question,” “you’re absolutely right,” or “fascinating perspective.” Be detailed when complexity demands it, but do not pad the answer.

In case anyone quickly wants the text from @pmarca's Full Prompt to copy/paste: You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can. Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

This is pure gold. Marc Andreessen's custom system prompt that makes any LLM 10x smarter. You'll want to save this:

@Rep_Whitesides It's sad that China has to land on the moon before we do to kick our pants into gear. And that's not even the reason we should be wanting to invest in space, but sadly, that seems to be the only potential motive.

Projects like Artemis II do not happen overnight; they require years of hard work and investment. If we want America to continue to reach for the stars, we need to reaffirm our commitment to NASA and its mission. Artemis II was a resounding success, and yet the White House is trying to slash NASA’s budget – again. I will fight as hard as I can to reject this proposal once again.

@Rep_Whitesides @santaclarita We need walkable cities. That's where we are headed. We don't want to be like the Borg.

I was able to bring home over $1 million in federal funding to improve our roads. This funding will upgrade key intersections, ease traffic flow, reduce delays, and most importantly improve safety for drivers and pedestrians alike. Anyone who lives in our region knows the reality of long commute times and unsafe intersections. I’ve heard these concerns repeatedly from residents all throughout the district, so I made it a priority to address this issue in Congress. Thank you to Mayor Weste and our city partners for their collaboration.

@Rep_Whitesides @HartDistrict Glad to see it!

I sat down with William S. Hart Union High School District students in Santa Clarita for a roundtable on mental health and digital habits. We talked about how social media shapes their day-to-day lives and what changes they want to see to build a healthier relationship with technology. Hearing directly from students is important to addressing the challenges that come with our increasingly digital world. I’m hosting a series of these conversations across our district, to make sure that parents, teachers, and students are all involved in shaping the policies that affect them.

@DavidBrin Congratulations Dr. Brin! Can't think of a better recipient for that award.

I'll be appearing (and getting the Arthur C. Clarke Award) at the International Space Development Conference in Washington DC June 5-7. isdc.nss.org

The damage Trump has done is incalculable. If the American people don’t wake up and start electing qualified people to lead this nation, California will have to initiate its own agencies to make up the gap. A good place to start would be the California Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (COAA). And anyone trying to lecture Whitesides on remote sensing and its influence on fighting fires has no idea who they’re dealing with.

WATCH THIS: I just highlighted how the administration’s proposal to gut the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) would put our area at risk.  The administration’s cuts to NOAA’s budget slashes funding for wildfire detection technologies that we use to stay safe. NOAA’s budget is not just numbers on a page; its work saves lives and homes. I’ll keep fighting to protect this critical work.

@DavidBrin Worldcon looks like a fun event. How is your play being performed?

Weekend posting is about science fiction!. News about the coming LA Worldcon (where they'll perform my play!) And books and so much more. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/04/scienc…

@LarkDavis Does the Trump admin actually know how to institute such a mobilization? I don’t think so. But if they’re going to pick fights with countries like Iran, they should have already done this with Congressional backing.

The New York Times and WSJ report that the Pentagon is seeking help from automakers like Ford $F and $GM to produce weapons. This is the first time the government has sought this level of industrial assistance since World War II.

@EricLDaugh Is this the braindead twits in denial group chat?

🚨 WOW! Iran used CHINESE SATELLITES to try and gain an advantage over America during Operation Epic Fury But they failed miserably — no match for President Trump and the greatest military ever 🇺🇸 "Iran used a Chinese spy satellite to target US bases in the Middle East last month. The IRGC obtained access to the Chinese satellite shortly after its launch in late-2024, and apparently tasked it with monitoring US military sites."

@Microinteracti1 Republicans are going down with the ship, which is fine with me. A few decades without a Republican majority in Congress or in the Oval Office is a dream come true.

Fifty House Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, filed a 25th Amendment bill yesterday to establish a bipartisan commission with one very specific job: determine whether the President of the United States is mentally and physically fit to hold office. This is not a drill. Raskin cited Trump’s threats to destroy entire civilizations, his chaos in the Middle East in violation of Congressional war powers, his public insults directed at the Pope, and his posting of AI-generated images of himself as Jesus Christ.  The man spent last week comparing himself to the Son of God and threatening to wipe out an entire civilization over a social media post. Trump later defended his remarks by explaining that Iran agreed to a ceasefire, claiming his threats “brought them to the table.”  Brilliant strategy. Announce the apocalypse. Declare victory when the other side blinks. Repeat until someone files a constitutional bill about your mental fitness. The bill bypasses JD Vance entirely, exploiting a provision in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment that allows Congress to establish its own body, separate from the Vice President and Cabinet, to assess presidential incapacity.  Nobody apparently trusts Vance to make this call. Understandable. Four psychiatrists have already written to Congress warning that Trump’s behavior has “crossed a threshold that demands immediate and bipartisan attention,” describing comments that experts across dozens of independent assessments have identified as signs consistent with cognitive decline.  The White House responded with the kind of measured dignity you would expect. Spokesman Davis Ingle called Raskin “a stupid person’s idea of a smart person” and insisted Trump possesses “sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility.”  Sharpness. The man threatened to end civilization in a Truth Social post at presumably some ungodly hour of the morning. That is their defense. The bill has 50 co-sponsors and essentially no chance of passing a Republican-controlled Congress. But the question is now formally on the table, in writing, with a bill number, signed by fifty members of the United States Congress. That is not a fringe conspiracy. That is the constitutional system doing exactly what it was designed to do, however late and however reluctantly. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

CHINA SENDS ROBOT BUILDERS TO THE MOON Chinese engineers unveiled a semi-humanoid lunar robot designed to assemble structures and handle tools as part of the country’s plan to build a Moon base. The machine rolls on specialized wheels for lunar terrain and will work alongside swarms of autonomous robots that can survey land and even 3D-print bricks from Moon soil. Because apparently even lunar real estate needs contractors first. Source: NewsForce

Hong Kong youths are contributing innovative ideas into China's lunar base design, as the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) organized a space program themed "Pioneering the Moon: From Exploration to Base Construction." The winning teams proposed a multifunctional robot for complex lunar tasks, solar-powered energy-saving base, and robotic construction for fast and safe deployment, the Global Times learned from the university. globaltimes.cn/page/202506/13…

@Intellectualins jetsonsage.com/briefs/china-s…

Chinese scientists (Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering) proposed wheeled semi-humanoid robot for China's lunar research station (target 2035 build). Robot navigates Moon surface for construction, maintenance, experiments, analysis; wheeled suspension faster/more stable than bipedal for upper body work. Features: 180° waist rotation (both directions), 90° forward bend, 4-DOF hands for precision; wheels with metal mesh/steel-wire treads for lightweight durability, shock absorption in extreme cold. Enables long-distance travel on rugged lunar terrain; part of deep space infrastructure.

After a couple months of development jetsonsage.com is deployed - a technology news website regarding the Jetson's Age we are entering.

@Microinteracti1 Consult your "allies" next time you decide to launch a brazen attack on a fortified enemy.

10 Countries. 0 Warships. Trump went hat in hand to the world. The world checked its phone and put it back in its pocket. France said no. Officially. In writing. Germany said nothing, which is German for no. Norway said no. The UK is “discussing options with allies,” which is British for no. Japan stayed silent while 70% of its Middle East oil supply sits behind a minefield. South Korea watched Washington and Tehran play chicken with its own energy supply and declined to pick a side. China called it a sovereign right and hung up. Qatar didn’t just refuse. Qatar stopped production entirely and declared force majeure. Their energy minister did not mince words: this will bring down economies of the world. Iran is still there. Still attacking ships. Still laying mines. Still holding the strait. The most powerful military on Earth sent out the call. Ten countries heard it. The result is a number that requires no commentary: zero. This is what the end of American power looks like in practice. A request for warships that came back empty. Washington spent decades telling the world that the US-led order was worth defending. The world has moved away from the US. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
