It’s upsetting to watch so many people be led to believe a software feature created from human exhaust is an alien intelligence. It’s a psyop. LLMs are a clever way to compress and search large databases with patterns. They have now inhaled effectively all of human knowledge. From this point, there will be spikes of improvement in narrow areas, but the big models are already collapsing from inhaling their own exhaust. The core technology is at least 40 years old. Neural networks are nothing new. We’re just attaching obscene amounts of computing and data to them. The physical nature of an LLM is literally just a database of tokens (word parts) and weights (relationships) that can be queried. It is not magic. It can be made deterministic by setting the entropy aka temperature to zero. It is a clever way to store an immense amount of data and retrieve it through token predicting. “Agents” are just LLMs being queried in a loop. They take exponentially more energy and suffer the same problems as chatbots—hallucinations and sycophancy—but exponentially more complicated to solve. In reality, it’s all a category error. It’s a mirage created by the desire of a small group of elites to build a technological and financial moat around themselves. “AGI” is the McGuffin, the plot device, to serve as the messiah that will deliver people from the toils of everyday life. The broligarchs are trying to sell us our own replacements. According to them, we won’t have to drive, or work, or think anymore. The robots and AI will all do it for us. It’s the oldest con there is: magic beans. Your chatbot is not your Jesus or your girlfriend. Your Claude instance is not intelligent. It’s a search engine for human knowledge stolen from the internet and the destruction of physical books. So please understand. You are witnessing the biggest financial bubble in all of human history based on deceptive marketing, astroturfing, and cult dynamics. You are not witnessing the birth of a new intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s a battle we’re losing.

Elon Musk is going to retail because he needs his brainwashed cult of gullible crypto bros to follow him off the cliff. Not enough professional investors are willing to give a racist midwit welfare queen the privilege of burning their money. The biggest scam in history.

It's official. SpaceX is going straight to retail investors. "Certain of the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby will, at our request, be offered to retail investors," SpaceX says in their S-1 filing today. These shares will be available through Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, SoFi Securities, and ETRADE. Retail will have a huge role in this historic IPO.

SpaceX's IPO filing reveals many secrets, including the fact that SpaceX is unprofitable and Elon controls 85% of the vote. The financials: $18.7 billion revenues & $4.9 billion of losses, driven mostly by xAI. Large data center builds to catch up to the competition = cash burn.

This is so corrupt that the lawyers who crafted this should be disbarred & removed, the acting AG who signed it should be disbarred & removed, and the president who orchestrated it all should be impeached & removed & finally at long last made irrelevant. Staggering corruption
PBS News@NewsHour

The U.S. government has agreed to drop any tax claims and audits of President Trump, his sons and the Trump organization, according to a letter signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. It comes a day after the government announced a nearly $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to compensate some of the president’s allies. @AliRogin has the latest.

OpenAI is finished. The Ponzi will be exposed well before the year ends. Every penny of AI spending the market is pricing into this rally needs to be erased. Their revenue model is on life support. Open A LIE can barely sustain its OpEx, let alone fund a $600B buildout

@ValueAnalyst1 Enron Musk smirks when he gets away with his bullshit. When there's any type of pushback, then he's the world's biggest victim. A worthless, narcissistic piece of shit.

The data centers keep drinking our water while the billionaires who own them lecture us about “conservation.” I was raised to recognize when the temple is being looted by those who claim to guard it. Brown taps. Dead wells. VIP server farms. This isn’t progress — it’s ritual sacrifice of the commons for private profit. America wasn’t built for this. We see you. ⧋

I rode in one of the last Tesla $TSLA model X cars ever produced this weekend. It was a thing of beauty and FSD worked almost flawlessly. Almost… In 100% of trials it failed to slow down from 65 mph to 35 mph in a small town without intervention. The signs were clearly visible, but ignored. That is a major problem and something that isn’t easily fixable to allow for unsupervised FSD

Only a matter of time the bond vigilantes would come out in play. The last thing a declining country needs is massive amounts of debt. The debt spiral is about to speed up as the Govt will have to borrow more just to pay the higher interest.

As shocking as this might sound, I’ve yet to find any evidence to the contrary. All you see when you start digging are half-finished data centers scattered across the country. Where are all the fully completed 1 GW+ scale data centers that are up and running? Crickets …

i am now 100% sure that nvidia is holding at least a million blackwell GPUs in warehouses - something @kakashiii111 has been on for years (and @DarioCpx too). Based on discussions with sources, I am not confident hyperscalers have more than 5GW of capacity combined.
