@BrandonStraka Maybe non-US banks should confiscate any money Trump holds in their accounts under the same pretense.

Democrats ERUPTS as reports say Trump may require banks to verify citizenship for ALL customers—including existing accounts. A major immigration crackdown could be coming.

@elonmusk Im a little more worried about the influence of billionaires.

We don’t live in a democracy if our elected leaders fail to implement the will of the people

@pootlepress I did the final renders for my design that was selected for this years Man Base for Burning Man with Leonardo AI. I started with a hand drawn sketch and then fed in some technical drawings and tree imagery and was able to craft renderings like this one from it.

Drop a comment with something cool you’ve built with AI recently. Curious what people are making 👀

@AlchemyAmerican No they did not

🚨 BREAKING: Italian radar scientist detected what appears to be a massive grid of eight cylindrical structures, each 20 meters in diameter, descending over a kilometer beneath the Giza pyramids using Synthetic Aperture Radar Doppler Tomography. The cylindrical columns have coils wrapping around them resulting in a megastructure that looks like an ancient energy grid 🚨 So I brought in Geoffrey Drumm, one of the most technically rigorous pyramid researchers alive, to stress test every claim in real time. What followed was a four hour technical interrogation that revealed both stunning validations and unresolved questions about what may be the most significant archaeological discovery of the century. Biondi holds a PhD in radar science, 30 years in the field, and invented a proprietary method called the Biondi Protocol that reads surface micro-vibrations detected by Italian COSMO-SkyMed satellites to reconstruct what lies inside and beneath solid structures. His first peer-reviewed paper scanned the Great Pyramid in 2020. His second project scanned the Khafre Pyramid and the wider Giza Plateau, producing the 3D model that broke the internet: eight tubular columns with coils wrapping around them, sitting on a foundation of enormous cube-shaped structures, extending beneath all three pyramids and the Sphinx. Drumm is the author of The Land of Chem YouTube channel, lives in Egypt, and has developed a comprehensive hypothesis that the pyramids functioned as industrial-scale chemical reactors powered by lightning during the Saharan Humid Period. He knows the Giza Plateau like the back of his hand and has previously stress tested and poked holes in Biondi’s findings. This conversation is an unfiltered exchange between two heavyweights: 1. Biondi's Best Scan Is Jaw-Dropping As validation, Biondi presented a proof-of-concept scan of Italy's Gran Sasso National Laboratory, buried 1.4 kilometers inside a mountain. The image is stunning. You can see the tunnel cutting through the mountain, the interior of the facility, and even the interferometer inside it using the same technique Biondi used to scan beneath the pyramids. Drumm called it the single most convincing piece of evidence that this technology works. The Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland produced a similarly clear image at two kilometers depth through solid rock. These are not theoretical demonstrations. They are working scans of known structures at extreme depth, and they validate that the Biondi Protocol can see through kilometers of stone. 2. He Found a Hidden Corridor Before Anyone Else In his 2020 paper, Biondi identified a feature on the northern face of the Great Pyramid labeled Tag 17. A dead-end corridor behind the chevron stones that nobody knew existed. Years later, the ScanPyramids muon team confirmed it and drilled in with a microscopic camera. Biondi's measurements of the corridor's length and the positions of its floor and ceiling matched what was found. This is a confirmed prediction from satellite radar, made years before physical verification. 3. He Detected a Sealed Shaft Beneath the Queen's Chamber One of the most compelling findings from the 2020 paper is a shaft and chamber system descending from the bottom of the Queen's Chamber. This structure was actually reported in 19th century excavation documents. Explorers found a pit in the Queen's Chamber floor, excavated down, and discovered a tunnel system below it. The Egyptian authorities then permanently sealed it with modern blocks. Biondi's scans picked it up independently, with no prior knowledge of those historical records. Drumm, who had already proposed this exact extraction shaft in his own chemical reactor model, called this the most promising result in the entire dataset. 4. The Substructures Are Enormous The tubular columns beneath the Khafre Pyramid measure approximately 20 meters in diameter each, spaced about 5 meters apart. That is 65 feet across per column. Eight of them. For context, the Queen's Chamber sometimes fails to register in certain scan slices because it is too small relative to the tomographic line. Biondi's argument is that megastructures at this scale are exactly what the technology is built to detect. Small chambers can be missed depending on the angle of the satellite pass. Repeating cylindrical structures 20 meters wide, appearing consistently across multiple scan geometries and multiple satellite sensors, are a different category of detection entirely. 5. Drumm's Challenge: The Processing Gap Here is where the debate gets sharp. The Gran Sasso and Gotthard scans used an advanced processing technique that averages noise across adjacent tomographic slices, requiring months of computation on borrowed hardware. The pyramid scans used a faster but noisier method on Biondi's own limited computers. Drumm pointed out that the quality difference is massive. The proof-of-concept images are transparent like a crystal. The pyramid images require expert interpretation to read. Biondi's response: he needs an array of GPUs he cannot afford. With that hardware, he says he could produce Gran Sasso-quality scans of the Giza substructures in near real-time. Estimated cost: millions. This is the bottleneck standing between a controversial claim and a potentially world-changing confirmation. 6. Other issues: Known Chambers Sometimes Do Not Appear Drumm walked through the 2020 dataset scan by scan. The Queen's Chamber shows a strong, consistent signature and serves as a reliable benchmark. But in several tomographic slices, the King's Chamber does not appear. The Grand Gallery does not appear. The subterranean chamber does not appear. Biondi attributes this to single-slice geometry. Each scan captures one vertical curtain through the structure in 15 seconds. If that curtain does not intersect a chamber precisely, it will not register. He says the real-time GPU system would allow him to sweep through hundreds of adjacent slices and reconstruct a full 3D volume. That system does not yet exist. 7. Biondi Challenged the Muon Team's Interpretation The ScanPyramids muon team claims the Big Void inside the Great Pyramid runs north to south, parallel to and above the Grand Gallery. Biondi's scans show it running east to west, connected to structures wrapping around the King's Chamber. Looking at the muon data during the conversation, Biondi argued they may have confused the floor and roof of the Grand Gallery for two separate features. The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities is using the muon team's interpretation to justify drilling into the Great Pyramid in 2026. If Biondi is right about the orientation, that excavation could validate SAR Doppler tomography over the established method in one stroke. 8. The Signal Fades at 600 Meters and Nobody Knows Why The model shows structures extending over a kilometer deep. But in the raw data, the signal tapers around 600 meters. Drumm pressed Biondi on this. The initial explanation was the water table, but both agreed the actual water table sits only about 50 meters below the plateau. When pushed further, Biondi said he cannot yet explain the change but hinted at something he is not authorized to disclose. The structures do continue in the model below that line, detected across multiple satellite sensors showing the same cutoff pattern. What changes at 600 meters remains an open question. 9. Drumm's Model Says the Substructures Could Make Functional Sense Drumm's hypothesis is that each pyramid produced a specific chemical in sequence, from methane extraction at the Step Pyramid to ammonia synthesis in the Red Pyramid to sulfuric acid production in the Great Pyramid. He places the operational period during the Saharan Humid Period, roughly 8500 to 5300 BC, when massive thunderstorms provided the electrical input. The Big Void sits exactly where a heat exchanger would need to be to manage exothermic reactions in the Grand Gallery. The sealed shaft beneath the Queen's Chamber aligns with his proposed product extraction system. He confirmed that he has already integrated Biondi's substructure findings into a working functional model. If the deep structures are real, they connect to known hydrothermal mineral deposits, iron ore veins, and rare earth elements embedded in the Giza bedrock. Drumm and Biondi both agree: whoever built these structures chose the Giza Plateau for a very specific reason tied to what lies beneath it. 10. Validation & What Comes Next Biondi wants to establish a foundation in Malta with a dedicated data center and GPU array to reprocess the Giza data using his superior technique. Drumm wants to go to the Giza Plateau with Biondi's team to physically investigate anomalies he has already identified near the Osiris Shaft and along the Khafre causeway. Both say the SAR method and the muon method should be combined rather than treated as competitors. Both state that the conventional dating and tomb explanation for the pyramids is wrong. And both Drumm and Biondi agree that what lies beneath the Giza Plateau is more important than what sits on top of it. They also agree on the need for further validation and stress-testing. Why This Matters A satellite technique that can see through 1.4 kilometers of mountain and accurately image the Gran Sasso Laboratory. A confirmed prediction of a hidden corridor inside the Great Pyramid years before physical verification. A detection of a sealed shaft that matches 19th century excavation records. And now, scans showing a repeating grid of massive cylindrical structures beneath the entire Giza Plateau that no conventional archaeological framework can account for. The technology has demonstrated real capability. The substructure claims remain extraordinary. The 2026 Big Void excavation and GPU-powered rescans could settle this within months. If even a fraction of what Biondi is detecting turns out to be real, we are looking at the largest undiscovered structure on Earth, hidden in plain sight beneath the most studied archaeological site in human history. Full conversation covers all of this and much more. One of the most important technical examinations of the pyramid mystery ever recorded. Live now👇

@pootlepress I feel like the prompt I write the most by volume is the one to correct the last 10% of something it did 90% right the first go. That last 10% can take hours to get right.

I spend most of my life prompting AI and have come to a scientific conclusion 👀 There are basically three kinds of prompts I use: - the “let’s see what happens” prompt - the “do this exactly” prompt - the “make it feel less like it was written by a microwave” prompt (+ one bonus type) Wrote it up here 👇

@EricLDaugh I just wonder if having proper healthcare, safety nets and mental health systems might be a better way of administering health care than sending first responders might be a better way? Sadly it does not seem like we will know for a while.

@nicksortor @BillAckman Why would the US intercept a call to trigger sleeper cells, and then broadcast and amplify it?

🚨 TERRIFYING: The US has reportedly intercepted encrypted conversations from the Iranian government meant to trigger "SLEEPER CELLS" across the west, including in the US, per ABC Thanks to the Democrats, we have NO CLUE how many of these sleeper cells are in the US, and Schumer is STILL keeping DHS shut down. Democrats are enemies of the people.

This was such a fun conversation @davideagleman! Thanks for having me on.

@elonmusk It also always disproportionately taxes wage earners.

True

@elonmusk Except for the part that they don't: "Research generally indicates that sanctuary policies—which limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities—do not lead to increased crime and may, in some cases, be associated with lower crime rates. "

Indeed, it is madness

@sama Helping them illegally spy on US citizens, and taking humans out of the kill decision loop will be on your shoulders. This decision is bad now, and will age even worse.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

I'm glad Anthropic held the line, but that we live in a world where it is up to DOD contractors to enforce basic morals and the laws against spying on our own citizens, there is a serious problem.
