@GinGin19438461 @collision @dwarkesh_sp @elonmusk You are 'literally' at that part. OK.

I’m literally at the part using customer service as an example of revenue using AI. I DONT WANT TO SPEAK TO AI. I want to speak with a HUMAN, and not be charged for it. There is already too much navigation just to get to a human now. AI cannot answer my question the way I need it to be answered. I need the human experience of conversation

Please enjoy this Cheeky Pint / @dwarkesh_sp crossover with @elonmusk. Dwarkesh was most interested in how Elon is going to make space datacenters work. I was most interested in Elon's method for attacking hard technical problems, and why it hasn’t been replicated as much as you might expect. But we got into plenty of topics in this three-hour session. 00:00:23 Space GPUs 00:35:39 Alignment 00:58:48 xAI 01:15:01 Optimus 01:28:03 China 01:40:46 Management 02:16:38 DOGE 02:34:58 Space GPUs redux

@bobjcarr Aboriginal fire practice was used to promote grasslands or savannah instead of dense bush. Surely that will just encourage the deer population.

The spread of introduced species: Kiama West of NSW Park Service briefs on the ballooning of deer population in Blue Mountains. Like wild horses in the high country Bambi and his friends have no place here. Projects to reintroduce Aboriginal fire practice.

@NewStatesman @Will___lloyd Who's the wally with the beard?

William: future King "can't or won't" read @Will___lloyd Listen to the New Statesman podcast: newstatesman.com/podcasts

@James58386902 @NewStatesman @Will___lloyd and they'll just keep parroting 'ECHR' and 'International Law' and 'what about the Moosslims'?

@NewStatesman @Will___lloyd The lesson in all of this, is don’t ever get Rory Stewart to be your children’s private tutor, because they’ll end up becoming illiterate retards who can’t talk about anything other than their mental health.

@cultfree54 Sounds interesting, but sorry that cover is shockingly bad.

Just out is a book that I’ve written exploring the relationship in modern times between Portugal, the first oceanic explorer of the world beyond Europe, and Great Britain and the United States. Much can be learned about certain innate features of the West by tracing this relationship between countries of unequal size. This is especially true of the Second World War and the 1960s, both occasions when Portugal refused to take orders from Washington. Portugal was the first European country that the United States sought to dominate once it acquired great power status. The book reveals how, under a clear-headed autocrat, Dr Salazar, presidents like FD Roosevelt and Kennedy were repulsed on several occasions. The 350-page work shows how Portugal handled anti-imperialist and often deeply naive America with more skill than successive British Prime Ministers did. Portugal’s bid to remain a Euro-African power was eventually foiled as post-national trends redefined the West. But a patriotic spirit, shared by many of ordinary citizens imbued with much common sense, foiled a Marxist takeover in 1975. That spirit remains easy to detect down to this day.

@ravishingruby1 @realMaalouf She's encouraging him with that look

@realMaalouf This Teutonic princess is not in the slightest bit worried😂

🇩🇪 Berlin: an asylum seeker funded by German taxpayers. What could possibly explain this kind of behavior?!

@Norton what happened to your Singapore VPN location? Its disappeared without any announcement. Will it come back?

@ZayneSovereign @SeanSafyre @NTSB Exactly. Nobody is asking how the hell a phone can get out of a plane! The fact that it was on implies it was in the cabin, how could it get out of there? Even if it was in the baggage bay that is pressurized, a gap big enough for a phone to fall would cause depressurization.

Found an iPhone on the side of the road... Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for #AlaskaAirlines ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact! When I called it in, Zoe at @NTSB said it was the SECOND phone to be found. No door yet😅

@BritishProgress Maybe you could talk to some of Britain's cultural industries to find out why the story of Britain's amazing transformative history is totally absent from our TV and movie screens. Where is the Christopher Nolan movie about Brunel? Let's recognise the past to build forward.

💫 We’re launching the Centre for British Progress Our founding essay: Rediscovering British Progress is a case for growth that drives shared progress, rooted in Britain's values and industrial heritage. It all starts with a postcard from 1870 👇 britishprogress.org/articles/redis…

@polcurrency First time I've been annoyed at Ed on the podcast. He chose to take the worse possible angle on the welfare cuts and didn't assess the context of the massive increases in the welfare bill over time and the comparison to other countries.

It's 'not a Labour thing to do.' The government is set to unveil a slate of welfare cuts. But Ed Balls warns the plans are not going to work... 🎧 LISTEN: tr.ee/pc

@CANZUK Thirty years ago this would have been a good idea but with the out of control immigration in the UK and off the scale immigration in Canada its a no.

CANZUK will allow citizens of Canada, Australia, New Zealand & the UK to live and work in each other's countries, with no visas or work permits required. The opportunities it will provide for our four nations are limitless. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧

I really don’t think people quite grasp just how much more well read highly educated people used to be in the past.

@freddiesayers Maybe have a word to your US counterparts at Undercurrents. Ridiculously uncritical in their reporting of the administration.

However sympathetic you are to the populist cause, however “realist” on Ukraine, it is impossible to defend the head of the world’s most powerful nation putting out reckless semi-literate screeds like this

@gac_long @cryptojourneyrs @MaxETHx68 Fair launch, no VCs, no lockups, full transparency. MaxEth ftw.

MaxETH is a tribute coin for Max from BB running as a true CTO hitting 37 mil ATH during the last meme season peak. We have Max's full support, and will be the last piece of the Boys Club Beta Train. When Max's fans are printing from Pepe, Wolf and Andy they will all be buying MaxETH.

Which community deserves more attention? 👀

@MaxETH0x68 This is the real crypto news today

This kind of thing has the potential to rapidly destroy the public safety that's the basis of Japanese society.

@parentingboyz @vittorioangelon @mikericecomedy @elliotsteelcom How can you be so dim as to not get dry understatement? British or Irish we used to be world champions at understated humour

The Rest is History podcast is not to be trusted

@KKriegeBlog @testpilotr44 You should really have a word to your publisher. I for one hardly buy any paper books (space, postal problems where I live, convenience and ease of reading ebooks). Leaving money on the table.

@testpilotr44 Not anytime soon, perhaps if it sells well enough. This publisher makes an ebook version available if titles perform well.

Today, my book Infantry in Battle, 1733-1783, released. Why should you care? It changes the story of 18th century battles by telling the experiences of enlisted and NCOs, not just the officers. Battle looks different when you are enlisted. A thread for the infantrymen. 1/20

Everything British is being trashed.

@MarkWhittington @peterrhague Seriously gone downhill since 2000 or so

@peterrhague British comedy and satire are amazing.

It used to be the case that the majority of young people in the UK got a standard centre leftish social, political and cultural OS downloaded into them by the time they went to uni. It included such ideas as: 1. Neil Gaiman is cool 2. You vote for whichever of Labour or Lib Dems (ie the Good Guys) has the best chance to beat the Tories 3. BBC comedy and satire is amazing 4. The NHS is the greatest healthcare system in the world and must be defended at all costs. Any apparent flaws are caused by Tories (or crypto-Tories like New Labour) underfunding or privatising it 5. The West and especially Israel is always wrong in foreign policy 6. Only a Nazi would say anything negative about any immigrant community or suggest controlling immigration 7. Continental Europe is a more sophisticated, modern place and we clearly need to be more like them This entire worldview seems to be on its last legs now though. The things we were all led to believe aren’t true anymore.
