Sam Altman has admitted he is on a waitlist for a procedure that would digitize his brain.
The procedure would kill him. He considers this an acceptable trade for digital immortality.
This is the person making decisions about the future of artificial intelligence for hundreds of millions of users. A man who views ending his own biological life as a reasonable step toward uploading his consciousness to the cloud.
These are not the priorities of a stable leader.

@acceptdystopia @HansMahncke 350% would mean that the 126 Billion can now cover flights for only 40-50 years (Instead of 150-200 years)?
English

@IndependentasF @HansMahncke The flaw in his premise is that it assumes the same demand rate. The entire point is to create a higher demand (and thus, lower cost) option. For example in Rome there is approx 350% higher rail travel over air travel any given day.

If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.

In a 60 Minutes report, officials said they now believe the rail line linking L.A. and San Francisco could ultimately cost about $126 billion, more than triple the original price tag approved by voters. ktla.com/news/californi…

@acceptdystopia @HansMahncke And....? His whole point is that its NOT low cost!!
Its actually more expensive than flights...!
English

@HansMahncke “Current demand levels” is the whole fucking problem here. What people want is a low cost option for spontaneous convenient travel. Like in Europe. Easy. Low cost. Ubiquitous. Demand levels will skyrocket.

@noface_trdr @HarryHH1993 No. They update it every Tuesday.

@maelan_sdmr Keep it up! As a long term OPEN holder I fully agree that we should only care about the long term success of the company, and we should all work together to make it work.
English

I believe the fundamental difference between you and me is that you're a trader and I'm a builder. And precisely my approach is fundamental, as it always should be, especially for a company like $OPEN
You worry about the potential temporary negative visibility one of my posts will get on Opendoor; and I just don't.
And btw even if the case it's extremely negligible compared to a site like Trustpilot.
I try to solve problems that can be solved with a mindset of absolute certainty and maximum awareness, and leave absolutely nothing to chance. I believe this explains our differing viewpoints and everything that stems from them.
I couldn't care less if the stock loses 5% on Monday because some whale stumbles upon my post. However, if certain problems were discovered thanks to it and certain processes were improved within the business model, then that's absolutely extraordinary for the company and increases its chances of future success.
And proof that it was useful, @morganb took care of it; but that wasn't even what I was asking for, I just wanted to make sure the team was aware of it, or that someone can shed light on the potential reasons for such criticism. And then they are much more capable than you and me of making the necessary decisions accordingly.
And that's without even considering the negative image that certain comments on Trustpilot - whether legit or fake - can have on the brand's image (in 2026: twelve 1-star & just one 3-stars & just one 5-stars). This is in any case also a problem that we should be able to potentially address and that shouldn't be neglected, especially if reviews are made up and shouldn't be there whatsoever.
When you want to build something excellent and lasting, this is what people do; they relentlessly tackle each and every potential problem, while always keeping a long-term vision in mind.
You can't achieve this by burying your head in the sand and hoping for the best. But you must seek the truth no matter what. You have to act on things you can control. That's what smart people do, they literally act and and try to achieve perfection in everything they can control. And very often the things one can control are far more numerous than people think.
And again, it's far better to be wrong than to have ignored it. And yet I've always appreciated you because we've had some good discussions and we both like all the tickers in your bio for example.
But calling me names and saying that my account is a FUD agent when you've seen my posts for the last 8 months, when 99% of them are all ultra bullish for $OPEN, and when it cannot be more explicit what my account is dedicated to, is a little dishonest and mean of you.
I would tend to say that I make some effort, and that those who don't, because not capable or willing to make some, don't like it.
I understand what your perspective is as a trader, but you should have been much more nuanced in your criticisms, to say the least.
Darth Skyrmion@TheRealSkyrmion
@maelan_sdmr @MarioMassa316 Anyways, I’m sorry for calling you names. Just stop feeding unfounded negativity to the algorithm and fuelling its visibility. It doesn’t make sense. Legitimate criticism sure.
English

@YeeTak8 This is super good news. But this site (singularityresearchfund.com/opendoor-track…) supposedly monitors all homes $open SELLS, and according to them they dont sell too much more than in the past. Thats weird...
English

This is getting a second review as my rep also thought this didn’t make sense but a 17.6% service fee seems stout $open @nejatian

English

@TalBeerySec Yep, this is just unbelievably stupid!!
Its so stupid that I have to believe it was made by someone who wanted revenge on WhatsApp or whatever.
English

@DarkMiner This long-term risk-to-reward ratio and tied-up collateral are not very appealing.

English

@silversurfer1_ @grok is it true that he deleted all posts anout $open?
English

Why does Mike Alfred delete all his posts about $OPEN?
Very interesting…
Silver Surfer@silversurfer1_
Smart money continues to load up on $OPEN Mike Alfred is now up to 1.527M shares

@classonde It isn't the CRM. It is all the stuff that goes around it. All the apps. All the training of sales staff. Etc. If you think training sales team is a core competency then maybe it makes sense. Otherwise, just grab off the shelf and move to the next issue.
English

here is what happens next with $HIMS:
1. Forced covering: ~40% of the float is short (~81M shares) with 4 days to cover.
Some shorts are already underwater = first wave of covering.
2. Next days: Volatility
Expect violent swings (5–10%) as shorts cover and new buyers step in.
3. Next 1–2 weeks: Thesis collapse + Real squeeze
Once deal details + analyst upgrades hit, the bear case weakens..
Short interest falls from ~40% to 15–20% as the trade unwinds.
that’s when the real re-rating happens.

@NeoMatrixS @tesladriver2022 @grok what is he talking about? Are there videos where FSD driving vehicles plow into other cars creating fatalities?
English

I have seen few videos where Tesla cars plowed (without braking) into cars that were blocking the freeway (previous crash at night) causing fatalities.
It is one thing to see oncoming lights and another one to have the wisdom of not overrunning own headlights and driving slowly in the right lane on a road that does not have a median wall.
Human eyes are better than cameras at low light conditions. If driving at night in heavy rain, I
would never trust Tesla‘s autopilot.
English

I never thought I’d be posting one of these Tesla clips; however, Tesla Self Driving, saved me and my daughter’s life tonight. We are in Michigan right now for her horseback riding competition, it is so foggy tonight, and driving back to our hotel a car that could not see in the fog was driving in our lane heading towards us. I was paying attention, and the oncoming car did not look like it was in our lane; however, the Tesla could see better than I could, and knew it was in our lane, and it took quick action to move us out of harm’s way. Unbelievable. This is life-saving technology happening now!!! @tesla @tesla_na @RyanTorresTesla @elonmusk @aelluswamy @wholemars @iliketeslas @DirtyTesLa @teslaownersSV @RealTeslaNorth @giga_bull @TeslaBoomerMama @TeslaAiGirl @Kristennetten @gailalfaratx

@Han_Akamatsu @grok is he right? Is there really no deal yet? Why did the stock pop?
English

I genuinely believe that the +40% after hours $HIMS saw was pure short covering.
The media used the forced short covering that took place, and handed out a media piece of a $NVO partnership to cover up the fact they had to force cover.
Funds started buying at $15. There’s thin liquidity after hours, and them buying the same shares back had it spiked to what you’ve seen.
How does it mechanically happen? When funds are shorting, they borrow shares they don’t have to go short.
Then, when they’re profitable, they sell those shares into the market and later they must buy those shares back to return them back to the lender.
This final buyback is a short covering. That’s what happened, the sudden upward pressure you saw was created because they’re competing for the same shares after hours, and as liquidity is thin when regular hours market closes, you get these spikes of +40%.
The media can’t tell you the shorts covered. And as everyone will start questioning of what’s happening after hours, they had to come up with a media piece to justify price action.
There’s no $NVO partnership yet, not actual source.
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But I’ve seen that happening with shorted stocks thousands of times.

He's talking about X Money—the new beta payments feature rolling out on X.
You can hold cash earning 6% APY (FDIC-insured up to $250k via partner bank, boosted by direct deposit), get a metal debit card with 3% cashback on spends, plus easy P2P transfers—all inside the app.
That's the "9% yield" math he's hyped about vs old-school banks. Early beta users are loving it.
