@skorusARK @farzyness If you tried to simulate our universe, using our physics, it would take more energy than a single star system produces. Even harnessing the energy in a black hole wouldn’t be enough. If we are in a situation base reality doesn’t use the same physics we see in our universe.

As AI and AI agents floods the web, the human share of posts, clicks, and conversations will trend toward 0. People ask if we are living in a simulation today. Given the rate of AI, in 5 years if you are on a computer you will be in a simulation.

@karpathy A range of inputs that give you the same output.

Has anyone encountered a good definition of “slop”. In a quantitative, measurable sense. My brain has an intuitive “slop index” I can ~reliably estimate, but I’m not sure how to define it. I have some bad ideas that involve the use of LLM miniseries and thinking token budgets.

@BrandonPerna Ohio should just combine into one team. The Columbus Brown Bangles.

Joe Burrow healing at a rapid rate just to return to this.

@NYKChannel I think Musk Meals would be better.

We're craving some Franz Fries and Musk Shakes

@SecDuffy @elonmusk I am with the get rid of the TSA crowd. It is an example of the government sticking its hands where they don’t belong. We are getting screwed twice, when they pat you down and we’re paying to be harassed. I wouldn’t even pay for consensual groping.

Tell me how we can Make Traveling with Family Great Again! There’s no better place to start a family than the USA so I want to make it easier for you to travel with your kids. Here’s your chance to tell me, your Transportation Secretary, what I can do to make travel easier for your family. Send me your best ideas!

@imPenny2x I try to get in the habit of just calling and talking to people. Find some common interests and work that angle.

How do you work with people you don't like? As in, they are part of your family, or office. You are required to work together to accomplish things. Sometimes they do good work. But you just generally think they are bad people or toxic or whatever. Generally in the past I have avoided them altogether, stay out of their way, they stay out of mine. This is however suboptimal. Sometimes you need their help, and you have no relationship. Sometimes it's actually a negative relationship and they will sabotage you. I REALLY hate pretending that I like people, or even pretending that I don't not like them. But I feel like it is a potential area for growth. Seems like something I should explore. Looking for your experience.

@ICannot_Enough It would be to let the beings who created the simulation know that there is intelligent life. If we have a hard time finding signs of other intelligent life from inside; they probably have just as hard of a time finding us from the outside.

If life really is a simulation (or a video game, if you like) what achievements has nobody unlocked yet and what are the victory conditions? Is Elon just guessing at what they might be and trying to achieve all of them simultaneously?

@imPenny2x Or you could make the penny out of steel and probably produce it for less than a penny.

Pennies are good luck. It would cost about $500 bucks to make a penny out of gold. Do that, and charge $1000 for them. Problem solved. Save the penny.

@BrandonPerna And the opposite happened, the Texans didn’t score a touchdown but got a safety.

Texans drive down, score a TD, and fail to get the 2 oint conversion. That's my prediction

@stevenmarkryan Windmills?

Trump was right about everything. AND… Everyone was wrong about Trump. Let that sink in.

@imPenny2x As long as the money I was left with wasn’t all in pennies. The legalistic of depositing over a billion pennies would be a nightmare.

Would you rather have $1 million today Or A penny that is guaranteed to double in value every day for 30 days? (This was my grandfather’s favorite question and it stuck with me)

At the store today when the 5.8 earthquake hit Nevada. Lucky for me I was in the pillow aisle.

@imPenny2x @DOGE If you made the penny out of steel the materials would only cost 0.2 cents.

@imPenny2x @DOGE How about remaking the penny so you can make 10 pennies for a penny.

I’m blocking every account that asks @DOGE to end the penny.

@imPenny2x Had a friend in college who started mining bitcoin in 2010. Wish I joined him.

If you’re ever feeling dumb just remember that I told my mentor internet money was pointless when bitcoin was under a dollar.

@imPenny2x I think people should open with this is financial advice if it is and say nothing if it’s not. Just have everyone assume that it isn’t financial advice unless otherwise stated.

What happens when someone forgets to say "not financial advice"?

@ICannot_Enough Longer history of taking and paying back loans.

Will someone kindly explain how BMW has a credit rating above Tesla? Bonus points if your explanation doesn’t include the words incompetence or corruption. Make Agencies Rate Again $TSLA

@DirtyTesLa I never trust pictures of prompts with answers because the conversation before hand influences the answer that is given.

@SawyerMerritt People who want knobs and stocks.

Today I checked out Honda’s first all-electric mass market EV, the Prologue. Despite launching in the U.S. just this past April, it’s already the 5th bestselling EV in the country (12,644 units in Q3), and it looks like it’ll overtake the Ford Mach-E soon. First impressions: • Build quality: It’s good, really good. • Design: The exterior is ok, but the interior isn’t great. The infotainment display looks like it has graphic design from 25 years ago. • Safety: This is a biggie. The IIHS did not give the Prologue a Top Safety Pick+ or a standard Top Safety Pick rating because it didn’t perform well enough on the small overlap front test, headlights, and front crash prevention (pedestrian). It also didn’t score well in rear passenger safety because the dummy’s head barely contacted the right side of the frontal airbag before moving into the gap between the frontal and side curtain airbags, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. Not good. Meanwhile, The Model Y is one of the safest vehicles the IIHS has ever tested, so it gets a Top Safety Pick+ rating. • Size: It feels big. It’s 5” longer than a Model Y but 4” shorter than a Model X. You feel like you’re driving a pretty big vehicle when sitting in the driver seat. The cargo area feels kinda small considering the overall size of the vehicle though. There is no frunk whatsoever. • Price: It starts at $47k, but qualifies for the full $7,500 EV credit, bringing it down to ~$40k. This one I looked at is the top of the range $60k Elite trim. • Range: EPA range tops out at 296 miles for the FWD models, and 281 for AWD. Could be better, but not terrible. • Charging: It tops out at 155kW, which is not good. Honda EVs also don’t have access to Tesla’s full Supercharger network yet. • Value: I don’t understand why anyone would want the Prologue over a Tesla Model Y. A Long Range RWD Model Y starts at $37,490 (including $7,500 EV credit) and you get 337 miles of EPA range, 41 more miles than the Prologue. The Prologue really has no self-driving features. The Model Y is also more American made vehicle, with 70% of its parts coming from the U.S./Canada. The Prologue is a Model Y competitor, but it falls short on so many things that the Model Y delivers on. Do your family’s safety a favor and get the Model Y. There’s a reason it’s the bestselling car in the world, Europe and soon to be the U.S.

@MZHemingway @elonmusk If you are a garbage Nazi, that’s not so bad, if you are Nazi garbage, again not so bad.
