"Of course that's your contention. You're a 2017 bull run pleb. You just got finished reading some essays on blockchain technology, Antonopolous probably. You're gonna be convinced of that until next month when you get to Safidean Ammous,

@jeremykauffman Money to Israel is a slightly more direct path to killing people.

@Mappy6984 Including down payment and interest, he will end up paying nearly $100,000 for this car, not including maintenance.

Folks, save up some cash, you can buy a nice (but not fancy) used car that will be very reliable for $10-20k.

This basically sounds like what they want to do to us.

this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol

a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion

and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:

every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone

instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS

when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.

it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall

the cows learn the cues in a few days

so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate

and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.

it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field

so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol

and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm

it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.

they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly

it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.

California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires

costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month

a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone

@eval_hub Imagine bringing your kid to talk with Ellen the Degenerate and have everyone laugh at your complaints about public school prison.

@NobodymrRobert This is why everyone should own a minimum of 2 chainsaws - sometimes you need a chainsaw to unstick your chainsaw.

@JeffBezos This wouldn't have anything to do with you wanting people to have more disposable income to spend at a certain online retail giant, would it?

@RedWavePress "That's $1000 a month that could help with rent, or groceries, or anything..."

In case you don't get it, "Anything" = china-made junk on Amazon.

[Book of Nick @BookofNick]

Translation: I want them to have more money so they can spend it on Amazon.

NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”

“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”

“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”

“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”

“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”

“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”

“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”

Exactly!

"Deadass" is deadass the absolute worst colloquial slang that gen Z has ever produced, and it's not even close.

@tatumturnup Looks like China.

The crowd is silent because if they laugh or react in any way, their social credit score goes down.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

@YellowSubm45706 @RepKeithAmmon There are already some cashless tolls in NH.

[Book of Nick @BookofNick]

@RepKeithAmmon Better than NYC - if your pay-by-mail toll isn't paid within 30 days, you get a $50 violation. Toll was $5? Pay $55.

We keep the small accounts small, but periodically boost one of their posts so they think they have a chance. Give them the option for a blue check, but don't boosts their posts - just their replies. Incentivise them to engage the big money accounts. Nice. Now we deboost all their posts - give them zero engagement going forward.

Fewer creators, more consumers. Activate the endless scroll. Now fill their feed with fighting and softcore porn and sell them boner pills....now.
