Chaos is part of life. Find the calm in it.
Question things. Learn things. Laugh at things.

@nypost Interesting watching the replies turn this into an immigration or political argument.
Remove the label for a moment. If a different person did the exact same thing, would unlicensed driving still be dangerous?
If yes, that's a problem worth solving too.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@nypost A baby is dead. That's the tragedy.

But unlicensed driving isn't unique to immigrants. NHTSA data show 8,783 drivers in fatal crashes in 2024 lacked a valid license about 1 in 6.

So let's ask the useful question, why was an unlicensed driver driving, and how do we stop it?

@TheMisterTurtle I spend all day worrying about AI, surveillance, food prices and geopolitics.

Meanwhile this man has apparently solved life with a kiddie pool, a barbecue and some rubber ducks.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong. 😂

@sentdefender The underlying story is real, but details matter. NBC reported four members of its team were injured, not eight. Israeli authorities also acknowledged violence in the area, and Netanyahu condemned the attackers. This is serious enough without making the numbers bigger.

@pubity And before anyone turns this into “Bernie wants to ban AI,” look up the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act he introduced in June. His position is much more complicated than that. He wants the public to share in AI-created wealth. Read the proposal and decide what you think.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@pubity Flock shouldn't be partisan, & this isn't about banning AI. Sanders wants limits on AI mass surveillance while Republicans have raised privacy concerns too. The real question isn't left vs right or AI vs no AI. Its what surveillance powers we allow and what safeguards protect us.

@ShaykhSulaiman War isn't a sporting event. There are human beings on every side who didn't choose this and just want to live their lives.

Military targets can be debated. Governments can be condemned. But cheering explosions and turning war into entertainment should concern all of us.

@Senpaisaysbye Small correction: credit scoring existed before 1989. But you may have found a better rabbit hole. Research how FICO became embedded in lending and housing, who made those decisions and why. This one is worth digging into.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

Before we blame farmers or corporations, maybe we should evaluate ourselves too. We expect abundant food, available year round, at prices we can afford. That demand shapes how food is produced. If we don't like the result, what are we willing to change?

I had no idea

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@cremieuxrecueil This is fascinating. Now try the same political question a few different ways. Ask for an immediate answer, then ask the AI to reason through it, challenge its first answer, and consider the strongest opposing case. Watch what changes. That may tell us even more about AI bias.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@GroganLcsw @Polymarket 😂 And THAT is exactly what I was talking about. Beef got so expensive that when someone finally offers it cheap, our first reaction isn't “great deal!” It's “okay...what's wrong with it?” Trust has become part of the price.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@WallStreetApes This may qualify for the Olympic triple jump. 😂

Halal meat → liberals → Sharia law?

Want clearer labeling? Fair conversation. Want to debate animal welfare or slaughter practices? Fair conversation.

But why turn a grocery choice into another left-vs-right fear campaign?

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@Gigapeace4 The “600,000 jobs in 2–4 weeks” claim needs a reality check. This rule hasn’t even been published, and 600,000 work authorizations would not equal 600,000 job openings anyway.

Debate H-4 EAD policy all you want. But hold policymakers accountable, not people.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@AndrewYang There’s already a bill worth looking at Bernie Sanders’ American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. It would give the public ownership in major AI companies and use the gains to benefit Americans.

Andrew, how does your proposal differ? Do you support it?

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@GOP__Ls Take the politics out of this. The important part isn't whether this officer was left or right. He improperly used Flock to search his ex's plate. That's the real surveillance question what safeguards stop someone with access from using that power against you?

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@NewsWire_US The ruling may be legally narrower than the headline. But the bigger question remains what happens when AI can normalize or endlessly generate material society considers profoundly harmful, even when no real person was used to create the image? That's a conversation worth having.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@BernieSanders Tempe, Arizona is ending Flock. Good. But ending Flock ≠ ending AI surveillance.

Tempe still operates a Real Time Operations Center connected to hundreds of cameras. And Sanders proposed public ownership of major AI companies.

So what exactly are we ending?

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@ShaykhSulaiman Small but important piece of context: Hamas does operate in the West Bank. The reported target in Jenin, Qais Bitawi, was identified as a Hamas operative, and Hamas confirmed he was a member.
That doesn’t settle the larger debate. But it belongs in it.

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@culturaliteral1 And somehow every election we're shocked the machine only has two buttons. 😂

[CalmChaos @Calmchaosnow]

@Polymarket And now we can spend the day arguing about who made a magazine list instead of talking about what AI is actually changing. 😂

Carry on, internet.
