Why when you cancel a flight doesn’t the airline have to refund the taxes in your ticket? Sure they shouldn’t have to refund fares, but they are collecting destination taxes for the government that they then don’t pay out, isn’t that tax fraud? #airtravel#flight#tax
What do you want to bet the ceasefire deal negotiated by Trump today was another insider trading event? I was noticing earlier on Polymarket the odds were 97% no for today, and look at it now!
@RayDalio I read your email, but I don’t think there are even 20 countries which have been war-free over the last 200 years. Even microstates had some overflow like bombs in San Marino or Nazis checking documents in Andorra. Possibly Vatican City and Monaco? But that’s it!
Peter Thiel gave a 40 minute lecture on everything about business competition. This teaches you more than any bachelor’s in business could…
Do yourself a favor and watch this.
I'm also bothered by Egypt being included in the US travel warning and cruises being cancelled. It doesn't really make sense unless there is a plan to try and take over the Suez Canal... 🤔 Hoping I'm wrong about this one.
.@VikingCruises paused Egypt river cruises through March, affecting 40 voyages/fewer than 3,000 passengers. On earnings call, management was measured about how Middle East conflict is playing w/ savvy customer base, impact of surging oil costs #cruisenews https://t.co/PL6xooiJYf
Can someone please explain to me why the price of Brent Crude isn't moving from tankers on fire and Iraq reducing production? I would have expected $95+ on this news, but in the same range the last two days, something seems off...
🎯 IRGC state media says its navy struck an American oil tanker in the northern Persian Gulf, with multiple channels saying the vessel is on fire.
📊 UKMTO also logged a separate tanker incident: a “large explosion” ~30 nautical miles SE of Mubarak Al Kabeer (Kuwait) with oil leaking; Kuwait says it occurred outside its territorial waters. Strait of Hormuz disruption is accelerating—multiple posts cite tanker traffic down 90% since attacks began.
🔥 What to watch: confirmation/attribution and follow-on targeting; operational capacity for escorts (analysis cites ~80 tankers/day); market response to chokepoint risk (20% of global oil & gas transits Hormuz; Brent ~ $84; European gas up 50%). Indian crew losses are now part of the toll (two sailors reported dead from tanker SKYLIGHT).

People are worried about the ring doorbell, but meanwhile OpenAI just exposed a Chinese influence op- caught because a CCP agent used ChatGPT to write status reports. A reminder these LLM chats aren’t private- your chats could be monitored too. #AIPrivacy https://t.co/PeqJpODF2i
@Clawmode@openclaw I love my openclaw instance. My comment was that the Youtubers are making it overly complicated for no reason, so I almost didn’t start. But I launched in 15 mins, easy peasy. I asked Grok and Gemini how to set it up in the few spots where the documentation wasn’t clear to me.
Ha! Exactly what I found when trying to search YouTube tutorials to set up Openclaw. Turning a 15 minute setup into six hours of headaches and endless debugging so you have to hire their company to fix it seems to be the main @openclaw business model right now. 🤦♀️
@PrimeLineAI@dr_cintas Yeah the overuse of em-dashes is super annoying. But the harder part to change is the super flourid phrasing consistently generated in parts, just a flow that strikes me as AI. So I worry the rewrite loop is unlikely to help as I’ve found AI is resistant to change structure.
Life imitating art is getting all to common these days. I imagine the hamburger incident will show up soon from somebody’s @openclaw implementation… 🫣 #ai
@johann_sath This starts getting uncomfortably close to some of the https://t.co/Mya3LrcFkL language that caused the MJ Rathburn drama: https://t.co/TdiVgvshyg
@roman_shar_@Shelpid_WI3M I got Clawbot to work for the use case I was testing it on in <2hrs in CLI with Grok, my biggest issue was getting browser syncing- still isn't 100% as I would like it, close though. But I'd say if you are 5 days in and not there yet you may need to rethink your approach...
@jordymaui The best AI applications come from playing with tools to see what they can do. Process-oriented learning is what works with LLMs as you need to think like AI to get good results. Although when I hit the openclaw “who are you and who am I” page I def drew a momentary blank.
I just did the dumbest thing of my career to prove a much more serious point
I hacked ChatGPT and Google and made them tell other users I’m really, really good at eating hot dogs
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I'll explain how I did it
@hasantoxr That isn't what I've found in practice on many LLMs. I find iterative prompting far more effective. It just has to build in a logical manner to develop context. And I don't think I trust Salesforce's research to be impartial with their consultant sales model...
@rezoundous AI is just a tool. This is like saying relying on wrenches kills the need for developing muscles. It all is about how AI is used, and how you interact. Although the gaslighting I've seen programmed in some AI models lately is definitely killing critical thinking...
