@0xAIlabs I have not seen the mechanism or the process by which this money goes into every account. Is this through taxation? Is this through benevolence by the automatons? There are some serious implications of this spectrum of processes.
@cohler Interesting list. The 10x deaths due to cold may be correct, but study I am aware of says 7x. Therefore I cannot use this information. It’s too important that all facts are supported by data. The climate change misrepresentations cannot be countered by other misrepresentations
@MattWalshBlog Social media, including X, are not a vehicle for constructive dialogue. Studies since the 1950’s have shown that real dialogue is best done by face-to-face discussions. Social media encourages passive aggression…and here I am participating …QED
@mchooyah@USNavy I lived on C rations and LRRP’s for 10 days at a time. Five months without a warm shower because it was always used up by the time us grunts got there. It’s becoming increasingly apparent WWIII has been fought and we lost.
This point does not clarify that China’s ACTUAL energy comes from COAL. China installed more COAL than the rest of the world combined. The design life of a coal plant is 35 years; many operate for 60 years. China AI is powered by COAL, not solar or wind
4) China will far exceed the rest of the world in AI compute
Elon says China is running circles around the US on energy. They added 500 terawatt-hours last year, 70% of it solar.
Energy is the foundation of compute. China is scaling it faster than anyone.
He’s joking but some people believe this—
China has rapid population decline AND rising emissions!
In fact there’s no relationship between population and emissions!
A German fan said it best:
“If you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive through it.”
Over 3.6 million fans packed stadiums for the World Cup, breaking attendance records. Millions came from every corner of the globe and experienced what the headlines never show: welcoming people, incredible hospitality, and a country unlike any other.
The media sells outrage. America sells itself.
@mrddmia@JamieGlazov I’m finding that people of all stripes, some who agree with others who I do not, cannot properly use the English language but resort to using the F-word. It’s a travesty. I wish X would scrub all posts to me that contain this insanity.
So … all assets should be taxed, including 401k’s, anything that appreciates … paintings, art work …. Sounds like the Hillary Clinton proposal. This is an excellent way to move in the direction of no single family homes. A real step forward in new ways to transfer wealth.
She is 71. Suppose she remains in that house until age 91. That's 20 years. Suppose she decides to pay 100% of her taxes out of a reverse mortgage against her equity.
Assuming she has $2.9 million in equity at age 71, 6% interest on loan, and 4% annual growth in home value and taxes (consistent with last 22 years), at age 91 she will have:
a home worth $6.3 million
a mortgage worth $1.3 million
her heirs can inherit the house, sell it, pay the tax bill, and walk away with $5 million in cash (less income tax implications)
In what world is this lady being treated horribly?!?!? She is objectively massively wealthy and she will never have to pay a single dime of that property tax from her actual income or savings!
@realMaalouf Your language: the use of the “F-word” is a turn off and shows you have resorted to misuse of the English language and your lack of other more appropriate words.
The reality is: if Joshua Jefferson doesn’t get hurt against Tennessee State, Iowa State makes the Elite 8 and Milan Momcilovic likely never enters the transfer portal 😭
@TopTierCyclones explains how the J Jeff injury changed everything 👇🏻
