@ciphergoth while it may be a tiktok trend that may not be the best way to communicate your issues with AI. Even Roko pointed out it was overly vague and these worries could be applied to literally anything that is change. I would suggest these sort of videos and attempt dilute the message

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Just the most patronizing I’m smarter fucking bullshit out of this worthless cult. Is Ai dangerous maybe but as long as these fuckers are the voice behind the call for safety we are all fucked

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Yes let’s allow the government restricted access to this. Seems like a great idea….because it’s reliable. Fucking moron

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Except there is literally no data to support it does that AND you are crafting a surveillance state. Just the simplest of minds

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Yea and only “low human capital” would have supported this and not see it coming….maybe we should just let this guy vanish……

Congratulations to the MAHA movement.

2025 now has more measles cases in the US than any year since 1992. And we're only in July!

The disease was declared eradicated in the US in 2000.

This is why you do not give Low Human Capital power or let it have influence over society.

And CEOs are what? I’m begging democrats. Fuck this guy and anyone that talks like him

[Nicholas Decker @captgouda24]

I yearn for liberals to overcome their infatuation with unions and “solidarity” and see them for what they are — a grubby, grasping, pack of scoundrels out for nothing but themselves, the public be d-d.

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Or like any one with half a brain cell. Two ego maniac children getting in a fight?? Nooooo. You don’t say

False! Democratic voters punish when the party moves too much to the “middle” see Hillary and Kamala vs Obama and Biden

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

"The Democratic party" and "the progressive movement" are two very different things, with limited degrees of control over each other

BUT

Voters will pretty much always punish the Democratic party when they're mad at the progressive movement.

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

adopting somewhat more conservative policy positions will "fix" it in the sense the party will die off and Matty will get that sweet sweet Conservative hellscape of his dreams

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Who exactly? And name these so called
Policies. This is just to highlight your shitty takes on substack. Can you just do a why I left the left and go full grifter

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Bold of you to admit you are an idiot. They literally told you what they were going to do. Jesus

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Vox on me regretting my Trump vote. I thought that the Tech Right would be a balance to the stupidity of MAGA, but Musk is just as bad, and relatively powerless on tariffs, where he could do good. I made my case for Trump based on growth, and instead we're getting Maoism.

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

Actually it’s that he’s an idiot with some really bad ideas that keeps the left progressing forward

[Cody Johnston @drmistercody]

I can't believe Tim Walz is rooting for an American company to fail, something that I, a modern American conservative on X The Everything App, have never done.

[Matthew Drew @G33KMatt]

She had several prominent republicans campaign for her. Pushing more to the center is historically a losing idea. You aren’t getting “centrist” to vote. You energize your BASE

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.

I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.

I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void.

Just the dumbest fucking take. Don’t criticize power. Stand in awe no matter what scummy bullshit they are up to. This is why we can’t have nice things

This is the article in English that Elon submitted that was translated and published in German.

Only the AfD Can Save Germany

Germany stands at a critical juncture, its future teetering on the edge of economic and cultural collapse. As someone who has invested significantly in Germany's industrial and technological landscape, I believe I have earned the right to speak candidly about its political direction.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) represents the last vestige of hope for this nation. Here's why:

Economic Revival:

Germany's economy, once the powerhouse of Europe, is now mired in bureaucracy and stifling regulations. The AfD understands that economic freedom is not just desirable but necessary. Their approach to reducing government overreach, cutting taxes, and deregulating the market echoes the principles that have made Tesla and SpaceX successful. If Germany is to reclaim its industrial might, it needs a party that will not just talk about growth but enact policies to foster an environment where businesses can thrive without the heavy hand of government.

Immigration and National Identity:

Germany has opened its borders to mass migration, which, while humanitarian in intent, has led to significant cultural and social tensions. The AfD advocates for a controlled immigration policy that prioritizes integration and the preservation of German culture and security. This is not about xenophobia but about ensuring that Germany does not lose its identity in the quest for globalism. A nation must maintain its core values and cultural heritage to remain strong and united.

Energy and Independence:

The energy policies pushed by current coalitions are not only economically costly but also geopolitically naive. Germany's decision to phase out nuclear power and rely heavily on coal and imported gas, plus highly variable wind and solar without the necessary grid-scale batteries to provide stability, has left it vulnerable, especially in light of energy supply disruptions. The AfD's stance on energy is pragmatic, advocating for a balanced approach. I hope they consider doubling down on safe nuclear power, together with battery energy storage to buffer large swings in electricity usage, as that is the obvious solution.

Political Realism:

The traditional parties have failed Germany. Their policies have led to economic stagnation, social unrest, and a dilution of national identity. The AfD, despite being labeled far-right, offers a political realism that resonates with many Germans who feel their concerns are ignored by the establishment. They address the issues at hand without the political correctness that often masks the truth.

The description of AfD as far-right is made obviously false simply by noting that Alice Weidel, the party leader has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please.

Innovation and the Future:

I've built companies on the principle that innovation requires freedom from unnecessary constraints. The AfD's vision aligns with this ethos. They push for educational reforms that encourage critical thinking over indoctrination and support tech industries which are the future of global economic leadership.

To those who decry the AfD as extremist, I say, look beyond the labels. Look at the policies, the economic plans, and the cultural preservation efforts. Germany needs a party that isn't afraid to challenge the status quo, that isn't bogged down by the politics of the past.

The AfD can save Germany from becoming a shadow of its former self. It can steer the country towards a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity, and technological innovation are not just aspirations but realities. Germany has been too comfortable with mediocrity; it's time for bold changes, and the AfD is the only party offering that path.

I wonder if the slower pace has something to do with more safety........almost is if move fast BREAK shit is not the best idea..........

[Felix Gatfield @FelixGatfield]

No one should get hurt while working, but I have some thoughts on this article.

"In 2022, the Brownsville, Texas facility reported 4.8 injuries per 100. [...] Aerospace industry average is 0.8 injuries per 100 "

SpaceX is moving so much faster than any other company. They launch, recover, build, and test so much more than any other aerospace company, so naturally, injuries would be higher.
