@collinsworth55 I like sunlight later in that day. So DST.

@PossiblyOtter @Asap_Cody_ @TomCottonAR What!!!!!? How have you pulled this off for so long?

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

I have mine set to remember. It’s useful to me. So it recalls all sorts of things I’ve told it before.

If you’re saying you’ve adjusted your privacy settings and it’s not working…prove it. Because I don’t believe it and I’m sure the X team would be interested as well because they could try to fix it.

But, I’m assuming your deflection is an indication the you’re lying? Or you can’t prove it? Which in that case your claim is meaningless.

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

@DonatoDiorio @historianseldon @skiffprivacy Prove it

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

Literally never use copilot…even though we have it. Have not found any good use case for it. What does it do well?

Also, what is the market share of Gemini vs GPT vs Claude vs Grok? And who is growing vs shrinking? I feel like that’s a strong indicator of the product quality.

And…does any company have a plan to reduce the compute cost of AI? I’m seeing everyone restrict usage (ie, the cost is not worth it). If we follow that model it may simply lead to inflation of all services (healthcare, hospitality, travel, etc.). If we can’t either create a significant amount of value beyond what companies are offering today, or reduce operational overhead in the form of human capital, AI may not be worth it yet. So I’m very curious if ANYONE has a plan to reduce the cost to run all this. (I’ve heard of some Elon guy that has a real idea?)

Agreed (and…duh?)

My point wasn’t about what we are all paying in and should be benefiting from.

My point is that clearly the financial structure of the program is flawed. The pot of money is being consumed faster than it’s being filled.

Hypothetically, you are correct. We should be putting our own money in that pays out in retirement. However, the amount of money people withdraw is generally greater than what they put in. So, you end up with the next generation of workers backfilling the gap of the current generation of retirees.

If these guys (the government) increase the taxes for SS, it will inevitably lead to lower paychecks for those working, and an insolvent SS program still. It won’t fix the problem. They don’t have enough money to fund the payouts everyone is “owed”

My point about retirement is just a tangent to this problem. We establish SS as this guaranteed savings plan. But it has reached insolvency. And…in reality, the idea that a social program like SS is even necessary is ridiculous to me. Nobody is entitled to a government backed savings plan. Because, that essentially means it is a taxed backed savings plan. Yes, we should all be paying into it and it should work as planned “on paper”…but we don’t all pay the same nor do we benefit the same.

My argument is…get rid of it entirely. Could you imagine if everyone just got an immediate take home pay raise and could do whatever they want with it? And they can choose to plan for retirement if they wish and put it in an index fund and be MUCH better off than what SS is paying out, or they can use it and just keep working later into their lives. It’s their choice. This gives every person the freedom to just plan life and retirement as they wish and as they earn.

If Starlink direct to cell becomes ubiquitous, do we still need a Starlink dish for homes, planes, etc? @SpaceX

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

You’re right…an ENTITLEMENT is stupid. Nobody is entitled to anything outside of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (according to our countries declaration). And certainly a person who has contributed far less to society AND the SS benefits plan throughout their lifetime, isn’t entitled to more than their actual share of benefits.

SS is in fact a mandated retirement plan (also stupid). This is why every citizen is given a SSN (aka…an account number), and you can go look up your lifetime contributions to your personal benefits plan.

Saying that others are entitled to the benefits that you have paid for in SS, would be the same as saying they’d be entitled to your 401k because they didn’t contribute as much over their lifetime and they “need it”, and by your definition you may have more then you need.

The truly stupid part (in my opinion) is the fact that anyone could take those same contributed dollars they’ve been required to pay into SS and invest it in an index fund and have significantly more money available to them in retirement. SS is a scam at best, and at worst…maybe actual fraud??

@JimmB @berniemoreno @SenWarren I notice you didn’t answer any part of my question(s).

Strong indicator that you may be in the group that wants others to pay for your life. Just a hunch.

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

I feel like it’s worth asking you this.

Do you pay taxes? If so, how much?
Are you willing to just give the government more of your money since you’re so concerned about other people having money they didn’t earn?

Or…are you only ok with having OTHER people, who aren’t you, pay more?

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

@hubermanlab you reposted this? I haven’t seen the whole episode, but 1 recessive gene from 1 person would be statistically impossible to persist. The mutation must have occurred multiple times. At a minimum, two people would have to carry the mutation at any given time and if the mutation wasn’t occurring over and over again, it would eliminate itself eventually.

A more likely explanation is that the genetic replication process has a relatively high chance of making this mutation based on a number of variables.

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

You start by publicly donating your wealth to the poor. When you give 100% of what you’ve accumulated to people that do nothing, and do it before you die (so it should probably be this year?), then we can see how much “good” it does and your example may change all our minds.

If you believe in it so strongly, you go first. Lead by example.

Diamond flyer here…and big fan of delta for many reasons, but @Delta please reconsider this. I fly internationally several times a month a for 6-8 hours of the trip, internet is essentially worthless. I pay for a premium membership with your 3rd party provider and it doesn’t help much. You all know this too. Just get in your own planes and try to maintain an active working session in the cloud on ANY flight. Domestic isn’t much better.

I don’t know what your reasons are/were, but this decision does have me considering alternate carriers (which, for the record, I HATE)

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

How would you like me to provide proof that I’m not lying? BC doesn’t track my trips or provide receipts that provide proof of start and end points.

The best I could do is show the AMEX charge from several years ago. But even if I show that charge would you accept it? Or would you say something like “oh…that must have been for a longer ride”?

If it will suffice for you to not be a dick, then I’ll post it. Otherwise, I feel like you’re just an angry person with no logical arguments. Which…seems to be generally evidenced by name calling and ranting without any significant point or logic.

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

@kat_from_eu @XFreeze Are you an expert in rocket tech? What’s your breakdown of what happened and the flaws of the Raptor?

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

@bc7653 @60Minutes Well. I don’t know what to tell you. My credit card was charged. So regardless of your opinion, I paid that much. The money left my bank account. So…I again believe you are genuine in your responses here and your general logic isn’t lost on me, but that was the reality.

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

@bc7653 @60Minutes That’s how i felt about the price as well. Unfortunate experience somehow?…Maybe. It wasn’t good. That’s the best I can say I suppose.

[GrimHealth @GrimHealth]

I suspect you’re being obtuse on purpose. Or just a general douche. BUT…no…I’ve taken a total number of rides in London as a consumer 100’s of times. Not black cab. I stopped taking black cab after I was charged about £100 for a 1.5 mile trip.

Since then it’s all been Uber.

I would say I’ve rode in black cab as the paying customer maybe 30-40 times, and as a secondary party maybe another 20 or so.

But the experience and pricing was so poor compared to ride share that I stopped using it.

And I noticed your complete deflection of my last question for you after you attempted to say (1) I was trying to become a cab driver, and the (2) went on to tell me how I clearly couldn’t comprehend the black cab driver world…even though I never made any statement that would indicate that I was trying to.

I asked if you’d like to provide some sort of logical argument in support of black cabs compared to ride share. Would you like to provide one? Or would you like to deflect again?
