Irrelevant thoughts and terrible advice. I like science, cars, food, cricket and golf. Work in Oil day to day.

Former Ferrari chairman Montezemolo tears the new electric Ferrari “Luce” apart:

“I cannot say what I really think: I would harm Ferrari. We risk the destruction of a legend. So sorry. Take the Prancing Horse off. At least the Chinese won’t copy this car”

这段马斯克 2003 年在斯坦福的 45 分钟闭门演讲，真的有点东西。
不是那种空话连篇的创业鸡汤。
而是他亲自把“怎么从 0 搞出一家公司”一层层拆给你看。
更狠的是，
他没在讲概念，直接把自己当时手里那三家公司，到底怎么活下来的，整个过程都摊开了。
这种内容放到今天看都不过时。

很多人听完的反应都很统一：
这 45 分钟，顶得上你翻十本创业书。
那种真正能用的干货，往往就藏在这种老素材里，不吵不闹，但句句都是实战。

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Hi Gary, sorry to keep ratioing you, and I suspect I will do it again.

I only had to listen to 29 seconds to put this together because you revealed yourself by calling Reform the "far-right party". Perhaps after 29 seconds there is some sense in there, maybe I'll come back to it, anyway....

Let me first say, I am not a huge fan of Reform, but I am also not a fan of branding everything you dislike as far-right.

Far-right politics, historically, means authoritarianism, racial supremacy, political violence, suppression of opposition and/or rejection of democracy itself. Agreed?

So Reform then, well they support elections, free speech, lower taxes, border control and reducing the size of the state. You can dislike those ideas all you want, but they are mainstream positions held by millions of voters across democratic countries.

Ironically Gary, or perhaps not, but parts of the modern far-left openly flirt with some of what you have branded:
- Censorship and deplatforming
- Punishing dissent
- Political intimidation
- Opponents as morally illegitimate (what you are doing here lad)
- Expanding state control

You can see this in support for speech laws, attempts to silence academics and journalists, aggressive cancellation campaigns and the belief that certain views should be excluded from public debate entirely.

Please stop this stunted intellectual crusade, it is embarrassing. We know the agenda, you just want to expand the state, give more control to incompetency and loot the voters.

Init.

🚨🇷🇺Chaos in Moscow as a group of Russians robbed a jewelry store after losing their jobs due to the EU’s latest sanctions.

Of course, I’m joking - this is Starmers UK, where posting this video could get you banned from entering the country.

[Dominik Tarczyński MEP @D_Tarczynski]

This is what communism looks like in the 21st century. I have just been denied entry to the UK in order to speak at the largest patriotic event in Europe.

Starmer will be sued by me. Not the government, not the Home Office but Starmer personally. Once you lose the next election, communist, we’ll meet in court!
Tommy @TRobinsonNewEra , this communist cannot silence millions, nor can he take away their right to vote!

@UVoltmi You fought wars to stop an oppressor being in charge. You already have one putting people in prison for tweets. Your streets are overrun with undocumented people. Rape gang headlines are shushed by the media. You already live under the oppressors but haven’t realised it yet lol

🚨NEWS: Norway has begun RE-OPENING North Sea Oil sites to meet growing demand from the UK

In case you weren't aware of just how stupid the UK Government is, they are BLOCKING permits to drill while PAYING Norway to drill oil from the North Sea instead

We are led by clowns
