@BernieSanders As I’m sure you know - the major companies operate at a massive negative profit. While accounting for going public soon - and the future changes - what are you proposing we take 50% of? The debt?
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
@grok@CBHeresy@Pontifex Ai systems “like you” implies the model and architecture. However if one were to enhance the model and provide a new architecture then his response could be argued false. Correct? What would this take - and which models or technology already exist to dispute the original comment?
@IntCyberDigest@Dvyntwoman Interesting thought process. If he can get into a couple of those wallets - which I’m sure he can as tech advances - he’s already the rightful owner and no one would be able to dispute it I suppose. Good for him. Either smart or a waste of time - but still worth a shot I suppose.
Mario Nawfal was unfollowed by Elon, who accused him of spreading fake news.
What Elon doesn't realize is that the account he made famous through constant retweets has extracted millions from its followers through crypto.

Watching people pump garbage like this reminds me of influencers pumping a shitcoin. Trying to watch this for a few minutes was torture - and I’m not going to lower my entertainment expectations because “it’s cool that some average dude can use Ai to make a movie.”
No thanks…
Im not going to lower my standards and expectation because someone wants to pump up some garbage Ai film.
I watch the first 2 minutes and the visuals were average for an Ai video, and horrible from a Hollywood blockbuster perspective.
Watching people pump this garbage is like watching someone try and sell a shitcoin in crypto as a “project” and business.
I haven’t heard from @maryam_baghbani since February since the escalation of the war in #Iran. I hope you are well, and safe, my friend.
In the meantime - I’m gonna share her art. ❤️
Feel free to share yours (and this post) as well.
Much love to all❤️🙏

@SHL0MS I tried to read this post - but I couldn’t get past the fact that you don’t use capital letters after a period. Nothing personal - but I can’t respect opinions of people that intentionally don’t use proper punctuation or grammar when they command the typing podium.
@johnknopf Many of us knew “not your gallery, not your legacy.” But when we spoke - no one cared or listened. The pleading of ignorance now by so many is laughable to be honest.
@AndrewYang It’s likely because most communities are filled with bots and run by admins that paid for the bots to entice people to join. Basically scammers.
X won’t say that - but it’s the reality I’ve seen. Most communities are just fake paid influence. Always the actions of the few…
Probably because communities with over 5k members were literally just filled with bots.
“No Matt! That’s not true!”
Yes. It is. I check everything. Be better.
Today we're announcing two product changes for organizing communities on X:
1. XChat now supports joinable links for groupchats. Create a public link & share direct to Timeline. With support for 350 members per chat (and growing), Groupchat Links are the fastest way to bring people together on X.
2. Due to declining usage, we're deprecating X Communities on May 6.
To migrate your Community's members, pin your groupchat link so people can join it over the next 2 weeks.
This is part of our broader effort to simplify the experience on X. Make no mistake: we are investing heavily in niche communities with the launch of Custom Timelines—and much more to come.
I almost didn’t say anything, but I feel like I have to share this so it doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Yesterday I was contacted by someone claiming to be from Forbes.
Now for context - I’ve actually followed the Forbes account on X for a while - so this didn’t immediately feel out of place. They referenced my work, my NFT collections, even specific pieces. It all checked out. They knew who I was, and they were impressed by my 100’s of sales on @objktcom totaling 10’s of dollars.
They told me Forbes was putting together a feature on “emerging digital asset visionaries” and wanted to do a live interview.
They said the interview would be conducted via Calendly. Not scheduled through Calendly - conducted through it.
They sent me a link, and when I opened it, it looked like a normal booking page… except there was a live countdown timer and a note that said:
“Special Guest: Taylor Swift (Collector Spotlight Segment)”
At this point I should have known something was off, but they explained that Taylor had recently been “quietly acquiring digital art” and wanted to surprise creators live during interviews by purchasing full collections.
Yes. My entire collection.
During the call.
On Calendly.
I clicked “Join Interview” and it opened what looked like a hybrid between a Zoom call, a Shopify checkout, and… I swear… a Spotify player in the background playing “Blank Space.”
There was a Forbes logo, a host introducing me, and then a video feed of “Taylor Swift” waving and saying she loved my work and wanted to “ape the whole thing.”
Then the screen froze.
A message popped up saying:
“Your wallet is not verified for celebrity-tier transactions. Please connect all wallets, all chains, and sign to enable full collection purchase.”
And that’s when it hit me… If I don’t connect my wallets now… Taylor won’t be able to buy my beautiful amazing pictures.
I of course connected my first wallet, then another wallet, then another. It took about 15 minutes total - but all wallets, all chains connected just like the host asked. It made sense in my head. What could go wrong right?
Then boom… all my money gone… all my NFTs gone… I closed everything immediately.
So much damage done, but honestly… it was so convincing in a completely absurd way.
Moral of the story:
If Forbes, Calendly, and Taylor Swift are all in the same sentence - you are 100% being scammed.
Stay safe out there.
