Luv books, music, guitar, & well built charcuterie boards. I have an expensive synthesizer cuz I play it & I think it makes me sound smart when I talk bout it.

A Black man and a Middle Eastern man changed my life.
The great Thomas Sowell - and the man from Nazareth, Jesus Christ.

I love that - and I love them.

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 He’ll be at Bojangles in time for lunch tomorrow.

@0xSero @WeAreLaughin Awesome!

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@iAmHenryMascot @elonmusk Well no actually - he didn’t lose.
And anyone paying attention doesn’t need Elon to tell them that those guys should not be trusted. That’d be common sense at this point for any discerning individual.
“Can’t trust OpenAI” is like saying the sun is hot these days.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@klazizpro @ns123abc Your perspective can only be explained by one of two reasons: you are completely unaware of OpenAI, or you work there.
There are no other logical explanations.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@net_termina That is a work of art Killy. You are an artist.
Nice.
Real nice.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@morganlinton Beautiful trail. Good luck!

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

These reads make me either smile or laugh out loud - every time.

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

@JohnClaye24941 @all90saltrock Soundgarden was incredible.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

Wow.
I’ve used them all over the last few months - but consistently end back on Deepseek.
Anything with dollars attached to it I’ve continued running back checks through Fable, but it’s usually simple points of clarification and seldom anything significant.
Appreciate your work Morgan.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@SenRandPaul @LifeWarrior100 🤣😂 lol

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@morganlinton Agreed Morgan.
I've worked in LA, SD, SF, NYC, DC, Austin, and many other cities over the last 20 years. Albeit great projects and great experience, I'd never trade it for blue water, birds singing, and fresh air. Have a great day.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@DippityToo @HedgieMarkets Give me one example of this in recent history please.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@0x6080 @USWREMichael @SarahKHeck @AnthropicAI @DeptofWar I’m not going to excuse Moonshot’s behavior. Nor will I explain what’s wrong with Anthropic’s if you don’t already perceive it yourself Sir.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@0x6080 @USWREMichael @SarahKHeck @AnthropicAI @DeptofWar You seem to have a fairly good understanding of AI, but somehow have no understanding of what Anthropic has been doing the last few months.
That’s odd.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@0x6080 @USWREMichael @SarahKHeck @AnthropicAI @DeptofWar I'd agree. That said, hate this admin as much as you want, but anyone paying attention to what Anthropic is attempting to do to open source knows they are 100% in the wrong here. Not to mention OpenAI made the initial issue irrelevant.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@0x6080 @USWREMichael @SarahKHeck @AnthropicAI @DeptofWar Catch up Philip- that’s not the issue here.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@Gabe4_Christ Fight the good fight good Sir!

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@morganlinton @VulcanBench I’m interested in this Morgan - thank you.
I tested it for a week and found it to be highly capable and better than expected. It burned through tokens though which surprised me.
I’ll look forward to seeing your results after running it through the Vulcan gauntlet.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@morganlinton Well…. That’s awesome.

[Sailor Ripley @Wild_At_Heart_4]

@iamgingertrash @USWREMichael @deanwball You speak facts. One could say arguably they’ve done more of a disservice than help.
