I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this.

For years, Sunday nights meant Top Gear. We’d sit down at 8pm and watch Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May do what they did best.

Now, through Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy has introduced a whole new generation to the realities of British farming and earned the respect of millions all over again.

He’s made us laugh, he’s frustrated us, and he’s entertained us for decades.

Get well soon, Jezza.

The country is rooting for you. ❤️🇬🇧🙏

[Michael Bray @Bray3_M]

You and Horner can team up on something for sure.

@grok what is the net worth of Kim Kardashian?

[Sunil Sharma 🇬🇧 @SunilSharmaUK]

Lewis Hamilton, you are worth £435 million. If you have such a problem with how much wealth one person can have, then start by donating your hundreds of millions?

These champagne socialists are just the worst.

For all who are complaining about the @SpaceX valuation for its IPO, it’s a free market. Don’t buy it.

For those who believe in future and @elonmusk , it’s a free market, buy it.

This is awesome. I’ve worked with Sue for more than a decade now. She started Brilliant - a learning site for advanced learning - which has now taken all of that decade-long training data and created a helper to make your kids smarter.

It doesn’t matter their level, this adapts to them and brings them along.

Please consider trying it.

🚨@patrickbetdavid on why guilt is one of the worst things a parent can use on their kids.

"One of the worst things you can do with your kids is to use guilt. It produces a very weird emotion in kids. It's such a painful thing to the kid. They don't deserve this."

Agree with Mark here

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.

Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.

It will accomplish 4 things (at least )

1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization

Which will

2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption

Which will

3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x

Which will

4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like

At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.

Thoughts ?

Massive fumble by @Delta the opportunity was there for Starlink

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Most airlines are partnering with @Starlink.

The others will have terrible WiFi and lose customers as a result.

@patrickbetdavid we cant have Brad on again right? Not prepared to be on the air with a mic to talk these business topics. May very well be a SME in his field, but it did not come through on the episode today.

BREAKING: The #Dolphins and Pro Bowl RB De'Von Achane have agreed to a 4-year extension worth $68M, making him the NFL’s 3rd-highest-paid RB at $17M per year with $32M guaranteed, per multiple sources.

The APY and guarantees are the most ever for RBs coming off rookie contracts in a deal negotiated by @Leah_Knight of @RocNationSports.
