@VodaPay Thanks, please advise your AI humans in the support for the app. They don't know

[Brian @brianj74]

@VodaPay is the lottery app discontinued?

[Brian @brianj74]

@KennethCassel @ylanrich Happy with the quality and penetration? Not brittle?

[Brian @brianj74]

@datarade The last mile still very messy, especially in the US. Nobody wants to deal with the HOA 🤣

@egr_investor Corporates can't manage that level of subtlety, unfortunately they are blunt instruments when it comes to implementation. And people are stubborn and change resistant....

[Brian @brianj74]

@egr_investor How else do you drive initial adoption?

[Brian @brianj74]

@egr_investor Bookmarked. Will test!

[Brian @brianj74]

@Ringo26 Productive! Good work

[Brian @brianj74]

@girdley Very informative, thank you. Wonder what the pivot will be...

@TheTrueVanguard Stop poking me!

@btnelson @levie @Austen Wandering into the advice space? Keen to connect on this...

@girdley I resemble this post. And I know you're right. But I can't. Just can't

ChatGPT: Alright — bare hands only, 100 men versus one gorilla.
Here’s the most honest breakdown of how they might win — but why it would still be almost impossible:

First Problem: Getting Close
A gorilla can easily kill or cripple a man in one swipe.
It’s fast, low to the ground, and uses its arms like whips to throw or smash.
Anyone charging alone or in small numbers would be taken out instantly.
Result:

The first wave of maybe 10–20 men would get destroyed — slammed, bitten, trampled.
Their broken bodies would likely block others and cause mass panic.
Second Problem: Fear Response
Adrenaline only helps so much.
Humans are naturally terrified when they see that kind of violence up close.
Most of the 100 wouldn’t engage — once they saw the first group shredded, they’d hesitate or run.
Third Problem: Strength Difference
Even if 10+ guys jumped on the gorilla at once, it could probably rip free or drag them around.
A gorilla’s arms are about 4–9× stronger than a human's.
It wouldn't just shake them off — it would launch them.
The Only (Highly Improbable) Way to Win:
Mass sacrifice and swarming.

Imagine 30–40 guys willingly getting killed or horribly injured in the first few seconds — just to slow it down.
Meanwhile, the rest would have to dogpile simultaneously — climbing, locking arms around its limbs, crushing it with sheer body weight.
They would need to immobilize its arms first (deadliest weapons), then its head and jaws.
While dozens are being injured, some could try choking it out (which would take minutes — and the gorilla would be fighting the whole time).
In theory:

If enough men overwhelmed it immediately and accepted mass casualties,
They might be able to smother it with body weight and restrict its breathing long enough for it to pass out or die.
No quick knockout — gorillas are too durable.
It would take horrific losses and perfect coordination, without anyone breaking formation.
Realistic Outcome (bare hands):
80–90% of the men would die or be permanently injured.
Maybe 10–20 survivors — badly hurt, traumatized, but possibly alive.
It would be a bloodbath.
Summary:

Could 100 unarmed men kill a gorilla?
Technically, yes — but only with massive casualties, perfect coordination, no fear, and immediate full sacrifice.
In real life? Highly unlikely. The gorilla almost always wins.

Love this. Wondered about the tech and how it works, but struck by the difference Neuralink can make for humanity. Thank you Brad!

@X when catching up on my timeline, please could I load more tweets 'up' or 'down. At the moment it's only 'up side that extends. Please consider

@RomanCabanac Must be nice and easy to live under a stone and be fed one opinion by msm though.
