@brycent While I have my issues with the capitalist mindset, I am glad that you're not one of those delusional Elon glazers cuz I really love your content, so I hope you keep making great stuff.
Viral ‘dopamine sites’ are letting users shop without actually spending money
The sites feature nonexistent products, reviews, and promotions, and let users checkout and track their “courier” all without actually buying anything
The Court of Appeal in London has ruled that the protest group Palestine Action was lawfully banned as a terrorist group.
The British High Court had previously ruled that it was unlawful.

Hey there visitor👋🏾
I am making this post to basically showcase the projects I am working on.
The first project that I am working on is https://t.co/DL1GeFLHJF, it is more of a fun project where I ship people's fun ideas, kind of like neal[.]fun but less fun
@CiaraACade@martinmrmar Kevin Sorbo has always been a dickhead and looking at this Martin guy's profile I am not surprised that he quote tweeted that. A lot of his posts are full Islamophobia and racism.
You're stronger than me cuz I would have probably just unfollowed.
Jeff Bezos just came out of retirement. His first CEO role since leaving Amazon. And he's building something nobody expected. 🤯
It's called Prometheus. $12 billion raised. $41 billion valuation. Backed by JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Bezos himself.
150 employees. $273 million per person. That's how much investors are betting on this.
But here's what makes it different from every other AI company.
Prometheus isn't building another chatbot. It's not generating text or
images.
It's building what Bezos calls an "artificial general engineer" AI that designs jet engines, optimizes manufacturing, and prototypes physical products.
LLMs learned from the internet's text. Prometheus is learning from the physical world physics, simulations, engineering data, manufacturing processes.
In Bezos' own words: "Something that takes 100 engineers 10 years to build we want to make that 10 engineers, one year."
His co-CEO is Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive who worked with Sergey Brin on what became Waymo.
No ties to Amazon. No ties to Blue Origin. Bezos said "it deserves a dedicated team obsessed with this one thing."
While everyone is racing to build the best AI for words, Bezos is quietly building AI for the physical world.
That might be the bigger bet.
JEFF BEZOS JUST EMERGED FROM STEALTH WITH A $41 BILLION AI STARTUP CALLED PROMETHEUS
$12 billion raised. Valued at $41 billion. Coming out of stealth today.
The backers: Bezos personally, JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, DST Global, and Arch Venture Partners.
The mission: do for engineering and manufacturing what large language models did for text.
Bezos is calling it an "artificial general engineer." Instead of training on words from the internet, Prometheus ingests data from the physical world to accelerate the manufacturing of skyscrapers, smartphones, jet engines, and everything in between.
In Bezos' own words: "Something that today was going to take 100 engineers 10 years to build, if you can change that to taking 10 engineers one year to build, you're just going to get way more things built."
This is Bezos' first CEO role since stepping down from Amazon in 2021. He's co-leading it with Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive.
