@Judaeda3 @Time2Coach I Think you must check your facts what is the current situation. Stop stirring.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) delivered this powerful defense of free speech, which is more relevant than ever in today’s censored world.

Do you agree with him?

Thirty-two years after the fall of apartheid, South Africa is a warning the West refuses to hear.

In this video, @FreyaThinks breaks down how a country that had every opportunity to become a beacon of racial reconciliation descended into corruption, crime, and decline, and why the same ideas driving that collapse are spreading through Western institutions right now.

I had the privilege of meeting @IuliaL27 during her recent visit to South Africa.

Her commentary on developments in South Africa and elsewhere has been spot on. Well researched and presented in a wat that's easy to follow.

Give her a follow!

Masahiro Hara, a Japanese engineer at Denso Wave, invented the QR code in 1994 to track auto parts.

What began in car factories is now a global tool—powering payments, ads, tickets & even pandemic safety.

I really like this 🙂

Kevin O'Leary says he sold his company for $4.2 billion and all 10 founders went back to work because they didn't know what else to do

"I woke up one day and we sold The Learning Company for $4.2 billion, I had founder shares, I wasn't even thinking about that the night before when we were negotiating the deal"

"The 10 of us that were founders, we didn't know anything else except to go back to work… the only difference was we were filthy rich"

Elon gets it.

When he took over Twitter and openly called for people willing to work harder than they ever had in their lives — with an absurdly high bar and an impossibly short timeline — much of the internet lost their minds, screaming sweatshop labor and 1900s chimney sweeping with standing desks.

Chris Williamson cut through the noise perfectly:

There’s a whole cohort of people who come alive when you hand them an obscenely difficult challenge and say “go see what you can manifest.” They get genuine pleasure from grinding hard, from spinning the wheel as fast as it can go. For them, that intensity isn’t burnout — it’s fuel.

One person’s toxic hustle is another person’s perfect environment.

Do you secretly (or openly) thrive when the bar is set ridiculously high and someone expects you to clear it… or do you lean more toward the balanced, holistic work-life approach?

Larry Ellison just asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.

A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.

Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”

One question. No recovery.

Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”

This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?

Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”

They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.

They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.

And they publish it with absolute certainty.

That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.

Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.

His critics operate in a text editor.

He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.

His loudest critics built a byline.

So why the coordinated hatred?

Because they lost the leash.

The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.

They don’t hate the engineer.

They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.

You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.

They own the syntax.

He owns the physics.

One of them is going to Mars.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

[Peché Africa 🇿🇦 @pmcafrica]

They are so well mannered 👏👏

I like the fact that she helped him without taking his dignity away from him. Her actions are so beautiful! 🥰

Wow 😮 a birthday song to remember 🎁 he got her a custom song and she can’t believe it was about HER 🥹 look at the husbands face got me cracking up 😆 That was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🫶🏽 what do u think? 👈

“You’ve got to look at Elon Musk, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can.”

[Aviator Anil Chopra @Chopsyturvey]

Perfect Don Corleone dialogue for what we see happening today.
