This thread is now being down ranked.

Please do your part in retweeting it.

It contains frame by frame analysis from ALL the videos we’ve seen today, showing how ICE murdered this man.

It is important people see the truth! 🫡

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

Sounds like the U.S. in 2026

[Robby Roadsteamer @RobbyRoadsteame]

I am free from ICE in Minnesota!! thank you for all the support!

RIP Renee Nicole Good!💙🦒

Please RT this video so Elon has to pay me TWITTER AD revenue money to support Renee and melt ICE!

[Robby Roadsteamer @RobbyRoadsteame]

Got roughed up and Arrested by 20 ICE Agents in Minnesota today for being Awesome in a Giraffe onesie! Here's the unedited widescreen version!🦒💙

Please RT so Elon has to pay me TWITTER AD revenue money to be awesome around ICE and MAGA!

@RealPostFolder Australia banned semiautomatic assault rifles… not guns completely. After their use at port Arthur, we decided there was no justification for someone to own one of these. You can still easily get access to guns here but you have to be licensed and they must be registered

This is BEYOND insane:

AI compute demand is now growing at over 2 TIMES the rate of Moore’s Law, creating a massive shortage.

Just to meet current demand, $500 billion must be invested in data centers PER YEAR until 2030.

What does this mean? Let us explain.

It’s an absolute travesty that @ChrisLynnHedges has been banned from speaking at the NPC.

The national Press Club barred a man with this kind of esteem from speaking about the plight of journalists.

Let that sink in.

I’ve got bad news.
The AI cycle is over—for now.

I’ve been an unapologetic AI maximalist since the first time I tricked GPT-4 into writing a working Python back-test for a volatility strategy back in early 2023. I’m still convinced it will take the wider economy years—maybe decades—to fully digest the productivity shock we’ve already uncorked. But the curve we’ve been riding just flattened into a long plateau.

The problem isn’t that the models stopped improving. It’s that the improvements we need are measured in orders of magnitude, not percentage points. Every step up the scaling laws now demands a city’s worth of electricity and a sovereign wealth fund’s worth of GPUs. You can still squeeze clever tricks out of mixture-of-experts or chain tiny specialists into something that looks like agency; that keeps the demo videos cinematic. It just doesn’t get us to super-intelligence. For that we need either an architectural miracle (unforecastable by definition) or a civil-engineering miracle (a decade-long sprint to build nuclear plants and 2-nanometer fabs). The first is luck. The second is politics. Both are scarce.

Meanwhile the models we have remain, at their core, next-token roulette wheels. Chain enough spins together and tiny error probabilities compound into existential glitches. In domains where you can automatically verify an answer—unit tests pass, the protein binds—those glitches are an acceptable tax. You iterate until it works. In domains where judgment is qualitative, the tax becomes fatal. My portfolio example still stings: I asked Claude Opus to locate the optimal weight for a new asset in an already-levered book. Opus quietly renormalized all weights to 1.0, vaporizing the leverage assumption. A layperson would see clean numbers and move on. Scale that failure mode to law, medicine, or national security and you understand why “human-in-the-loop” isn’t a slogan it’s a ceiling.

What comes next is not the next spectacular demo but the quiet absorption of today’s tools into the 80 percent of the economy that still runs on Excel and email. Code will ship with more AI-authored lines, but senior devs will still sign the diffs. Customer-support bots will escalate the five percent of tickets that matter; the other ninety-five percent will vanish so smoothly customers won’t notice. Radiologists will still stare at scans, except now a model will have pre-read every slide and flagged the one in a thousand the tired resident would have missed. And yes, you’ll still need a PhD to notice that the portfolio weights got renormalized but you’ll build the new clustering module in five minutes instead of an afternoon.

The productivity gains are real; they’re just not cinematic. For founders this means stop chasing the next 0.3 percent on MMLU. Find a vertical where verification is cheap and margins fat, then build the scaffolding that lets domain experts ride the model instead of babysit it. For investors, treat “AI” the way we treated “mobile” circa 2011: infrastructure bets can still clear the hurdle rate if you triple the time discount, but the application layer is a graveyard of demos wearing revenue costumes. For policymakers, forget the AGI manifestos and write zoning rules that let utilities run high-voltage lines to data centers.

To my fellow zealots: we are not going back to the pre-2022 world. The ceiling just got higher, but the ladder is longer than we thought. That isn’t failure; it’s physics. The next breakthrough will arrive; maybe from a grad student with a sparse attention kernel, maybe from a national lab running a ten-gigawatt reactor. Until then the boring work of integration is the only game in town.

So breathe. Ship the eval harness. Close the ticket. And remember: exponential curves always look flat when you zoom in too close.

@chant_ian Depends where you go... I can go to any bulk billing GP and all I need is my medicare card. there was a bit of a wait but i got in eventually. Like you say, those who can afford it can go to a non bulk bill GP, not wait long and be on your way... not for the poor

@rationalaussie Have you got the sources that the Australian used for this article? It seems like you are using msm as a primary source

@wojakcodes I got a big fluffy groodle (poodle retriever cross) and now everybody comes to talk to me just to pat the dog… most people come and go but a few people become really good friends… best wing man ever

@elliotrades Maybe… just maybe… he is a scam artist con man and doesn’t know what he is doing… like his whole career has indicated

@Wutanflan @GemmaNoiosi My dude... you mustn't know how the internet and youtube works... you can literally go to his channel and find at least 5 videos on each... I'll save you some time

@Acyn It was exactly this kind of thinking 80 years ago that got us into this situation! You mean you’re gonna go find another “land without people for a people without a land”?

@KumailNanji You can also use onyx… free to use unlike cleanmymac and is in my mind way better
