As an example, right now I am seeing all the negative things about how the AI bubble is going to pop. Where I know if I engage with something that is positive about AI, it will stop showing me that and focus on the day dreaming that AI can do.

One thing I hate about X that has gotten worse since it changed from Twitter is how biased the algorithm is to some type of engagement.

I like to read neutral information so I can be informed on realities and I just can’t do that on this platform. It’s frustrating.

[Ryan Provost @provostrf]

Still sad the Mammoth didn’t make it to the finals. Feeling a little conflicted on who I want to win.

@mholt6 It is all super dumb. I just was in the same situation last month. I ended up buying less capacity for a higher price than I paid in November 2025.

And it is just a consumer desktop drive to make it even more offensive.

Saw The Mandalorian and Grogu today. Definitely enjoyed escaping to a galaxy far, far away! Thanks for the fun time @Jon_Favreau @dave_filoni !

This is hilarious because in order for it to work it would have to train on good data from refs making the right calls. That isn’t something that is found in today’s league.

Adam Silver says the NBA will implement an AI automated system to review calls.

@Ruleof2Review I have a giant tv and a recliner for a reason! 99% of the time I am docked as well. I don’t find the Switch 2 in handheld very comfortable to play. I bought a grip that helps, but still prefer the tv.

@mysk_co I have always thought this was likely the case and Meta was reading the messages on the device.

It’s a problem that E2EE apps think their promise of security only applies to messages during transit.

I know I am late to the game, but the Insta360 Flow 2 paired with the new Mic Pros is an amazing setup.

iPhone photography/videography will never be as good a mirrorless/eng/cinema grade camera. But man… the convenience of it all is truly incredible.

@GovCox @UtahDNR @UtahFFSL I am frustrated with how our state is being governed and the inconsistent messaging around water usage for companies vs private citizens.

And these heroes are the ones who have to risk their lives as a result…

[Ryan Provost @provostrf]

Finally found a few use cases with AI that might actually help me in my daily work to be more organized instead of it just being a search engine. I am anxious to see if they really work. The tests are looking positive so far.

[Ryan Provost @provostrf]

The power is out at my house. Guess that means I get to play with some Star Wars lightsabers and droids instead of work for a little bit. #dangit

@jamesglenos Just canceled tonight.

@SawyerMerritt I bought this thing for emergency preparedness. I think it hasn’t even been a year yet. First day of setting it up was a major outage. Got it working and then it has just been sitting in a box costing me money every month. I can’t justify $10 a month. Just will pay when I need it

[Ryan Provost @provostrf]

@uniquemoviemom No doubt. He was a great politician.

Also just dawned on me he could have been using the force on the weak minded. 🤯

@jasoninthehouse There are a whole lot of shoulds and mights in your statement. I bet you would walk out of a timeshare presentation with an “Ownership” agreement If you truly believe any of that.

[Ryan Provost @provostrf]

Please don’t do this.

As someone who is super into personal finance, your behavior is the problem. It isn’t going to be fixed by some analysis from AI.

Working in cybersecurity, giving a data broker all your financial information is a privacy nightmare.

Barely getting the business going and have had tons of issues with getting paid. Are there better products I should be looking at than @QuickBooks? I am not far enough down the road that I can’t switch easily.

[Ryan Provost @provostrf]

Trying to contact @QuickBooks support to get help. They had the audacity to have a robot apologize for them not doing well in support, long waits, etc and they will do better. Then to immediately say the current wait time is over 1 hour.
