I just got a taste of Claude Fable 5 the past few days and it straight-up solved a bug I’d been chasing for months. One session, done. Then it got blanket-stripped from everyone because of export controls. Not just bad actors, actual paying users who were using it legitimately. I get the security concerns, but this “shut it down for the whole planet” approach sucks. It creates doubt in every other model now. Hoping it’s back soon!

The day Elon Musk told X advertisers to "go fck yourselves" he was worth $220 billion

Today he's worth $1.1 trillion

[Erick @sr_erick]

The meltdowns over Elon hitting $1T are insane. Nothing changes for you. His wealth is mostly illiquid stock in companies he built.

Bonus: SpaceX’s IPO just minted 4,400 new millionaires among current & former employees in a single day with 400 of them now worth over $100M. Value creation at scale. Touch grass.

@rebeinstein @GunnelsWarren TBH, I'd rather we weren't.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@hashjenni Sounds like 27 million Americans need to learn about personal responsibility.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@SenWarren LOL you need to shut the hell up. That's what we need even more.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@LittleCongress Bro you clearly didn't use AI, this looks like 5 minutes in Paint. Exactly what I expected your "skills" to produce... which perfectly mirrors your common sense. Congless indeed.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@RepAngieCraig @GovTimWalz @AGEllison I can't wait for your ass to be tossed to the curb in 2027. Now, the alternative is no better, but having at least one of you out of our government is a positive. We're done with the bullshit and the excuses. Time to clean house.

Minneapolis officials: "ICE caused $700 million in damage!" Bro, the numbers went from $203M to $700M in months... all based on surveys of people who "felt scared" and businesses that voluntarily closed or shortened hours amid the protests you encouraged. Self-inflicted wound from sanctuary policies, then billing the feds for it. Peak clown world accounting.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@GovTimWalz You forgot the parts where the study averaged 31 metrics equally and still ranked MN dead last or near-bottom in youth depression, environment, and civil liberties. High taxes (44th worst competitiveness), chronic net domestic out-migration for years, urban crime spikes, and massive fraud scandals don't get equal weight when you're celebrating volunteerism and voter turnout. People are voting with their feet and wallets, Governor. That's the real quality of life scorecard.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@W_R_Emory Only in your distorted world view.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@BrianaRoseLee Just how dumb are you? Keep telling yourself that, I guess.

@LittleCongress
Adults have the right to make their own medical decisions as consenting citizens. That's basic freedom. Most normal people support that.What we don't support is rushing kids into irreversible puberty blockers, hormones, or surgeries before they're 18 (see the Cass Review: weak evidence, high desistance rates). And forcing taxpayers to fund these expensive procedures? No. Protect children, respect biology in sports, prisons, and spaces, and keep public money for proven healthcare. That's not "hate" - it's common sense.

@CityMinneapolis Memorial Day honors those who died in service, not everyone who "has served." You posted this hours after your George Floyd message and only after getting called out. A day for fallen heroes shouldn’t be an afterthought or a correction. This is embarrassing.

[Erick @sr_erick]

Memorial Day is for honoring Americans who died defending this country. It's pathetic that elected leaders like Walz still push the George Floyd narrative instead. Fatal fentanyl levels, heart disease, armed robbery record. His 2020 riots wrecked Minneapolis. This hijacks the day and panders to a shrinking activist base. Most Americans moved on. Honor the fallen first.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@peggyflanagan On Memorial Day, the day we honor over a million Americans who died defending this country, you choose to post this? George Floyd isn't alive today largely because of his own choices: fentanyl + meth in his system, severe heart disease, and resisting arrest. Turning a tragic, complicated incident into your annual racial grievance ritual on a day of national remembrance is beyond tone-deaf. It's pathetic. Remember the fallen who actually served.

[Erick @sr_erick]

Musk & Bezos’ wealth is mostly company stock, not cash. Dumping it to “fix” homelessness/hunger would crash companies, kill jobs, and solve nothing long-term. Governments already blow hundreds of billions yearly on these problems with poor results. Real fixes come from the jobs and innovation their companies create. Talk is cheap. You wouldn’t do it in their shoes either.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@AngieCraigMN Saying "See ya" while Tulsi steps down to care for her husband battling rare bone cancer is genuinely pathetic, @AngieCraigMN. Zero class. Even political opponents deserve basic human decency when facing something this serious. Hope you never need empathy in return.

[Erick @sr_erick]

@DouglasLFarrar, you're missing the point. Billionaires like Bezos do know exactly how the system works. They've navigated far more complex operations than most agencies and individuals especially like you. The "difficulty" isn't mysterious bureaucracy or "complexity." It's the army of unnecessary leeches and entrenched interests fighting tooth-and-nail to protect their jobs, budgets, and handouts at every step. We all see it: duplicative programs, improper payments, failed audits, and unions suing to block basic cuts. DOGE exposed the swamp's self-defense mechanism. Outsiders aren't clueless, they're the only ones willing to drain it. Resistance proves the waste is real, not that reform is impossible.
