Kendyl Pool was born with malformations in her inner ears leaving her deaf. Her mother first discovered @Hearview_ Smart Glasses from Chrissy Marshall's TikTok video (video attached in quoted post), and gave her a pair for her 10th birthday:

Less code, more physical technology.

Indeed @BilawalSidhu … bring back @RadioShackUSA Retail Stores In the age of robotics, drones, and reindustrialization, it would be the biggest brand revival in history.

Gotta’ love it.

Do it.

Now Microsoft… who’s next?

This is excellent. When this launches, SpaceX should also release a (private & secure) phone, with their own OS.

Applied #AI space research— Pavel in Spain two new planets around nearby star. NASA will be testing his hypothesis in November. Somebody with a large network needs to amplify this. Hopefully it will reach @elonmusk’s attention soon. @Scobleizer have you seen this?

This was two weeks ago today but, due to recent developments out of France, I want to revisit this interview… “What is the first lesson in poker, and in life? If you think the other person is the mark, you’re the mark—YOU are the mark! …it might even collapse the whole market…” —Alex Karp So we—the tax payers—are the mark… did Karp have a Freudian slip when he said, “all of us…” then cut himself off—is Karp expecting Palantir to be government backstopped? A look at Palantir’s revenue: Per Q2 earnings call: 51% gov / 49% private From: 93% YoY growth 79% YoY growth gov 108% YoY growth private …but that’s not the whole picture. 2025: 55% YoY growth gov 109% YoY growth private So Palantir’s government revenue growth accelerated by 24 percentage points YoY, while private sector revenue growth remained essentially flat. Government is already 51% of their revenue—slightly larger than all private sector clients combined. If these Q2 growth numbers remain stable, and YoY growth acceleration continues at this rate, government YoY growth will overtake the private sector growth rate in ~18 months, and it’s already half their business. Things are moving very fast. A few weeks ago Chinese open models were the catalyst for this dialog—even if disguised as a safety issue—now we have new developments. How is this effected by the rise of Mistral (France)? Until now flying largely under the radar, last week’s Mistral release shocked the industry, matching US frontier model performance. Technically a private company, Mistral gets substantial public funding: Scaleup Europe Fund (EU backed fund), Bpifrance (French state owned investment bank), Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (sovereign wealth fund), EuroHPC JU (another EU entity with public and private investment). The Chinese open weight models are also heavily government subsidized. So let’s play this out: Under the guise of “safety,” but mostly to protect investors, OpenAI (and by extension, Anthropic) get nationalized. Do the investors get a 2008 style bailout? Does Palantir get nationalized? Does any AI company that doesn’t get nationalized therefore fail? Who can compete with the government? And when I say “can,” I also mean “may.” Again, under the ruse of “AI safety” are we now back at a regulatory moat, like Altman and Amodei were pining for a few weeks ago—but this time, is Karp on board, if he’s inside the buy out? Was Karp’s real objection before not actually about Altman and Amodei wanting (captured) regulation, but really about who was inside and who was outside the moat? Given we’re at the midterms, I’ll just throw this in too… It is kinda' …interesting (?) that the Republicans are running on a “Don’t vote for the Democrats, they’re all Socialists!” platform, what with the government taking a stake in Intel, Westinghouse, U.S. Steel/Nippon and others, Trump is already the most socialist president since FDR. if we also nationalize US frontier models, Trump may be most socialist president in US history. But the government doesn’t move as fast as tech/private sector. This wouldn’t happen until after the midterms. Then it can be put forward as bipartisan legislation—you know, for our own protection.

Hi @Grok, please create an image of what the world would look like if I were in charge, based on my tweets

This is insanity. AI should be disrupting healthcare, and collapsing healthcare costs. Absolutely maddening.

This is very smart.

The Machiavellian Jiu-Jitsu that Sam Altman and Dario Amodei have pulled, rallying the populist fear of AI to rally support for regulation of AI, that would give them a state sanctioned monopoly on AI through regulatory capture, by criminalizing the use of their competition, while holding themselves up as the guardians of “AI safety” is one of the wildest corporate chess-moves I’ve ever seen. The fact that this places me arguing on the same side as Alex Karp, is just another sign of our upside-down times.

“A study by the University of Memphis found no significant increases in pollution or temperature in the areas around the Colossus 1 data center in southwest Memphis.” This is now the third study to reach this same conclusion. It is true that the quality of life in Boxtown is not great. It is a poor neighborhood adjacent to a heavy industry zoned industrial park. This is also not new. It has been the case for at least half a century. Conditions in Boxtown were not created by @SpaceXAIMemphis However, xAI has paid ~$13M to the city and ~$13M to the county for 2025 taxes, ~$26M total for the metro area (and will also soon be bringing money to the tax coffers in North Mississippi). Mayor Paul Young has set aside 25% of the city’s xAI 2025 tax revenue ($3.259M) for neighborhood improvements including re-paving the streets, and assistance of up to $30,000 (0% interest loans that can be forgiven after five years of occupancy) for roofs, HVAC systems, weatherization, and general home improvements, as well as money for general neighbor cleanup, and blight remediation (graffiti removal, etc.). While xAI is not responsible for the living conditions in Boxtown, they are the first commercial tenant in the adjacent industrial park whose tax contribution will directly and measurably improve the quality of life for their residents.

Hopefully this should kill Dario’s proposal in the cradle, and everyone can get back to work.

We are the nuclear state. #TN
