The people just discovering Red Baron Pizza are what we call “new poor.” Some of us are “old poor.” 😉

Under the Hood now shows you which posts received a visibility-limiting label, making it easier to see what’s affected: xitter.gq/i/jf/under_the_hood
This was a top request — thanks for the feedback.
You’ll see the specific posts listed when fewer than 5% of your posts during the report period have that label.

Out of curiosity I had my Grok Bot read 26,000 news articles about car crashes since 2019.
70% of Tesla crash stories put "Tesla" in the headline vs less than 6% for any other mainstream car manufacturer.
Even exotic crashes like Lamborghini and Ferrari make the headline only about half the time at most.

My friend made a really impressive app. It's live and has users. He has no idea where it's hosted.

Epstein bought the Island in 98 under Clinton.
He was first arrested in 2006 under Bush.
He died in 2019.
Clinton did nothing.
Bush did nothing.
Obama did nothing.
Biden did nothing.
But it's all somehow all Trump's fault.
Stop falling for propaganda.

Here’s what I’ve always stood for. Too bad all of the Republican leaders in the swamp betrayed these principles just to satisfy corporate and foreign lobbies. A lot of Republican congressmen who followed them off the cliff are probably regretting their decisions right about now.

If you want Massie to be president, he has to win the Republican primary.
If Massie cannot win a Republican primary, he cannot and will not be president.
It's sick to see libertarians trying to turn Massie into a worthless loser like Justin Amash.
Draft Massie for President means exactly what it says.
The obvious answer to your question is that he should explore all options, including running GOP, Independent, or another vehicle, until we have more data.
Surely you wouldn’t suggest something as brain dead as blindly running in the same party that pushed him out if the data isn't there? The midterms and coming months will tell us a lot.
And, of course, all of this depends on the ultimate goal and the time horizon: Is it limited to winning the WH in 2028?

China didn't become the world's mineral powerhouse because they were blessed with better geology. China won because they built the refineries, processed the materials, and kept building while America spent decades arguing over permits.

There are two bodies of law here.
- Copyright law.
- Contract law (Epic's EULA, and the license agreement each game developer chooses for their game, are contracts.)
If an AI company downloaded Unreal Engine today and trained on its output, the court reasoning of the Anthropic decision suggests that would not be a copyright violation.
But it would be a breach of contract because they'd agreed to the EULA (which today prohibits training on outputs) and then violated it. Our upcoming EULA change removes that contractual restriction on training on our, Epic's, engine outputs.
Each game developer releasing a game can release it with their own license that says whatever they want. An AI company that gets and agreed to a license is then bound by it. If they violated the license, the developer could litigate a breach of contract.

Madness
🚨ALERT: The editors of the journal Men and Masculinities will no longer allow authors to refer to individuals as being "male."
If an author uses the term, they should "specify which dimension(s) of sex are at issue, since sex itself refers to several only loosely correlated dimensions rather than a single underlying fact."
For example, trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas must be referred to as a woman, and his maleness, if mentioned at all, must be attached to specific traits, like genitals, hormones, and chromosomes.
You cannot call Lia Thomas a "male" in this journal, but a woman with "male genitals" and "male sex chromosomes."
The first author of this editorial—the Managing Editor of Men and Masculinities, Tristen Kade—is a woman who identifies as a man.
The model of biological sex this editorial is pushing is what I refer to in my scholarly article "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes" as the "multi-level" sex model. This model is not merely wrong—it is self-refuting.
From my article:
"Traits are labeled 'male-typical' or 'female-typical' only because they correlate with organisms already identified as male or female—an identification that, in anisogamous species, is made ultimately by reference to gametes."
