You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.   Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

Kevin O’Leary is straight-up peddling corporate spin. His take on “modern” data centers with closed-loop cooling and “minimal water” ignores the explosive reality of AI-driven demand. Efficiency per rack improves, but total consumption is skyrocketing.

BREAKING: The FBI and DHS have created a new “anti-tech violent extremism” threat category to monitor and surveil activists protesting artificial intelligence (AI) development and data center construction, per Daniel Boguslaw.

Kevin O’Leary, You personally are staring at screens 10 hrs per day, do you see anything wrong with this? The average American stares at screens for 7–12 hours per day, a figure that continues to rise. “Leaders” and Technocrats should be discussing how to REDUCE screen time. The bulk of data center storage is devoted to VIDEO, streaming, and AI-generated slop. Thanks to everyone’s pocket computers—and now glasses—individuals have become mini production crews, or more aptly, simulation entities. Massive data centers do nothing to reduce screen time; they only amplify it. Consider this 1956 IBM data center shipment: a 5MB hard drive weighing over a ton. It would not store even a single photograph from a modern pocket computer. Data centers will SHRINK! Then we will need MORE data centers. How do we want to evolve?

I think there is a good chance we’re in a simulation, not that we’re definitely in one

Hey @instagram do you think in the year 2027 we will be able to SEARCH saved posts? Like, what do you guys actually DO?

A single bird has completed a journey covering nearly one-third of Earth’s circumference, without stopping to eat, drink, or rest. A five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit, set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in a bird. It traveled from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia, covering about 8,425 miles in just over 11 days. This remarkable migration took place entirely over the Pacific Ocean, with no opportunity to land. What makes the achievement even more striking is that it was the bird’s first migration, yet it navigated thousands of miles of open ocean with extraordinary accuracy. The journey is made possible by extreme physiological adaptation. Before departure, the bird builds up large fat reserves, nearly half its body weight, to serve as fuel. At the same time, some internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to reduce weight and conserve energy. Unlike seabirds that rely heavily on gliding, this young godwit maintained continuous flapping flight for the entire trip, enduring changing winds and weather conditions along the way. Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say findings like this are reshaping our understanding of what migratory birds can achieve. Their endurance, navigation, and energy efficiency highlight biological capabilities that rival even advanced human engineering.

Hey @instagram can you make it so… when I share a post via TXT, it shows the preview just as I see it on Instagram please 🙏🏼

The combined probability of humans existing capturing a sunset photo from Mars — is on the order of one in 10^{25} to 10^{45} or worse.

The smart people are here

SpaceX is now providing precise positional awareness of objects in Earth orbit to all satellite operators for free. This will greatly reduce the probability of collisions that create orbital debris (space junk) hazards.

The data centers and AI giants are making billions as they drain the power grid dry and get indirect consumer subsidies in the form of 100% bill increases. It's time they allocate some of trillions in circle jerk funds to lowering electricity costs for everyone else
