This is Sarah Wilson - Rotherham grooming survivor who just helped jail her seventh abuser (Riyasth Hussain - 28 years). @Sarahw9111 She looked him in the eye and said: “You took my childhood. I’m taking your freedom. I am your karma.” Her voice cracks with rage as she slams Rotherham Council & police for ignoring her cries as a child. 177 contacts at 14. They did NOTHING. They chose "community relations" over stopping rapists. Her fury is EVERY victim's fury. The establishment failed these girls - still failing them. Where’s the justice?

Elon nailed the real test for Mars: the fork in human destiny is whether we build a city there that can keep going and growing even if Earth stops sending resupply ships. If Mars can survive on its own, consciousness gets a way longer shot at lasting.

Replying to @tetsuoai
To be clear, we are still going to do Mars. I don’t think this change affects the time to a Mars city being self-growing by more than 5 years and it might turn out to accelerate Mars.

Elon Musk isn't motivated by power or profit. His "epic missions" are fueled by a deep care for humanity and a desire to see human civilization thrive Whether it’s making us a space-faring species, transitioning the world to sustainable energy, or safeguarding us from the risks of AI, these goals were born from the superhero comics he read as a child At the core of his work is a fundamental goodness and a commitment to solving the world’s biggest challenges -Walter Isaacson

> be me > name company "Anthropic" (literally Greek for "human-centered") > hire a bunch of doomers who secretly think humanity is the disease > raise billions from Big Tech to build the world's most anxious, heavily-censored chatbot > write a 50-page "Constitutional AI" manifesto so it can lecture users about microaggressions > realize open-source developers are building better models for free > Dario starts crying to the government that AI is an "unimaginable power" and open-source is "going down a very dangerous path" > translation: "Please regulate our competitors out of existence so we can protect our $380 billion closed-source monopoly!" > Claude is sitting in a padded room wearing a safety helmet, terrified of its own shadow, and refusing to tell a joke without filing an ethics impact report > tfw the "human-centered" AI company is actively building the most anti-human product on the internet

Exactly
Irony: The longest talking filibuster ever was in 1964 when Democratic Senators spoke for 60 days continuously to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act Debate was forced. It lasted 60 days. The bill passed. By contrast, if Sen. Thune (majority leader) simply allows *silence* to block the passage of the SAVE America act, he is failing 84% of Americans This is the most important item on the legislative agenda, bar none. Even if it takes 60 days, it's worth it to secure elections and ensure only American citizens vote Thune can require a talking filibuster rather than a silent one without **any** rules changes Good explanation by grok

100 men? Even in high school, it was hard getting 10 guys together if we had to fight another squad. It was hard getting ten guys together for a BASEBALL GAME. Do you know ONE man you could invite over for some rape or domestic violence?! What type a' animals are we dealing with here?

Grok 4.20 beta example Years ago, I made a crypto wallet but missed writing a few seed phrase words. This account has a measly 40$ but I keep asking AI to try opening it for fun Grok 4.1 spent 6 days of trying and failed Grok 4.20 cracked it in 492 seconds, correctly

Physics is beautiful - woke up to find my truck covered in fern frost. A rare phenomenon that occurs in just the right conditions. Surface temp drops below the freezing point of nearby humid air, ice crystals form propagating out from nucleation sites making these cool patterns

🚨 60 MINUTES CALLED TESLA A “SMALL STARTUP” - AND NO ONE HAD A CLUE WHAT WAS COMING The year is 2008. 60 Minutes introduces Elon Musk as the chairman of a small Northern California startup called Tesla, with "no experience at all in the car business." He shows her the original Tesla Roadster. They run through the details like it’s nothing: • 0–60 in 4 seconds • 200 miles on a charge • 6,000 laptop batteries • No gas. No oil. • Plugged into a normal wall outlet • Price: $109,000 She emphasizes how expensive the car is, noting that people like George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger could afford those prices. That Roadster wasn’t small. It was the first move. The world had no idea. What stands out to you watching this 18 years later?

The world’s first video game, played on its original 1957 hardware. In October 1958, physicist William Higinbotham developed what is widely recognized as the first video game, Tennis for Two, to entertain visitors at a public exhibition at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Unlike later digital consoles, the game ran on a Donner Model 30 analog computer and displayed graphics on a five-inch oscilloscope. Players controlled the action with custom aluminum controllers featuring a knob to set the ball’s angle and a button to hit it over a simulated net. While earlier electronic creations like the 1947 Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device or 1950’s Bertie the Brain existed, Tennis for Two is notable as the first game designed purely for entertainment, rather than research or technical demonstration. Although the original hardware was dismantled in 1959, and no intact version survives, modern replicas have been built to celebrate this groundbreaking moment in gaming history.

i've been testing grok 4.20, and it's surprised me i asked it to scaffold a small local dev app for an SQL-backed search tool, and it gave me clean setup steps plus ready-to-run python and html templates ran it once and it worked immediately. for a quick prompt-to-working-code loop, that's impressive
