dear @united, if u want to know why ppl hate your airline, it’s because u have some of dumbest people working for you dealing w/some of the most complicated set of rules imaginable. a dastardly combination. funny how i don’t get a stupid survey request after that last interaction

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that the ultra-millionaire label will apply to those who have a number just above her millions 😉
Mar 30
The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households.
This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

And the U.S. wants to hold the high moral ground on access to data of foreign citizens too. What an outrage, but par for the course with the current pro-biz FTC we have installed now. If it’s good for business, f**k the people 😆
Mar 30
The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!).
The penalty? A promise not to do it again.

Another day in California 🤦🏽

Gavin Newsom wants to remind you it is now always peak fire season in California.
Also, please ignore the massive homeless encampment that was set up in the exact spot of this now raging infrno sending people running for their lives in Santee, California.

How’s this working out for California, @CAgovernor? Probably as well as an avg. gasoline price of $6/gal. (much more in some parts). On the bright side, EV sales are down and they’re about to lay the tracks so they can begin laying the tracks for the bullet train 🤣
OPINION: California’s last remaining nuclear facility, scheduled to be shuttered in four years, provides 17% of California’s clean, carbon-free electricity. sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…

This is again complete and utter bullish. LLMs are nowhere near human intelligence. And Amodei knows this. The question is why do he keep lying about it?
Mar 30
🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “We are so close to these models reaching the level of human intelligence, and yet there doesn't seem to be a wider recognition in society of what's about to happen … There hasn't been a public awareness of the risks.”

He’s so brave 🤣. Low hanging fruit compared to the Nancy Pelosi stock scandal. I guess prediction markets are easier
to take on than Wall Street, and the money the politicos are making is “too big to fail” 😆
Mar 27
I’m signing an executive order banning California state officials from using insider information to place bets, including in prediction markets.
We will not tolerate this kind of corruption in California.

sometimes i wonder how much science goes into people
like @mzjacobson’s analysis, since the stuff they’re proposing doesn’t pass the basic physics & chemistry test. here’s an example of that from someone who’s not even adverse of various energy sources: open.substack.com/pub/rogerp…

This is only the beginning. And it won’t just be billionaires leaving since everyone knows CA can’t help itself & will quickly move down the income levels. Funny, they wouldn’t need to do any of this if they clamped down on the corruption driving tax $s into scammers’ hands 🤦🏽♂️

Larry Page is gone. He wasn't just pretending to move to Florida. He has moved. The proposed wealth tax hasn't even passed, and already it has cost California both Larry's presence and all the tax revenue it made from him.

Indeed. Been sharing safe words & codes w/my family in case they get a call fm “me” w/an odd request. That we have to do this w/our family & friends shows just how far trust is disintegrating. open.substack.com/pub/garyma…

As someone living in California, you can’t hate @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom enough. The ironies of the NIMBY pseudo environmental positions leading to higher costs with no environmental benefits since it’s energy production has simply been outsourced. 🤦🏽😡 open.substack.com/pub/doombe…

sometimes music you might not like has redeeming value in the lyrics, but Bad Bunny is making this impossible to connect with. Whoever chose him as the half-time entertainer should lose their job immediately.

OMG, this f-en HILARIOUS, and sad given how true it is. This video is gonna be my standard retort from now on to any Gavin for President anything tweets, comments, emails, posts, etc...etc... because he's ready to our country's "leading man" 😂🤣😂

Even The Daily Show is starting to notice that Gavin Newsom has failed to deliver on everything he has promised since being gifted his career in politics.

The U.S. could really benefit from introducing pragmatic skepticism into the classroom, if the mass hysteria we’ve seen exhibited by so many in the past year, is anything to go by: “How Finland Teaches People to Be Immune to Misinformation”… stocks.apple.com/AuX64k1epQa…

The main difference between Obama and Trump here, is that Obama shows compassion and empathy as he delivers his pronoucements, Trump is kind of a douche about it. Having said that, they're definitely saying the same thing, which only hypocrites can deny.

Let's welcome the latest site to be hacked to the tune of ~30m accounts (Email addresses, Geographic locations, Names, Profile statistics, Usernames)...@SoundCloud. Security for all of these sites is just a word that starts with 'S'. Heck, why even require login credentials? 🤦
