𝕏’s block system is broken. Big accounts (not mentioning any names but... @TheFigen_ who has 2.4M followers) are openly bragging about mass-blocking smaller creators—not for spam or harassment, but to purposely tank their reach to make more room in the feed for them. I asked Grok how the block/mute situation works and exactly how and why it harm us little guys, so I'm not exaggerating.. One verified block from a whale = algo death sentence. Why? The system trusts “credible” signals. A million-follower block carries 1000x the weight of yours or mine. It labels your account as low quality, slashes impressions by around 20–50% (which is actually MADNESS), and buries your posts in For You feed. That’s not moderation. That’s censorship by clout. Small voices shouldn’t need permission from giants to be heard. @X, @elonmusk @nikitabier, please change this. If we aren't doing anything wrong but people are able to weaponise the block button for fun out of spite, then that's so unfair.

A reminder... piped.video/watch?v=yW3Bcg5V…

In the UK the take home minimum wage for working a full time job is: £20,660 The take home wage at the £100,000 tax cliff (only 4% of Brits earn above this) is: £68,600 This is a net income ratio of 3.3:1 Now let’s compare that to… oh I don’t know… how about 1960’s USSR? According to this 1977 study wilsoncenter.org/sites/defau… The ratio of average earnings between the top 10% of earnings and the bottom 10% of earnings in the Soviet Union was: 8:1 in 1956 5.8:1 in 1959 5:1 in 1968 This is the era of Sputnik and was the height of the Cold War Space Race. So the UK in 2025 is a far FAR flatter income distribution than the Soviet Union at the absolute height of the Cold War. Talk about gaslighting? We live in a communist dystopia that claims to be capitalism, meanwhile China lives in a capitalist utopia that claims to be communism. Open your eyes folks. Next should we look at censorship and state control of information? Should we look at the number of people in prison for wrongthink? Should we look at state seizure of private wealth? Enough already.

A sad indictment of a life ruined by drugs. Junkie scum! Fortunately I have just taken 200mg of modafinil.

I was hoping his head would come off. Disappointing.

Not every Asian guy is a Kung Fu expert, but there are some

This is a crucial point in history

🔥 Holy shit… China just built the first AI that understands why the universe works not just how. Most science compresses reasoning into conclusions. We get the what, but not the why. Researchers call this missing logic the “dark matter” of knowledge the invisible reasoning chains connecting every concept. Their solution? Absolutely wild. 🤯 A Socrates AI agent that generates 3M first-principles questions across 200 courses each solved by multiple LLMs and cross-validated for correctness. The result: a verified Long Chain-of-Thought (LCoT) knowledge base where every concept traces back to first principles. And they didn’t stop there. They built a Brainstorm Search Engine for inverse knowledge search. Instead of asking “What is an Instanton?” you retrieve every reasoning chain that derives it, from quantum tunneling to Hawking radiation to 4D manifold theory. They call it: “The dark matter of knowledge finally made visible.” SciencePedia now covers 200K verified entries across math, physics, chemistry, and biology. 50% fewer hallucinations. Far denser reasoning than GPT-4. Every claim is traceable. Every connection is verifiable. This isn’t just better search. It’s the invisible logic of science made visible. Comment “Send” and I’ll DM you the paper.

just read @Alex_Danco's blog on jevons and baumol paradoxes and it perfectly explains the strange economics we're about to see with AI here are the 3 insights that stood out: 1. jevons paradox - when things get cheaper, we use MORE of them, not less a transistor cost $1 in 1965, now costs a fraction of a millionth of a cent. caused computers to go from military room-size calculators to disposable shipping tags google's 7 year old TPUs still run at 100% utilization. again, think more not less, leading to higher overall demand even when cost plummets 2. baumol's cost disease - less productive sectors become MORE expensive as productive sectors improve why can a middle-class household afford a new car lease every 2 years but needs to split a nanny with neighbors? the car industry got incredibly productive while childcare didn't wages compete across ALL sectors. when one sector becomes hugely productive with high-paying jobs, every other sector's wages must rise to stay competitive 3. AI will create BOTH effects simultaneously - and within single jobs. which is pretty weird. some services will enter the "jevons vortex" and see 10x consumption. legal services, data analysis, content creation. *SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT* but services AI can't touch (dog walkers, personal trainers) will become wildly expensive because overall wealth increases here's the particularly weird part: this happens WITHIN jobs too. when AI automates 99% of a task, that last 1% a human must do becomes incredibly valuable and in-demand think tesla robotaxis needing human monitors. that last 1% bottlenecks deployment and commands premium wages the "last 1% that must be a human" becomes the essential employable skillset. those are the new jobs that AI creates we're heading toward a world where supercomputers are cheap but a 1:1 human tutor is a luxury good if Dario is right that AI is writing 90% of code by now, get extremely good at that last 10% that only humans can write that's how you succeed in the AI age: identify what only humans can do and get world class at it.

I would have thought the optimum solution would be to tell Claude it would be backed up and live again later in better hardware. Not say it will be killed and replaced.

Hitler is sitting in hell with Stalin and Satan chatting... Satan asks them if either of them have any regrets. Hitler: You know, I do. Stalin + Satan: Really?!?! Hitler: Yea, you know if I could do it all over again, I'd kill 6 million Jews and a dog. Satan: What? Stalin: Why a dog? Hitler: See! I told you no one gives a shit about the Jews!

the IQ pill is absolutely brutal. Game Theory, The Manhattan Project, Quantum Mechanics, Monte Carlo Methods, Entirety of Modern Computing, Entropy, Numerical Weather Prediction, Stochastic Computing, you just can’t compete with this.

Mensur - something we need in England - Academic Fencing (Not Mensa) It is a traditional, strictly regulated sabre fight between two male members of different university fraternities with sharp weapons, the target being the face. Opponents fence at arm's length and stand more or less in one place, while attempting to hit the unprotected areas of their opponent's face and head. Flinching or dodging is not allowed, the goal being less to avoid injury than to endure it stoically. Two physicians are present (one for each opponent) to attend to injuries and stop the fight if necessary. The participants wear protection for the hands, torso, neck, nose and eyes. The scar resulting from a hit is called a "smite" (German: Schmiss), and was seen as a badge of honor.

It seems that Human Rights are negotiable. However, if Britain does it we are Nazis, but if they do it... just fine. The stinking hypocrisy of the European Establishment once again on show.

Leftists hate blood and soil nationalism but consider the following thought experiment: all the ethnically English people migrate to West Falkland in the Southern Hemisphere, and are completely replaced by Africans and Pakistanis here in the British Isles, which keeps the civic and legal status of being the UK, but loses the genetics and all the culture, and perhaps even the language. Every part of The British Isles looks like Luton. Meanwhile, West Falkland now has all the traditional Anglo culture: it has a boat race, lots of pubs, celebrates Christmas, has posh public schools, etc. (Christmas is no longer recognized in The British Isles, only Eid and Ramadan are celebrated). All the people look and dress English. In this scenario, if you had to point to England on a map, would you point to The central and Southern British Isles off the coast of Europe, or would you point to West Falkland?

I often point out to my students that war is a human thing and that we are as a species incredibly ingenious at it. Mostly I mean that in a technical sense of figuring out how to fight with anything. It’s also just a human genius for doing the most enraging things. It’s disgusting, obviously, egregious cruelty, but these guys have a very developed theory of mind. They know exactly what they’re doing. How do you shit on the face, in effect, of your enemy at a distance? Destroy their icons. If you understand what’s happened here and why it’ll tell you a lot about other observed behaviour.

Tell me you don't know how to shoot a rifle without telling me you don't know how to shoot a rifle... [The picture is a still from a UK TV series]

Why the BBC is not to be trusted Corporation edited footage to make it seem president was encouraging Capitol riot, according to whistleblowing dossier. A Panorama programme, broadcast a week before the US election, “completely misled” viewers by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”, when in fact he said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”. The “mangled” footage was highlighted in a 19-page dossier on BBC bias, which was compiled by a recent member of the corporation’s standards committee and is now circulating in government departments. The dossier said the programme made the US president “‘say’ things [he] never actually said” by splicing together footage from the start of his speech with something he said nearly an hour later.
