.@elonmusk people’s critical thinking skills SUCK HARD today. Ancient Greek societies were miles ahead. Experiential and discussion based learning is the answer. An accessible “school of critical thinking” does not exist. Would you entertain this idea? P.s. I know how to get shit done.

Stimulus checks don’t work. Period. It is highly inflationary and sacrifices long term stability for short term gain. In addition, it will drive up the price of everything as more dollars chase fewer goods. A 50 year mortgage will not work. Period. It will make homes appear more affordable, but you will pay more on interest than the value of the home. QE and zero % interest rates will devalue currency. Period. Your dollar will be stretched even further. We saw this all play out in 2020. Do we not remember just 5 years ago? What’s the answer? 1. Higher interest rates to curb inflation. 2. Abolish the income tax to give people more spending power. 3. Reduce reliance on government to solve social problems. 4. Eliminate the Ponzi scheme that is subsidized healthcare. 5. Eliminate property tax. Turns out the answer to most of our economic problems is less government. You think the government is going to tell you the truth?

AGI is 1-100 years away. We MUST invest everything into AI now, or else!🤦‍♂️

To those in public build mode: Virality is easy, but doesn't last. Branding is hard, but it opens more opportunities. The key to branding is authenticity. This primarily means knowing when to own your mistakes and embracing imperfection. Do those two things, and you will be unstoppable.

Imagine how many more entrepreneurs we would have in America if people were taxed less, were paid like they were in the 1950s, and the idea of the American family were not trampled on. Imagine what the true golden age of America, built by the American worker, for the American worker, could've been if not for corporations scared of losing a monopoly. Imagine if banks invested in business ideas like they do with college educations. Imagine inflation not being a thing because currency is linked to real money - Gold. Imagine how freedom from a 9-5, without fear of losing access to affordable healthcare, might make you act. Imagine not feeling completely drained of energy every single day, drawing you to entertainment and consumption activities. Imagine food that is nourishing and healing, and not a fake, poisonous substitute. These are just some of the ways opportunities have been stolen from Americans. We should all be very upset about this.

The hottest jobs in AI right now are forward-deployed engineers, according to Financial Times. Translation: The AI we purchased to write code for us delivers tons of bugs, so we need to hire humans to fix the bugs that the AI wrote to replace humans writing code. That said, there is a huge opportunity for AI management and consulting firms to help businesses implement, scale, and secure AI usage.

Impressed with my X feed. Feels less like doom scrolling and more like truth seeking. A better investment of time for sure.

The questions that should be asked: 1. Were those jobs worth a human’s time to begin with? 2. Is it AI that’s taking the jobs, or uncertainty from businesses that slows hiring? 3. Are businesses moving into survival mode given that corporate debt is at ATHs and margins are shrinking? AI is only a scapegoat for the underlining weakness in the economy. Yes, the bubble exists, but many other activities outside of AI will be shielded by blaming a crash on AI. We’re also VERY early in AI adoption. Most people with some knowledge in AI are the experts in their company.

We're in an #AI bubble. There is no question about this. Without AI investments, the US GDP growth would only be up 0.1%. Just take a look at the Ponzi schemes operating in the investment space. *MOST* of this "growth" is spending (or future promises to spend) by a handful of companies on GPUs, datacenters, and power. All of which are limited in supply, very expensive, and for datacenters and power, will take decades to build out to meet growing demand. Despite these realities, the potential of AI is known. Recent surveys of business owners say they spend between $1,200 - $5,000 per year per employee on AI. The mentality of CEOs right now is: Accelerate business = buy AI. Differentiate business = build AI. Soon, many will start to wake up to the fact that they can cost-effectively build apps and train AI models in-house. The winners of AI in business will be those who can build tools and models that solve very specific use cases within the company. In addition, these in-house projects can be far more secure and reduce dependencies on 3rd parties. The key will be to find use cases for AI. Not chasing the shiny new AI model or novelty apps.

Seeing a lot of great takes on what's happening in the #gold market right now. One thing I haven't seen discussed is upcoming earnings. Q3 is going to be spectacular for the miners. Q4 will be even better with gold at $4100. Considering the sentiment is that $5k gold is achievable this year, Q1 26 will be the best quarter of them all. Why would anyone sell?

People should know that #inflation doesn’t mean prices on goods/services go up. It means the value of fiat is going down. There is a reason why people AND central banks are lining up around the world buying #gold at $4300. Ironically, it was ignored at $1500. #XRP is also very interesting once you understand that the true value of crypto is tied to utility + transaction volume. Not Ponzi schemes and rug pulls. Look up iso20022 and who is adopting it. Real assets are the only way to weather what’s coming: 1. The brewing regional banking crisis. 2. More interest rate cuts into an ATH in stocks. 3. QE to infinity. Sound familiar? The signs are here. The information is there if you’re curious enough to look. Only you have yourself to blame if you let them get away with taking your wealth (again). 99% chance this post gets lost in the ether because algorithm, but I’ll say I did my part in spreading the word.

Shadow AI is sneaking into workplaces, risking data leaks and fines. 57% of employees admit to hiding the use of tools like ChatGPT. Their biggest crime? Wanting to be more productive. But IBM warns that the average cost of a Shadow AI breach in 2025 is $670K. And this doesn't include the fines for non-compliance. Don’t let Shadow AI sink your business.

If Google actually cared about its users they would promote more niche community forums in search results. Not a multi-billion dollar company who is incentivized to sell you ads. Google doubled down by training their AI models on Reddit because they can’t do it with @x the same way @xai can. “New data” is the most precious commodity.   Everything ever posted on the internet and then some has already been consumed by models. Google is desperate for more “new data” to train their models. And Reddit needs more traffic to grow revenue to justify share price. Quid pro quo? AI ethics matters in bias and explainability, but also in how that training data is obtained. So I ask you: Is Google ethically building their AI?

IDK who's reading 5+ paragraphs of text for every response from #AI. Too slow for the general user. We desperately need a faster way to digest this information for human validation. Inb4 "just set up another agent to do it," or "prompt better brah lol," or "papa Elon has a chip for you!" We need practical solutions to get wider adoption from the general user. In the world of websites, we call them "dumb users," and for a very good reason. Outputs need to be quick, simple, and dumbed down for the end user to feel like they're getting value.

Detecting AI data poisoning is extremely difficult, says AI expert Tom Vazdar. Attackers tweak just a tiny fraction of data—impacting thousands of entries in massive datasets. #AIThreats #CyberSecurity
