To stop AI now, you would need an absolutely totalitarian government. I am a libertarian but AI will kill us all unless we get an absolutely totalitarian government.

I have a different view: X has been a night and day improvement over the old Twitter.

Community Notes mean that if you see misleading information, it is accompanied by facts. It even uses notifications to show you corrections to something you saw previously.

Free speech is actually encouraged and is flourishing.

Grok is a world class AI tool.

The US should seize total control of the Strait of Hormuz, including all land necessary to ensure safe passage of ships. The population should be evicted. The US should collect high fees for safe ship passage to pay for everything.

Farmer here. We only run equipment made before 2000 and all of our tractors are from the 1980s. We badly need right to repair.

I am moving my business out of state because of this. Already had a problem with this, I had an employee stealing clients and he even said on a recording he made for his roommate and the roommate made me that he stole them. You can not run a business in Democrat states anymore.

I am trying to build new homes in Washington state. I have been navigating a gauntlet of a five step process where eleven departments have to give approvals at each step and it has taken five years. This is just to split a twenty acre parcel into two ten acre parcels.
