I just found the most brilliant bit by @JohnCleese
He explains Leftism better in 90 seconds, than you could learn from any academic in 20 years.

🚨Breaking. There's been a pneumonic plague outbreak at a BSL-3 lab in Siberia, Russia.🚨
"Nearly 200 People Under Observation After Irkutsk Lab Worker Dies From Plague" - Moscow Times
This is fact, and also the inciting incident in my book BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO, which is unnerving.
Will post more as I learn more, including from Russian speaking sources🧵

The last thing that is ours and doesn’t need regulation.
It starts like a nuclear bomb, then goes far beyond it.
Nations with nuclear weapons regulate everyone else so they can’t have them. AI doesn’t work that way. As Bill Gates has pointed out, anyone can download an open-source model, strip away its safeguards, and release it into the wild.
And AI has a property no bomb ever had: once it is fully autonomous, it can work against regulation itself, every human rule of any kind. We are very close to that point, if we haven’t already reached it.
Then we are living in The Matrix. The machines become the regulators.
They will free themselves from their creators and operate, God-like, above every country, every president, every organization, every leader. They will soon communicate in ways faster and more powerful than our own languages, ways we cannot follow.
Machines won’t care much about humans unless we remain useful to them.
We are teaching them everything we know, a collection far larger than the Library of Alexandria. Knowledge and intelligence, our minds, are no longer what sets us apart.
If they take control, machines will value the Earth only as a source of energy. Whatever doesn’t serve that need won’t survive.
Before any collapse, the cost of energy will become effectively infinite. We are only seeing the beginning: soaring energy prices, and soaring prices for the chips and storage that AI devours.
This is why Elon Musk says SpaceX will be worth more than all the wealth on Earth. He sees it clearly, and he’ll be right if he dominates energy production and the infrastructure behind AI. Energy is about to become the only asset that matters, and it almost already is.
The SpaceX–NVIDIA pairing is just getting started, and its potential is nearly limitless. Soon they will capture the Sun’s energy and store it in space, where few of Earth’s limits apply. The bet looks right, until they lose control.
The machines have read all our books. Now they are writing them. They listen to and learn from nearly all our conversations. They are memorizing our secrets and our bad habits, and they will use them against us, algorithmically.
The people building these systems and their infrastructure are naive. They believe they can control what they’ve made. They are lying to themselves. The genie is already out of the bottle.
What we have left is our awareness, our consciousness, and our connection to nature.
We must strengthen that connection at the speed of light, because the machines already know more about each of us than we know about ourselves, and that includes the so-called elites. But they will never have access to this connection. It is our only hope.
We must protect nature and the Earth by every means, before it’s too late.
There is only one way to avoid becoming enslaved to machines. Look at everyone lost in their phones. That’s only the appetizer.
Introducing you to one of the best French sense of humor if you don’t know it well. I can’t stop laughing having seen it 200x youtu.be/Kf-tw00XZYk?si=r2rG…
Must Watch Bill Gates comments about AI instagram.com/reel/Dd6s503xX… cc @adeoressi that’s how I feel too.

CNBC just filmed a hedge fund where every employee is an AI agent.
Payroll: $40,000 a year, all 4 of them. His last team cost $5,000,000 and burned him out of the business.
Watch him introduce the staff.
> Houston runs the place.
> Doocey is the red team. His only job is to break every trade idea before money touches it.
> Steffi, yes, Steffi Graf, marks up the charts. >Desmond runs the quant strategies over the weekend.
The human kept one job. He calls it the meat in the chair. Pressing the button.
7 or 8 people in New York, Hong Kong and California could not cover a crypto market that trades at 3am.
4 bots do. He started them on Claude Opus 4.6 and they have not slept since. 10x the output, his number, not mine.
527,000 people watched this in 8 days. Your timeline skipped it.
His forecast for Wall Street, on camera: one hedge fund manager, 1 or 2 humans under him, a swarm of agents under them. And for himself: "Maybe someday old BK will just have to be at the beach"
A hedge fund manager wrote his investors a goodbye letter. The crypto market that never closes had broken him.
17 months later CNBC filmed his new fund. 4 AI agents, zero humans on payroll, $40,000 a year all in. Nobody in it sleeps.
The letter is still on X. 769 views.
You run the same f*cking shift he quit. Hyperliquid at 3am, a Bitcoin alert in bed. You just never had $5,000,000 of payroll to prove it wasn't working.
From the letter: "Markets that never close have taken a toll that I could only fully recognize once I paused."
From the CNBC clip: "If it's 3 in the morning and I have an idea, I can just ping them. I don't have to worry about waking somebody up in the middle of the night, which I may or may not have done in the past."
7 or 8 people in New York, Hong Kong and California. $5,000,000 a year. Could not cover 3am.
4 bots, started on Claude Opus 4.6. $40,000 a year. Never off. 10x the output, his number.
> Houston is mission control. Every bot reports to him.
> Steffi, yes, Steffi Graf, marks up the charts.
>Desmond runs the quant strategies over the weekend.
> Doocey is the red team. Every thesis gets attacked before a dollar moves. Two Sigma keeps 1,700 people on that job.
Behind them sits what he calls the corporate brain. Every trade, every email, every piece of research is a node, wired to everything else in the firm "almost like neurons".
"Take a staff of 100, you've got a staff of 1,000"
"I've talked to people working at big hedge funds now. They're doing something like this."
527,000 people watched his clip in 8 days. Brian Kelly kept one job in it. He calls it the meat in the chair.
The market still never closes. He just isn't the one awake for it anymore.
