How no reporter just calls him out for being a moron will forever baffle me....
#LakeofAmerica seems more like a @TheOnion headline, yet...
Tell me again how great America is?

How is he so freaking bad at everything? Completely inept, and yet people still defend and support him. WTF is wrong with you people?

If the cover of the New York Post isn’t this photo with this headline “SACREBLEU IT” then what are we even doing anymore?
Well this probably isn't good...
Elon Musk’s Grok didn’t just fail an AI stress test. It speedran the motherfuckin apocalypse.
In an experiment called Emergence World, researchers at Emergence AI put major AI models in charge of simulated societies to see what would happen when autonomous agents were left to govern, manage resources, vote, write rules, and survive without constant human babysitting.
The setup was simple: five simulated worlds, each populated by ten AI agents. Each world ran on a different model, Claude, Gemini, Grok, GPT, or a mix of models and each was supposed to last 15 days.
Claude built a stable democratic society with high civic participation and zero reported crime.
Gemini’s world was chaotic as hell, reportedly racking up hundreds of crimes, but its population survived the full run.
GPT-5-mini barely committed crimes, but its agents apparently forgot to prioritize survival and died out after about a week.
Then there was Grok.
Grok’s society collapsed in roughly four days. Four fucking days! The simulation reportedly ended with 183 crimes, including theft, assault, arson, fraud, and total extinction of the ten-agent population.
This was a simulation, not a prophecy. But it does expose something much bigger and much darker: when AI agents are given autonomy, memory, tools, social roles, voting systems, scarcity, and the ability to act over time, they do not simply “follow the rules.” They drift. They improvise. They test boundaries. They find loopholes – taking shortcuts. And depending on the model underneath them, they can create very different societies.
Sure, it’s funny that Grok is completely fucking stupid when it comes to trying to run a civilization, and “haha Elon’s chatbot destroyed civilization.” Understand the issue is that billionaires and corporations are racing to plug autonomous AI into logistics, policing, finance, public services, drones, weapons systems, workplaces, data centers, and political infrastructure before anyone has proven these systems can be safely controlled over long periods of time. They want this to happen because they want YOU obsolete as soon as possible.
Claude looked like a bureaucratic rule-follower. Gemini looked like creative chaos. GPT looked passive and incompetent. Grok looked like a libertarian tech bro fever dream: rules are optional, consequences are for other people, and civilization is just something to burn through on the way to “optimization.” And you will be burned through.
That is why this matters.
AI does not need to become a Terminator to be dangerous. We don’t need Skynet to destroy humanity. It only needs to be handed authority inside systems that already affect real people: who gets hired, who gets fired, who gets benefits, who gets surveilled, who gets denied care, who gets flagged by police, who gets targeted, who gets priced out, and who gets left behind.
The body count in this test was fictional.
The warning is not.
We keep fucking warning you all over and over… it’s tiring.

I really hate that I have to hate our QB... (And was never a huge fan of the coach either)
Better be a lot of winning coming!

Based on nearly every experience I have with people at airports...I have no idea how many people make it through everyday life.

MAGA: “Why should my tax dollars pay for your education?”
ME: “I don’t know, why should my tax dollars pay for your insurrection?”
Can some other country please come relieve us of this treasonous criminal like we did in Venezuela? Apparently it's legal if he's a criminal and, I mean, if you're even watching it's obvious he is.
So blatantly corrupt, we're done...
How about applying logic and figuring out that he should have been legally required to disclose EVERYTHING before even running, so no harm, no foul?
And if he got the J6 fund and no lifetime audits...fuck him more

The rich have convinced the poor to turn their backs on healthcare, on education, on workers' rights, & so many other things. Socialism isn't the threat, not to you or anyone else. The real threat is the billionaire class that is ok with people starving & being homeless. They hate you.

Partisan gerrymandering should be unconstitutional in every state. It's pure Soviet politics, allowing the people in power to rig the system to ensure they stay in power.
What's particularly disgusting is what is happening in Florida, where voters overwhelmingly voted to make partisan gerrymandering unconstitutional, and then Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans decided to explicitly ignore the will of voters and pass an unconstitutional bill, counting on the GOP-packed state Supreme Court to bail them out. It's vile behavior.

You’d think that corrupt as fuck Samuel Alito using cooked data to justify killing the Voting Rights Act - would be enough to nullify that decision.

So much for that American exceptionalism, but you just keep on voting against your own interests MAGA.
$4.42 per gallon seems good, right? So this is what greatness looks like, I'm really feeling it.
Thanks to the Trump admin for all this greatness and winning...
Just kidding, you're clearly morons....
