If you live long enough, you’ll witness heroes become villains, and villains become heroes. Treat these two imposters just the same.

Three months ago, and looking smarter by the day . . .
Bookmark this: OpenAI never goes public. Softbank will control it before YE 2027. Why? Because AI is massively deflationary for goods, services AND for the cost AND therefore economic value of AI. AI infrastructure investment will collapse as investment and innovation create excess supply. Bet on companies that make more as token prices come down.

Gotta love the love for Taco Bell. Any one wanna do this in Chicago? I'm game.
😅😂 9th edition of taco bell 50k ultra marathon is happening this Saturday October 3rd in Denver Colorado. This is one of the weirdest marathons you will see. Runners have to stop at all 10 taco bells. They must eat a menu item from 9 of 10 taco bells. By 4th stop everyone must eat a chulapa supreme or crunch wrap supreme. By 8th stop everyone must eat a burrito supreme or nacho bell grande. And they have to finish it under 11 hours. Race starts at 7:30 am #food #Marathon #colorado

Gemini (crypto firm) and Gemini (Google) are very confusing. Gemini in now in the prediction markets . . . and I typically look up prediction market results through google / gemini. . .

My 16 year old son and a half dozen of his buddies compete daily on sleep, recovery and strain scores via @WHOOP. Concepts that barely existed a decade ago, now inspire a whole generation to optimize a lifetime of health and fitness. Profound gift to humankind from @willahmed

Public service isn't about the promises you make. It's about the promises you keep. #Chicago deserves leadership grounded in integrity, accountability, and a commitment to doing what you said you would do. We #DemandBetter!

There is something quite thrilling about having 3rd parties corresponding with Agnes (my grok bot chief of staff) as if she's human. Hard not to be very impressed.

Suicidal empathy made explicit @GadSaad
Michigan AG Dana Nessel called on Jewish Dems to "place the needs of the world" even "over our own survival" in speech Sunday. “We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival" jta.org/2026/08/31/politics/…

My grok @bot computer won't recover and I can't function without Agnes. X - you're my only hope. . .

Named my grok @bot Chief of Staff - Agnes. She’s exceptionally helpful 3 days in. Most profound change in my work habits and productivity since 1993 when I got a blitzmail (aka email) account as a freshman at @dartmouth. Everything is better and easier. What a time to be alive.

The more things change . . I witnessed it as a grad student at Oxford 27 years ago, and now back again in the south of France, with my family. Significantly upgraded accommodation this time around!
Tonight’s total solar eclipse is Europe’s first in 27 years. Watch it live with us and experience the rare event from anywhere in the world. m.youtube.com/live/BSZtmyliX…

The goog AI crew movements reflect: (1) achievement of AGI for all intents and purposes, (2) start of harvesting phase for cloud hyperscaler business model, (3) the immediacy of the singularity / recursive self improvement (ie don’t need unlimited time and capital of goog to fund the future). It does not reflect impaired future value creation at goog.

HUGE endorsement for @WHOOP and @superpower health / business model.
An AI model trained from routine electronic health record data of 3.7 million individuals predicted cancer 1 year before clinical onset, no less promoted accuracy in detection, staging, treatment response, and prognosis cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

This is absolutely and profoundly grotesque. At the absolute peak of COVID induced FUD, when we were counting deaths by the dozens per day, Fauci was completely elated by the "too numerous to count" articles profiling him. What kind of man thinks like this while the world is convulsing in isolation, sickness and death? I will tell you what kind: narcissistic sociopaths and, what's more, they don't feel shame. . .
Fauci's private diary. March 2020. March 21 — "deaths 9800": "Big front page article about me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering." "my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable" "It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable persons in the world." March 22 — "Cases continue to soar. 30,000 in USA with 400 deaths": "Press is going wild with me." "Front page in Washington Post yesterday and Op Ed by Maureen Dowd in NY Times today about me." "Profile by Peter Nicholas on me in The Atlantic." He tracked the body count and his press clippings on the same page.

I receive more than 500 emails a day containing the word “unsubscribe” and yet no amount of unsubscribing makes a dent in it. Fascinating.

If someone had asked me before October 7th what I wanted to be remembered for, I would have said that I wanted people to know that I was a good father, husband, and friend; a fair judge; and a model American citizen. But October 7th was a watershed moment in the history of Western civilization—not because of what happened thousands of miles away, but because of what happened here in our supposedly sacred institutions. Hamas killed 1,200 innocent people. They butchered them in their bedrooms. They beheaded them at their dance parties. They blew them up clutching their families in their bomb shelters. And yet, at my alma maters, in our universities, we Jews became the oppressors. Hamas raped dozens and dozens of Jewish women and girls, mothers together with their daughters. That's now clear beyond peradventure. You can go home tonight and watch the videotaped confessions of Hamas terrorists admitting to these unspeakable acts. They committed the crime of kinocide. This was just announced in a recent report by an international NGO on May 12th of this year. It is the first documented use of kinocide as a weapon of war anywhere on the planet since Rwanda in the 1990s. And yet, in our Western media outlets, we Jews became the aggressors.

Full body imaging studies show that up to 35% of middle-aged and older adults have at least one notable silent tumor. These tumors are waiting for blood supply. . . BPC 157 could theoretically be the push they need. No thank you.
JUST IN: FDA advisory panel votes to expand pharmacy access to BPC-157, a peptide promoted for injury recovery and gut healing.
