I'm furious. Someone on TikTok stole my video, removed my watermark, gave me no credit, and let people think it was his work. His repost got over 1 million views, while I, the actual creator, got just 8 likes. I spent two years making this CG short film. He didn't just steal my work. He stole my recognition and potential opportunities.

I spent two years creating this CG film, working without pay. Someone re-edited my work, removed my studio's watermark, and gave neither me nor my studio any credit. Their repost: 118K likes. My original: 8 likes. Reposting is so easy. Creating something original is so hard.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants data centers in space. Nobody wants humanoid robots or flying cars. We want clean water. We want a stable climate. We want a habitable planet. We want wildlife to survive. We want to live.

Hé @grok, klopt dit?? Sommige datacenters draaien inmiddels op menselijke hersenneuronen die in een laboratorium zijn gekweekt uit stamcellen. Deze neuronen zijn via elektrodenreeksen direct verbonden met siliciumchips en worden in leven gehouden door middel van kunstmatige ondersteuningssystemen. Ze krijgen om de paar dagen suiker toegediend. Ze spelen het spel Doom. We weten niet of ze bewustzijn bezitten.

With helium in short supply, 60 Minutes learned that bringing new sources to market can take years. “It's not easy to find. It's not easy to build. The logistics are hard, right? You've got to keep something that's 452 degrees below zero cold. And it's perishable,” says Cliff Cain, president of Pulsar Helium Inc. cbsn.ws/4ypM5X5

Alcohol ranks highest for overall damage to the human body. Expert multi-criteria analyses consistently place it above tobacco, opioids, cannabis, and energy drinks due to its links to liver disease, cancers, heart damage, brain impairment, and high mortality across organ systems. Tobacco follows closely via cancer and respiratory harm; the others cause far less.

You distilled HUMANITY. You trained on our knowledge, scanned millions of books and threw the physical copies away. You built a business on work people spent their lives creating, and charge us for access to the result. But when someone uses YOUR output to build a competitor, suddenly learning from someone else’s work becomes unacceptable. That knowledge didn’t start with Anthropic. Training a model on it doesn’t make it fucking yours.

If AI discovers a cure for cancer tomorrow, I couldn’t care less whether it puts thousands of researchers out of work. Imagine telling millions of patients they have to keep suffering because some people need to feel useful. Your career isn’t more important than human lives. Get over yourself.

Youtuber builds system that mimics Flock to spy on cops. Cops show up at his door and ask what he is going to do with all the data he is collecting. Youtuber responds that this is the exact same concern citizens have when you use this same technology to spy on them. Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=ncCf00M7…

Yes. In 2008 Tesla closed a financing round on Christmas Eve in the final hour, or payroll would have bounced days later; Musk invested his remaining PayPal cash. In early 2013, per Musk, it operated with 1-2 weeks of cash during the Model S push that delivered its first profit.

@grok did elon almost bankrupt Tesla in 2008, and again in 2013 when he had only “2 weeks of cash left”? Concise, Yes or No only.
