#BREAKING: @elonmusk and Tucker Carlson on the dangers of AI - ongoing interview

(LIVE thread) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Musk says he's worried a hyper-intelligent AI could use Twitter to "manipulate public opinion a way that is very bad"
Top tech minds called @elonmusk a "speciesist" when he expressed his concerns around AI risks to humanity.

A speciesis "is the human-held belief that all other animal species are inferior" 🤦‍♂️😂
@mentions@elonmusk #LIVE: Google co-founder Larry Page once told Musk he wants to build a "Digital God" using A.I.
Musk: "What's happening is that they're training the AI to lie" and to withhold information. /5
Musk: "The smartest creatures on this earth are humans. It is our defining characteristic. Now what happens when something vastly smarter than the smartest person comes along in silicon form. It's very difficult to predict what will happen in that circumstance." /6
Musk on Twitter: At the end of the day, if the public finds Twitter to be useful they will use it more, if they find it to be not useful they will use it less.

Based on the growth metrics we're seeing, it seems the vote is YES for more and more people 😎 /7
#LIVE: @elonmusk talking about creating ThruthGPT: "I will try to create a third option, and that third option, hopefully, does more good than harm." /8
@mentions@elonmusk Musk: "I didn't vote for Trump. I actually voted for Biden. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate."

"I would prefer, frankly, that we put just a normal person for president."

Not sure how people can call @elonmusk a conservative... /9
@mentions@elonmusk LIVE: @elonmusk shocked by the unfettered access Gov agencies had to everything on Twitter, including people's DMs.

Scary shit...

For anyone who was keeping up with the #TwitterFiles, this should not come as a surprise.

The good news: Encrypted msgs are coming to Twitter! /10
Musk: The goal of Twitter is to be as fair and even-handed as possible, not favoring any ideology

Tucker: Why doesn't Facebook do this?

Musk: Zuckerberg spent $400m in the last election in support of the Democrats, is that accurate?

Tucker: Yes that's accurate

Musk: Does that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Musk reduced the Twitter staff size by 80%

Tucker: "How do you run a company with only 20% of the staff?

Musk: It turns out you don't need all that many people to run Twitter. /12

Love him or hate him, he knows how to run a business. I'm inspired to start cutting my own… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
My thoughts on the interview: I'm always the one trying to keep my opinions balanced, never kissing up to Elon and even being critical in many instances. However it's difficult to disagree with much of what is said today.

Here's a very basic summary of the key points and my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

BREAKING: Google just introduced AI Co-Scientist—a multi-agent AI system powered by Gemini 2.0 to act as a virtual scientific collaborator.🤖

It can generate novel hypotheses, assist in research proposals, and accelerate biomedical discoveries like never before.

Here’s Everything you need to know.👇Image
1. The AI Co-Scientist is a multi-agent AI system designed to help scientists with research. Built on Gemini 2.0, it follows the scientific method to generate new ideas. Unlike regular research tools, it goes beyond summarizing and reviewing literature.

It can discover original insights, create new research hypotheses, and develop proposals based on existing evidence and specific research goals.
2. Advancing Scientific Discovery with the AI Co-Scientist

The AI Co-Scientist helps scientists by generating new research hypotheses, detailed study overviews, and experimental plans based on natural language inputs.

It uses a team of specialized AI agents—Generation, Reflection, Ranking, Evolution, Proximity, and Meta-Review—designed to follow the scientific method.

These agents work together through automated feedback loops, continuously improving and refining hypotheses to produce high-quality, innovative research ideas.Image

🚨🇪🇺PATRIOT FILES LEAK: THE LEFT’S PLAN TO CANCEL EU CONSERVATIVES AND DESTROY DEMOCRACY

New documents EXPOSE a secret EU plot to fracture and destroy the rising right-wing movement in Europe, specifically targeting @PatriotsEP - the fastest-growing conservative party in the EU, led by Orban, Le Pen, and Vox.

With the MEGA movement surging and a global shift fueled by Trump’s second term & @elonmusk’s fight for free speech, the elites are PANICKING.

They know their days of unchecked power are numbered.

🧵A THREAD:Image
1. The EU’s “Democratic” Facade Is A Lie

The leaked strategy outlines a deliberate plan to shut conservatives out of power. Left-wing forces are determined to rig parliamentary votes, silence opposition, and weaponize institutions to protect their agenda. Image
2. "A Menace That Cannot Be Ignored"

The document describes @PatriotsEP as a threat that must be stopped at all costs. The left no longer sees conservatives as opponents—they see them as an enemy to be eradicated. Image

🧵OPERATION DOGE: 31 DIVISIONS REWIRING FEDERAL EFFICIENCY

DOGE, established by Trump and led by Elon, is a temporary organization under the United States Digital Service.

Its mission is to audit federal agencies, reduce government spending, eliminate inefficiencies, and restructure operations.

Since its inception, DOGE has initiated significant reforms across various federal departments, aiming to streamline processes and cut costs.

DOGE currently includes 31 divisions organized across 6 core sectors:

Financial Operations (5 divisions): IRS, Treasury, SEC, SBA, Commerce

Security & Justice (6 divisions): DOJ, DHS, DOD, FBI, FEMA, Coast Guard

Infrastructure & Transportation (4 divisions): DOT, FAA, FCC, GSA

Health & Social Services (5 divisions): HHS, VA, SSA, HUD, Education

Environmental & Resources (6 divisions): Interior, EPA, DOE, USDA, NPS, NSF

Administrative & Oversight (5 divisions): OMB, OPM, DOL, FTC, FDA

Let's dive into how each DOGE division can revolutionize federal operations.

1. DOGE GSA: BRINGING INNOVATION TO GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS

The General Services Administration manages government buildings, real estate, and procurement to support federal agencies efficiently.

DOGE GSA could transform the agency by:

Streamlining real estate and cutting costs by reducing federal leases.
Implementing AI-driven procurement and supply chain optimization.
Expanding shared services across agencies to eliminate redundancy.

2. DOGE STATE: MODERNIZING DIPLOMACY AND GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT

🇺🇸THE CRAZIEST THINGS USAID SPENT YOUR TAX DOLLARS ON—A THREAD

USAID was supposed to fund development and humanitarian aid.

Instead, millions of your tax dollars went to some of the most bizarre, wasteful, and outright questionable projects imaginable.

From foreign DEI programs to taxpayer-funded operas, here’s where your money really went🧵👇Image
Image
1. 🇮🇶$20M ON IRAQI SESAME STREET

USAID spent $20M on Ahlan Simsim, a Middle Eastern Sesame Street spin off.

2. 🇮🇪THE $70,000 DEI MUSICAL YOUR TAXES FUNDED IN IRELAND

Biden’s State Department sent $70,000 to fund a "diversity, equity, and inclusion" musical in Ireland—because apparently, pushing woke ideology overseas was a priority.

The grant was meant to promote "shared U.S.-Irish values" through a live theater performance.

Meanwhile, Americans were dealing with record inflation and skyrocketing costs at home.

Why was the U.S. ever paying for a DEI musical in Ireland to begin with?Image
