When you hear someone saying AI is dumb, remember that you get out what you put in
when my wife uses chatgpt when our kids are sick it’s always like “i would not watch this at home. your child needs to be seen by a pediatrician” when i use it, it’s like “the probability of a more serious issue based on local epidemiological data is 0.1-0.2%”

I've suggested this before. Musk could accrue immense good will by founding XUniversity, a STEM academy that acts as an employment funnel for SpaceX, Tesla, the Boring Company, xAI, etc. Purely meritocratic admissions, no DEI, no leftist ideological indoctrination. Natural side benefit of an interdisciplinary research campus, with Musk's companies having access to resulting parents. Adopt a military academy tuition model. Graduates are contractually obligated to work for one of Musk's companies for a minimum 4-year period, in which case tuition is free. If they drop out, fail out, or refuse to work for Musk, they pay full ride tuition. This would cut out the university cartel completely, and build up a large and loyal cadre of young technical professionals.
Replying to @martianwyrdlord
I basically proposed that @elonmusk should do more or less exactly this but for SpaceX. It solves several issues at once. 1. Current universities are increasingly ideologically captured and produce Woke Priests as opposed to technical expertise. There is therefore increasingly a gap in the market. 2. Current high net worth individuals are routinely criticized for not building institutions that benefit the public good beyond whatever benefits their corporations provide. The comparison is usually drawn to things like Carnegie Hall. Founding a University that can replicate the former elite status of the Ivy League address these criticisms. 3. Curriculum can be tailored to the very particular and specific needs of SpaceX, xAI, etc. ensuring a stable pipeline of new qualified talent. 4. It additionally contributes to the personal prestige of the founder to the degree they care about this. I'd suggested that instructors could be pulled directly from the relevant engineering teams (or could make a nice place to soft-retire) and graduates could have privileged access to hiring at these institutions. It just seems like good business sense to me to invest in something like this.

I keep saying it because it cannot be repeated enough. The Palestine flag is the flag of the Islamo-leftist revolutionary movement and it does not give a solitary fuck about Palestinians or Palestine. It is anti-West, anti-capitalist and anti-civilisation, and if you are seeing it anywhere on the streets of Europe then you are looking at the enemy. We must treat it as such and apply whatever force is necessary to stomp it into the dirt.

Mark Zuckerberg told Trump Meta would spend $600 billion through 2028. He said wasting $200 billion would be less dangerous than arriving three years late. A few days later, he was asked the obvious question: what if AI is a bubble? Zuckerberg did not deny it. Railroads and internet fiber attracted too much money. Companies borrowed billions, built faster than demand grew, and collapsed. The infrastructure survived. Someone else bought it for almost nothing. Meta is preparing for the same possibility. Nobody knows whether superintelligence is three years away, five years away, or longer. If Meta builds for three and needs five, it may waste hundreds of billions of dollars. But if Meta prepares for five years and AI arrives in three, Zuckerberg believes the company could miss the most important technology shift in history. The difference is that Meta can survive being early. Its existing business already makes enough money to fund the buildout. OpenAI and Anthropic still depend on investors continuing to fund theirs. Zuckerberg is not spending $600 billion because he knows exactly when AI will arrive. He is spending it so Meta cannot arrive late. Would you risk $200 billion—or risk being three years behind?

Immigration was a massive mistake. It must be corrected, whatever the cost.
🇫🇷 Fifty universities and several dozen high schools are currently closed across France. A new report cites at least 500 arrests and 50 wounded police officers outside Paris. All 96 French departments have reported at least one school incident. The protests have now spread across the whole country. x.lingyaoai.com/f3normandie/status/210…

Nick Timothy writes to the Justice Secretary following my revelations.
Tan Ikram is the Deputy Chief Magistrate. He is linked to an organisation that dismissed the rape gangs as the “so-called grooming gangs”. I have written to the Justice Secretary to ask for an investigation.

EXCLUSIVE: Tan Ikram, deputy chief magistrate, is an adviser to a Pakistani organisation that referred to “so-called ‘grooming gangs’” and called Suella Braverman’s comments about British-Pakistani gangs “reprehensible”. My investigation reveals: • He targeted Bradford to encourage Pakistani lawyers to become judges: “[Bradford has] lots and lots of Pakistani practitioners… I specifically went there to reach out to that particular group of lawyers.” • He is listed as an adviser to the British Pakistan Foundation, which attacked Braverman over her grooming-gang comments and condemned the “collective punishment of the Palestinians” following October 7. Ikram spared three women punishment for a terrorism offence involving paraglider images. • Grooming gang survivor Fiona Goddard called his association with the foundation “deeply concerning”, asking: “Why is a senior judge connected to such a partisan group?” • He helped organise a meeting between judges and senior imams at the Old Bailey. • He sits on the Judicial Appointments Commission and has helped edit the guidance judges use on race and cultural differences. • He said he used his ethnicity as “a bit of an advantage” in his legal career. He also said his mother “today doesn’t really speak English”, despite coming to Britain in the early 1960s. I’ve examined his speeches, interviews, links to Pakistani and Muslim groups and rulings.

🚨 NEW: Labour’s nature minister has called the picture of Britain as warm ale, a country pub and a black Labrador a “far-Right” fantasy that “never really existed”. • Jenny Riddell-Carpenter told a Labour conference in Liverpool she "lies awake" fearing the next election will be fought on rural life and that “the far-Right” will decide what it looks like. She said that vision would be “warm ale, a black Labrador by your feet in a pub that doesn’t exist” and described it as “a very far-Right nostalgic vision of Britain that we don’t want to have.” • She was made nature minister in July and is MP for Suffolk Coastal. She said Labour must set out its own “progressive vision for the countryside.”

Did you know the Netherlands has its own version of the Rotherham rapes and the terms used to cover them up are arguably worse? What British reports called “Asian grooming gangs”, Dutch police, media and government routinely call “loverboy networks.” The term, in a sick and twisted way, sounds almost romantic. But what it really is, is a network of predominantly Moroccan men, who operate in a systematic way, nation wide. Their MO is to isolate a girl from family and friends, then pushes her into sex with others and into prostitution. Don’t believe me? Here’s the official state website referring to it:

So if AI is a bubble because the capex outweighs possible revenue, and we aren't yet being charged the true cost to use it, then everything hangs on bringing down the true cost. They're going to figure it out.

I’ve been warning about the spike in diesel prices, followed by shortages of supply, for several weeks now. Especially if Trump goes along with an export ban. A third of the diesel we import is from America, which is the world’s biggest diesel exporter (1.5m b/d). There are no alternative sources of supply. A US export ban would throw us into recession by Christmas. The economy, from farm machinery to road haulage, is powered by diesel.
The UK currently holds only 42 days of diesel in its emergency stockpiles. While the UK stands at just 42 days, countries like Italy hold 347 days, the USA has 677 days and Canada and Japan maintain over 1,000 days of supply. In the early 2000s, Britain held over 100 days of diesel reserves. However, as major domestic oil refineries closed down over the years, the country's massive storage tanks disappeared with them, leaving the UK heavily reliant on just-in-time imports. That is the jeopardy facing every supermarket shelf, every hospital delivery, every harvest, every bin collection and every freight train that still keeps Britain functioning. And the system that supplies that fuel security has been allowed to grow dangerously thin. Meanwhile the UK’s ability to make that fuel itself has been dismantled. From eighteen refineries in the 1970s to nine at the turn of the century, Britain is now down to just four: Domestic demand already exceeded refining capacity before those closures. The gap is filled by imports - more than half of the diesel that goes into British tanks. This has happened through a long succession of terrible government choices and neglect that treated energy security as an afterthought. Carbon costs were loaded onto plants that operate here, while higher-carbon fuel could be imported without equivalent burden. Almost every government over the past 20 years helped to create this looming crisis. Diesel is the engine room of the economy. And successive governments have allowed the tanks to run towards empty. Shameful.

What is a Spanish plane that doesn’t fly to the UK doing at a UK airport with coaches waiting alongside? 🤔
Community note
AlbaStar is a Spanish charter airline that operates ad-hoc flights to UK airports such as London Gatwick; coaches are standard for group transfers on charter flights. The claim it "doesn’t fly to the UK" refers only to scheduled services and ignores charters. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlbaStar flight-status.com/albastar/ap-13… theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/f… jcwi.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

A few people have attempted to convince me this week that @TRobinsonNewEra and @RealDannyTommo are grifting over this whole thing. But I judge on results. Certainly, a bunch of black clad lads showing up at Portsmouth put the hits up the establishment, to the extend that they have quadrupled security around dinghy migrant operations, and we can see that the police are on high alert. This is costing them and eating into their budgets. As to Tommo puncturing a boat, the establishment response tells us a lot, and further exposes the two tier justice dynamic. It will also have operational consequences because Tommo has sent a clear message that members of the public have the means to go one further. This time it was an empty boat. Next time, who knows? This has the Guardianistas quaking in their boots. It's comical because they think this is a frightening rise of the far right. It shows how parochial they are. They evidently don't look at fringe politics on the continent. They have an actual far right and they really aren't fucking around. The British version is tame by contrast. But with just two or three operations, DT has made a very serious statement and the vibe shift is palpable. Best of all, nobody got hurt, and DT is facing a relatively trivial charge. Shutting down RNLI operations was the icing on the cake. It takes guts to put something on the line like that. I was very taken by something TR said the other day. Prison is spirit crushing, as is the legal process (which is at least half of the punishment). If we want people to put something on the line, then we do have to have their backs. They do need a decent legal defence they can trust. And the best part about it, nobody is forcing you to contribute. If you don't approve or you think it's a grift, you don't have to donate. To my mind, in the last three weeks, DT has accomplished more than the last three big TR jamborees put together, and there are now plenty of men standing ready to assemble when the moment calls for it. It has my compete backing and I am looking forward to seeing what they do next. I wish I had half their influence because I have ideas of my own on how to fuck with the system. There is now no doubt in anyone's mind that the government has fuck all intention of stopping the boats, and will continue to distribute dangerous illegal immigrants into our communities. They have made it quite clear they hold us in contempt, and we are obliged to remind them that it cuts both ways. DT is right that it does have to be non-violent and disciplined, and rioting isn't going to achieve very much. DT is establishing techniques that can be replicated elsewhere, so that independent cells can cause disruption without even having to break the law. Forcing them to deploy a massive police escort for migrant buses is terrible optics for the regime, and we can force them to have to escort every bus every time we get wind of migrant movements. We can make the entire operation expensive and unsustainable and reduce the effectiveness of the police - and force them to spend a fortune on surveillance and OpSec. A successful protest is one that forces authorities to deploy resources in ways they don't want to. I think we're way past voting and TR's family friendly jamborees in London. It doesn't work. We have no option but to up the ante, and if you're unable to participate, either show your support or just stay out of the way. Or better still, show us how it's done otherwise. I'm all ears.

Let's not be too hasty on this. "Hello, I'd like to apply for asylum" "Are you aware of the requirements?" "Ah. I'm gonna head back to France." "Ok bye." She might be on to something.
