Jack Dorsey is a fiat Cuck. Cash App does not provide an automated low balance notification or alert feature as a standard, built-in option for all users. Unlike many traditional banks or other financial apps that offer customizable alerts when an account balance falls below a specified threshold, Cash App's notification system focuses primarily on transaction-specific events, security alerts, incoming/outgoing payments, and account activity rather than proactive low-balance warnings.

things that aren't intelligent at all." He specifically coined the term "Pretend Intelligence" (PI) as a counter to the marketing hype, arguing that calling LLMs "AI" endorses a false claim and encourages people to trust systems they shouldn't trust. He calls LLMs "generators" because they generate text without understanding what that text means, and make mistakes "without batting a virtual eyelash," meaning you can't trust anything they produce.

Stallman pointed to the real-world harm of people believing LLM output because they assume the system understands what it generated. He cited the example of a lawyer who asked a chatbot to provide relevant legal citations — and the chatbot invented plausible-looking references to non-existent cases. (https://techrights.org/n/2025/03/07/LLM_Slop_Versus_Richard_Stallman.shtml) He's particularly alarmed about LLM-generated content flooding the internet with low-quality, unverified text — what he and others call "slop" — degrading the overall quality of information on the web. His broader concern ties into his free software philosophy: if a program users don't control is doing their computing, it controls them. He urges people not to entrust their computing to systems whose operators aren't accountable to them. (https://techrights.org/n/2025/04/24/Richard_Stallman_Can_Explain_to_Oxford_Artificial_Intelligence_.shtml) He sees cloud-based AI as another vector for the centralized data surveillance he's always opposed — where user inputs, queries, and data flow to servers controlled by corporations with no user accountability. The short version of his position: LLMs are a sophisticated autocomplete dressed up in dangerous marketing language, and the real harm is that society is building trust in systems that don't understand, don't reason, and are controlled by entities with no loyalty to the user.

I'd rather eat raw meat than rotten meat. "For Tetanus, You Need Rotten Meat. That's How The Tetanus Vaccine Is Made, With Rotten Meat." Dr Suzanne Humphries Because Of This, The Vaccine Puts You At Risk For Prion Disease AKA Mad Cow Disease. Here Are 4 Truths That Everyone Should Know About Tetanus & The 'Vaccine.' 1⃣ Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine Manufacture: Beef Heart Infusion (BHI) is used as a culture medium to grow C. Tetani, the bacterium that produces tetanus toxin. The infusion is prepared by suspending minced beef heart in water & then heated to boiling. The heated putrid environment allows the tetanus toxin to grow. The tetanus toxin is then treated with formaldehyde to inactivate its pathogenic properties. But some toxoid preparations can still contain undesirable contaminants such as the Prion causing Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy also known as Mad Cow Disease. 2⃣ Tetanus (Clostridium Tetani) Is An Anaerobic Bacterial Spore: It resides in the intestinal tract of ruminant animals & in their feces. If your wound was not in an area where cattle, sheep or horses graze you will not get Tetanus. Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. The bacterial spore dies when it's oxygenated. Blood carries oxygen, so a bleeding wound that is cleaned thoroughly will not have living Tetanus spores. ✳️Tetanus does not live on knives or scissors in your kitchen. ✳️Tetanus does not live on nails you brought home from the hardware store. ✳️Tetanus does not live on the shards of glass that broke in your sink. ✳️Tetanus does not live on the wood splinter that entered your foot in your home. 3⃣ There Is No Single Tetanus Vaccine: The Tetanus vaccine was discontinued in 2012. When a Tetanus vaccine is given, it is actually the TDaP Vaccine, which is Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis. Doctors & Pharmacists do not disclose this fact when they administer a 'Tetanus Shot.' Those with milk & latex allergies are not given informed consent as to the milk casein & latex used in the production of TDaP. Many cases of fatal anaphylaxis are caused by this. 4⃣ The Tetanus Shot Will Not Help An Active Tetanus Infection: It takes a minimum of 3 weeks & possibly up to 8 weeks to build antibodies from the Tetanus vaccine within TDaP. An active injury & Tetanus infection will not be helped at all by getting vaccinated. It is pointless to get the shot & harmful side effects are well known from TDaP. Actual Tetanus bacterial infection is rare. In the US there are less than 30 cases annually. And the risk of dying from Tetanus is 1 in 44 million. The good news is, Tetanus as C. Tetani, is easily treated & eradicated from the body: *⃣ 1 Gram of Vitamin C (whole acerola complex) per day for 5-7 days kills the Tetanus bacterial spores. As shown in clinical trials as 100% reversal with no fatalities when Vitamin C is used as prevention & treatment for Tetanus bacterial infection.

I saw this from ritrek at the Bitcoin++ conference in Taipei. The RITREK app allows one to pre-sign transactions to move your Bitcoin to a secondary wallet, via 2 transactions with a timelock between them (so that even if something leaks and the first pre-signed transaction is broadcast against your will, you have many days to move the Bitcoin elsewhere before the second transaction can be mined). It's now live on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ritrek.app For example, the first wallet can be your hardware wallet + a passphrase, and the second wallet the same hardware wallet without a passphrase. Then if you lose the passphrase, or something happens to you and your family wants to access the Bitcoin, you/they can broadcast the transactions.

One thing about Johnny Carson's interviews, is he doesn't rush them. They lasted awhile, and it wasn't always about just promoting the current thing that the guest was promoting. He would have a lot of fun with them. In this one, the interview started off slow and awkward. But by the end everyone is howling with laughter. This kind of charm would not come across today.
