  About AI and my art; if you’re just playing around with it alls fun and games. But if you’re seriously collaborating with it, directing it to adjust your sketches and paintings to fit your creative ideas & intuition, it keeps adding different unasked-for iterations. Talking with an AI is not like talking with a human. The thing hallucinates; or rather, it does not ‘Grok’ what I want. Humans have the ability to connect, that is, get your intentions, insights, and ideas, and they can do it quickly. I’m not saying that this happens between humans easily, or all the time. In fact there are plenty of times, especially when the creative intuition is operating at a high frequency, that many humans can’t get there. AI can produce quickly, but it’s directionless. Today I talked with one on PayPal. It said it could help me with most issues. Maybe it can, but only if it’s a problem solution in its memory, and you phrase it in just the right way to trigger that memorized response. Otherwise it’s very limited with what it can help you with. And it wasn’t able to help me with my issue; but a human operator was. I’d say that AI was not nimble or flexible intelligence. It’s quick data retrieval that mimics a fake flexible intelligence. Well, that’s my experience with it so far. Maybe, with practice, I’ll get better at using this as a tool, and forget about the idea that this an actual intelligence.

  Greetings everyone who hasn’t blocked or muted this account. @skoonrB here with an update. I was on the road all last week and the patches arrived while I was away from home, thus why I’m posting this update today. I received 155 patches, a mix of Ghost Dance, Scalper, Wind Talker and Dream Stalker. Much less than the 400+ subscribers. Some of you that are still here might actually want a patch, so the thought is if you were a Ghost Dance subscriber, comment below. In a week I will have Grok select 155 people and send them out, after cross referencing the subscriber list. To be fair if you want to enter for a patch then you should exclude yourself from requesting comms or kit, when and if we ever receive those. Radios are supposedly in route and those will go out to people that responded to the former post where people requested comms gear. We don’t have a clear number of how many there are but it will be made public once we get a count. Med kits, the only ones I know of are the two I have sent by anonymous person, those also will go out to two people on the Medicine Man list. Money. First transfer of funds has been sent to one of the members of former leadership. $3,769.16 was transferred to their PayPal account. This will be used for shipping of patches and comms gear / kit once received.  Once everything goes out any money left over will be split between several charities or organizations, to be decided by poll later. The subscriptions appear to have been cancelled last week, and from my understanding X and the party they use for payments hold the funds for up to three months. So three months from now we hopefully have all sent out and have our hands clean of this entire messy situation. Final note, all PII is on a secure Proton server and not held on any personal devices. Once all gear is sent out, all data will be deleted from the spreadsheets, then me and the other person who has access will delete our Proton accounts. ** Please just reply to this message if you were a subscriber and you want a patch. Thank you Bryan

  @BevJohnst Spam. But go to your Paypal account via a browser (don’t click any links) and check everything is ok. There’ll be a notification on the account if there really is a problem.

  @SandraaComEmily Hello, good evening/afternoon. I would love to accept your commission; however, I have a small issue. I do not have a PayPal account and only use GCash for payments. Unfortunately, this means I am unable to receive payment through PayPal. I hope you understand, and thank youfor-

  @shi_monalisa @PayPal Hi, Unfortunately while I'm not much up for conspiracies, You probably should've done a direct to card or bank transfer for your donations because apparently due to the Philippines having money laundering issues and general corrupt government, Paypal all but restricts any Pinoy+

  @AlanKohler @abcnews Alan, some factual errors here. SpaceX and Tesla were formed separately from the proceeds of Elon’s sale of PayPal. SpaceX didn’t rely on the original Tesla Roadster to get going. The point of satellites in space isn’t that they are closer to the sun, but that they can be permanently in sunlight and with no atmospheric energy losses the solar panels can produce ~5x what they can on Earth (there is no need for batteries in these orbits). And in the near 0 K temperature in the vacuum of space, the radiative cooling is effective and also free. Thirdly, I think most retail investors are purchasing shares for long-term holds, rather than short-term pump-and-dump.

  Rule #1: Reject the Store Credit Trap They will offer store credit first. Never accept it. The EU framework requires the refund to your original payment method within 14 days of them receiving the item back. If they claim "international card processing issues," demand a bank transfer or PayPal reversal. Store credit is a liability waiver dressed as kindness.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your patience!

  @horanera honestly i think it probably comes down to experience of knowing what tickets look like etc but obviously ask for screen recordings (check if the time matches current time) and screenshots of tickets/email and ONLY use paypal g&s (if they don’t wanna it’s a scam)

  @babadookspinoza It took Elon 24 years since selling PayPal to make one trillion dollars. In that time our government has overspent by 33 trillion dollars. The left doesn't even want to fix things anymore, they just want to punish people more successful than them. ***** in a bucket mentality.

  On the same day Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in human history New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani announced he wants to tax billionaires like Musk to fund his agenda. Here is what that argument misses entirely. Elon Musk did not inherit a trillion dollars. He built Zip2 from scratch. He reinvested into PayPal. He bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX when both were on the verge of collapse. He slept on factory floors. He nearly went bankrupt in 2008. He kept building when the world laughed at him. That is not luck. That is capitalism working exactly as intended. The idea that the moment someone succeeds the government’s first instinct should be to take more of what they earned is exactly why entrepreneurs leave high tax states and cities in the first place. New York is already losing residents faster than almost any state in America. Threatening to tax the people who create jobs and drive innovation is not a solution. It is the problem. Congratulations to Elon Musk. The first trillionaire. Built not given.

  @McFaul A person can INVEST a billion dollars. How do you think Elon was able to get SpaceX and Tesla up and running? It is hard to remember, but NO ONE was willing to take on the RISK in those ideas. Those Paypal billions could have gone down the drain. Lefties never think of risk.

  💀 Forget $XRP for a second. The token is already a dead argument: no serious payments volume has depended on this shitcoin for years. Look at the company. @Ripple’s entire pitch was that it would kill the old payment rails. It didn’t. It got buried by them. SWIFT was supposed to be the villain. Instead, SWIFT is still here, faster, upgraded, and now building its own blockchain-style ledger. It still connects 11,000+ institutions and settles most cross-border payments within an hour. Ripple never disrupted the giant. The giant absorbed the pitch, kept the clients, and moved on. The market Ripple wanted did get won. Just not by XRP. It was won by dollar stablecoins: Tether, Circle, PayPal, Stripe, etc. Same speed, lower friction, no XRP volatility, and a unit every finance team already understands: dollars. The money did not move into XRP. It moved around it. And Ripple knows it. That is the whole point of $RLUSD. The company that spent a decade telling retail XRP was the future of payments ended up shipping a dollar stablecoin to do the job XRP was supposed to do. Sit with that. Ripple did not find product-market fit for XRP. It replaced it. Slowly, politely, and with enough marketing fog that holders could pretend it was bullish. The partners figured this out years ago. The marquee names ran pilots, took the press release, and left. MoneyGram took the check and exited early. Banks tested the story, then built private ledgers or used rails that made more sense. After more than a decade, name one major institution that must use XRP for real volume because nothing else can do the job. You can’t. Because there isn’t one. So kill the slogans. Ripple picked a fight with SWIFT and lost. It picked a fight with stablecoins and lost. It tried to sell itself as the bank-friendly crypto rail, and the banks did not need it. The company is still alive because it has a mountain of XRP and one of the best marketing machines in crypto, not because it outcompetes anyone. XRP is not the future of money. It is the leftover inventory of a company that ran out of ways to win. Every XRP holder knows this deep down, but they’re trapped in their position because they didn’t sell this shitcoin near $3–4. FDV is now $ 124B. What is Ripple as a company, or the blockchain itself, actually doing to justify that valuation? Zombie.

  Looking good. No humidity sensor data. This was because I purposefully damaged sensor to simulate a component failure and if it would cause issues. Turns out, as expected, it does not. All other sensors stay online. We build these. This is what your SuperChats, channel memberships, PayPal tips, GoFundMe donations, etc go to. It's all right here.

  @FindleysFinance PayPal really doesn't need much growth at all to justify buying here. If they could just grow revenue by even 5% a year, it could be a solid investment. The company is almost trading all the way down at 1x sales.

  @Spybef0rey0ubuy People are trolling and underestimating Mr. Burry way too much these days. They forget no matter people's opinion he's still a legendary Investor, Trader, and Contrarian Analyst. ADBE is a solid business which might be misunderstood by the market now but in a year the picture will paint itself. I don't personally like PayPal. One time I transferred $800 to my friend in Australia while visiting, and they charged me $60-70 in fees for it... So, from that moment I knew this business has a deep problem, and this happened in 2023 so no wonder the downfall.

  Michael Burry is leaning into two hated tech names: $PYPL and $ADBE. The market has been attending PayPal’s funeral for years. But while everyone keeps calling the business dead, PayPal has been aggressively buying back its own stock. That matters. When sentiment is this negative and the company is retiring shares at scale, the setup can become very interesting if fundamentals simply stabilize. He also added to $ADBE, calling it an obvious deep-value opportunity. Adobe still has elite software margins, with gross margins near historical highs. The market is treating it like AI destroyed the business. But the numbers still look like one of the highest-quality software franchises in the world. This is classic Burry: buying hated names when the narrative is ugly, valuation is compressed, and the business is not nearly as broken as the market thinks. $PYPL $ADBE
