I'm now down to 663 followers; my new goal is 600. I'm sure I can reach this by the end of the year.
I made it! Down from 700. I wonder if I can get back to 600 by posting more Tesla news. 😆

Replying to @Tesla
@Tesla FSD is extremely impressive. It detected a reckless street racer crossing into oncoming traffic on a blind corner near Big Basin Way on SR 9 and avoided what could have been a disaster. I had my two young kids in the car. @elonmusk

I think I'll buy another Tesla to increase my neighbors’ blood pressure.

Doctors, attorneys, tax advisers, notaries, consultants, and many other professionals may soon face a significant challenge. When clients arrive already familiar with the details, only to discover that a professional has addressed only some of them or provided incomplete solutions, the professional may face a crisis of identity and trust. AI will change how clients and patients use services, or they may stop using them altogether. It doesn't just threaten the business model of professionals. It challenges the traditional relationship between expertise, authority and trust. A fundamental shift will happen.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates. Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term. In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!” For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films. Happy Halloween 2026.

Wer sein Parquet-Portfolio an Grok @Bot senden möchte, kann Grok beauftragen, eine Datei zu erstellen, die er anschließend an den Bot weiterleitet. Das hat zumindest bei mir so funktioniert.

Ladies & Gentlemen, we have managed to get the @EUCouncil ' EU Inc files. The ones that matter. The ones where we see the position of Each Member state: including who pushed the notaries' agenda. Buckle up and Repost. 🍿 Now if you are from those Member States, make some noise. Directly or through associations, politicians. Enjoy the thread 🧵 1/

❗️ Lenovo's ThinkPlus FU100 fingerprint stick was marketed as "hardware encrypted" with AES-256, but inside was an ordinary SD card with nothing encrypted. The fingerprint only switched on the USB link, researcher Xusheng Li found. Lenovo's stopgap fix covered the card in epoxy.

My plan is to post so many Tesla things that I get back to 666 followers. Down from nearly 700. 😂 🤷🏻‍♂️

it's no substitute for a real memory, but it can be cathartic to step into old photos with Genie 4, especially with family members that are no longer around. here’s a favorite memory with my mom: late-night beach walks back home in puerto rico, dipping our feet in the water.

‼️ EU governments approved a GDPR change to let companies train AI on Europeans' personal data without consent. It makes AI training a possible "legitimate interest", judged case by case. Parliament must still agree. Max Schrems calls it a "digital expropriation" of Europeans.

Your son is 14. He wants to download a game his friends are playing. The app asks for a face scan to verify his age. You are told it is to keep him safe. You hold the phone while he looks into the camera. His face is now in a database. Tied to his name. Tied to every account he opens. For the rest of his life. Years later, that profile decides what he can access. What he can say. What he can buy. You did not protect him. You helped enroll him. This is what online child safety laws are building. A digital ID for every person, starting with our children. Share this with a parent who thinks age verification is harmless. Follow me. Every day I show you what is coming and how to stop it.
