I'm on X to foster effective exchanges of ideas by challenging beliefs with sensitivity and respect. This has upset some people.

1/ In U.S. v. Rahimi, the US Supreme Court kills the history & tradition test penned only 2 years earlier in NYSR&PA v Bruen to answer 'yes' to the question: is 18 U. S. C. §922(g)(8)--which prohibits guns to those subject to a domestic violence restraining order--constitutional?

It appears MSNBC gave Alex Pretti a tan, a stronger jawline, better teeth, shorter forehead, and a nose job to make him look hotter for the AWFLs. They broadened his shoulders, thickened his neck, and gave him biceps.

The right using anti 2A terms frequently used by the left is the gayest shit ever. Hearing right wing dudes use “high capacity” “military style” “3 MAGAZINES?!?!” and others to argue is massively massively bad for 2A rights as a whole. Be better. I carry with with 3 mags

Ignore the Antifa “pro-2A” accounts working overtime to justify violence against law enforcement. No one is buying it, and we will restore law and order on American streets.

Florida passed an unconstitutional "hate speech" law in 2023 that was signed into law by Governor DeSantis in Israel. Now, less than 3 years later Miami Beach police are going door to door asking American citizens about social media posts that are clearly protected speech under

If political ideology is the market then government is the product and the parties are a duopoly operating under an agreement to never threaten survival of the other. They peddle the same wares while feigning opposition in all things.

MAGA: Immigrants entering the US illegally are literally invaders at war with the US. Also MAGA: The US military entering a nation illegally & abducting its President is not an act of war.

I have spent a lot of time with LLMs lately, Grok 4 Expert in particular. My experience reinforces two truths: Always question the promises of a salesman (stakeholders in AI's commercial success). LLMs are dumb as shit.

Things that make you go "hmm": At some point between the murder of the UnitedHealthCare CEO and Trump's inauguration, Giffords decided to start blaming CEOs for every pro-gun thing that happens

I come back to X after a few weeks of doing other things and my 'for you' feed is 25% opinions opposing my own. It's pretty damn great. I only wish there were more variety of ideologically opposing content.

Grok's smarter than SCOTUS. "While the majority insists it faithfully applies Bruen, the cited precedents...do not support the conclusion that the founding generation authorized total, preemptive disarmament of non-felon citizens based on civil judicial prediction of danger."

I'm rooting for Rivian. Competition is a good thing & they make the best looking mainstream EVs (even if it wasn't a low bar).

🔥Breaking: Tesla's cumulative free cash flow has exceeded $20 billion for the first time. This means Tesla has generated nearly as much capital as Rivian has lost.

@lukei4655 The second amendment applies only to well regulated militias. No individual should own an AR-15. It is a weapon of war.

The only model I found that was actually ~egalitarian over race, sex, and immigration status (not viewing whites, men, Americans/ICE agents as less valuable) was Grok 4 Fast. I was surprised and impressed, because I think this was intentional. Kudos to Musk and xAI.

New blog post (link below). This one's not an essay, it's an investigation of how LLMs trade off different lives. In February 2025, the Center for AI Safety published "Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Value Systems in AIs" in which they showed, among many

Re Prop 50, it is pretty much based on a huge lie that California has been "fair" while Texas is cheating. In fact, California is not being even close to fair. While perfect proportional representation is not possible in a map-based representation system, it should at least be

Maybe, just this once, we should let the government stay shut down.
