After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

We need the Democratic Party to keep moving with this momentum and not get distracted by emphasizing fringe policies that only affect a tiny number of people. The right jumps on this and makes these fringe ideas the point (whether it be transgender issues, etc.).

@jimmykimmel.com let me build you the most advanced AI enhanced streaming platform ever built based on the same protocol that powers @bsky.app—impossible to censor and YOU make all the advertising dollars. I’ve done it before! Ask Mark Cuban…I built much of the engine behind what he sold to Yahoo!

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center. ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

Trump says latest Russian attack on Ukraine ‘what anybody else would do’ “Anybody” would step up the attack, Trump said of Russia’s first major missile assault on Ukraine since the U.S. paused intelligence sharing with the embattled country.

My best investment advice

“In this broken world, you’ll face hardships and pain—expect it. But stand strong, be confident, and let joy fill you! I’ve conquered the corrupt systems of this world defeating sin, death, and evil, and my victory is yours to claim.”

Why Decentralized Identity is the Future of Social Networks Introduction

My latest article discussing the merits of decentralized identity, AT Protocol, and our SkyTok platform:

I have to admit that I've been surprised at the level of hate at AI LLMs.

There is finally a tool that allows those without access to an advanced education to self learn, anywhere , anytime. To get answers to questions, (even if sometimes wrong) , that they would otherwise never have access to

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

This Is the Way to Stop Elon Musk Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

The unfair responses you have received on this thread after simply advocating for the use of open source LLM's that are controlled by nobody and everyone can freely use is a real head-scratcher...

I would say more, but people here already covered most of it. I will only say that I have a hard time understanding why you'd think open source LLM's that anyone can use, customize and enhance are a meal ticket for anybody. I guess we should jsut let OpenAI have all the money, right?

I guess we should all aspire to be poor and noble?

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

@kerryfwashington.bsky.social I worked on his first video venture long ago, and this time it’s my turn…stay tuned as I have something very special coming…it is what you want…

@kerryfwashington.bsky.social so glad to see you here! I have a team working on a new replacement for TikTok based on the technology that drives BlueSky, and we are called @skytok.net . Mark Cuban issued a challenge here and I answered…

Every AI enabled IDE, tool, or service I use all updated today to add DeepSeek model support…

Claude Talk with Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

Wow, Claude.ai is down…glad I have @deepseek.bsky.social as a capable backup!!

Good morning! I have long been a fan from afar of your efforts. I am building something that can be a great tool in your efforts to educate that is owned by no one person. It is like TikTok built built on BlueSky (AT protocol), so it can reach everyone with live or recorded video.

Like others say here, DeepSeek the model cannot be banned. It’s open source. I have a version of it running on my AI platform self hosted. DeepSeek the service is also highly unlikely to be banned as they have a tight affiliation with NVidia (they run on their new servers).

@deepseek.bsky.social is almost irresistible because their quality is superb, but their transparency is somewhat worse than what is said here. They explicitly say that they WILL use your data for training which should be heresy. But agents need tokens…

@mcuban.bsky.social hey, there! We have @skytok.net set up! About to release some cool stuff to a limited community. @rjesberg.bsky.social and I have been busy running our AI agent minions!!
