Bro is over here designing a tool to help as many of us as possible survive disaster... I really gotta up my game!
My friends were all talking about prepping so I made a survival LLM. A free app that runs an AI mdoel plus 1.5 million offline articles (medical guides, FEMA, survival manuals, wikipedia) entirely on your computer. No internet needed.

I try not to be a proud man but I'll admit, seeing a reply where I admit to past ignorance get so many likes is definitely pricking the ol' ego!
I remember thinking Daniel Boone was a folktale like Paul Bunion until I was older than I care to admit. Knowing how I reacted to the book, My Side of the Mountain, I would have been enthralled had I heard the stories of the great pioneers and explorers.
Sadly, the schools don't teach it so it's up to us adults to pass in the stories of the men and women who inspire.
This is your reminder to #FreeStanky
Non-verified accounts having the ability to mass brigade verified customers and get them deplatformed is a massive failing on behalf of X.
You can't give an inch to the anti-social, as they will abuse every weakness and every tool available to seek their advantage.
If X wants to act as the "public forum of the internet" it needs to stop allowing the raving lunatics to determine who is allowed to enter the space.
The feed is infested with ideological addicts who, like fentanyl zombies, disrupt the everyday lives of functional members of our community.
"I was offended by that"
So what! Scroll away.
We cannot allow the sickness of The Blob to continue to affect our institutions. We cannot grant special statuses or protections to individual groups or identities in our community.
Within the systems and policies of X, there still lies a deep, deep sickness.
If there is any hope for healing, we must root it out.
Free TheKingOfStank!

A hymn from today's church service. Just sit and listen. Let these words soothe your mind:
"There is a place of quiet rest,
near to the heart of God"

It has finally happened...
After fiercely battling the vile bot swarms, I've reached the first of many epic milestones: 100 FOLLOWERS!!!
I'm grateful to all of you who are here. It's thanks to your support that the future of my time here will be built on a strong foundation!
🤖 Made with AI
I may have actually done it!
Verifying they aren't bots right now!

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2
Recently, my feed has been showing me brothers and sisters throughout the world, calling out for prayer in difficult times. A glorious feeling it is to know we are not alone!
As of 12:34am Eastern Time, I am at a tortuously close...
I gave a new instance of Grok the picture from the post below and the following prompt:
"Fill this room with everything you know about me, but make it exaggerated"
And here's the results!
🤖 Made with AI
This kind of thing is why I don't fear some kind of "communication grid collapse".
We live in a time where it's never been easier to setup our own systems. The only thing holding us back is lack of necessity.
Soon, I will hit that first major milestone for any account:
The Great 100!
But I promise you, no soulless, slop selling bot will be the one to do it! I want it to mean something. The core of my online life will be made SOLID thanks to real support.
Thus, I continue my war!!!
I would say generally the answer is, No.
However, I do feel like anything that is done in a realistic style should be labeled as AI to assist in avoiding confusion.
Finally!
That shiny card is on its way!
Welp, I did it!
Got myself a shiny new @XMoney account and some money in the bank. Even went and ordered that pretty little silver card!
What do you think, folks?
On what should I spend this windfall?
Okay, I'm still upset about this BS but time and finally getting a bite to eat has helped some.
Turns out not being hangry is feels nice.
Well, turns out that I wasted my trial usage of @bot.
See the arrow in red? Yeah, I have a premium X account. See the arrow in blue? Yeah, that says X Premium.
What I thought was a bonus trial usage period from @SpaceXSI before my official usage began is actually all I get.
Why? Because they're playing stupid games with their naming conventions!
Turns out that they've renamed things. Now my account isn't seen as premium enough. An X Premium legacy account is now only an X "Plus" level account.
That means no Grok Bot for me. I even asked, on multiple occasions, if there was an issue with me only showing the trial usage and it repeatedly told me the usage would switch over once the trial was over. Their own AI doesn't know what's happening!!!
In short, I'm pissed. I'm unimpressed. And I have no reason to spend more money on them after this.
