Who exactly are you claiming hasn’t released anything? Name names.

There is a huge amount of data freely available.

He was once a very serious scientist but something clearly has gone very wrong.

Loeb latest: “If 3I/ATLAS is a massive mothership, it will likely continue along its original gravitational path and ultimately exit the Solar system.”

Getting his excuses in early. Even if moves like a comet and leaves the solar system it’s still aliens.

The Imminent Solar Conjunction of 3I/ATLAS

On October 21, 2025, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will be exactly on the opposite side of the Sun relative to Earth, constituting a…

If/when the next recession comes how do you think Trump by his own admission being focussed on his gold plated monstrosity vanity project will be viewed?

Mark A. Norris @markanorris.bsky.social · 1d

You'll be shocked to know it already has a crank comment which has nothing to do with the topic.

Just imagine how this will look if there is a recession.

Mark A. Norris @markanorris.bsky.social · 1d

Can’t help but feel that Trump focussing on his golden monstrosity will not be a great look politically if there is a recession, or a stock market crash…

What does non-cometary motion even mean? That’s word salad.

Its “orbit” is completely described by its initial trajectory and the gravity of the Sun.

Mark A. Norris @markanorris.bsky.social · 1d

Lol. So you have nothing. Im shocked.

I explicitly did read the peer reviewed papers, that is what the video is about. None of them describe anything that isn’t explained by this being a comet.

About.no is for sale!

You haven’t presented a single thing that defies conventional explanation…

I don’t need to present evidence that it isn’t aliens, you are the one making extraordinary claims. It is therefore you that bears the burden of proof.

It looks like a comet, it acts like a comet. It’s far more likely it’s a comet than a giant malfunctioning alien craft.

It’s a comet. It’s an icy body releasing volatile materials as it approaches the Sun and heats up.

Irritated by all the publicity hungry nonsense about 3I/ATLAS and aliens I made a video describing what we actually know about this unusual tourist from deep space and deep time that is racing through our solar system.

Spoiler: it's a comet, a cool one, but still a comet.

Just block. They’ll eventually go back to X to hang with their Nazi friends.

Mark A. Norris @markanorris.bsky.social · 6d

Just block and move on.

Let them go back to their Nazi pals on X.

Will Sam Altman and the other AI leaders be able to walk off into the sunset with their riches when the AI bubble explodes?

Or will the powerful whose wealth got vapourized find something, anything, to charge them with?

Might explain the desperate attempts to keep the bubble inflated.

We have ~5 companies spending a collective trillion plus (and having to spend hundreds of billions a year in perpetuity) in hopes of cornering what is optimistically currently a $20 billion market.

No plausible amount of growth can prevent this being a financial disaster for most involved.

Matthew Terrill @matthewterrill.bsky.social · 13d

I was already a hard AI-skeptic but this cements my long suspicion that there is no feasible path to anything close to return on invested capital for these data centers. Tech would need 15 to 25 times current AI revenues within the next 2-3 years just to break even. Not financially viable.

That is the key point. The underlying crime still exists. Trump just selectively enforces the law. He actively wants people to commit crimes, so he has leverage over them.

If so it will likely backfire. It likely won’t be the ones they expect that will fail.

Mark A. Norris @markanorris.bsky.social · 12d

It won’t because they’ll go bust.

I hope you used my quote about a certain someone.

A service completely built on plagiarism with revenues of ~$20 billion and expenses of ~$1 trillion a year doesn’t look like a great bet.

The fact the companies involved have already been forced to resort to circular “deals” to juice apparent income also isn’t a great sign…

To the people proving the picks it will be, for a while.

I can’t see how OpenAI and the like ever repay the investors. Presumably they plan to hype it to heaven and to dump the bag on dumb retail investors.

US kitkats are atrocious.

I don’t understand the logic of taking a massively successful worldwide product and thinking “yes we’d like to license this great product that is very popular worldwide, but what Americans really want is a completely inedible version”.

Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
