Built a real-time emotion detector that runs 3 AI models in your browser — face tracking, speech recognition, sentiment analysis. No server, no API calls, no data leaves your device. Themed after Blade Runner's Voight-Kampff test 🎬 Try it → v-k.tyrellnexus.com AI wrote all the code 🤖

Social media is drowning in "AI slop" and engagement bait. I'm not optimizing for algorithms. This is my space. Gaming platforms, trading bots, metal, building stuff, and interesting things. Some posts/comments won't be "LinkedIn appropriate." Good. Comment "AI slop" for a free copy of my e-book👇

Trump offered to let S. Korean detainees stay, train U.S. workers, Seoul says
The 316 South Koreans arrested at the Hyundai-LG plant in Georgia are expected to return home Friday. The raid may chill investment in the U.S., South Korea’s president said.

🚫 Done with Intel. Not partisan—it's principle. "But national security!" → Defense contracts work without equity "But jobs!" → Propping up failure = more jobs lost later "But China!" → We win by innovating, not subsidizing (and props to China for innovating) #Intel #TechEthics #FreeMarket

Missed a stair or two while carrying my son down a staircase. 💥My ankle is not broken, but tendons are stretched, and my ankle is very unwell. ♿So I can't really walk for 2–3 weeks. But I'm getting back up again. Thanks to my loving family, friends, and teammates.❤️ You can't keep me down. 💪

Yes, this was a thing. So much food wasted in the name of Pokemon cards; not to mention it meant people who just wanted to eat couldn't get their meals.

Fun fact: The uvula (that dangly thing in your throat) has a surprisingly direct name in Japanese - のどちんこ (nodo-chinko) which literally means "throat penis." The formal term 口蓋垂 means "mouth-cap-flap" but most Japanese folks use the funnier nickname. A humbling reminder that anatomy can be amusing!"

The tonsils are out, and I've _mainly_ had some time to rest (not really). Now that I have proof that they came out - enjoy! (They look like little uncooked chicken nuggets) I should be out of the hospital-jail by the beginning of next week, not 100%. Let's go! #tonsilectomy #tonsils #freedom

These things are in my office elevator now. It takes the actual elevator servicing crew to install these things one by one. They take approximately 2 hours to install each. Then you get to watch ads on your elevator ride because we're all wired to look at the exit of the elevators as we ride them.

Fun Fact: in order to access my business banking account at MUFG in 🗾, I MUST to read these messages (which refreshes ~ every week) about phishing sites, not sending the same wires twice, installing a virus software that pays the banks to display the message, and to be aware of "support fraud".
