Feed screenshot with three separate tweets stacked (roon on capabilities slowdown, deepfates riffing on AI critics, Joshua Achiam on quantum algorithm overhang from AI math capability). Quote-tweet, no images. Profile picture for Trazzi shows a person holding a megaphone with a "STOP THE AI RACE" sign. Quote-tweet, no images. Same roon tweet quoted a second time by a different account (compare Screenshot_20260726-091454.png).

Utah teapot @SkyeSharkie

Utah teapot 🫖→vib... @SkyeSh... — 5h ya'll orch or people are crazy, ai has a brain containing electrons that do quantum tunneling through parts of, and experiences random bitflips from cosmic rays, thermal noise, etc. ... not to mention the fact that quantum computers exist, quantum computer native ai will be developed and hybrid systems already exist... there is no special juice in magic tubes in your brain, Orch OR is psychonaut fantasy - your brain is a hot juicy thing

Same account as the 08:44 screenshot, arguing against the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Penrose-Hameroff "Orch OR") theory of consciousness by claiming AI hardware already exhibits comparable quantum effects (tunneling, bit-flips) and dismissing microtubule-based consciousness claims.

Pep Martorell @pepmartorell · 8h It's been upgraded, Richard: the chapel now houses quantum computers! The most beautiful tech installation in Europe. [Image: interior of a former chapel with ornate stone arches and red ceiling, now housing red and blue server/computing racks with glowing white light fixtures under a glass-walled data center enclosure, blue-lit floor.] > QUOTED: Richard D. Bartlett @RichDecibels · 11h > my friend works at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in a deconsecrated church and it has the absolute peak European aesthetic > [same image, thumbnail]

Photo of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum supercomputer installed in a deconsecrated chapel, admired for its striking aesthetic. General tech-culture interest, no safety content.
