I love that he goes after Elon etc really hard. It’s hilarious.
Still strange that he continues to promote his cyber truck
When will people realize that Elon only has one trick: lie really baldly really publicly, pressure the shit out of a bunch of smart engineers until they get to their breaking point, and if it works you’re a “genius” — if it doesn’t, just throw it on the pile of other completely outlandish shit that you said that never mattered.
You missed the critical middle step of pumping up market valuation so you can borrow against the hype.
Surely there is a dump step following the pump?
Or is it pump, borrow, repeat?
Borrowing against shares is the dump.
Hey, Elon, you’re the world’s richest loser.
Soyyyyyyy… un perdedor!!!
… so why don’t we kill him?
Lyrically, of course.
Like no really, him and all these fuckers have eggshells for egos… mock them relentlessly, gloriously, they will crack.
Elon needs all of his companies to stay in growth valuation mode. The moment people start pricing them like stable, mature companies (or worse) he’s kinda screwed.
Considering the resource-raping and the complete absence of Asimov’s Laws, we’re better off without.
The entire point of the I, Robot anthology is that the three laws don’t work.
True, because it’s too easy to subvert them surreptitiously, and yet the present plan of openly seeking world domination, starting by running over schoolchildren and telling teens to commit suicide, is worse.
They don’t work when you give robots lots of control. They are a very decent guard rail compared to having none at all
They are a shit guard rail because they can never be formally specified. Again, read the stories.
Even a shit guard rail is better than no guard rail at all.
A guard rail in the middle of the road that you either have to crash into or go off-road is worse than none
All these ‘geniuses’ of the current age really make you wonder how many of the supposedly super intelligent innovators we learned about in school were just frauds taking credit for other people’s achievements.
Elon Musk is the Edison of the current age.
Not true. Edison was quite the inventor in his younger days. Elon is just a leech.
The moment he smashed the Cybertruck window should have been the point at which his grift fell over.
He’d spent all that time talking up the Cybertruck, saying that it was damn near indestructable, that it was bulletproof. And to prove it he threw a huge ball bearing at the window.
And it smashed.
That should have been the point at which everyone said “Nah, this guy’s a kook” and walked away. But nope. They all rode along on the meme and here we are.
Don’t forget all those TikTok videos from gun nuts shooting at their Cybertrucks’ side panels to “prove” it was bulletproof and having them go clean through
