Yeah but that’s not going to entrench Trump’s power since those people can’t vote. I’m talking about stuff like Jan 6, but successful. Cancelling elections, arresting opposition candidates, etc. Everything they’re doing now will come to an end after the next election.
Vote and legally fund candidates
That’s dumb. If there’s ever a Hitler-level problem a reasonably fit guy like him can just cross through the woods into canada in several places. Stay and fight. Elon’s defeat in Wisconsin today shows that as lame as it sounds, voting does work. If you actually do it.
You’re right but in my opinion the media is massivley sugarcoating Thiel. His ties to white nationalists and repeated hinting about how we’d be so much better off without democracy would be treated as far more alarming if it were coming from a prominent Democrat.
Thiel has made it as a CEO because he’s able to (barely) maintain a public persona that hides his true extremism. But it’s so clearly there beneath the surface. Maybe he didn’t quite outright say he was against women having the right to vote, but we can guess how he feels inside at this point.
Horses, the original automatic braking
He’s been missing for two weeks but someone created a github for an academic homepage for him a few days ago and updated a branch on it 20 hours ago?’
Unless there’s something I’m missing and multiple XiaoFeng Wangs work for the Luddy School at IU?
I suppose it could also just be a fake account, the whole thing is just weird.
I don’t look at it as thanking them for these things, but rather the fact that we’re all doing those things with our tax dollars and they’re the ones getting shot at because of it in my place. To a large extent if you live in the US and reap the benefits of American dominance you’re just as guilty. Obviously the problem is - where else do you go? It makes infinitely more sense to stay and vote for a better world. Not blame the working class people the bad voters have abused.
Now I’m wondering why we don’t attach giant balloons to ships to reduce water resistance by cutting down how much of the ship needs to be underwater. Perhaps it’s because you would need more size for the balloon, and maybe the air resistance and water resistance needs to even out due to physical laws that I’m too lazy to think about?
Let’s not forget “We need this right away!” then it takes weeks to deploy because the people who requested it weren’t actually ready for it yet (if they don’t change their mind and decide they don’t actually want it at all).
It’s not all him, several other people invested in both. According to some article Elon owns 79% of X, and only 54% of xAI (barely enough to control it). Since the valuation of X in the deal is about $20 billion more what others have estimated ($12.3 billion), it definitely seems like it’s a corrupt bailout 46% funded with other xAI investors’ money, basically netting Elon $8 billion overnight.
That being said, the other investors in xAI are easy marks like Marc Andressen (famous for funding Adam Neumann’s project that came after WeWork) and various Saudi Royals who possibly were convinced that this is ok.
More likely: Russia loses, America loses, everyone loses
Except Canada. I’m betting they come out ahead cause they’ve been nice to everyone.
I’m shocked that the administration of “Put the big boxes of top secret docs under the bathroom chandelier” would mishandle secret war plans.
Some guy improving Teslas with cool free penis art
Because the app stores keep adding new requirements that you have to add code to deal with and it gets worse every year and seemingly every day.
I don’t want Elon dead, I want him to go bankrupt, fail at creating some NRx corporate dictatorship so hard that he brings about a socialist utopia, and then end up getting the drug and mental health treatment he so badly needs for free, eventually issuing an apology for becoming such an asshole and proceeding to live out the rest of his days giving Ted talks around the theme of how being the richest person on earth was the most miserable time of his life.
People’s reaction: “This is tyranny!”
The reality: This is delusional.
Trump doesn’t have the power to give that kind of order and any official carrying it out can be convicted and imprisoned under state law that Trump can’t pardon them for. He actually doesn’t understand this despite being president once already because he either always has been retarded*, or got that way due to some sort of dementia.
*I mean that in the medical sense, not as an insult.
Don’t destroy Tesla cars, destroy the brand. Destroying Teslas means there’s fewer Teslas and that makes them more valuable/reduces the flooding of the market caused by people selling their cars. The goal is to annihilate Elon’s purchasing power to stop him from using it to implementing fascist governments around the world.
American public transit varies widely, ranging from better than driving to comically horrible.
The rain test was far more concerning because it’s much more realistic of a scenario. Both a normal person and the lidar would’ve seen the kid and stopped, but the cameras and image processing just isn’t good enough to make out a person in the rain. That’s bad. The test portrays it as a person in the middle of a straight road, but I don’t see why the same thing wouldn’t happen at a crosswalk or other place where pedestrians are often in the path of a vehicle. If an autonomous system cannot make out pedestrians in the rain reliably, that alone should be enough to prevent these vehicles from being legal.
In a sense it is a bit, in that it encourages people to call me out for being wrong as here. And in this case, I admit I made an assumption that is unclear in hindsight, which was that the guy was leaving permanently.
