    Kanye West showed up to a Trump rally somewhere in California recently in a Cyber truck. It was like a jambalaya of stupid people.

      Was thinking the same thing lately.

      About tech in general.

      I used to be a disciple, imagining the beautiful future, spreading the hope of a better world.

      Now, I kinda think old man Kaczynski was a prophet.

        He went about it all wrong but he definitely had a couple observations that weren’t 100% incorrect. He was Harvard educated after all.

      I’m still excited that it’s a possibility, but I don’t trust Musk with it. It’s one step closer to me becoming a brain in a jar.

    The best way to read this screenshot is to keep the actual headline below the window and try to guess which thing it’s referring to.

    I think it’s a good thing. I mean, decent normal people aren’t going to get it, it’ll just be the troglodytes that still worship Musk. I really don’t care what happens to those cretins.

      Takes too much energy to shoot anything into the sun. Mars is easier and there is no coming back either. Or submarines to the grave of the titanic. That is even more economic.

    Elon keeps picking companies that give big government grants. Space, electric vehicles, medical, infrastructure. Twitter is like the only company I don’t see getting direct government handouts.

    He made his money from duping the people who give out our tax dollars.

      Twitter is just the same thing Billionaires always do, get a social media platform or news company under their control to try and make them look good.

    …or the headline above it about a company changing its TOS and subscription model for a hardware product locked down by software.

    If Elmo himself is getting a commercial version of this implant, maybe I would consider getting it if I wasn’t repulsed by the concept itself

      If it offers more freedom than the alternative, I’d sign up. I’m thinking of massive physical and mental disabilities here.

            Good point. Until Musk, I have always been happy with the idea of getting destructibly uploaded as an alternative way to end one’s life while advancing science. But Musk doesn’t do Science. He seems to mostly make business.
