Kick them over *where*? Because I have ideas (most of which involve dumpsters).

a woman is covering her mouth with her hand while holding a bow and arrow in her hand . ALT: a woman is covering her mouth with her hand while holding a bow and arrow in her hand .

Sounds a bit dystopian.

Totally understood. But also, here's their main competitor's front page of their website.

They're taking a bit of a different tact...

Fair.

And we don't mean the good kind of Zero Trust.

Right? I'd have WAY worse oppo on me.

You can have the best product on the market, but if the most important thing you can think of to convey is that "it's AI powered" I have ZERO confidence in your product road map.

Garbage this shallow is how you KNOW opposition research hasn't turned up anything remotely meaningful on Mamdani.

Compare that to, I don't know, say Cuomo and it's a pretty stark comparison...

I am infinitely more concerned about a government official who while in college:
* Went to frat parties in black face
* Threw Nazi salutes (even if "it was all just a joke")
* Sexually abused women

Than I ever will be about a guy stealing a table for a prank.

Elon Musk is a symbol of American collapse in many ways, but one of the big ones is how for years he has constantly engaged in multi-billion-dollar securities and consumer fraud, and the "consequence" has been him making billions more, including from the federal government paying him directly.

To the extent you believe something HAS in fact changed, I'll cede that point as long as we're in agreement this is the key issue.

Hot take: nothing has really changed with regards to male loneliness except empowering women to say no to losers and live a fulfilling life without men who won't treat them well.

I'll die on this hill.

Not complaining, but I'm currently (re)booking flights from another flight so I can handle two different virtual engagements that came up after I booked conflicting travel for two other in-person engagements. Something just feels wrong about that, but we're getting them all fit in.

I was not eligible for verification because of my unverifiable claim that I am the Supreme Allied Commander of ANTIFA.

The man who only last week was sure that the jobs numbers were so wrong, he fired the BLS chief. Today, he's just making up entirely new forms of math.

I fail to understand how anyone with more than a few brain cells takes him seriously.

This.

That's a blatant attempt to recoup the CAPEX investment since industry isn't finding it's a broad fit.

I just didn't realize how HUGE the CAPEX spend was...

The location of our subs is one of the Navy's most closely held secrets.

I am 1000% positive that nobody is giving that information to Trump with any more precision than "underwater within range of your objective."

I just had chills reading this.

Lack of a path to profitability for the AI hype is going to tank the economy. One 2008 was one too many...

If aliens from another planet landed in the US and were asked to describe our system of government based on observation alone, I'm increasingly convinced they'd say it's a dysfunctional system of elder abuse (or at least that elder abuse is a core principle).

For such a "stable genius" and self proclaimed financial wizard, he sure doesn't seem to understand how discounts and/or percentages work (probably both, honestly).

Sincerely, thank you for all your reporting on Elon's shenanigans. It's wild the mainstream press isn't.

The Biden administration had wire and securities fraud charges in motion against Musk for doing this.

Elon Musk bought the election for Donald Trump because doing this, lying about the current and future capabilities of the vehicles he sells, is the foundation of his entire fortune.

Pilot says "balmy 106 in Vegas currently" as we're waiting to take off from DTW.

I'm sure waiting for transport to the hotel tonight will be lovely...

I guess at least it was just in the prologue so I know not to waste any more time. Obvious they've drank the Kool Aid or foundationally misunderstand AI. Either way, not a good look.

Someone recommended the book Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari and in the fscking prologue they say "AI is already capable of making scientific discoveries by itself."

Ugh, I seriously don't see how I'm making it through this audiobook. Probably going to be a hard delete.

Those are the best talks though.

I've gotten this "AI sold the product we hadn't even created yet and we can help you do it too" and I'm thinking "no thanks, I can commit my own felonies without help from AI..."

No child tax credit, etc. then...
