Never liked Zuckerberg, but you seem correct. Facebooks trajectory was pretty obvious. Creating a TikTok clone or such would just be chasing your own tail. The only real future for Facebook is something new. It's very high risk, and ca

Of course. that's the meaning of politics. GDP is not a natural law. Economics it s not a hard science it is full with ideology. The configuration space allowing a functioning society, while constrained, is still very large. we make

And bezos doesn't have dealings on a federal level? Oh my. You are naive. Bezos bought a new paper, so he can have a mouth piece when he needs it. Musk just bought a bigger mouth piece, without any of those pesky editors. Musk and his

He's a vindictive little man, even if he is stuck with Twitter at the price he paid, he probably wants revenge. Any evidence about information he didn't see will be fair game to claim witholding information from the court. And may

We even use Doppler! Our hearing is capable of sensing movement (speed and acceleration) using the Doppler effect. Our hearing also has a remarkable ability to locating sound source incoming direction.

Never talked about evenly distributed power. Just not too concentrated. A power differential is not inherently bad, I can't see a system working without it. But the size of that differential should be kept to a minimum that allow the s

Huh? Never talked about "flat democracy" I consider a representative democracy to be a form of self governing. You really missed the whole point of my post

Investors in that economy were far from being rational. We're talking SoftBank here. It's dumb money when interest rates are zero.

Less cars on the road solves traffic jams. Not more roads. Traffic jams are insane, we see a single person sitting alone in a 3+ ton box idling his time and instead of seeing how absurd it is, we want to make bigger roads for more almost em

He should tell that to his good friend Kanye. Or Trump with his lovely dance with antisemites. Musk doesn't want to ensure anything but his ego and his ability to influence. He cares naught for consequences on anything else.

Huh? Worker right exist and codified in law, Uber spent millions if not billions in lobbying to get them changed all over the world.

AI art will be something different, and because it's so cheap it'll eradicate everything else (at least most of its mainstream exposure) That's what's interesting, to understand what we're losing and what we're

Ever heard of Hitler? They let him talk, and talk and talk, it ended up with most of my ancestors dead. Some speech calls for violence and dehumanization against minorities, it should be banned.

Yeah, and the blatant antisemitism there has nothing to do with it.

Who are the "globalists" who are "the people"? Are those that voted to stay not part of the people? Why? Because it doesn't fit with your narrative? Your comment reeks of demagoguery with very nasty undertones.

Subsidizing your rides while corrupting your democracy by pooring endless cash into lobying against worker rights... It's a pretty heavy price.

I don't think self driving cars were part of the original Uber plan. It was bolted on after it became pretty obvious the business isn't sustainable. Uber was a behemoth before they did any self driving RnD. You give an extremely c

This. The problem is a dstribution of power most of all. If power is concentrated in government, it's as bad if it's concentrated with an individual with his own private police force. Private espionage force etc. All this strawman

Therapist have a huge amount of influence and power over their patients. Do you really think lowering the bar is a good idea? Try and imagine the end result. Maybe it's me, but I shudder thinking of it. The real problem, IMHO, is we&#x

No, not babies, they are fellow human beings. While Companies are not, they are just social tools.

Yeah, and Facebook was always about connecting ppl. You are working Ina capitalistic system, the only motive for your company is profit for shareholders. When you are small and inconsequential, other motives might rule. But the trajectory i

Your assumptions are just wrong. Currently, self driving cars are much worse than humans. Invest some time and do the research. It's appalling how misleading sources like Tesla PR are.

1. How do you know there will be no harm or is no harm? These issues are not manifesting in a timeline of a few weeks. 2. Why do you think the ethical reasoning is disengenious in Google's case? Even in OpenAI case it could be that ori

I didn't see a coherent claim by musk about the business side of Twitter. What are his qualms? He shitposts all the time, he sends his masses of fan boys to pile on adversaries. These are exactly the type of things that makes Twitter a

Hmmm, I thought musk and Dorsey want less moderation... Anyway, the ugliness you talk about seems inherent in the medium. I don't think that's fixable, especially as it doesn't seem to hurt Twitter bottom line. Which, let&#x2
