It's still worth a lot because most people are still on it, so another change of ownership could make it like it was before, i.e. appealing enough to advertisers to be about breakeven. I don't know how long that will continue to b

re: 1. Me too but I think it's just because it shows more blue checks, which happen to be people whose views align with Elon's, and I mostly disagree with them and the issues they are focused on. I bet they are also seeing more bl

You get the blue checks if you're not following anybody. Same as if you expand any any popular tweet. From what I've seen these are typically angry and weird people

When it does happen, it'll be because of woke politics for sure though, not because of any legitimate wrongdoing. Nothing will convince us Elon isn't the brilliant genius engineer maverick Rand foretold.

It seems like comparing AP to anything but regular cruise control miles is not very fair and is going to inflate its safety. From that link, it's pretty bad if it's not even clearly better at general "highway miles" than

They were considerably more expensive the first year Tesla FSD was due to be ready by the end of the year. After that I guess it was deemed easier to do magic with some low quality cameras than get certain people to admit they're wrong

It's not HN trying to do this, any stories critical of Musk or his enterprises usually get flagged by lots of people and therefore tend to stay off the front page. This has always been happening a very long time, the benefit of lots of

I discovered Bard can actually be pretty useful when ChatGPT wouldn't load for me a few weeks ago. Now I go to it first just to see if it'll give me a good answer quick. If not then see if ChatGPT is available

Usually last names only are used by journalists after the first time. Therefore you see one name it's usually the last name with no title. The exception is VERY famous people with unique first names like Oprah, Elon, LeBron. I suspect

Sometimes Bard is helpful. it's not nearly as reliable at doing something useful but it's much less likely to be unavailable and goes much faster, so I've started trying things there first and move on if it's useless.

I think most of them have much higher EQ that probably makes them more normal even if it also makes them better at hiding their faults. Trump and Elon are a little different somehow, they really really want continuous affirmation from their

Google has already been prosecuted successfully many times in the EU and has more to lose than OpenAI. Also there's no reason to think getting a product everywhere now is that big of an advantage in the future.
