In limited contexts it provides tangible productivity and efficiency benefits - 100% agree.
But OpenAI is touting an IPO at a TRILLION dollar valuation when it loses billions a quarter and expects total revenue in 2025 to fall in the $15-20 billion range. In that respect it sure LOOKS like a con.

The algorithm loop in his brain goes, [do/say a batshit crazy thing] —> [are they still talking about Epstein?] —> [do/say a batshit crazy thing]
“Crazy” can be blowing up boats with civilians in them, or sending troops into US cities, or wandering around on the WH roof. Any shit that might stick.

Hundreds of thousands, I’d believe.
Millions? I need to see some evidence.
I hope you’re correct. I just don’t believe many people in the US will subject themselves to even the slightest inconvenience to defend a principle. A few will; most just shuffle along after a few irritated bleats.

GTFO with your “you have to take what he says in context” horseshit.
He certainly believed the Second Amendment was worth it even if a bunch of people are murdered senselessly.
Pretty fucking ironic.

Guy had a big mouth and a podcast. All of his Hot Takes are a matter of public record.
Google them in order and come back to tell us which one is inaccurate.

If you figure out how to STOP it from happening just tell me where to mail the cheque. I’ll let you fill in the amount at your end.

Could this just be an ingenious plot to boost (boo-st?) viewership of the US Open men's final? How many non-tennis fans/Trump-haters are going to tune in just to see how loud and long the booing goes on for?
Nah. Too complex. The US Open organizers are just chickenshit fascist-enabling cowards.

At least the car is a physical object you can own and use if you want one.
The robot demos I’ve seen show units even less autonomous than the fictional FSD capabilities of the cars.
So 80% of Tesla’s revenue will come from a product that literally hasn’t reached the prototype phase?

That describes an awful lot of sci-fi. There's a reason "space wizards" is an instantly recognizable meme.
I guess when Arthur C. Clarke said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic a lot of people took that maybe a little *too* literally?

That was such an inspiring read.
My favourite quotation:
“It’s for the sake of just completing the game that we’re stopping. We could have kept going.”
I bet this game will exceed even the elevated expectations confronting it.

Same rules as for slander and libel, then? Good.
I’m not religious, but can you imagine discovery for JD at the Pearly Gates, having the lifetime of bigotry he accumulated weighed against the Christian principles he pretended to care about? I kind of want to believe in hell, just for his sake.

Did you read Tommyknockers? JFC. No doubt that King was coked out for *years* in the 80s.
Dude wrote detailed scenes of murder and torture for decades, but nobody believes he murdered or tortured anyone. But if he writes a child orgy scene, well then he MUST be a pedophile.
