@MissJilianne Except it appears the car was driving ok before driver took over.

Elon admits the human disengaged Autopilot 4 seconds before the crash. Well yeah…if you’re about to crash due to Autopilot making a critical mistake, you’re going to naturally slam on the brakes which disengages Autopilot\Full Self-Driving.

The @MLS is profitable. The @WNBA loses $30M a year. Now it’s going to lose $300M a year.
And you think the NBA owners are gonna just eat that number?
which movie you watching@bill_dalton
@MattFinkes Dude, MLS owners are pouring money into soccer…ridiculous waste of money

It's genuinely amazing how many billionaires turn into outright cranks and lunatics about the weirdest shit imaginable, despite being otherwise smart people.
English
There’s no evidence that Thiel is smart. Just listen to him talk. Plenty of evidence he’s evil, though.

Tech bros will never have taste because taste evolves from liking things purely for their own sake, and tech bros cannot conceive of value that is not tied to profit or clout

this week's column is for all my taste bros out there

Someone needs to set up great books seminars for these guys.

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.
English
@ZaibonH @BrandonLBradfor Perhaps. But about the worst comparison that could be made.
English
@pbreit @BrandonLBradfor In the same vein as saying the unknown perp of the Tylenol poisonings was effective - they caused changes to the industry AND they were never caught neither.

Rich does not equal smart or even mildly well informed

The MacBook Neo is honestly kind of ridiculous…
I just ran a full podcast setup:
🎥 Sony camera as webcam
🎙️ Shure mic for audio
🪟 Multiple windows open the entire time
Over an hour later… only dropped 18% battery 😳
And this is a $500 machine… that makes ZERO sense 🤯
What would you push this machine to do? 👇
Shout out @stephenrobles for being our guest!

When we say capitalism is an anti-human system, this is what we mean.
English
@rcbregman What does freedom and democracy are not 'compatible' even mean?
English
Peter Thiel literally wrote that freedom and democracy are not 'compatible' and that regulating Big Tech is the work of the 'anti-Christ'. Stop treating this as metaphor. When billionaires tell you they want to end democracy, take them seriously.

The maximum an individual can legally donate to a candidate in an election is $3300.
Elon donated $277M to Trump in 2024 because of loopholes rich people use to buy elections.
If you care about election integrity — overturn Citizens United so our elections aren’t auctions.

@esjesjesj Well, the incident in Florida the driver disengaged autopilot 75 seconds before the crash.
English
Btw what happens is drivers see that autopilot is about to cause a crash and disengage it to try to stop the crash and it’s too late. Then tesla gets to say that autopilot wasn’t engaged
English
I've never listened to a podcast for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I don't have the patience to listen to people ramble on while I wait for them to talk about something I might be interested in. I'm not sure there's ever been a less efficient way to transmit information.

@joni_askola Or...they are giving the people what they very much want on a massive, massive scale.
English
If the last few years have taught us anything, it is the true nature of tech oligarchs.
They are not just cynical opportunists.
They are deeply out of touch, wielding unchecked structural power to push dangerous fascist agendas while lacking any self-awareness
English
@robertwiblin It blew up because the world is filled with idiots who think they are smarter than a actually very smart, very successful person.
English
I think the reason this blew up and attracted near universal ridicule is that while 'never introspecting' is very on-brand vice signalling, betraying zero knowledge of the classical Western canon is wildly off-brand.
So even fans of his general vibe hated half of it.

@gtinari Just not in the dark. Unlit keyboard is show-stopper for many.
English
it’s insane to me how many people in the tech community can’t wrap their minds around the macbook neo. what is such an enigma about it?
it’s a $600 laptop from apple made for people who do some typing, do some streaming, do some researching, and do some socializing.
English
@Liamjsm I would say actually they do not. At all. WNBA is perfect example. The college players make a TON more money with no union in sight.
English
@oldviennalager @dwallacewells No. But they can lead to each other.
What’s funny are the ridiculous reactions to an entirely unremarkable comment,
English
its really funny if you watch this clip it becomes clear he thinks "introspection" and "guilt" are synonymous

English
This self-satisfied triumphant thoughtlessness is like a new kind of mental illness
the idea that introspection didn’t exist 400 years ago and it’s a modern invention… like has he heard of Shakespeare? Lincoln? Einstein?
