@tigerjvideo Give people a chance. You only need to be a little smart to avoid those things.
Most people are a little smart.

Libertarianism is a lie. A 19 year old with $40,000 in student debt, addicted to pornography, gambling his pittance wage on draftkings, eating ultra-processed slop laced with additives, with no vocational skills, no family stability, no community, and no cultural framework for meaning is not "free". He is comprehensively captured by systems specifically engineered to exploit him.

I’m told this man is a genius who will save humanity.
However, every time *he* is observed, he appears to be an idiot.

@hy_wemmy Because you said no.
If we still pursue after that, we have been taught we are creepy at best, or stalkers.
Maybe learn to communicate more directly, so men won't assume you mean maybe, when you said no.

@Mandrik Is there an equivalent term for "red pilling" or "orange pilling" in re to persuading others to get a Tesla (I'm on my third Y)

@ThinkFinance999 Yup, 85% of rides are 1 person. What is the issue?

@eurofounder Wow, what a terrible lost opportunity. No one needs a master's degree to work in tech.
Work experience will pay much higher dividends than degrees

My daughter got a job offer from Tesla
"Papa, it's $250k a year and I'll work on autonomous driving!"
I sighed
"You have only a bachelor's degree. You are not qualified to work on anything"
She started showing me the offer letter
I closed the laptop
"You will do your masters. Then a traineeship at a respectable German company. Then we can talk"
"But dad, my friend moved to the US with just a bachelor's and already makes over $300k..."
"And does your friend have a recognised European postgraduate qualification?"
She didn't answer
Case closed
In Europe we educate first and work later
That's why our companies are built to last

@BuenoForMiami @bennettpeer Also, compare the water resources used for 1 gallon of almond milk compared tob1 gallon of cows milk

It’s unpopular because you’re choosing the planet—and your version of what that looks like—over the betterment of humanity.
Humans do best on an animal-based diet. Not only should we consume animals, but we can raise and harvest them in ways that minimize damage or even improve the health of the earth.
Closed-loop systems and regenerative practices are far superior to the monocrop agriculture that dominates most of the Western world.
So again, your position is unpopular for the same reason people now believe Bill Gates is trying to depopulate the earth: your goal is not compatible with human life and prosperity.
English
Unpopular opinion: if we want to save Earth, we all need to shift to a plant-based diet NOW.

Or, and hear me out, most of the money would be mis-managed by government bureaucrats and the politicians who manage them
The seniors would get a tiny fraction of someone else's wealth.
Let's allow Elon to build more factories to provide jobs, donate to charities (which DIRECTLY help people, and he makes massive donations), and continue making our roads safer, and air easier to breathe
English
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing a bill to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half. A chunk of the money would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

Tesla basically makes two versions of the same, nine year old car.
That's it.
That's their entire lineup.
Any other automotive CEO would have been fired long ago.

Do people realize it's not individual politicians, but the two-party system itself that's the problem?
English
No, I am pretty sure it's the lack of empathy.

Conservatives are generally happier than liberals. Why? Because we actually have foundation and family values.

Venice.ai is already today this "unlinkable inference layer," a "VPN for AI"
Use any model (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/Grok) through Venice pseudonymously.
Ken Liu@kenziyuliu
Can we build a blind, *unlinkable inference* layer where ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini can't tell which call came from which users, like a “VPN for AI inference”? Yes! Blog post below + we built it into open source infra/chat app and served >15k prompts at Stanford so far. How it helps with AI user privacy: # The AI user privacy problem If you ask AI to analyze your ChatGPT history today, it’s surprisingly easy to infer your demographics, health, immigration status, and political beliefs. Every prompt we send accumulates into an (identity-linked) profile that the AI lab controls completely and indefinitely. At a minimum this is a goldmine for ads (as we know now). A bigger issue is the concentration of power: AI labs can easily become (or asked to become) a Cambridge Analytica, whistleblow your immigration status, or work with health insurance to adjust your premium if they so choose. This is a uniquely worse problem than search engines because your average query is now more revealing (not just keywords), interactive, and intelligence is now cheap. Despite this, most of us still want these remote models; they’re just too good and convenient! (this is aka the "privacy paradox".) # Unlinkable inference as a user privacy architecture The idea of unlinkable inference is to add privacy while preserving access to the remote models controlled by someone else. A “privacy wrapper” or “VPN for AI inference”, so to speak. Concretely, it’s a blind inference middle layer that: (1) consists of decentralized proxies that anyone can operate; (2) blindly authenticates requests (via blind signatures / RFC9474,9578) so requests are provably sandboxed from each other and from user identity; (3) relays prompts over randomly chosen proxies that don’t see or log traffic (via client-side ephemeral keys or hosting in TEEs); and (4) the provider simply sees a mixed pool of anonymous prompts from the proxies. No state, pseudonyms, or linkable metadata. If you squint, an unlinkable inference layer is essentially a vendor for per-request, anonymous, ephemeral AI access credentials (for users or agents alike). It partitions your context so that user tracking is drastically harder. Obviously, unlinkability isn’t a silver bullet: the prompt itself still goes to the remote model and can leak privacy (so don't use our chat app for a therapy session!). It aims to combat *longitudinal tracking* as a major threat to user privacy, and its statistical power increases quickly by mixing more users and requests. Unlinkability can be applied at any granularity. For an AI chat app, you can unlinkably request a fresh ephemeral key for every session so tracking is virtually impossible. # The Open Anonymity Project We started this project with the belief that intelligence should be a truly public utility. Like water and electricity, providers should be compensated by usage, not who you are or what you do with it. We think unlinkable inference is a first step towards this “intelligence neutrality”. # Try it out! It’s quite practical - Chat app “oa-chat”: chat.openanonymity.ai (<20 seconds to get going) - Blog post that should be a fun read: openanonymity.ai/blog/unlinkabl… - Project page: openanonymity.ai - GitHub: github.com/OpenAnonymity

@DillonLoomis A customer could be an existing cab company, a city, Uber. A customer doesn't have to be just an individual.
English
Elon - to be clear - the bet was that Tesla wouldn't sell a Cybercab to a customer for $30k or less before 2027. Are you saying THAT specifically is going to happen?
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@wholemars Gonna happen 😂

@davidicke Doesn't deliver? You must exist in a very strange reality from everyone else. You don't make the 1st or 2nd best selling car in the world for 3 years if you don't deliver.
That is just one example.
Aren't you tired of being wrong?
English
It is dawning on ever more people that Musk is, and has always been, a monumental bullshitter who predicts, doesn't deliver, and then predicts again. The sequence just keeps on repeating. The elephant in the room is that he is not a 'genius'. He's a gofer frontman myth and AI sales pitcher for those far deeper in the shadows.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Elon Musk has completely failed to deliver on his Mars promises, his DOGE promises, and his full self-driving promises. So now he's making another promise he won't deliver on: "a self-growing city on the moon."

@timjacobwise Being willfully deceptive is evil, being ignorant can be forgiven.
Which are you?
English
Nope. It will crash and burn like your other rockets. You know this, which is why, sadly, you’d never have the guts to take a seat on the first launch.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩
English
Spoiler alert: Elon Musk will not build a colony or an outpost or so much as an outdoor toilet on the Moon. Not in ten years. Not in twenty years. Not ever. When your dipshit friend or relative expresses excitement over his announcement, just change the subject. There's no point in arguing with them. It's a cult.
