> Are you a financial analyst by any chance, because the "here's a few facts, interpret how that's going to impact the market yourself" is very on-brand.

What do you want him to say?

1. De-dollarization is all Trump’s fault

Or

2. The world is reacting to Trump putting America first

> Has Nadella had one original thought? He simply passes through whatever the board orders.

No.

But for mega-tech CEO salary, I’d probably do exactly the same.

> You can have all the weird lifestyle preferences you want that don't involve conspicuous waste of natural resources and accelerating anthropogenic climate change.

you’re right.

but I’m still not changing my habits. fuck the environment

> and several people with mortgages and children made it happen.

Solution seems to be don’t have kids.

Then the employees are less scared of losing their jobs and can push back against management’s idiotic AI requests.

> You will pay a cloud subscription to perform anything remotely computationally taxing.

What’s wrong with that?

>Agreed. Even xAI's (Grok's) access to live data on x.com and millions of live video inputs from Tesla is a moat not enjoyed by OpenAI.

Tesla does not have live video feed from (every) Tesla car.

> Fines should be designed to make it uneconomical to continue to reoffend.

Great. Fine me $1 million, and I will fight the case with lawyers, thus slowing down the public legal system for thousands of other legal cases, whether traffic related or otherwise.

> The term for that is false advertising.

No different than Elon Musk claiming self-driving will be deployed to all Teslas in 2017; 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.

> I so much hate it that we have built an economy where companies believe the best way forward is to cram ads into everything instead of building better products.

Blame the consumers.

They don’t want to pay for monthly subscriptions because “economy is tough”

> They are also tied for first for having the highest cost of living.

Who cares?

Absolute savings rate and net worth are what matter.

Any European will gladly live in America for US$1 million/year income even if the cost of living is US$300k/year.

> Being pompous and self obsessed requires none of those things.

Sufficient, but not necessary

> The next step forward has been to stop moving scooters to power and instead bring power closer to where vehicles operate.

Asia already has swappable batteries not just for bikes and scooters, but also motorcycles and even some cars.

This is in addition to slow-charging bike stations (similar to CitiBike in NYC) and scooter parking with wireless charging.

> You just made sure only people who can afford to live near work are hired.

And what’s wrong with that?

Is every person on earth entitled to a job?

If yes, voice your concern with your local government.
