>You can't possibly believe Musk's fantasies after a couple decades of hilarious (and occasionally dangerous) lies.

Eh, betting against Musk generally seems to be a losing proposition. Starlink alone would have given me faith in his abilities, what Tesla's done with Models 3 and Y and SpaceX with Falcon 9 gives me all the more reason to believe him. Yes, despite the absurd timelines, which I'm generally okay with. (Not OP)

>...Tesla is not the winner in electric cars

With all due respect, what in the world are you on about?

Not convinced working for government is the best use of your potential, though considering he owns 5% of all US Treasury Bills, I wouldn't say his impact is any less than being a government employee.

The moral panic is social media being the reason for the suicides going up, not the fact that suicides are going up in itself.

Sharing the Hugo theme is a great move Herman. I'll be starting a Bearblog now, all thanks to this comment.

Am I the only one who sees that the entire website is AI generated? Their categories make no sense, neither does their homepage. Weird.

Yes, and Twitter isn't reacting specially in this regard. See Reddit hiking API prices by an absurd amount.

I don't think that's fair - getting back the chronological timeline itself made the purchase a good one in my eyes, alongside the For You feed, which seems to work wonderfully (for me). Not to forget you can literally turn off ads if you want. I seem to be a real minority, but I do genuinely believe Musk has done a great job with Twitter (or X).

Cable Cowboy, I'm guessing. Great book!

From Theodore Alois Buckley's introduction to Alexander Pope's translation of The Iliad:

"When we have read Plato or Xenophon, we think we know something of Socrates; when we have fairly read and examined both, we feel convinced that we are something worse than ignorant."

25% of the Earth's population is younger than 15. Assuming 20% of them use the internet, the TAM (not including the <15 year olds) is 80% of the world's population.

3 out of 4, or 75%, seems like nearly ever human, I'd say (though it is a matter of opinion I guess.)

funding secured wasn't a lie so much as a premature declaration, if walter isaacson is to be believed.

>Google and Apple have a somewhat poor software innovation reputation.

I'm assuming you mean reputation as in general opinion among developers? Because Google's probably been the most innovative company of the 21st century so far.
