Knowing how utterly ridiculous things are now and how you can't write fiction as absurd as real life, because people would say its too out there and unrealistic, I think it will be a very special kind of stupid. What do you mean there&

If we don’t solve alignment, then yeah it very well might be Terminator but really dumb and embarrassing while its happening and people deny its happening. I dont know if we are gonna have a robot apocalypse, but if we do I can guarantee it

“ While Musk had exceled as a self-taught coder, his skills weren’t nearly as polished as those of the new hires. They took one look at Zip2’s code and began rewriting the vast majority of the software. Musk bristled at some of their change

He’s as technical as a middle manager with an MBA at a tech company might be, but barely impressive otherwise. Compare that to someone like Zuckerberg, who I cannot stand, it’s laughable in comparison. He doesn’t have any advanced degrees a

Check out Curitiba. It’s a beautiful clean city with very low crime and great public transportation. It’s more like Mountain View or Ann Arbor than Chicago or New Orleans. Compared to a city like Memphis or St Louis, it’s relatively utopian

What makes you think Musk is technical? I’ve seen tons of interviews and podcasts. He’s not as stupid as he comes across on Twitter, but he absolutely is not an engineer and couldn’t code his way out of a paper bag. He has an above average

There are cities in Brazil that are relatively utopian compared to a lot of US cities. It’s not all Rio, but some people think it is.

Mexico has some of the most arable land on the planet too. They are going to become a serious economic superpower by the end of the century, esp if they sort out their cartel problem.

It might not protect its occupants, if all that force gets thrown at the driver instead of the front end of the car. Crumple zones soften impacts on occupants, at the expense of destroying the car.

The cybertruck is unique in that it does not crumple like modern cars do, due to its stainless steel construction. Making cars into tanks is actually pretty easy, and back in the 50s cars were built like that. But people in collisions often

As an “extremist left winger” I can tell you that this is false. We got banned all the time for talking trash to nazis and proud boys (many of whom are now in prison for trying to overthrow the country).
