It's obviously going to be all male - the first ALL INCEL university. No women will want to be there, if there are any left in the Texas higher education system at all, considering they are going full Handmaid's Tale. https:&#x2F

They have so much data about you that they can predict what you are going to do or look for before you know it yourself. Technology good enough is indistinguishable from magic.

I am not sure autonomous driving will arrive in the next 10 years, let alone AGI. These people are masterful con artists, throwing out buzzwords to hoover up billions of gullible VC dollars (a single tear rolls down my eye). How is that Web

TikTok is a Chinese product, and therefore inseparable from the Communist Party. This may also be a factor. It's the safest (read: more moderated and controlled) large social media platform. Why? It may seem valuable to cause havoc in

There are professional journalists out there who in most organizations will get into hot water or lose their jobs if they fabricate news or sources. They will have biases, they will make mistakes, but most of them will do at least some due

With cars and rockets there is a lot of government regulation and standards. Musk cannot bypass that, and that's why he is not involved into the day-to-day. He has no interest in the nitty gritty and he loses patience right away. The a

May I suggest 8chan? Almost no moderation at all, but make sure you have a gallon of Clorox by your desk because you will want to pour that into your eyes.

I agree about healthcare. Employees in the United States over-perform because we can't risk losing health insurance and ending up in financial ruin. H1-B, now, as much as I am sympathetic to that (an immigrant coming from extreme pover

Imagine spending countless hours building up your follower base and accumulating the social media cachet, if you will, only to have Google shut it down in three years. Because that's exactly how that would go.

As a compulsive Twitter user who follows the Russian invasion of Ukraine non-stop, I thank Elon from the bottom of my heart for ridding me of my addiction. I am also trying to launch a product, so the timing is [chef's kiss]/

There is a term for it - a "glass cliff". You hire a woman to take the fall for you.

This EXTREME EMERGENCY that Musk is talking about is not AI - it's Musk himself. He is killing engagement and ad income, has to slow the bleed, and is now looking under every rock for some gains, GOTO 1.

Leave it to Musk to create a hair-on-fire emergency out of a regular cup of coffee. "EXTREME"! Please... But hey, I am eternally grateful. As a super-compulsive Twitter user, I read accounts and my own lists after I log out. This

As a Far Cry fanatic, even the difference between Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 is substantial. Far Cry 3 is one of those games where the gameplay is so good, you don't even pay attention to graphics, but with 4, you are on a different plane

There is nothing wrong with Capitalism given the right incentives, proper controls, and some social responsibility. It used to work, until the rich gutted oversight and regulations.

It's kind of similar to tech. All these brilliant "executives" turned out to be complete imbeciles - unless they operate in an environment where money grows on trees and the economy is on fire (not that it's bad in the f

Enabling FEELS great, but you are still just making (less) money - you are a work for hire no matter what. And it's a lot of work - making someone ELSE rich. Now, if you are entrepreneurial and aiming to start something of your own, a

A well-tooled environment does not just spring out of an ether. Maintaining proper tooling in a distributed system often requires more work than the system itself. In a lot of cases, the business does not even consider this kind of time com

I resisted learning a lot of it knowing that there will be a snap-back to simpler designs long-term, and it's happening now. And when I tried, it went nowhere. After months of work on my side project with Electron, Typescript, and Vue,

It's the second, younger generation of devs who are realizing that "complexity kills". Those of us who started in 2000's have already seen this. It's a natural cycle. We are seeing a spring-back to monoliths and awa

This is also why everything on the Internet is NOT forever. Eventually the data that you post on that one site will disappear, get absorbed into some data lake when the company goes under, and eventually get out of date and become irrelevan
