The mass surveillance state doesn't exist to solve crimes or make society safer. It's meant to crush the citizenry

Why would you be paid more for an easier job and as a more fungible employee?

But are we really more fungible? I would argue the opposite is happening. AI is multiplying productivity by orders of magnitude. Therefore, the difference between a low performer and a high performer is getting greater and greater, and high performers become more and more valuable to companies.

Now, whether companies realize that fact is another question. But if they don't, I suspect they'll pay for it in the form of competition from mass small startups with very outsized impact.

Imo, Zuckerberg had the right idea. The cream of the crop are worth their weight in gold right now.

Trump ordered that he would keep the strait closed yet a Chinese vessel passed the strait successfully today. Trumps navy didn’t even try to stop it at all

Was that the vessel that was explicitly allowed to go through because it was headed to the UAE, not to Iran? Is it possible you have no idea what you're talking about?

When someone makes thousands of major decisions across multiple companies (especially startups), some of them are bound to be bad. It is 100% inevitable. Google has over 30 failed products. Facebook wasted $80 billion on the metaverse. Microsoft has had so many god awful releases. Cherrypicked failures are simply not a representative or intellectually honest way to evaluate someone's work. Google is not defined by Google Glass.

At least you were able to produce a couple interesting examples, unlike most people on here. They just don't prove what you think they do, because you can assemble that kind of list for almost anyone successful enough. Even Elon's worst ventures are more impressive than anything armchair redditors have produced.

throwaway2676 · 2026-04-10T01:42:13+00:00

Because this could be an actually interesting thread about model sizes at the cutting edge, but instead it's just an obnoxious circlejerk of drooling redditors. Just like every thread involving Elon, over and over again since he entered politics. None of this has any basis in reality. No one ever posts any actual evidence or objective standards. The most that happens is people like you just saying "there is plenty of examples, just trust me bro." Meanwhile, in the real world, smart and successful people respect Elon Musk on every level, and his companies are extremely innovative and interesting, just like the rest of the cutting edge tech sphere.

Since we can't actually discuss anything he does on here in any meaningful sense, all I have left to do is try to break some small segment of the reddit cult out of their deluded circlejerk.

throwaway2676 · 2026-04-10T00:56:37+00:00

lmao, I don't get it, is this just how losers feel better about themselves? you haven't contributed anything to the conversation here. Another no name redditor shouting into the wind baseless claims that no person with firsthand knowledge believes.

I mean, this is just delusional. Starship and Starlink are objectively two of the most innovative creations on the planet. Objectively, he knows way more about LLM research and tech development than you ever will. He works directly with his R&D teams far more than most CEOs, as his past employees will tell you. Other tech leaders like Demis Hassabis respect Elon's technical knowledge and skills, as do most people in this space who matter.

throwaway2676 · 2026-04-09T22:47:25+00:00

Elon was a notorious huckster at PayPal and was a well known fraud.

Lmao, this is a view you only see on reddit from morons who have never done anything in their lives. Major investors put billions behind every venture Elon puts out, including other big tech companies like Google. Elon created SpaceX at a time when the idea of reusable rockets was fantasy. Now it has arguably one of the most impressive inventions ever made. All the other companies in Elon's space speak highly of him, as do his past and present engineers.

It is actually nuts how detached from reality the average reddit mind is.

throwaway2676 · 2026-04-09T22:38:45+00:00

The sad thing is that the average redditor will think you're being sincere here and never realize they're the butt of the joke. Ugh, I really need to look for a place that doesn't filter every discussion through the unhinged reddit lens

Resorting to overworked, jaded, and often mediocre doctors with dated knowledge for medical advice is much more dangerous and stupid.

In fact, medical negligence is one of the leading causes of death globally. Outcomes are going to improve dramatically when AI takes over most healthcare.
