For whatever reason, real people seem to desperately want Openclaw regardless of it being AI generated slop.

> Maybe the feeling is real, maybe it's to justify the greed to one's self (like you seem to be doing)

For what it's worth, I do not own any spcx shares. I just think there's something fascinating happening here, and dismissing it as a mere scam because we dislike Elon Musk would be silly.

> this company is selling the idea of an interstellar future to do the same

It is also, perhaps, one of the easiest and more effective ways in which an individual can vote for such a future.

I don't think so https://archive.fo/zcVCZ

You've got people all over the place saying things like this:

>Bryan Mitchell, in Indianapolis, is among those planning to buy. The 48-year-old marketing executive intends to invest several thousand dollars in the IPO. He has also poured tens of thousands into Baron Partners Fund, which holds a stake in SpaceX.

>“This feels like the appetizer. You have to believe in Elon,” he said. “I’m willing to overpay for it just to say I’m part of the thing.”

Bryan isn't being scammed, Bryan just wants to feel like he's a part of something greater and is willing to pay for that. It's not surprising that space travel would be the thing to inspire vast amounts of retail investors to behave in that manner.

>GameStop was a public market mania.

Was?

>In an IPO insiders and banks package the story

This is only true at a very theoretical level.

Gamestop wasn't a scam either, even if the buyers have been irrational.

> Over here minors can't enter into debt contracts like credit cards

In basically all of the western world minors can enter into debt contracts, but are generally not seen as particularly creditworthy.

Yes

> Are there no checks?

No

>Wouldn't the contract be void for anyone underage anyway?

Typically not

If someone claimed to have a CIA background solely on the basis that In-Q-Tel funded their mapping software, they'd be a charlatan. Just as a guy selling toilet paper to the CIA is not necessarily someone embedded in the intelligence community.

This is not at all an honest way of saying "Niantics founder raised money from In-Q-Tel"

As an European, this attitude is absolutely fucking shocking.

Police force their way into my home without excellent cause to do so? I'd want someone executed. It would be unforgivable.

It has nothing to do with the guns, but with the absolutely gross violation of the most basic rights codified by the ECHR.

>This would be more about privacy violations and unnecessary chicanery.

Which is actually worse than the typical American shooting. US cops do not typically go to the scene planning to murder someone, in this case the German cops very much knowingly went to harass someone for calling the German interior minister a prick. It is absolutely egregious premeditated harassment.

German minister of interior, the guy in charge of the police, sending the cops to harass people for calling him a prick. Even the current US admin is not so thin-skinned.

How could Google possibly decide which defamation claim is valid and which is not? What realistic cost-effective alternative do they have which does not involve accepting every report of defamation at face value?

>The US has no strict defamation law and yet your bad review will often still get removed from Amazon or Yelp for no valid reason.

Amazon and Yelp choose to do that, they are not forced to do that. How is that supposed to be even vaguely relevant?

Or what, do you think it's a genuinely good thing that hosting negative reviews is essentially illegal in Germany?

To frame this as something that should happen is just taking an overly simplistic view on how fighter jet development works. Even if everything went perfectly, it's far from obvious that a Franco-German designed fighter could be better than a purely French one.

It's not like this exclusively affects restaurant reviews, every corner of German society is subject to this same evil censorship mechanism.

Broad defamation laws always have overwhelmingly negative consequences.

Genuinely, by far the most common situation where claims of defamation arise in Germany is any less than 5 star review left to a business on google maps.
