Another question is whether it is defendable at this point. It's not clear that China doesn't have military superiority over that area.

I heard someone say this last week and they never went to prison.

We all do. Humanity is better off thanks to the industrial revolution.

You wouldn't choose to back to the prior time and same will be true with this revolution.

This is only because they still haven't bothered to update to the internet enabled world.

Rich vs poor. The rich can literally chop off food and throw it in the trash.

Does that mean the people defending the misuse of the word "recall" are regulation cultists?

Karpathy, Carmack, Andreesen, Jensen, Dawkins and others who know him IRL say the same. It's endlessly curious how people who don't know him are confident they know better.

To be fair, it was never everyone. Twitter was always small compared to Facebook and other networks.

It punches above its weight because it's where the cultural elite communicate.

Anyone know the math on how many crashes it would take until this would equalize?

He's trustworthy.

If he had that level of neuroticism he would just not say anything or only offer surface level praise.

They just started, the velocity of xAI is novel.

NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang: “Building a massive [supercomputer] factory in the short time that was done, that is superhuman. There's only one person in the world who could do that. What Elon and the xAI team did is singular. Never been done before.”

Richard Dawkins: "I have a very favorable impression of Elon Musk and his concern for the welfare of the world.

I have sat with [Elon] on a transatlantic plane and had a very, very long conversation with him. He's undoubtedly highly intelligent and knowledgeable.

I've had lunch with him on two or three occasions, and so I know him a little bit.

I have formed a very favorable impression of his intelligence, his knowledge and his concern for the welfare of the world."

Sorry, but that is mental gymnastics. You've already made your conclusion and are torturing reality to make it fit.

It's actually amazing looking at this map on a percentage basis.

States with 10 million plus customers that only have a few thousand without power.

Incredible achievement if you think about it.

Move fast and break things is what built Silicon Valley and the modern world. It works, demonstrably.

The way the government has been run the past decades doesn't work, demonstrably. Every important metric has worsened.

I'm legitimately curious about this as someone observing from the outside.

Were they on edge when Zuckerberg had a leftward shift in prior years?

And where is the center?
