What is the difference between its function and a human brain, fundamentally? We just absorb stimuli and react according to rules mediated by our internal structure.

Thr podcast "Capitalisnt" had an episode interview (came out today, i think) of an author who wrtor a book on democracy and capitalism that is likely relevant here.

Though, given Musks a) questionable actions in the last as a company owner and b)appearance with Murdoch at the super bowl and also c) behavior in regards to Twitter, it is unlikely he cares about egalitarian govt or a fair, regulated market

I’d start wearing a mask if I was a female twitch star…

Still a twat

She's worth about 3/4 of a billion. She can do whatever she wants at this point. I assume Google paid rent in shares or she got into one of the early funding rounds.

The heat wave hit 110s to 120 on certain days. Doubt Texas ever had to handle that high for an extended time.

They’re tired if being without electricity. Careful though, Paxton & Abbot will figure out a way to charge you more or outlaw solar panels like AZ did.

I copy and pasted all your comments in this thread into chatGPT and asked it to critique you. Lmao

“Overall, these comments are dismissive and sarcastic, and lack constructive engagement with the topic at hand. The commenter seems to be defensive and may not have fully understood the point being made.

Firstly, the initial comment "Not true, in these parts we don't wait for government to do everything for us" seems to be a strawman argument, as the original point being made was not about waiting for the government to do everything, but rather the need for a comprehensive energy infrastructure that provides reliable and sustainable energy for everyone.

The commenter then goes on to brag about their personal use of solar power, while also accusing others of not doing enough. This tone comes off as condescending and unhelpful.

Moreover, the claim that using solar energy frees up power and resources for those who can't is not necessarily true, as the energy infrastructure is not that simple. The commenter is also dismissive of the original point that lack of energy security is a serious issue, and may not be aware of the challenges that come with relying solely on solar power.

The commenter's response to the rebuttal seems to be defensive and unproductive, with more sarcastic remarks and personal attacks. They accuse the other person of lacking education, without actually engaging with the substance of the rebuttal.

Lastly, the commenter's claim that local utilities are disincentivizing the use of solar by reducing purchase rates and adding extra fees may have some truth, but it is a very simplistic view of the situation. There are many factors at play, including the need to maintain and upgrade the energy infrastructure, and provide reliable energy for everyone, not just those who can afford solar panels.

In conclusion, the comments lack substance and a constructive engagement with the topic at hand, and instead, are dismissive, sarcastic, and defensive.”

So it’s just a better version of the chat bots that’ve been around for a decade?

Pretty sure Elon/Tesla haven't even been fulfilling their obligations to the State of NY for the Tesla facility in question. They're supposed to hire X number of workers by Y year for this facility and they're nowhere near meeting the numbers.

This was one of the funniest comment threads I've read in a while. Thanks for that haha. And seriously the rod up texasauras's butt must have a rod up its butt. Text book whiner who cannot follow the plot of a conversation when it's literally narrated to him.

On script for Elno.

Anyone who trusts it deserves what they get

It's an amusing toy that may have some practical use in some areas after a lot of work

At its core, it's just math

Meanwhile humans are still arguing about god and which one is the real one 😀

It’s not rich people bad, it’s not about buying a yacht for wealthy person to use, you’re using my thrown out example to explain to you the basics of something as literal.

People and organizations with a lot of stocks, use that stocks to buy an asset, they then take loans against that asset. Nothing stops a nonprofit from buying property, nothing says they can only own specific assets.

investing in property is a normal way to protect wealth. It’s not rich people bad, it’s this is what’s normal. You might not like it but the difference between a nonprofit and a profit driven organization is that a for profit institutions goals is to increase profit for its shareholders. A nonprofit can do the exact same but instead be used to drive wages for the workers.

I’ve remodeled a nursing home which no longer existed but their paperwork was still there, that’s how I learned the not for profit was being used to fund the director because the director purchased the property the nursing home operated on, the nursing home took care of all maintenance and costs, and the director just took a large amount in rent. Very legal, very normal, very much a for profit hidden as a nonprofit

California shitting on Texas power grid is like that pointing Spider-Man meme.

Elon can afford breaking the law by firing these workers as it will cost him less in the long run then letting them unionize

"When the penalty for a crime is a fee, the law is for poor people"

Because he doesnt trust anybody else other than himself

General AI in theory would mean a easier/comfortable life for humans

But humans may end up becoming dumber. And in addition if the AI inventor was some kind of environmentalist.... he could set the AI to action based on "saving the planet"

Meaning shut off power, gas, factories (when not needed) etc.... even if it could mean some human suffering.

And a human couldnt override

Hailcorporate comment, right there.

How much do you get paid?

This is a dumb take

Correct, a self driving car is not general AI. And yes, it's a long way off. That's why Musk freaking out about ChatGPT is so hilarious.

That's the mark of a good con-man. They'll tell you exactly what you want to hear and sincerely believe their own BS.

That's the beauty of solar though - you don't have to wait for the government to do something. You can do "something" on your own.

Can't run nuclear in your backyard - but rooftop solar is getting more and more viable in more and more areas, even without government subsidies or power buyback programs.
