Expect that this is total BS, either because he watched some episodes of “how it’s made” and had to immediately share the profundity with his brilliant engineers as a lame flex, or he is trying to get out in front of a general rejection of the fashion of his demolition man meme mobiles by giving no room for error from his engineers to make a mistake which will allow him to blame rhe ugliness on microscopic variations in plate size.

What do you consider bullying if not just doing shitty things to people because you can?

There are two techs. There is engineering tech like Steve Wozniak at Apple tech, and there is marketing “Tech” like Elizabeth Holmes at Theranos tech, and Sam Bankman-Fried at FTX tech, and Elon Musk tech. The latter is a series of grifts under the brand of “Tech”

Cloud hosting does not fit in that. The service they offer is datacenters. Nobody was running an equivalent datacenter before in their server closets at the office. Taxis and television are modestly changed but datacenters for running technical operations are on a different planet than the on-prem infrastructures they replaced.

The gravity of mortality though probably didn’t even exist in her brain based on this story. Yeah no shit driving into a brick wall can kill you, she threatened that specifically. I guarantee the discourse here has prevented zero additional death-by-intentionally-driving-into-a-brick-wall murder stories. Nobody is becoming less dumb by pointing out how stupid this girl is, preventing another idiot from intentionally driving into a wall in order to control her codependent relationship. It’s not endemic and pointing out how brains develop and where this girl was at is not going to make it so. You aren’t preventing more death-by-driving-into-a-brick-wall copycat crimes of passion. Raising awareness about mental issues (including developmental stages) can help people prepare for and prevent their own tragedies better. Congrats though, thanks to you I will definitely not drive into a brick wall.

Where does parody fit in? There are a lot of examples of restaurants like this and all seem to be based on a play on words/tongue in cheek parody of pornhub due to the names of their businesses, however they are not using the name pornhub at all just the style of text inside the orange and black pill

Literally the risk averse part of the brain is the one still in development.

Crazy how we are now talking about losing everything from the past few decades of human history because of a story about videographers losing their video data on a quality control issue.

If there is a will to maintain it, it will endure. If there is no will, should it endure?

The word convicted is in fact hyperbole here because it’s a criminal law terminology and this context it is used in is from a civil litigation. The civil judgment of his guilt in this case is different from the criminal convictions that he faces in his newer indictments from federal and state prosecutors

“I Am” in particular carries the nuance of a proper noun in this context, I think, the same way we would use “I” when describing our own activity. I think an apt way to interpret it is such like:

‘Now “I Am” become death, the destroyer of worlds’

Like, it’s not the simple “I” as we refer to ourselves, but rather the Great “I Am” for the ultimate being. It’s used in place of just “I” and the places where it is used make sense from our perspective if rewritten as such. Hopefully that is something more relatable for modern audiences.

So what do you call it now that Musk censors at the request of authoritarian governments?

This would require either a central authority for registering and managing the identities, or the path of distributed ledger, where identity is confirmed with digital signatures when transacting - the second option is what crypto is. Some type of Blockchain tech could service it but all crypto related technology is buried in bad optics right now due to the current state of it being a big mouse trap setup by venture capital to squeeze money out of people without the protections of regulation afforded by their centralized identity management (which is run by the native government that the users are a citizen of.)
