Musk himself seems to abhor guardrails generally—except in cases where guardrails help him personally—preferring to hurriedly ship products, rapid unscheduled disassemblies be damned. That may be fine for an uncrewed rocket, but X has hundreds of millions of users aboard.
Grok: writes embarrassing words.
Rockets: can weigh hundreds of metric tons, carry explosive chemicals, can crash into populated areas resulting in loss of life.
In this discourse, anyone else find a broken sense of proportion & consequences at stake?
Well, technically, Twitter has employees, so in very strict sense, they’re “manned”. However, thanks to these weird incomprehensible things called “current legislation” and “capitalism”, no employee is in fact personally responsible for the fuckups. And neither is the company as a whole! …Isn’t this great?
Then it’s a good thing you’re not in charge of risk assessment, because the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into the ocean pales in comparison to the loss of life caused by the right-wing shift that Twitter has facilitated, both worldwide and particularly in the USA
How do you control the course of a failing rocket?
Are you claiming such misdesign is impossible?
The fact remains that a physical potential of death & injury exists in what is technically a missile of significant weight carrying enough explosive substance to escape orbit that is entirely absent from words.
The difference between non-0 and 0 possibility of death/injury.
Unless magic exists, words are incapable.
Do you claim magic exists?

Rockets: Unmanned
Twitter: Manned
The difference in importance seems correct to me

Again, total lack of perspective.
this comment is preposterous.
