Completely agree. Making him less of a money maker is the best path forward for all of us. A Rivian will probably be my next ride. Really liking the look, performance and range of the R1S!

If it doesn’t matter to him, then why is he still trying way too hard?

Elon is destroying himself. Bad investment on Twitter and dumb political antics have made me no longer a potential buyer for a Tesla. I can’t be alone in this.

I’d be worried if Musk’s recent investments were worthwhile.

Couldn’t these easily triangulate a location since there’s a long string of satellites?

Not op, but I think a solution would be having AI watch the videos and tracking what the people are saying, wearing, using etc and posting links to purchase those things in the description. They get a cut of sales and can also sell links for competing products if companies want more exposure. This could be effective and noninvasive. Give a cut to content creators and it may be even more effective.

Finally update device drivers in Windows the right way!

Taylor Swift should write a country song that has subtle attacks against Trump that many of his followers will love and slowly understand the underlying message.

A working clock is always right!

Tell them it’s on Hunter’s laptop and watch them implode!

Caught me!

Oh yes - I was on Slashdot and I’ll throw in Fark. :-)

Where is that place?

Yep, dropped Digg for Reddit. Dropped Reddit for Lemmy. Will drop Lemmy for something else if I end up not liking it. 😎

I hope so and if true we have to trust the data. My vote is solid blue based on virtues and most policies. There’s probably a lot of others like me.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL MY BIDEN HATS, FLAGS, T-SHIRTS, AND STICKERS?!

/Just kidding - not in a cult 😅

My thoughts would be presented based the fact that you’ve asked me to calculate something. At that point, past experiences would guide my path forward. If I felt like doing math, I may do it, if I had poor childhood experiences in math class, I probably wouldn’t. At the end of the day, it’s all based on history or current questions/feelings. In every scenario my thoughts are presented to me. To prove it, ask yourself what your next thought will be. If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll see you can’t answer that question and when you try and force a thought direction, that direction itself is based on your knowledge from the past and that thought was also presented to you.

It’s wild because it absolutely feels like we have free will, but it sure doesn’t look like it. 🤷‍♂️

Do we have free will to think a given thought? All of my thoughts just suddenly appear in my mind or are connected to previous thoughts that suddenly appeared in my mind.

I didn’t the the argument was gun ownership as in all or nothing. I always thought it was around gun restrictions and ensuring the wrong people can’t easily get access to guns. Anyway, gun-owning liberal here armed and ready to take on some gravy seals.

Jumping in here with a couple cents. Background: Old millennial, paid off home, pension, 401K, 6 figs. I’ll be able to retire. My viewpoint: Automation and AI will accelerate. “Safe” jobs will be gone. In fact most jobs will be gone by 2029 (my guess). Goal: keep working and investing until I lose my job.

Hard times will hit because government is slow and wealthy people won’t care until it affects them. Once jobs are cut, profits for many businesses will fall because no one will be buying anything with the money they aren’t making. As big companies begin to fail, stocks will have already begun dropping. Wealthy will go after government and government will have to do something. Only good option to keep things running: Universal Basic Income. Question is where does the money come from? Answer: AI/robots will be taxed and taxed almost 100% more than a human. Why? They won’t care.

This leads us into humans have free-time to do whatever they like. Some can work where AI/robots fail for whatever reason, some can create new things using all the new tools. Businesses will still try and make the best products so the wealthy can still feel better with all the money that really won’t matter as much anymore. They’ll enjoy some exclusive things but it will likely be just locations and not technology.

TL;DR: Hell at first, then modern day renaissance.
