"500 cycles is 18-24 months in EV time."

Citation please.

"I promise your EV car loan is a hell of a lot longer than that..."

There has never in history been an EV car loan "longer" than 500 cycles.

Doesn't sound like a false choice at all.

Considering the wild monthly fluctuation of Windows market share, it isn't that Linux gained 1% in 8 months it's that the data is garbage.

Non-technical articles appealing to non-technical people.

"Yeah, even golf courses use more water per day than this data center uses per year."

An average golf course uses 200M gallons PER YEAR, so you are off by two orders of magnitude.

"Golf courses and growing alfalfa in a desert should be much higher on the chopping block for water use."

There's a whole lot of data missing to support this argument and what little you provided is grossly, even comically, in error.

Don't forget that Altman says society own him the doubling of electrical generation capacity so that he and the crypto bros that fund him can have plenty of free power to accelerate their wealth. Those trillions need to come from somewhere, society owes it to them for free.

Sure Donald. And the wind turbines are killing the whales.

But what does your imaginary Microsoft/HP diatribe have to do with Musk suing OpenAI? Or is it just about demonstrating what a douche you are?

Right, he's angry that the code he stole from OpenAI generates content that he doesn't like.

"And rooftop solar..."
On the backs of researchers, other businesses and decades of work.

"...and making internet access available worldwide..."
Copying existing ideas and business plans while leveraging government subsidies.

"...and giving Ukraine internet access for free..."
LOL, by free you mean by being paid by the US government, then selectively blocking the service when it harms Russia and then giving Russia access.

"...allowing disabled people to control their environment"
Stop embarrassing yourself.

"Yes, in addition to being responsible for EV revolution..."
By stealing Tesla from its founders? LOL. And we do not yet know if BEV is even the right answer, for all we know Musk may have set EV's back considerably.

"But suing OpenAI for violating its founding principles may be the thing that has a positive impact."
It may have a positive impact, especially from your point of view, but that doesn't mean Musk intends that result. Musk is doing it because he wants to own it, not because he wants to eliminate it. Musk felt entitled to be named CEO of OpenAI and has held a grudge since.

There is the old joke from The Onion about Bill Gates: https://www.theonion.com/bill-...

This is now Elon Musk (and a few others, of course). Elon Musk gets half. “Everyone must contribute to my half,” Musk said. “Any number, no matter how small, can be divided into two halves, one of which will be mine.”

What damages has Musk suffered as a result of these alleged violations? What standing does he have?

He's not doing anything positive, just something that pleases you. He's trying to damage a competitor (that's he's also stealing from), nothing more.

"No one said there was no damage or no bad people were there."
FALSE, plenty of Republicans said it. What NO ONE said is that there were 3000, that's what you refuted.

"The vast bulk of people went on a selfie tour and left as per security video. A relative handful of knuckleheads did stupid shit."
You know there's video evidence, right?

"As far as the costs go, that $30m is a fake government number from the same people who pay $10 for a nail and $18000 for a toilet."
So NASA did the repairs.

"Painting an entire crowd as bad because a few were stupid is extremely intellectually dishonest."
That's your straw man.

"BLM caused $2 billion in damage. Sounds like the left is 65x worse than the right if you want to play that game."
Fake news.

"Mod me down now."
A great idea for all your posts.

Wow, couldn't even find data less than 25 years old for your troll?

"If 2000 people were running around smashing things there'd be a lot more damage than what happened."
How would you know? And who said 2000 people ran around "smashing things"?

"We are aware of about a dozen idiots worth of damage."
Who's "we"? And how do they assign "worth"? There is literally video...and convictions.

"Common sense has not prevailed."
Because you never had any.
