Hold on, did a journalist make Musk do a seig heil?

A news reporter took over Musk's twitter and called a rescue worker a pedo?

It was totally CNN that forced Musk to mockingly run around with a chainsaw as he was cutting off the livelihoods of countless people!

His entire empire is based of of exploitation of inequality of economic power in the most extreme ways.

U.S. median household income is about $84k. Typical personal savings rate is 4% of income. Modern capitalism regularly wipes out gains entirely every decade or two, so we'll ignore interest for the sake of simplicity. So, the typical American household would save about $3.3k a year. It would take roughly 66 million years to reach Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

So yeah, some people will use billionaire as a "snarl word".

Why are you out here trying to do Bezos' PR for free? He's not going to pick you.

Comment Markdown and YAML (Score 2) 60

Markdown and YAML are definitely spiritual cousins.

* Simple
* Human-first editing
* Whitespace-significant / Diff-friendly
* Low-ceremony / Huffman-coded

Markdown of course is for freeform idea and narrative capture, whereas YAML is data.

But, they both share the opinion that XML/HTML are cursed for the most common use cases, and they're both mostly right on that account.

Comment Why isn't A.I. impressive? (Score 1) 211

MMmmm....lemme see now...

1) A.I. is driven by fanciful notions. For example, Hi I am Sam Altman, you should be using A.I. for everything, even if it doesn't work because I want to make trillions and well, basically have it tell me how to live forever and travel the Universe with my Trillions.
2) A.I. is fundamentally anti human, anti life and little too overly SATANIC, right down to its crappy language that forces everyone to use: Python. I will never write a single line of Python. If it isn't C or Java I am not interested. Why should I be?
3) The people pushing this fancy search engine, which they constantly spend millions to convince you otherwise, lie. Not just lie or mislead, they do it on purpose. ANYTHING so that the perception of A.I. IS NOT just a fancy search engine, but yet another stock opportunity.

Liars, cheats and not too terribly bright=A.I.

Science? Really? There's a lot of soft-brained, unscientific and technophilic pseudo-religion in the article.

Let's work with the argument's load-bearing phrase, "exploration is an intrinsic part of the human spirit."

There are so many things to criticise in that single statement of bias. Suffice it to say there's a good case to be made that "provincial domesticity and tribalism are prevalent inherited traits in humans", without emotional appeals to a "spirit" not in evidence.

There are numerous facts and points about how stupid this all is, and I am not going to cite all of them other than the fact this thing is now a huge GDP impactor on the USA economy.

Which I would like to point is nothing but a search engine. The Emporer has no clothes and there is nothing intelligent about it artifically or otherwise.

If it fails or tanks we could be looking at a sudden death of entire sectors of technology and industrial capacity which won't recover for decades, if ever. I wish I could say we had great minds, and wonder men like VonNeumann working on it with great chances of success.

I am sad to report however, that most of these people are not particularly bright nor are they all that great business leaders other than the fact some moron gave them all this money for one purpose only: Fire everyone nwo that we have a wunderbar machine and travel the Universe with our trillions and live forever.

I am not shitting you, that is what these people that head these A.I. companies are thinking.

I wish I could say this is going to be worse than the 1930's by some measure when it blows up, but alas, it will be unprecedented when it does and the only we to restablish order world wide after it does blow up is war, and authoritarianism.

Such a bright future too look forward to you 20's and 30's somethings.
