Some (Ed zitron?) have suggested the convertible notes were payment for compute or training. Which seems to track reality because for some reason they've still got 90%+ of the cash they raised over the last couple years. How likely is it? In any event with 50-100b of IPO cash, they seem prepared to survive massive losses for years ? Looks like infinite money glitch.

Sure. My kids trump unhinged account already got more money from some other would be oligarch in oligarch stocks. I've been waiting for them all to plant the seeds of bootlicking.

False. I do not have to participate. Solvency guaranteed.

Yeah I live and work effectively in a bubble where people hold many of those views, some maybe hold all those views, at least the non caricature versions. It's never been an issue for me. Has it been a problem for you? Where and how? Can you share why this is so important to you?

I don't know anything about the WNBA or its rules so I don't have an opinion. I also do not care.

The purposeful performative confusion of sex and gender in these pissy little comments does nothing except signal your teammates. Do you deny the existence or distinction of biological and cultural characteristics? Nature vs. nurture? Like you can disagree with all this stuff without pretending to be a fucking idiot.. would you try it sometime? We might actually get somewhere.

Yeah except you offer a vague non specific example that I don't encounter in my woke reality in contrast to an executive order by POTUS. They aren't really the same.

Vpn and torrent are even better. No compelling case against it, even legal ones. Well if you don't have the hdd space already, there might be a financial case against it. But it's ok to infringe copyright and it's easier and better than ever.

Holy shit that got funny at the end?

I want to thank you for a delightful trip down memory lane. A reminder of the classic slashdot threads that hooked me nigh on 30 years ago...

Lol this guy is trying to hard in this thread

He's also going to dump these risks on the public while all his early investors make off like bandits based on the valuations achieved by these the preposterous claims. Nothing remotely close (within 2,3 or 4? orders of magnitude?) are possible on this timeframe. Of course by that time spaceX will be IPOed all investors will have exited (twitter the bailed out failure and xAi under this scheme) and the lions share of risks of this failure will born by the public funds that will have to buy massive amounts of this insanely large company when it's included on all major indices.

No he revealed himself as a piece of shit and a fraud years before that

Sounds good to me! They can pass them on to their customers. Then we can each voluntarily decide if those products and their actual costs including externalities are worth it. Sounds like a basis upon which to construct a rational market place rather than opaquely burying the true cost of their business using subsidies comprised of my tax dollars. Would be great if their heavy vehicles paid their share of road wear too, so the full costs of their products were built into the prices consumers pay rather than me! I guess giving rich people handouts to let them grow richer is cool too.
