The proposed company would build cars and rockets, operate cabs, build and maintain data centers, offer AI subscriptions, internet subscriptions, sell batteries, and operate a social media platform. Such synergy must bring amazing opportunities for cost reductions all across the company.

That Verge source as enshittified itself bigly with their subscription overlay, anti-scroll javascript, and nagging. If they can't operate a site without these dark patterns, they don't deserve any visitors at all. They must have run out of VC money because it all went to AI.

There are more electric vehicles on the second hand market nowadays. so it's only natural that more will get bought. the rest is propaganda.

It's true. These predictions change every few years, proving that all earlier predictions were therefore wrong. Which in turn lowers the probability that this time, the prediction will be correct. These doom predictions are nothing new. Acid rain, the ozone hole, global cooling, global warming, sea level rise, disappearance of ice caps and glaciers, extinction of polar bears, no drinking water, global famine, CO2, NO2, methane, mercury, the sun dying, the moon drifting off, and now the collapse of the atlantic gulf stream. I think we'll be OK.

The entire mission is obviously an AI fake. As acclaimed physicist Joe Rogan explained, they crew would be dead once they'd hit the Van Allen Radiation Belt (tm)

I'll take 'what is Clean-room design' for $50, Alex

The people who refuse to use it or can't align with agents will not be producing software in 10 years from now.

The first thing I'd do is open up the device and desolder anything connected to network or wifi. Then connect a raspberry pi running Linux to it and I can display all the art I want - no ads!

Assuming by the downvotes you must be both 100% correct and directly countering the propaganda. The internet is absolutely flooded with pro-Russia and pro-China apologetic posts these last weeks: here, on X, HN, reddit - it's everywhere I look and it's really obvious. Anything countering it is immediately moderated and removed, but these bots seem to have complete freedom.

In the end all the Russians do with that precious RAM is bolt it onto a drone with C4 and send it into residential areas in neighboring countries. They don't care.

Always nice to bash Microsoft, but Copilot runs on gpt-5. Isn't OpenAI to blame?

Somebody has to pay for all the AI investments!

Will you be alllowed to enter the US with a boat full of bananas, then just start sellling them on the street, and then disappear? I guess not!

You'd be better to shup about other countries if the world's trading systems are too complicated to grasp.
