Replacing hardware safety systems with software is a good idea. Do not Google Therac 25

Yeah that's one of the in worst examples. People got bombarded with massive beta radiation cause no one really tested anything


The self driving car tech Tesla deploys makes me feel the same way. No one really tested this

This may be a computer toucher comment but I feel his attempt at PayPal to replace Linux servers (proven technology, old, what everyone uses) with Windows NT 4.0 servers (janky as hell, costs more) says too too much about the guy

Yeah that's the thing. As much as say Gates was evil he made actual software and made a major innovation (let's integrate documents, spreadsheets, and presentations). Musk has done nothing

As much as we hate it ms office was a major step

I didn’t watch it. I haven’t watched SNL for years. I just watch clips when I hear they’re actually funny. I doubt anything Clyde was in was remotely funny. I’m sure he’s up there with Seagal as one of the worst hosts they’ve ever had.

This is really the only right answer. Some people just aren't comedians (I think Gretzky), but Seagal refused to get over himself

It's good for prototyping and getting an idea of what you want to do. If you need speed you'll need to start writing extensions in C++ or something. But I mean Django, numpy, scipy >>>> anything web3 devs have ever made

they also just operated illegally in every market they opened in until they were too big to shut down, and then they bought the legislation to make their service legal.

their entire business model is "we built an app and passed the entire cost of operation on to the contractors who use it" and somehow they're still not profitable

And knowingly so right up to blacklisting regulators from being able to hail them using geofencing

Elong has been regularly flouting regulations and breaking laws with essentially zero consequences. What's stopping him from ignoring the agreement if he doesn't want to buy twitter? Who's willing to enforce it? It would be great content if he was forced to buy, but I doubt that's how it's going to play out.

I actually think the cringe humor is on purpose to feed his cult.

Normal sane people: That isn't funny, clearly bad, what is wrong with you?
Cult: That is amazing, good job sir, you know, Musk is working on a level far above you normies that just don't get the joke and how funny it is. But me, I get it, therefor, I am operating on somewhat the same level as Musk because our superior brains get the joke.

I say he might be right. Consider how much of the right is run by ODD - "gently caress off dad" - at the moment

Seeing everyone sane yell at them might scratch that itch
