It’s never too soon, or too often.

Not as far as I can tell, he’s doing squat other than tweeting and dismantling the government at the present. And he’s fried his brain with drugs so far it’s going to be impossible to recover.

Sigh, just because he’s a moron about most things doesn’t mean it’s true about everything. Just watch some of his interviews with spaceflight journalists and you’ll see he knows his stuff for a while and then slowly loses it over the years.

Humans have this infuriating habit of believing that because someone is distasteful they must be stupid in every possible way, but this is very rarely true. Oh, I wholeheartedly agree that he’s remarkably stupid, and I agree that at this time he knows very little about what’s going on at SpaceX, but you are ignoring the evidence if you believe it has always been this way.

Let’s be better than this and actually look at the facts, not the emotional reaction. You’ll come to the same conclusion either way - Musk is a horrible human being who has no right being anywhere near government, or even industry for that matter.

For a short couple years Musk actually was doing legitimate engineering work at SpaceX. Yes it was high level, but it did involve proper work and deep understanding of the systems. And yeah, Shotwell had to stop him from making several critically bad decisions during that time (like canceling Falcon Heavy).

I know all the Musk haters will disagree with me on the idea he did contribute to the engineering, but it’s extremely well documented by both the employees at the time and spaceflight journalists.

But honestly before and after that, I can’t think of anything else he really did at a technical level though.

Something like 7% to 13% of poll responses are just trolling anyway (look up Lizardman’s Constant) and can’t be trusted. Assuming that ALL the trolls are voting to help Trump, we can see how many people unironically thinking that Trump it’s good.

So a minimum of 43% - 13% = 30% of people are legitimate cultists.

This is killing so many small businesses. I know mine is basically dead now

I’m not anti-AI like most of the people here on Lemmy, but I’m certainly not as bullish on AI R&D as the author. Current techniques are not sufficient to replace expert humans, and it’s unclear if they ever will be.

Right now I expect AI to grow to replace non-experts in most text-only jobs, but it will probably take a full redesign of the algorithms to go beyond that. Like, you can only get so far by doing the statistically correct thing - research progress happens by thinking outside the box.

Modern AI video models do frame interpolation too, at a quality far superior to old AIs. It’s not advertised as heavily but it’s definitely a capability that is directly useful for traditional animation studios.

A lot of bots would lose their jobs if Twitter shut down. Think of the computers!

In some cases, lost son is gained daughter.

But legality hardly matters for the rich
