As more and more browsers are enshittifying, this is a small reminder that Brave is not a great alternative.

Think this might be the first tweet of Roko I somewhat agree with. At least Roko did something somewhat intellectual in creating pascals wager for nerds. Musks intellectual accomplishments are worse. He thinks the derivative function is some sort of glorious masterpiece of math, and he doesn't seem to understand chess. I think the only things he really created was the handle that sinks into the car, and the look of the cybertruck.

Funny to see the Rationalists start to turn on their glorious savior from AGI doom. (Which has been happening for a while now it seems, some even argue he never actually interacted with anybody from the Rationality community (btw before he blocked people being able to see all people you follow on twitter he followed slatestarcodex)))

I expected a story of a patent/trademark troll idea guy but this certainly went places.

Lot easier to do hype when you pretend the previous iterations didn't exist. (and still do, and actually have more content).

Xml also used to be a tech hype for a bit.

And i still remember how media outlets hyped up second life, forgot about it and a few months later discovered it again and more hype started. It was fun.

No they do not im afraid, hell I didnt even know that even ELIZA caused people to think it could reason (and this worried the creator) until a few years ago.

Re coaching. It is amazing how he went from young rich need to whatever he is now (not sure if the stories I heard about him wearing bronzer at the trump rally are true) vs bezos who went from rich young nerd to lex luthor lookalike. Or even Zuckerberg who after all the alien jokes prob got help and now looks like a normal person.

He claims he has autism, but because his first wife left him after she got her adhd meds he hates adhd meds. So dont worry about him turning into an adhd high functioning example.

Has his schtick always consisted mostly of awkward pauses and ers and ums or is this a new thing?

Yes that always was his thing. Some people rationalize it to themselves by going 'he is such a genius his head has so many ideas he struggles to express them'. I think he might have adhd.

I hope they get how this : "You’ll be a multi-channel online communications pro before you know it" is actually a bad sign

Considering the important parts of that, aka the languages can be done by your phone sure. But it would at least have a minimal use. R2 d2 needs special attachments to serve drinks.

The cybertray, competitively priced at 4000$ and the reported risk of it breaking when wet is fairly minimal.

I know im a big nerd but "Musk also presented the Optimus robot, your plastic pal who’s fun to be with — “your own personal R2-D2, C-3PO!”.

Why would I need an astromech droid Musk? At least a GNK droid provides power. Stupid sexy gonk droid.
