Alright, hit me: what are the tells that this is AI?

"All cameras that share video footage with a third party are mass surveillance" is a pretty reasonable stance, imo.

Ok, so, what was the evidence he was the one who stole the car?

A computer is only secure if it remains powered off and airgapped.

Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down

Drop it in a 43-foot hole in the ground

Bury it completely, rocks and boulders should be fine

> rocks and boulders should be fine

You’re setting yourself up for a supply chain attach here if you trust whatever rocks and boulders are sitting around. A well resourced adversary may have placed power supply boulders and wifi rocks in your back yard.

I keep a large supply of thermite on-hand just to make sure that the computer is completely burned every day after it gets dropped into the pit.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Straight Outta Lynwood was a great album. One of the CDs that I took out of my case the most often as a struggling nerdling who was still a year or two away from having scrounged up enough spare cash for a secondhand iPod.

Virus alert! I've also burned all of my clothes I may have worn any time I was online.

Why do you present this as a binary to agree/disagree with?

Simply because that is the maximally reduced case and it inevitably will result in the same situation.

> that is the maximally reduced case

It sure is.

> and it inevitably will result in the same situation

Why?

> With no massive loans on her books,

Except every newly-graduated veterinarian does have a massive loan on their books, in the form of student loans. And even if she didn't, where does the startup capital for her clinic come from? Whether in human or animal medicine, starting your own practice--especially as a new grad--is usually the course of action with the highest-risk-to-lowest-pay ratio.

Yeah but in a market where the current suppliers are satisfying demand, I feel like the churn just means your customers will go across the metaphorical street to the other guy, and you likewise have the opportunity to bring in someone from a competitor. So you still, of course, need to invest in marketing and retention, but as a means to maintain stability, not to grow forever. The cloud storage market feels pretty mature, so customers are going to be constantly shopping around for the best deal, or the best support contract, or whatever.

As the old joke goes, "How many output tokens does it take to change a lightbulb?"

> Elon thought of a way to virtually eliminate the land, heat, water, and energy impacts of datacenters

He has yet to do any of this. He had an idea that plenty of others have had, and have mostly dismissed due to concerns with feasibility. Granted, orbital DCs could one day be feasible with enough investment; I will not pretend that it is impossible. But for him to pretend that it is a solution for today's problems is at best the folly of a wealthy idiot and at worst a cynical attempt to juice the value of SpaceX before its IPO.

Elon has been called an idiot for every single one of his ventures. Again and again and again.

Maybe he'll fail this time. Maybe he'll figure it out.

But I like the fact that he is trying rather than spending his money on mansions and yachts.

> But I like the fact that he is trying rather than spending his money on mansions and yachts.

Don't worry, he's doing that, too. And I'd dispute that he's trying; I've seen the SpaceX S-1, and it's looking like he took a successful business and rolled some failures into it to move money around. Everything is just a vehicle to make him wealthier; I don't believe anything he says in regards to helping humanity with his ventures.

Which is, it should be said, also a dumb idea and a waste of money.

Which has also been said for every one of his enormously successful businesses.
