Zucker just keeps failing up.

Several doctor friends told me your doctor friends aren't real.

The US' refusal to move to a single-payer system, while refusing to accept a world where poor people just die if they can't afford healthcare, creates a lot of deeply weird side effects.

It's marketing. That's how marketing works.

And it’s far more important in capitalism than your products.

With the advent of AI, startups become solely about marketing, sales, and defensibility.

So most of the capitalist system will become of this nature. Doesn’t seem like such a good system, and inevitably unsustainable.


Very few people down here want to ride in them, and I have multiple friends with hilariously disastrous stories.

Most of the Waymo stories are "Well, it took 15 minutes to arrive, but then it was fine, if a little slow."


Wamyos in SF are nearly indistinguishable from ubers/lyfts at this point. Maybe a bit slower if you don't have the highway mode enabled on your account, but they are everywhere and arrive within 5min most of the time I order one. I've ridden them so often I've lost count.

You'd have to pay me to ride in a Tesla robotaxi. That tech isn't anywhere near the same as Waymo.


He wants it to tell the truth as he sees it.

Truth doesn’t have the right training weights for Elon

This fellow Shawnee Mission East alum gets it.

It's almost like war is a bad thing.

One of the first things help desk scammers do is convince people to turn off antivirus and/or Windows Defender on their computers.

Some people insist there is no difference between a product and a capability and I honestly don't know to communicate to those people.

My contention is that the definition of said product and its inherent capabilities is being gatekept by a corporation that would love you to buy both an iPhone and Mac, and treat them as separate. In fact, I do have both already! But I still want rights to modify my iPhone as the computer it is.

The MacBook Neo is a great example of just how fungible these categories are, at least as far as the SoC that runs them is concerned. I paid for my iPhone in full, there is no reasonable justification for why I can’t repurpose it / modify it as I see fit.


Because those people reject the principles that uphold that distinction, and so do I.

Just out here buying furnaces and using them as grills.
