So how long to the next major Twitter outage? And let's define major as 12 hours of downtime. I'm going to predict something fails by December 10th.

Knowing some people at Tesla, you'd be surprised how many are willing to give up on any work-life balance for a chance to work for "a visionary" and to "change the world". Musk has a lot of weird cult-like fans. Although thankfully with more competition out, people obsessed with electric cars can actually work somewhere else. SpaceX employees are still getting super abused though because if you want to "do space stuff" you basically have no other choices at the moment. So you're going to be working 60-80 hour weeks, or GTFO.

However, people ALREADY at Twitter didn't come there for Musk and are very unlikely to take this type of poo poo. Also "work at a software company" is not a motivating factor that you can't simply do at a million other places (and now with better benefits).

I don't think it's a coincidence that in the fictional life Chandler Halderson presented to his parents, he had a super duper high paying job at Space-X. Before he murdered both of them and tried to incinerate their bodies in the living room fireplace.

He's going to shove Twitter codebase into a Tesla and tell it to do the auto-pilot stuff that he can't get to work for the last 10 years. Then his AI issue is solved! All tesla car's decisions on what to do would be crowdsourced from Twitter interactions. "Accident unavoidable: should I swerve and kill an old woman + dog or keep going straight and kill a child?

Logic bomb left in the Twitter code that adds randomized ethnic slurs to every tweet. If the code is removed, the website stops working altogether.

It takes Elon's handpicked programming team over a day to notice that there is anything wrong.

My dad worked at a national lab on rockets from the 80's until he retired last year and that's sorta just par for the course for a lot of it. Once he was a manager he had his hours down to 9-5 M-T with F off for over a decade, then COVID happened and he loved WFH for about a month, until he realized his life until he retired was 6-8 5 days a week.

once he finishes purging the twitter deep state & drains the swamp then we'll talk, but until then those 1.2mil likes are real.

i mean, they aren't real-real. but they're not like, dude-going-in-and-editing-the-numbers fake rn.

how did that end?

Howard Hughes bought out a hotel in Vegas so he could live in the penthouse, never leave, and harvest his urine and nail clippings into jars because he was afraid they could be used to spy on him.

He at least had the excuse that he was massively injured when his prototype racing airplane crashed (I think this is what the DiCaprio movie was about?). Elon, on the other hand, was broken by the internet.

Whether any of them will actually pony up the $8 once it’s their own money on the line of if they like the results when it finally happens is another story.

Cybernetic intelligence is more accurate if you assume it’s just a bunch of bots talking to each other instead of people.

Normally to get this kind of brilliant insight you’d have to listen to Alex jones rant about the largest AI in the world being traffic lights and that the AI only controls us if we let it.
