It's just gorgeously satisfying to see this shining beacon of capitalism walk into rakes again and again while a chorus of sycophants cheer him on for his genius invention of the Manually Operated Kinetic Self Concussion Device Unlike Trump, Elon actually cares about what his detractors think and so desperately wants to be loved by everyone that he's just Sad All The Time and there's a deep dark satisfaction to be had at a visible reminder that money can in fact not save you from being a white South African

The original Hyperloop pitch wasn't even an original idea he just stole it from that weird early 00s webcomic where a detective travels to an alternate libertarian dimension with taking chimps.

Does Polytopia have tanks? Chess doesnt have tanks. Musky knows how to win a war, he's played sooo many hours of polytopia on his tesla.

It's like a goon with lots of money and instead of focusing on using that money for good, spent so much of his life writing DEAR RICHARDs and wanting to get a gangtag started off his own poo poo meme or catch phrase. But, y'know, on a much larger scale because there are governments and businesses using that website.

Strong Sauce posted:a lot of people who don't write software think of code way too visually, "block access to surface road maps for these specific cars and 'shove' in the tunnel layout" might be a real easy task if it was preplanned to support that, or it might take a 2 year rewrite of the code to support it. So in other words it's impossible for Tesla.

Only the first 36 pages of this webcomic are free. There's a text novel available through the usual sources. I might read some of it, I'm vaguely curious as to how the author rationalizes the existence of a utopia where all the self-centred libertarians are armed yet peaceful, and somehow have nice streets in nice cities, and medical care etc., without presumably paying any taxes.

I might read some of it, I'm vaguely curious as to how the author rationalizes the existence of a utopia where all the self-centred libertarians are armed yet peaceful, and somehow have nice streets in nice cities, and medical care etc., without presumably paying any taxes. the same way they all do: mythical post-scarcity caused by complete capitalism with a ???? in place of how we actually get there. but as all libertarian things, it's a front- a ploy. They know to some degree this is magical wishful thinking, but the idea that their ideology will lead to a utopia justifies the social upheaval and evils necessary to get there (ends justify means after all), and once they are where they actually want to be they can just stop. Where do they want to be? fascism, the answer is fascism. they just want to hold the slave leash. The libertarian plan is as follows: Pursue short-term deregulation and tax reductions to benefit themselves and isolate themselves from the implications of this on society via personal wealth. then use the law to enforce their elite position by busting up unions and enforce anti-worker policies while privatizing social goods for their own gain. with both of these accomplished, limit political access to only the wealthy via poll taxes. finally, enshrine their control of society by ceding the monopoly on violence of the state to private corporations. the end-goal is a corporate society enforced by courts that punish workers for speaking out, and a weakened state apparatus with all democratic functions only accessible by the wealthy. this is also why they use weed and guns as a way to get idiot leftists onboard. they don't give two shits what drugs the workers may or may not be on, and then having easy access to violence (but never being able to group up or band in solidarity to use it as a mass) can be used as a way to keep them fighting each other. a little bit of quiet propaganda to keep out-groups fighting each other goes a long way to enforcing the chosen system, and with a strong privatized security apparatus individual firearms are a non-issue towards the actual elite class. hell in a libertarian utopia the workers all dying to fentanyl at the age of 30 means less old people around which is a net gain for the elite.

I read the probability broach years ago because the first edition had a space gorilla on the cover who was gavelling in a session of congress ( in the libertarian future gorillas, apes and sentient dolphins are all citizens of the super USA and also they're colonizing the solar system too) and there's barely any attempt to explain how a government that can do nothing means it won't do anything and this magically solves every problem in the universe and sparks a libertarians revolution worldwide. It's just so obvious a solution! In contrast the "original" world that the novel starts out in is a straight out of the 70s ecotopia fascist state where BIG GOVERNMENT banned guns and meat and smoking and the EPA is a super fun-hating police force. The whole series of novels that started with this one are just over the top libertarian propaganda and at least one of them won a "prestigious" literary prize for libertarian fiction. That sounds impressive except the prize was created by the author. So basically 10 minutes after someone @'s elon about it expect to see it on his nightstand.

Looking at a video of the loop, I'm sure the cars could manage the actual driving around the loop. It looks to me like the drivers are there to handle the loading and maneuvering around in that busy boarding area, which autonomous vehicles absolutely would not be able to handle reliably.

If they didn't want to, they'd just use their gun. If their parents didn't want them to, they'd just use their guns. If they didn't want their parents to not want them to, they'd just use their gun. There are no problems when you have gun.

The drivers are there because they can't stop the Teslas from thinking they are on the roads above and driving like it because Tesla Self Driving is so very good. If only there were a more efficient system to move people from one place to another on a single, narrow tunnel. Maybe something on a rail? Just spitballing here. I'm sure having a dozen Teslas was the only way to do this.

Nah, the American Way is to berate someone with slurs first, if that doesn't work, you fight them. And if you start to lose the fight THEN you shoot them. Bonus points if you act all cool (in your mind) while limping away from the fight you lost, get your gun out of your car, and then go back and shoot them.
