Lol He's trying to turn Twitter into a clone of the one successful project he's ever been involved with because he's that unimaginative, but he almost killed that one too

Fun fact: Elon bought a McLaren after the PayPal money came in and Thiel was a passenger when he crashed it way back in 2000. It was a serious accident but we all got unlucky and they were fine.

He believes that a censorship AI "death star" is being created from looking at twitter posts, and that Elon Musk is helping stop the censorship death star by limiting the posts and keeping the internet open. It's like the guy started with exact opposite premise "musk is keeping the internet free" and worked his way backward to figure out how it's true. AHHHH my head hurts.

zetamind2000 posted:as bad at coding as he is posting, you love to see it No it was like a way to disrupt the loan industry and people made off with a ton of money before they realized how stupid the idea was. this was Peter Theil on it: quote:I was thinking of doing a book on PayPal … and [the chapter on Elon Musk] was going to be titled, “The man who knew nothing about risk.” … We had decided to give a credit card to anybody who wanted them. You got up to $10,000 credit limit. Elon had told the woman who was rolling the service out that he wanted 1 million people to be using the new credit card by the end of the year. Fortunately, it was about two levels down from the front page, and so not that many people were able to discover this. Some people did. They wrote us back and said, “You know this is fantastic! I haven’t had credit in years. I can’t believe you’re offering me credit. I haven’t even had a checking account in 10 years!” … We ended up with something like a 50% charge back rate—the worst subprime companies are like 4%-6%. And then, happily, we sort of rolled that product back very quickly. TheMightyBoops has issued a correction as of 17:21 on Jul 2, 2023 |

Most servers run on Linux. I use Windows personally but not for work so I can't speak to whether running servers on it is a BAD idea, but it's definitely not a particularly good one worth rebuilding all your server code in a different language for
