Oh wow, i didn't even catch that was 2500 paid subscribers, i though that was just idiotic wording for having a bunch of verified followers. That's less benefit than telling a waitress that she doesn't need to share her tips with the kitchen for a night

I'm surprised nobody's gotten on elon's case about lindoreo being a dei hire. Can he point to any benefit she's given the company?

I get that the most likely plan was just hiring a scapegoat, but he doesn't understand he needs to influence from the shadows for that to give him any real protection

“Going forward, it is mandatory in North America to activate X Premium+ and do a live demo of Premium+ features with all new sign-ups before handing over the account to them. Almost no one actually realizes how well Premium+ actually works. I know this will slow down the account creation process, but it is nonetheless a hard requirement.”

If god didn't want their words to be changed why did god invent white out!

Yeah, this horse poo poo is just so completely alien to me. I genuinely love to read and the experience of being transported to another world, and appreciating how a good author can use language to precisely convey thoughts, feelings, moods etc is something that keeps surprising and delighting me time and time again.

But I suppose "well well well, a woke dumbass made rings of power (because DEI hadn't been invented yet :crylaugh: :crylaugh:: crylaugh:) and doomed the world, but then a bunch of hobbits journey to the end of the world to throw the ring into a volcano to save the world. Now that's affirmative action :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh:" is also good.

Also, you often lose a lot when you summarize -although this does depend on the author and subject- and while sometimes this may not matter, on other stuff it does, and can help you develop a more in-depth view of a topic that just the dot points wouldn't.

I’m pretty sure it’s a No to all three. Richest man in the world, could task people to summarise books for him or to research anything he was interested in or wanted to understand, but he’s too busy reading tweeter and posting one word replies to think about anything else.

Yeah, same. It says so much about a certain sort of mind that Elon wants to use a machine to just tell him how every book ends so he can claim to have read it. Very revealing about what he (and people like him) think the purpose or enjoyment of reading is.

It's like the 1950s Drive-In Diner for Teslas he's building. It'll have a screen to show movies...but he's specifically said it'll only show clips of movies. Because why would you need to see anything but the most epic bits :crylaugh:? Would you rather see one film with 90% boring bits or 50 epic bits from 50 films?

A husk of a human being. Plus you can just imagine the clips Elon will tee up to be shown on a continual loop at his diner...
