Someone here said it best: he’s like Malcolm gladwell where it sounds convincing if you don’t know anything about the topic, but if you do you’re like “wow this is all wrong and only superficially seems intelligent”

Imagine if a human being were the distilled thoughts of Thomas Friedman, Malcolm Gladwell, and Adolf Higler
He's a nerd that wants to be cool and drops terms from experts in his businesses. That's all. Anyone could sound smart if you repeated big words other people use in the public. And the meetings he sits (spies) on probably have a lot of jargon that he he doesn't understand or mistakenly understands. So, he pops up in a tweet the next day saying namespace and that's that. Which namespace has a meaning but that isn't even close to as bad as his space talk.

I think the best description of Musk's seeming "intelligence" was from a post (can't find it anymore) that was like: "Elon talked about rockets, and I don't know poo poo about rockets so I thought he sounded smart. Then he talked about electric cars, and I don't know poo poo about electric cars so I thought he sounded smart. Then he started talking about programming, and I've been a developer for 20+ years, so I realized he didn't have a loving clue what he was talking about. And that made me start wondering if he actually knows anything about rockets and electric cars."

Didn't Musk say that he didn't care about losing money in his fight with Brazil's courts/government? So if he capitulated, what changed?

Look I'm not racist but it's rather cliche that Mr.Beast is yet another white guy with an 830 credit score making videos about making GBS threads on a pile of cash and lighting it on fire. Doesn't sound like a good credit risk.

I'm just asking questions here but seems pretty suspicious. Tell me again I'm crazy for thinking the white people credit score starts at 800? Am I out of line here?

still bothered by Elon's use of "namespace" in that above screenshot, like anyone who's done any programming knows "namespace" is an actual term that means something. comp sci poo poo is the one thing this guy's supposed to be good at but all the evidence points to him being a huge dumbass there as well. like when he first bought Twitter and said poo poo like "oh this is easy to fix, we just need to rebuild the full stack".....ooooh sounds very smart unless you're familiar at all with what he's trying to say. people love to give him the benefit of the doubt because he's awkward and dorky, they think he's like Sheldon from Bing Bang Theory, but take it from someone who played Magic the Gathering for 15 years: those people can be absolute morons as well. sometimes they have emerald mines and government contracts though
If you don't think namespaces are appropriate to talk about in user name frameworks you've never forgotten to ban "admin" for public use.

Also he keeps saying some revolutionary technology is a couple years away and then a couple years pass and it still doesn't work and he says it's a couple years away again, and instead of investors bailing on that vaporware bullshit they shovel more money in because of FOMO.

Kit Walker posted:

Absolutely and yes plenty of them do just that. Especially for massive shows like Coachella where you don’t want to gently caress up in front of thousands of people
It can run a spectrum, like even heavily prerecorded shows can have some live elements, depending on what they want to achieve.

Also if the show has any pyrotechnics, those are going to be triggered manually. On top of the obvious safety concerns, the DMX control protocol for stage gear doesn't have any error correction, so it's prone to brief malfunctions from signal noise.

Dude's whole deal is getting attention with optimistic milestones and then repeating the cycle. Once upon a time I would have thought eventually being wrong over and over would come to bite you in the rear end but in my old age I know that's not true.

I'm a white boy, and it took me 50 years of loving up, then not loving up (too badly) to reach 800. I didn't start out wealthy, though.
You're not wrong about most Tubers in MrBeast's mold, though.

Nah, the US government would probably have asked for this information even if Twitter decided to not comply with Brazil's demands. If anything, complying makes the US government much much more interested in what the gently caress they demanded.

i work at a big company and we probably do a division level if not whole company shake up every 3-5 years. been through several and nothing really changes at the ground level but lots of new acronyms show up. the job of every director is to change stuff for no reason having no clue about what they manage, pat themselves on the back, and hop to another role in a year or two to repeat. that’s just how every large corporation operates.

Pretty much this, if you're over 30 and under 700 you're either a fuckup or you had the misfortune of interacting with the US healthcare system.

To go from 700-ish to over 800, carrying a gigantic balance (i.e. mortgage) gives way more points than just autopaying your entire CC balance down each month (as the credit card companies call these, "deadbeats").

Yeah it's always a bit disconcerting when you're listening to someone who you've been deferring to as a supposed subject matter expert and then they say some word that makes you just prick up your ears, like "wait, did he just say ...?" Because to a layperson it slips right past but if you know the actual field it's an immediate marker that he has no idea what he's talking about and is just bullshitting and blowing smoke in front of the money people.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest poo poo I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
