Don’t worry, they’ll sell you new software for another $50.00/m/certificate to help with the new certificate fiddling you now have to do monthly. It didn’t make sense for them to release it until they pushed through the 45 day window change through backchannels.

Ya, that’s fair. If I was doing something I didn’t care about time on, it did work. And we weren’t talking hours, it it could be many minutes though.

It does work, but it’s not really fast. I upgraded to 96gb ddr4 from 32gb a year or so ago, and being able to play with the bigger models was fun, but it’s not something I could do anything productive with it was so slow.

I think you misunderstand.

They put substantial effort into grok to make sure it would deny the holocaust.

Actually a mistake, or doing exactly what russia fucking does and testing boundaries and responses, and then going oops! ??

I’m trying to figure out if that was intentional, or they’re just really fucking bad at their job.

Solving world hunger isn’t a money problem, it’s a corruption problem, especially outside of 1st world countries.

For every dollar moved out of the military to “solve world hunger” i bet less than 10 cents would actually make it to food someone can eat, and the total always referenced as this much would solve it.

In which case, it’s not 1%, it’d be more like 10%.

Sounds like one of russias special military operations war is about to happen.

Oh also, I don’t understand why they couldn’t put creating dual class shares to a shareholder vote. They claim it’s not possible, but I feel like there are ways around it. Like how alphabet now owns google. Make something that owns Tesla and have that be dual class shares? You could even create rules in the new corporation like new voting right only shares can only be granted by a supermajority of shareholders voting to create them?

He claims he doesn’t want to develop certain things if he can be easily ousted, and if he can’t have that control, he’ll do it elsewhere.

That’s if we take the control part at his word.

Edit: Also not majority, but 20-25%

The realistic issue is he doesn’t need the money. No one needs that amount of money. And to be honest, it’s not money, it’s unrealized wealth in stocks.

He wants more control of Tesla.

When Tesla was incorporated, they decided not to have dual class shares as it was more frowned upon at the time, so it’s impossible to grant him voting shares, that at the same time aren’t worth anything stock price wise.

Companies like Meta have this dual share structure and it’s how Zuckerberg has majority control (58% voting rights) but does not have the value of majority of shares. If Meta didn’t have dual shares and Zuckerberg still had 58%, he’d be worth $899 billion at todays stock price.

The really stupid thing is that Musk had greater control, and then he sold it off to buy Twitter because suddenly Twitter was this life or death for humanity thing to him (lol). This was AFTER for years saying he’d never sell his shares, he’d be first in last out, except for some charity stuff and living expenses.

So we have undeniable proof he’s willing to say he won’t sell shares, and then at a whim buy something worth tens of billions, so without a doubt in my mind, if he gets this extra trillion, his words are worthless on not spending it. He’ll wake up one day and decide to save rule the world he needs to buy CNN, CNBC, PBS etc etc and control everything.

You could also see when he sold stock to buy twitter, that even though on paper he was worth $XYZ the moment he started selling billions of stock, the price plummeted, because the stock price doesn’t actually represent real money, it’s all unrealized until someone tries to use it.

The car has privacy settings, that is not true unless you enable it. It will still send a lot of data, but not everything.

if you bought IBM gear and it broke, it was simply considered the cost of doing business,

IBM produced Canadian Phoenix Pay system has entered the chat with a record 0 firings.

People also tend to forget all the compliance issues that can come around hosting content, and using someone with expertise in that can reduce a very large burden. It’s not something that would hit every industry, but it does hit many.

Sounds like that would draw even more tourists to come and see all of them and have that debate, better start building even more golden pagoda’s to account for the extra extra tourists.

You know the saying, 600 years ago was the best time to build more golden pagodas if you wanted them today, but the next best time is today if you want 600 year old golden pagodas in 600 years.

Yubikeys. I think everyone should get a couple (need 2 in case 1 lost)

I thought the point was to get them killed as fodder before they could return home.

They maybe get a few Ukrainian kills in, and no longer have to pay to incarcerate a person.

They can’t even get that right?

FAFO

I think the normalize is a big part. When I go to music festivals there are quite a lot of topless women and no one cares. It kinda feels novel the first time or two, and then it’s like, okay, this is normal.

Normalizing it in the general public would be a lot harder though.
