sidibe··on I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America
No he's not doing what Bill Gates did he disdains charity and sees it as stupid virtue-signaling empathy. It's really doing Elon a huge service here to make that comparison. This is to get public support for SpaceX.

I have nothing against the idea I just don't think they bothered even doing a real battery swap for the demo
sidibe··on Market selloff, rising rates test AI data centre deal boom
I thinking most people who follow and like Zitron are in it for the AI pessimism, and only some of them care about the financials. He has shifted his focus to the financials, and they are seeing his predictions of failures for these AI and data center companies failures as validation that AI is all hype.

To me the AI stuff is scarily good now, don't see many software jobs holding up for long and other fields will follow, and he might be right about the financials but it doesn't change anything to me the AI is here, getting better and better and is going to take our jobs.

He is arguing financials and companies failing, but his followers see it as AI sucks and is all hype and nothing to worry about.

Idgaf if model building is profitable, the genie is t going back in the bottle and hoping it back in is definitely not the solution

They're not afraid of doing tricks in front of live audience either. Look at the battery swap event. No camera placed anywhere near where the "swap" was happening for a few minutes. Then the car drove off Wow! Amazing! And they never talked about battery swap again

Why is this all so political? Why can't you meanies just maintain my priors that this man is personally engineering the coolest tech and saving humanity despite all evidence he is an idiot and hates people? I am going to find a forum where I'm not subject to this
sidibe··on Tesla Roadster
> just endless anti-tech hate, downstream from idiotic TikTok politics.

The hate and politics obsession of the people you're complaining about on here pales in comparison to the guy doing this presentation. He is doing it 24/7 I'm not even sure he sleeps he is so engaged in it.

sidibe··on Ukraine says new Starlink restrictions disrupt their military
I know this is completely lost on Elon and the likes but the attack was not on "Russian territory" it was on territory most of the world does not recognize as Russia.
sidibe··on Gemini 4 Argon
The goal is to move people along. By then they'll have something as performant but cheaper for them
sidibe··on Elon Musk's PAC is spreading inaccurate voting info, election officials say
I'm old enough to remember when Elon was announcing the America party and insinuating Trump was a pedo.
sidibe··on In "Musk," Alex Gibney Punctures Elon's Self-Mythology
Some people deserve such negativity. I don't see what that has to do with star trek.
sidibe··on Gemini 4 Argon
Doesn't make sense for them to give away weights. They sell their own service using that and killing the competition (that they have a stake in) isn't in their interest either because their cloud growth is based on other companies' continuing heavy investment in this space.
sidibe··on Elon Musk and Tesla Forged a New EV Path
They're good at serving popcorn with a teleoperator.
sidibe··on Ask HN: What default model do you use and why?
Gemini 3.8 + antigravity. Opus also in antigravity for harder stuff.
sidibe··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
This move will help Firefox a lot. This is why they've been my browser on mobile for years, now there's a big incentive to switch on desktop
sidibe··on Agents still can't automate Excel
Yeah I don't know what's holding it back in the browser, doing stuff to sheets is fine from antigravity.
sidibe··on Google Maps Faces Fury for Caving to Trump
They could just not do it. Nothing would happen. It's a little moronic that they act so hands off. I get it having a policy is nice for actual controversies between nations but one person wants this (who has probably never used Google Maps), it would be harmless for them to ignore it but instead they piss off half of one country and all of the other.

Complete lack of judgment from whoever made this change happen

sidibe··on Google: Lake Ontario/Lake America name change in the U.S. will appear in Maps
This is pathetic and embarrassing by Google. They're going to hide behind some corporate policy if criticized, but it's so cowardly, there wouldn't have been any consequences for ignoring it
sidibe··on Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative
Never going to try it, sorry for anyone at cursor who was excited about what they were working on.
sidibe··on GPT 5.6 Sol is the best "vision" model OpenAI ever released
Do you have cases where you still see 3.1 pro outperforming 3.7 flash?
sidibe··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
Thats a unique definition of Big 3
sidibe··on Discovery Loop
Maybe a little naive for this but given the decades Jeff Dean and Sanjay have been contributing to so many things in the industry and never heard a bad word about either, they never seemed to reach for attention or self promote, going to give them a little more of a cachet of trust.
sidibe··on Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When AI Bubble Bursts
Any YouTube video with him is filled with fawning comments. People love it when others tell them what they want to hear. He'll be able to do his schtick for a long time, well after it should be obvious to everyone the AI is going to change things. I'm not enthusiastic about AI and wish we could pump the breaks somehow but at some point you have to recognize there's something there. I don't think it's helpful that the face of AI criticism says a lot of nonsense.
sidibe··on The Reason Elon Musk Keeps Insisting DOGE Cuts Killed "Zero" Kids
I don't love that they have so much money and wish we had much more progressive taxes and no way out of estate taxes, but people really are letting the pure assholes like Elon off the hook when they lump all billionaires together.
sidibe··on Tesla Balance Bike
And this is a great way for Optimus to get around, so you can add another 1b sales right there.
sidibe··on Short positions in SpaceX reach 32% of float
There's a lot more than that of the non-float that people can't wait to sell. This is just front-running the insiders.
sidibe··on Our Approach to Bioresilience: Isomorphic Labs and Google DeepMind
Google has always shed researchers but they still have way more of them than everybody else.
sidibe··on Waymo reports teen riders for bad behavior and delivers them to the police
> A decent response would have been for the car to simply refuse to continue the ride rather than kidnapping the ne'er-do-wells.

It seems that's what exactly what they did? Except also called the police which seems the responsible thing to do when dropping drunk kids off somewhere

sidibe··on Grok 4.5
Profitability is never a constraint for Elon companies. He has always been able to be able to extract money from the middle east, government, banks, retail investors (or these same parties through his other companies) whenever they need more.

His net worth is orders of magnitude bigger than the cumulative profits his companies have ever produced (even if you only count the profitable quarters)

sidibe··on 45°C cooling design cuts data center water use to near zero
This has also one of the arguments against AC in France, shame on you for wanting to moving the hot air from inside to outside.
sidibe··on John Jumper to join Anthropic
Google has been bleeding talent for decades, though few people have ever heard of them before they left google. Like when John Giannendra left it was the first time I'd ever heard of him but it was made out like he was a key person and big blow for Google. Every self driving car company came out of ex Google people as well, same w/OpenAi. The thing is Google research orgs have always been much bigger than any competitors, they'll be shedding people forever but there's a lot more where that came from
