Musk has tantrum. Just another day ending in y.
But every day ends wi… oh. OH.
No no musk, you’re supposed to only piss off the poors remember?
I’m sure the richest company in the world is super worried about this threat.
Ah, they guy who tried to get Paypal to switch to running on Windows strikes again.
paypal deserves to run on windows
Both paths lead to the same destination inundated with AI ads and tracking.
I hate paypal because they’re transphobic.
See, I made a paypal account long after changing my legal name, and I made the account under my current legal name. They asked for a birth certificate to prove my identity, so I gave them one. I have an amended birth certificate from when I changed my name that lists both my deadname and my current legal name. When Paypal saw my birth certificate, they changed the name on my account to my deadname, even though the paperwork clearly stated it wasn’t my legal name. When I complained to them, they told me I had to submit change of name paperwork to change the name on my account. Well I never changed my name while I had a paypal account! They did! I just wanted it un-changed to what it was before. If I need to submit change of name paperwork to fix their mistake, why didn’t they need paperwork to change it away from my legal name in the first place?
Me: Hates musk.
Also me: dislikes Apple.
Still me: See’s this story as Musk doing another stupid thing to kill more business on both ends.
Finally me: Yessss…this news pleases me.
Because Google doesn’t have its own AI, and other Android manufacturers aren’t also embedding OpenAI wherever they can in modern phones like Samsung.
Ok
This’ll end up just like the Microsoft/Netscape Navigator antitrust suit where Microsoft got broken up and sued out of existence for trying to suffocate Netscape Navigator by denying it access to the Windows Operating System. Netscape, originally the underdog, super-won and turned into Mozilla which is now a multi-trillion dollar company that provides a shining beacon of consumer rights done right.
Oh wait, I just remembered: Netscape died and barely anything changed—only the public ever really loses. Billionaires paying thousands of dollars in fines to fight for their turn to shit on their customers.
I know it’s a common meme but it still annoys me. Netscape’s own JWZ wrote about how Netscape destroyed itself. I have personal experience with Netscape being full of itself, buggy, and forcing myself and all other small isp owners (which were over 50% of the market at the time) to ship Internet Explorer CDs to customers despite our really wanting to ship Netscape.
Yes, Netscape really shot themselves in the foot with their premium browser and then shit in the wound with Communicator. All that Microsoft contributed was forcing people not to work with the septic poo-footed browser, but getting caught up in that kind of detail would have made people stop reading my comment. Gotta farm every sweet little upvote I can get so that my family will finally be proud of me when they print my karma in my obituary.
You had me in the first half
Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.
No, no. Dig up, stupid!
sighs
He’s still so fucking wealthy tho
Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I’m sure that weighs quite a bit
0.63 Empire State Buildings. So yeah, quite a bit.
Americans will use anything but metric as a unit of measurement.
I’m European
Then you should know better.
I always hate seeing that, then i remember i’ve used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything
Living in Michigan I show distance by pointing to spots on my hand.
Yo, same. The mitten makes it easy.
Time is a perfectly valid unit of distance. Just look at light years. On Earth, I mostly use the unit of distance me-minutes
Interestingly, analysing distance in me-minutes reveals that spacetime is not flat, because a distant location on the train line can be much closer to me than something 5 km away but far away from public transit.
A small boulder the size of a large boulder
TLDR please. What is this cunt’s problem with OpenAI?
I think we just don’t want other tech companies getting the limelight.
https://openai.com/index/openai-elon-musk/
This does a pretty good job of giving the necessary background to understand why Elon is being a pissy bitch about all things OpenAI.
“Tim didn’t even ask me about Grok”
Elon contemplating an xPhone powered by crypto and NFTs.
With memes and fart sounds.
It’ll get fun if he decides to cut Apple devices off Starlink.
Honestly, this is a good take, SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Sorry about that.
Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon’s employees have to go back to flip phones
Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.
Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.
Ugh, enough about the cybertruck!
Cuts like a knife, don’t it?
And also are sharp enough to cut your hand if you hold it in the wrong way.
The final hilarity would be Elon forcing Twitter to re-enable SMS based tweets, then hackers using it to fake tweets from Elon himself.
Do people just use the Starlink router without their own firewall behind it?
Never in my life have I ever used the AP/switch function of the supplied router. That fucking thing can live outside my network, I don’t trust an ISP to wipe their ass after shitting, let alone keep a router updated.
Apparently they’re just plug and play wifi, you have to pay for an adapter to connect Ethernet to it.
Yah, i had to get the Ethernet dongle before I’d use it.
When I heard about that I thought it was pretty condescending.
Like give me an Ethernet port so I can plug my shit into it without giving you more money for something that really should be included.
That’s like not putting door handles on a car.
I was pretty surprised and pissed off when it showed up and I couldn’t find a way to plug in a cable.
On the other hand, it’s the best internet I’ve had out in the ass end of nowhere.
I hear the speed is very dependent on how many people are using it nearby.
yay for net neutrality laws
Pigeon CEO. Flies in, shits on everything, then flies out.
Or like the one at my house, takes up a roost in a hanging flowerpot and refuses to leave even when you take the flowerpot down to do planting.
(Yes, this is happening right now, no we did not disturb mama bird’s nest, no need to send in the feds.)
Okay transphobe
