holding out tesla as the example of advanced AI shows how full of shit he is

Palmer Luckey says the U.S. military has relied on overpriced, outdated technology for too long. He argues that a Tesla has better AI than any U.S. aircraft and a Roomba vacuum has better autonomy than most of the Pentagon's weapons systems. He is out to change that. https://cbsn.ws/4jY5qIx

it's crazy for a guy to talk like that while wearing that shirt and having that haircut

rpicado.bsky.social•4 days ago

A dude with a mullet and soul patch in that shirt? Named “Luckey?” Is this the Onion? Fuck off with that!

And his company is named after a sword from Lord of the Rings. 🤦

Just like Peter Thiel's Palantir is named after an orb from LotR. These guys are the worst.

Yup. The companies are all surveillance and military themed too.There's a surveillance company that makes surveillance and defense systems for rich people named "Sauron". We read LotR enjoying the great story and understanding the themes and warnings. They read it and went "I want to be Saruman!"

omg I had no idea these naming conventions were so prevalent. These are nuts.

Yeah, it's quite the mind-fuck. SV has a whole cultist approach to what they do and it's not pretty or particular original, but they sure like to pretend it is.

He has several named after LotR properties. And Sam Altman have some damn creepy ones too (although without the LotR naming). Try reading up on World (coin) and how many places they've been banned.

The first time I read about this it was a big nope from me. Surveillance capitalism is accelerating at warp speed these days.

Would I trust the judgment of someone with so little judgment about his hair(facial & otherwise)?

No. The answer is a resounding "No!"

if you can't trust this young Danny McBride character from a Judd Apatow movie, who can you trust?

Yah he looks like a man accustomed to making smart choices.

Mmmhhhmmm. So smart!

funny how he also drives a vehicle from the 80s. Seems like lot these tech bros don't engage with the products they make.... I wonder why.

Military requirements include being able to store for years at a time, then rapidly deploy using not very delicate handling to challenging environments and use with a high degree of success. You can't own a Tesla 6 months without several updates and repairs. WTF.
