Many people have much more eloquent and knowledgeable commentary on this than I could offer. All I’ll say is go watch The Conversation. It’s one of the best ever made, and he’s a genius in it. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/fe...

@washingtonpost.com crossed into “irreversibly broken” a long time ago, and has been coasting on reputation and inertia since. (As have @nytimes.com and @latimes.com.) It’s long past time we all recognized this and allowed them to fail as businesses.

I honestly don’t think these people understand that videogames are designed to be beaten. Like a team of people worked together to make it satisfying but not frustrating to beat Assassins Creed Syndicate. Overcoming the odds would be if Hideo Kojima sent you a grape and said “end nuclear war”

The wealthy and powerful of every culture have always built ideologies that insist they’re deserving of their wealth and power. It’s a reflex—something almost all human brains will do under the right circumstances.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

This is not just a completely false statement, it’s a credibility-destroying statement. This alone is sufficient to call into question his judgment on anything and everything.

Dead on about the self-satisfied incuriosity, but wrong about the smarts. Musk really is a genuine idiot.

Large data model algorithms are good at pattern identification, matching, and extension. They're really terrible at anything that requires the output to be accurate or reasoned. And they're not AI.

We don’t have a good mental model for the meteorite that ended the Cretaceous. It hit so fast it punched a hole in our atmosphere and surely launched dinosaurs into space. This technically makes some poor T-Rex earth’s first astronaut. Passage from Ends of the World by @peterbrannen.bsky.social.

I think this is misleading. It doesn’t sound like Senate Dems are trying to block anything; they just want to renegotiate some of the details. A potentially important distinction.

1) I see no credible evidence here that Musk isn’t a Nazi “for realz”. 2) Even if there was, I don’t care and don’t see why anyone else should care what’s “in Musk’s heart”. The @juliusgoat.bsky.social quote may be well-worn at this point, but I suspect it’ll have to remain in regular rotation.
