Yes, it will definitely not be the 1% that eliminate poverty, but when a majority decides to do so.

So how’s it going with that political party of yours Musk?
Or was it just vaporware just like FSD, hyperloop, solar tiles, Optimus and Starshit manned mission to Mars 2024.
The man is a manic maniac. 🤣🤣🤣

Optimus will finally make it possible for us (the 1%) to eliminate poverty for 2 reasons: First because we don’t need the poor anymore for manual labor, and second because with Optimus we can automate their extermination.

It was not just “not Trump”, it was “not insane”, and not threatening to tear down democracy and destroy healthcare and the economy. It was business as usual over sociopathy.
The choice should have been clear. But too many Americans are sociopaths, and chose to really stick it to the minorities until they die. Americans voted for Trump not despite he is a sociopath, but because of it. Americans want revenge for their lousy lives more than they want to improve things for everybody.
The Dems won other places than New York.

Although in-car computing is not the highest end of chips, because these are not for learning, but for execution of what was learned by way higher end server systems.
Still this shows that there is market share to be lost for American companies in the mass market of AI clients. And the logical step is to evolve these chips to server grade 5 to 10 years into the future.
The irony is that the Chinese industry actually wanted to use leading American chips, but USA has prevented that, forcing China to develop as much and as fast as they can to replace American chips. It was always the Chinese government that tried to encourage local Chinese development and use of AI chips, while most of the industry was reluctant.
But recent developments have made it clear to the Chinese industry that they have to have a homegrown option, because they can’t trust USA to deliver, despite China pays full price, and it helps American companies to stay ahead to supply to China too, as it helps pay for the necessary R&D.

I think the point is to make money.

The won’t is irrelevant because they can’t, the American anti terror law, gives major rights to any American security agency and even ordinary police to demand data. The only hurdle is a court order. And the agencies have their own anti terror courts that ONLY work with the agencies and only get their info from same agencies, because they are supposed to work in secret it can’t be taken outside.
Faced with such a court order, the company is forced to keep it secret too, and they cannot defend themselves, except to the secret court that works closely with the agencies!

And it’s the same for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and any other American company. Microsoft has just admitted it, which isn’t even necessary since this info was revealed by Edward Snowden just over a decade ago.

And Obama claimed USA had found a fair balance, the fair balance being that the government services can do just about whatever the fuck they want.

Microsoft even admitting this is probably bordering on being illegal, as this is supposed to be a secret, although anyone interested can look it up.

No one starved due to lock-downs.

Not true, the pandemic caused major inflation, doing the same for a prolonged period of time would be devastating.
But there are ways we can cut CO2 without increasing inflation. Like make the use of private jets illegal.
USA could cut their CO2 in half by following the model Denmark has developed since the 70’s.
Denmark has higher industrial and agricultural production than USA, and has more data centers per capita than USA, yet we only release half the CO2 per capita. And that’s without using nuclear!

And demand telemetry removed from all US services and products.
As it is now it’s illegal to collect on children, but it should simply be completely illegal.

No they can’t, they never could, and it’s way way overdue for EU to finally wake up to the reality that all US owned cloud services are factually illegal for any European (EU) authority to use, from kindergartens to courts and everything in between.
It is also illegal for any private company operating in EU to hold any user/customer/personnel data on servers owned by American companies.

I’ve been saying this for more than 8 years now! Because this became apparent already under Obama, that the US government can demand, any data in any country held by any American company, to be handed over. Furthermore they can do this in secret under anti terror laws. And the companies affected are not allowed to mention anything to anybody, under regulation of steep penalties.

This was what Obama claimed was a balanced approach!
And the Republicans are worse!
And now it is very apparent that the checks and balances don’t even work. The current American administration will do whatever they want, and worry about legality later. And threaten any opposition with secrecy under national security and anti terror laws.
Keep way way away from any American form of server/digital service and especially cloud services.
And also keep away from American telemetry. Which all ought to be illegal in EU.

Best of luck, I’m all for open source, but I fail to see how you can “open source” transportation?
Also you completely lost me at submarines spaceships and exosuits.

Seems like you are in denial, maybe because you are yourself religious, or have loved ones you refuse to acknowledge that their religiosity is crazy.

Activities that are harmful to yourself and your surroundings are a form of not functioning.
Being poor and voting Trump is a form of self harm.
Disowning family and friends for being LGBT is a form of not functioning.
Believing prosperity gospel and donating to a church is a form of self harm, and failure to address problems properly.
Believing death is not that important because there’s a way better afterlife is outright insane, and a huge potential cause for self harm.
Except seeing how religious people who claim to believe that, are whining when they are about to die, proves they don’t really believe it.
It is very obvious that a belief system based on delusions is harmful when followed. The “Thoughts and prayers” idea is an obvious example, it allows people to do nothing about a problem with a good conscience.
And as we can see in American society, the delusional mindset is absolutely extremely harmful to American society.

The cog wheel may be turning, but it is broken so it does damage to itself and the cogwheels it is connected to with every turn it takes.

The only reason strongly religious people may appear to be functioning, is that for some reason that form of insanity is accepted by the majority, and because of that, so are the harmful effects of it.

Nope, she is literally insane. And religion is based on delusions, so that’s insanity too.

If you are delusional to a degree that it is preventing you to function in your daily life, that is absolutely mental disease. Per definition.

You are absolutely right, USA is extremely authoritarian in many ways, towards children including their own, in all sorts of institutions. It is very much based on the might makes right mentality. The economic thinking is of course different with free market. But the authoritarian mindset is much like Stalinism.

That’s very hard to make a short response to. I like it here, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
I find myself privileged to live here, although other places can have advantages in better climate, cheaper high quality food, and warmer personalities.
But here people are more “real” than most places, we don’t do fake praising or other fake behavior as much as most cultures. I like that, but for foreigners it can be difficult.

I disagree, most people that are religious, are brought up with religion. Their ability for rational thought is compromised from childhood.

It’s the opposite here (Denmark), we have clean drinking water in the entire country, but I’ve been hearing about efforts to reduce water consumption and preserving the natural resources for instance regulating agriculture as far back as I can remember, which is back to the 70’s.
Our governments have been on top of this all the way through (mostly the left), and water is very cheap, so we have a tax on water to prevent people from using it mindlessly.
