There are numerous spy satellites up there already from many nations, any of them being hacked would be just as bad.

The DoD is going to be involved in how they are secured.

They can access a lot more information about you with a native app, and it also gives them the ability to do push notifications which makes things more sticky

Just for others, they’d all burn up in the atmosphere in a few years.

So it may disrupt things temporarily but not long term.

That’s the problem with media today.

I truly don’t blame you for not knowing. There were huge headlines for the initial story, and then smaller headlines on the retraction. Then even after the retraction people that KNOW it was retracted still spread it because Issacson must be lying.

Its not just Elon, this happens everywhere.

Get the big headlines, and bury the corrections or clarifications.

Granted, in this case I don’t think Issacson was malicious in his original reporting, but it really often is malicious

It’s probably too complicated to do it all at once. By the time they finally figure it out, they already want to do more and the cycle repeats and never ends… although maybe thats the solution. They want to do so many layoffs that they can’t do them all at once (but have to) and end up in a perpetual never ready to do layoffs situation, so no one gets laid off!

Magic!

A natural desire to manage what they created or regain that control if they (willingly) gave it up and regret the decision.

The idea that people have that they can just rip away control of a company from someone because it made them rich is frankly, disgusting.

There’s really only two ways to become a billionaire, and that’s investing, or owning a company, so it’s not really a odd story to come up with.

Sure. But that doesn’t negate a real motive/desire for more thats unrelated to that.

The way companies and ownership work that’s actually quite possible and reasonable.

The count of shares you have represent how much control you have over a company.

If you own a company private or public that does well and you want to retain control of it, you need to own at least over 50% of the voting rights.

Wanting to control your company isn’t that outlandish a desire. There have been plenty of stories of people getting ousted over the years.

Simply owning a company that does well could result in you becoming a billionaire.

And I’m not arguing against what the other poster said, to get to that point there’s gotta be some level of ruthlessness, disregard for others etc.

Just that there is actually a reason to desire more even if you have all your needs met. Being rich shouldn’t mean you have to give up control, and its really hard to change corporate structure once public.

Facebook for example is set up where Zuckerberg has >50% voting rights. Is that bad? Probably. But it’s his company, and I don’t fault him for wanting to keep it that way.

Edit: and yes I’m aware of Zucks fuckery to get / maintain that share and his co-founders

It’s only reasonable if they earned 1.8 billion or less from it.

Otherwise they’ll just do it again.

Still hoping for that sequel. It’s not dead yet!

If Nintendo did that you’d know they’d still charge the same full price for a Nintendo title.

So far I’ve been okay with steams 2 hour return window and only had to return a few games over the years.

I had a big fight with blizzard over Diablo 4 where I messed up the accounts I wanted to install the game on so I could play with my partner at home, and troubleshooting the issue to even figure out how I’d fucked up took an hour or something with a few minutes of in game time figuring it out and they refused to refund it so I could buy it again on the right account.

Took a couple weeks of back and forth but they finally refunded so I could repurchase.

And here I am not knowing the last time I pirated a game. It’s been over a decade probably

Meanwhile, I’m probably going to pirate Xenoblade Chronicals X as it’s only available on the Wii U and fuck buying/renting one to deal with 1 game.

If he takes down the leader, his AI startup and Tesla will be better positioned.

We’ll have anti gravity hover cars being developed by AGI before we ever acknowledge AGI level technology.

I’d never heard the word licentious before. Perfect usage!

There’s gotta be one like this for her lewd behavior in the theater too!

Sell is the keyword there.

Israel bought weapons.

Ukraine CAN buy weapons

Biden cannot gift weapons without congress approval

I’m convinced that apples laptop battery saver feature that’s AI powered and decides when to charge above 80% vs just letting you set it to 80% and manually set it to 100% when needed is to cause the batteries to die sooner, because ITS GOD AWFUL AT DOING ITS JOB PROPERLY.
