Water is patient. Water just waits. Wears down the cliff tops, the mountains. The whole of the world. Water always wins.

Meh, junk…junk…jun—EXCALIBURRRR!

I only mentioned him in the hope that we could jettison his ass once and for all.

But you’re indeed right. Peace out.

Send Elon.

The only part I disagree with you on is calling an AI girlfriend an “abandoned friend”. Extending the idea of friendship to a program that is mimicking human responses (let’s ignore it’s likely spyware for now) is at best a proxy for friendship, as there can not be a connective bond between 2 individuals when one is incapable of genuine emotional attachment.

I’m using the word “friend “in a distinct way: this is not some Facebook friend who you never see, occasionally may chat with, and ultimately ignore. I think it best, AI fulfills that role. I can’t imagine anyone choosing a masturbatory AI app instead of a real partner.

That’s not the future. That’s really unhealthy.

The word you’re looking for is “addiction”.

Absolute marriage material - smart and fun!

Go home, Elon. Your ketamine is wearing off.

(Hyuk, hyuk…”flat earth”. Some people will throw whatever they think works when they’re emotional…)

Let’s be REALLY clear here:

Let’s be clear what we are discussing here

presenting yourself like you actually have any clue at all about space - which Melon Husk clearly has not

Define “clue”.

Is it an awareness of space? I think we all have that, Musk included. I’ve had college-level physics classes as well, but I’d never suggest I’m a scientist.

Is it a facility to manage the creation of a space program, do the technical analysis and direct its operations towards success? Of course he can’t do all that - he writes checks to those that can. He points, and like the poodle he is, expects others to do the dirty work so he can take the credit. SpaceX isolates him from those decisions.

Serious bub - waving the Elon flag in this day and age; it’s not a good look. Sycophants are a dime a dozen these days, and you don’t want to join that club.

Works both ways - go find me videos of him making operational (not managerial) decisions inside SpaceX. As founder he can point the way, but he’s not doing any science himself.

When you show us him plotting trajectories or doing mass calcuations, then we’re finally talking about the same thing. Right now, he writes checks and points; a rich Schnauzer could do the same.

A BA in physics does not a rocket scientist make.

Wharton is great for a business degree - but otherwise its focus is in “‘Executive Education’ - which involved custom learning experiences that lead to academic enrichment, however with no standing.“ (emphasis mine)

If you look at a list of its allumni, you’ll quickly see it’s a rich persons club. Mostly CEOs, not discoverers or scientists.

The problem is, all companies are this evil.

False equivalency fallacy on display. Not “all” are, unless you’re trying to cut TJs some slack. Just shop at a local grocery.

Also - “evil”? Poorly run, dishonest perhaps, greedy almost certainly. You want “evil”? Invade another country and kill people. Tell a teenage rape victim they can’t abort it and must carry to term. Make sure women can’t divorce an abusive husband if they’re pregnant. Real Evil is all over.

There’s plenty of real evil out there that needs shame - don’t use that word lightly.

Stalinist. Makes sense - twist away. Blocked.

It was a cease fire proposal - you have to start somewhere. But Russia and China think it’s better to use Gazans a political pawns in the upcoming US elections, so surprise, surprise - some would disagree.

China and Russia just blocked a truce in Gaza. Makes sense.

How to say you don’t understand without saying you don’t understand

Severance is excellent and exceptional. It’s also AppleTV+, where it’s more likely than not you’ll see actors that resemble people in real life (and when it’s not, it’s Ghosted and shit). And they generally don’t do remakes.

If anything, they’re the exception and not the rule.

Absolutely not. This is how we got to “my James Bond is better than your James Bond”-style of thinking.

Every new gen wants their own thing. Every new gen thinks the last gen was lame. Business takes old gen shit and add new gen actor/actress/good looking person, adds old gen shit and then resells the new gen its own version. This is why every show is full of pretty people and nothing new.

Updoots for cat in the curtains…
