He will fire himself but after a long discussion with himself, come crawling back to himself and beg for his job back

Yes, I wonder if he will go on a killing spree. Yes, I track his flights. Yes, I have spoken to some of his overnight friends. Yes, he was out of control at Burning Man. Yes, you should ask @AZEALIABANKSNYC for a quote. Buy some soap first though.— Enty (@entylawyer) September 10, 2018

The first 100+ comments on the YouTube video itself are basically this. He's not a total idiot, but fuck he's got so many red flags and a clear propensity for childish distractions. What he said about AI and robotics was nothing new.

I don't understand how people accept that the technology necessary to simulate their human experience many times over is a given or that it would only not happen if the world abruptly ended in the near future.

step 1 of his simulation theory fun -- imagine any rate of improvement in computing power, gaming, etc., already seems so naive. why would you assume this shit won't roll off? but maybe I'm missing something.

and he describes the neuralink stuff as solving a bandwidth issue at the link between your mind's queries and the internet. but it seems like the speed at which my dumb brain can generate these queries will remain as a serious bottleneck? neuralink will disrupt mavis beacon typing instruction software!

I don't know. there could be warrantied maintenance implications tied to the amount you're allowed to discharge the battery.
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 13 September 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link
xp fitting tbh. he said in the Rogan interview that they've just installed an Atari emulator in the latest Tesla. god this guy is so LAME
― flappy bird, Thursday, 13 September 2018 18:45 (six years ago) link
xp that's a good point, they could just be suspending the warranty for charge/discharge greater than the maximum in the specs
― sleeve, Thursday, 13 September 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link
"warranty penalty", sorry
another thing: 'throttling' was really only an issue in that it would favor large internet businesses over the smaller guys with less money. There's always been throttling of internet speeds for the customer based on what that customer would pay.

and I also don't see a problem with charging someone to unlock content that's already on the disc. The game company had to invest some resources to make the non-essential content, and they need to figure out a way to make money on that investment. Otherwise there'd just be less content. You can argue that greed makes them lock more content than they should, but the very idea of not having access to all of the content on a blu-ray you purchased isn't so outrageous. Obviously, it'd be outrageous if you had to buy the additional content to make your original base purchase worthwhile at all. But usually the consumer outrage is based on just wanting everything.

yes but "free supercharging" -- does this also mean they throttle the speed of electricity transfer? what is this insane world
― vote no on ilxit (Will M.), Thursday, 13 September 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
supercharging is just what happens when you charge at one of those tesla-specific charging stations instead of via a normal outlet. It is faster, but it's faster because the charging hardware is different.
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 13 September 2018 20:11 (six years ago) link
so I think they're just saying you get free electricity at their charging stations, which are always faster charging than an outlet
