They're lies when he makes these "bad predictions" knowing they won't come true. He has constantly committed fraud in order to get the stock price of his companies up.
bigtex88··on Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac: The future of supercars is combustion engines
That doesn't change the fact that they are worse at what they do than an equivalent electric motor. There's zero reason we need ICE. We have better technology, we just don't have the will (at least in America) to fully adopt it.

Omg great question you're so smart!
bigtex88··on Man Charged with 3 Felonies for Breaking 3D-Printed 'Decoy' Flock Camera
Mmmm I love fascist surveillance states!
bigtex88··on Starbase, LA
Isn't this an absolutely horrible idea to build this here? What happens when the next Category 5 hurricane hits this area? It's an absolute certainty that they will get another Category 5 at some point.

Who cares?
bigtex88··on Fed's Kashkari says 'now is the time to start slowly moving' rates up
It doesn't matter if the rate is "historically low". The average monthly cost of housing is at the most unaffordable it's ever been.

Tesla fanboys aren't known for logic or rigorous thinking.

What does this have to do with anything at all?
bigtex88··on SpaceX bond worth 10% less than issue price – heading for junk bond status
And yet people continually muse about why "capitalism" is starting to fall out of favor in America. This right here is exactly why.
bigtex88··on Cisco workforce reductions
This is how we got Luigi and it's why no one was really too upset with what he "allegedly" did.
bigtex88··on Grand Theft Oil Futures: Insider traders keep making a killing at our expense
Stfu with this idiotic nonsense, thanks.
bigtex88··on Grand Theft Oil Futures: Insider traders keep making a killing at our expense
Anyone with half a brain knows Trump is an actual idiotic person. So yes, we could foresee him doing this, because it was a dumb fucking plan and Trump is the dumbest person who has ever been president.
bigtex88··on Let's talk about LLMs
Siri is not the same as an LLM in this context but thank you.
bigtex88··on If America's so rich, how'd it get so sad?
"Petrostate" meaning that the proceeds of the petroleum we sell is turned around and used for the betterment of the entire state. I think it's clear what OP was saying and you're being purposefully obtuse about this.

It means nothing for the US to be the biggest oil producer in the world when the proceeds and riches of "producing" that oil are hoarded by a small number of oil barons.

bigtex88··on If America's so rich, how'd it get so sad?
Then why are Euros happier overall?
bigtex88··on If America's so rich, how'd it get so sad?
Correct. We are meant to be wage slaves. That is why there is such a malaise these days. Everyone has sort of realized that we are meant to wage slave until we are dead, and our "productive" years are spent providing retirement income to the older generations.

Idk if people thought differently about this in the past, or just didn't care, or just weren't able to see the myriad ways that people get to live (social media) when they are not wage slaves. But something is wrong.

bigtex88··on If America's so rich, how'd it get so sad?
You can go fuck yourself with your bullshit here.

What?

Who is siding with Iran?
bigtex88··on AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion
What? How is the other factor clearly not the real problem?
bigtex88··on ATMs didn’t kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did
So even in your example you still need to have someone to ask the AI to play chess. So there will still be a need for someone somewhere to ask the AI to do something and supervise it or guide it in the right direction.
bigtex88··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
Corporations are people my friend.

They won't outright cancel the elections but they will do things like send ICE to contested districts to harass law-abiding voters; pressure states to remove people from voter rolls and make it difficult if not impossible for them to re-register in time to be able to vote; and otherwise just scream fraud and cheating and stolen when they lose the House.
bigtex88··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
You're not a nutter. Trump constantly projects what he's going to do and no one takes him seriously because what he says is so beyond the pale. I explicitly remember the exact instance you're talking about because I thought the same thing as you are thinking.
bigtex88··on Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
No it's 100% these idiots pushing their fascist propaganda just like they tried to "rename" the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Most members of the military never even see actual fighting.
bigtex88··on What are the best coping mechanisms for AI Fatalism?
How do you expect this plays out when 99% of people have no money and no hope? Do you think they'll just sit back and take it?
bigtex88··on Layoffs at Block
He 100% used AI to write it.
bigtex88··on Layoffs at Block
He didn't even write it. There's one phrase where there is a curly apostrophe vs a straight apostrophe. He likely only wrote one single phrase in the entire thing and used AI for the rest of it.
bigtex88··on Claude's new constitution
The amount of people that are SO CONFIDENT, like yourself, that this is PR BS is insane to me. What's the harm in acting this way towards the models? If they aren't sentient, then no harm no foul.
