In my view, these were less about liberal causes and more about general humanitarian efforts, such as vaccinations, education and fighting world hunger—things that were generally considered good regardless of political affiliation, before the GOP was completely taken over by a madman.

doeneron SpaceX S-1

"XAI, the artificial intelligence company Elon Musk created and recently merged into SpaceX, is not helping on that front. The filing shows SpaceX directed around 60% of its capital spending in 2025 to its AI division, or around $20 billion. And yet that division — which houses the chatbot Grok — lost billions last year, and only grew revenue by about 22%. That’s far below the reported revenue growth rates at frontier AI labs."

I see no need for this IPv8. IPv6 was carefully engineered over many years and while not perfect, works and is deployed. What problem are you trying to solve? I seem to have missed that."

doeneron Kant: Was Ist Aufklärung?

Kant on AI:

Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so many people, even after nature has long since declared them of age (naturaliter maiorennes), nevertheless choose to remain immature throughout their lives; and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so convenient to be immature. If I have a book that thinks for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a doctor who judges my diet for me, and so on, then I need not exert myself. I have no need to think, as long as I can pay; others will take care of that tedious business for me.
