    Elon Musk's Neuralink set to begin human experiments

    https://arstechnica.com/science/…

    • The Neuralink comes with a free lifetime blue verified badge from Twitter.utopian
    • I love that i cant tell if thats satire anymorerobotinc
    • no one is forcing you but perhaps utopian should consider it.hotroddy
    • Knobby, did you get your 4Chan verified badge yet?utopian
    • It really blows my mind that anybody would possibly have faith in this moron. Everything he touches turns to shit, he just got a green light on this?garbage
    • BTW, in the animal testing, 15 of 23 of the monkeys used in animal trials died. Some of them had to be put down because..garbage
    • ..they were chewing off their fingers and toes. Literal self-mutilation.garbage
    • ..On second thought, let the Musk fanbois have their chips.garbage
    • he was everybody's leftist hero up until a minute ago.hotroddy
    • Where do you come up with this stuff? Oh yeah, the Blaze. Because Glenn Beck is the only major media source that is stupid enough..garbage
    • ..to promote the idea that he's been the left's darling for ages. Musk has ALWAYS sucked, you're just new to the idea.garbage
    • I work in LA and every tesla owner was a liberal up until a 1 year ago. Now every tesla is an Uber driver. Only anecdotal. Don't know 'the Blaze'hotroddy
    • I'm sure you don't ma'am. Just because he's making headlines and maybe the concept is new to you, trust me..garbage
    • ..he has always been a joke to the left. He's like a poorly written John Galt come to life. Always has been.garbage
    • Also "poorly written" is redundant, but maybe you'll get my point.garbage
    • "leftist hero" lol, god QBN's number 1 moranfadein11
    • fuck me, you guys get butt hurt so quickly..hotroddy
    • Excuse me ma'am, we don't allow projection on this website.garbage
    • I try not to insult you guys when confronted with truths that challenge my political beliefshotroddy
    • even liberal news outlets tend to agree with what should be fairly obvious to everyonehotroddy
    • https://www.cnn.com/…hotroddy
    • Ma'am, seeing as how you're one of the most toxic members of this site, your thin skin does give me a laugh.garbage
    • However, I would be remiss if I did not once again re-inform you that CNN ≠ "the left", not do they represent leftist politics.garbage
    • so Don Lemon is not a left wing nut job. You give me a laugh too at times.hotroddy
    • He is lowering carbon emissions and investing in CO2 scrapers. That used to be a good thing before he became hitler.hotroddy
    • I know you may think I'm toxic but all I'm trying to do is prevent your beloved USA from turning into Seattle. It's all based on good intentions :)hotroddy
    • It's hilarious that people like you think Seattle is some boogeyman leftist city. We're run by compromising neolibs. The last mayor was finally ousted..garbage
    • ..because he was grooming homeless children. The interim mayor was shit as well, and so is the current one.garbage
    • They are all Democrats, and I voted against all of them. Your dipshit Lemon argument is null.garbage
    • A Don Lemon clapback is about as relevant as "you worship Nickelback". You're chanting a trope, and I think. It's that simple.garbage
    • who gives a shit if Lemon is irrelevant or a liberal trope. that wasn't my point.hotroddy
    • So what was your point?garbage
    • That at one point liberals championed Elon and Tesla for attempting to reduce carbon emissions.hotroddy
    • You do know that Tesla is 20 years old, and the silver spoon from SA just glommed onto him, right? There have literally been decades of criticism of this clowngarbage
    • coming from the left. I believe you're conflating libertarians with progressives.garbage
    • It is my understanding that libertarians believe in mininmal state intervention. Progressive is an adjective appended to cities that look like war zones.hotroddy
    • Remind me, which are you?hotroddy
    • Progressives are forcing car manufacturers to go electric by 2035 in California. I'm definitely confused.hotroddy
    • You are definitely confused.garbage

    Use twitter for a project, not a personal account... But for that reason, I check in every few days.

    Getting really fucking sick of twitter spamming me with right wing, trump loving, anti-vax bullshit ragebait in my feed. Fuck. Off.

    Constantly have to block and click the "not interested" button to curb the barrage of snowflakes melting over whatever Karen shit they're all vomiting up for the day. No wonder so many troll bro's have fallen for all the rage bait nonsense - it's relentless.

    “This is ridiculous,” he said, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the meeting. “I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.”

    One of the company’s two remaining principal engineers offered a possible explanation for Musk’s declining reach: just under a year after the Tesla CEO made his surprise offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion, public interest in his antics is waning.

    Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at “peak” popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of “100.” Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.

    Musk did not take the news well.

    “You’re fired, you’re fired,” Musk told the engineer.

    and the engineer in question has come forward...

    Elon Musk’s Appetite for Destruction

    "The many claims of the pending lawsuits come back to a single theme: Tesla consistently inflated consumer expectations and played down the dangers involved."

    https://dnyuz.com/2023/01/17/elo…

    • I'm saying this as a whitehat, but this shit has been known. Theoretically, you can wreck a Tesla on autopilot with a drone-mounted strobe.garbage
    • Which is yet another reason that there should be some rule about the heavier something is, the less automation it should have.garbage
    • But also Teslas are just shit to begin with, and it's too early to fuck around with this tech.garbage
    • There's 3 or 4 on my block that I could pick on a BT relay. If they can't lock themselves, they shouldn't be able to drive themselves.garbage
    • Woah, Tesla sucks donkey balls? No fucking way!crazyprick

    Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science.

    Apparently Twitter is losing 4M per day and has billions in debt. At some point all of those people would be fired. What's with the witch hunt?

    Why are twitter employees sacred all of a sudden?
