The myth of AI is rapidly dying, and the grifting leaders of the industry and their moronic backers have only just realised they have drunk their own Kool-Aid. Only now do they understand that AI is too inaccurate to increase overall productivity and too expensive to replace human workers, and that the vast amount of…
In reference to The Verge story I linked to the other day… Captain Free Speech had this to say: “If I were [a killer], the douchebags at Verge would have been dead long ago,” he wrote, adding his favorite crying-laughing emoji. https://futurism.com/future-society/elon-musk-fantasizes-killing-journalists Look, if the story wasn’t true… then yeah, I’d get bent out of shape. But it’s…
I’ve long maintained the current crop of assholes are too far over their skies… gravity is starting to have an impact. Jesse Welles nails it: All the masks are offAnd they’re getting lazy
I’m not the only one thinking that: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetInvestment/s/dmPLGgbMLM
Ooooh this is seriously cool The Helios Horizon’s previous lithium-ion pack delivered 260 Wh/kg (watt-hours per kilogram, a measure of how much energy a battery holds relative to its weight). The new solid-state cells hit 410 Wh/kg, a 60% jump. Chief test pilot and company founder Miguel Iturmendi expects that figure to grow another 40%…
I’ve spent the last week moving over to Linux (Linux + Claude is a whole creative unlock)… looks like it wasn’t a moment too soon: … turns out this includes a keylogger (taplogger?) in the App Store, which records every single tap you make, every single letter you enter, and a lot of other information.…
Meta is dying and I am there for that shit… everything that Zuck tries chokes on money For all its employees’ pain and suffering, Meta has surprisingly little to show. The company continues to trip over its own feet, struggling to release impressive new AI models as its competitors pull ahead further in the ongoing AI race. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/mark-zuckerberg-employees-fun-hackathon-layoffs
I don’t mean to malign the entire U.S. press for its SpaceX IPO coverage. The Verge had the courage to publish a story openly (and correctly) calling Musk a killer. Smaller independent outlets generally did all of the heavy lifting when it comes to, you know, telling people the truth. The whole purpose of journalism. But pretty broadly the U.S. establishment press…
CNN quotes early Tesla investor Ross Gerber saying, “There would not be Tesla and SpaceX if it weren’t for the government.” That is the whole story in one sentence. Let us not get into the MLM scheme the SpaceX IPO resembles as Elon attempts to pay off the suckers who would otherwise have lost big…
There are just 59 Robotaxis on the road, Bloomberg reports, with at least some of them still requiring physical human supervision. Its efforts to expand past its home base in Austin, Texas are floundering, with the company forced to admit to California state regulators that its self-driving cabs don’t actually drive themselves, according to the reporting. https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/teslas-robotaxis-disaster
“It’s literally the gulag,” one employee told Wired. “You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week.” … However, given the well-established reputation of their employer, netizens struggled to conjure up much sympathy for the Applied AI employees. Their argument: the workers knew what…
This is not me… this is The Verge: Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands…
The catalyst for it was the disastrous buyout of Twitter. Elon’s mates are all looking for an out from that and have put the screws on him.
Turns out there are still some adults in the room… S&P Dow Jones Indices will keep its existing eligibility requirements for the S&P 500, rejecting proposals that would have made it faster for mega-cap companies such as SpaceX to gain rapid entry into the benchmark after going public. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-04/s-p-dow-jones-keeps-megacap-ipo-rules-as-is-after-consultation
“Based on the numbers we know, that’s absolute batshit”
A $25 billion Danish pension fund that earlier this year made headlines by ditching Treasuries as Donald Trump was threatening to seize Greenland now says it won’t touch SpaceX. The company, which is targeting a valuation of at least $1.8 trillion in its initial public offering, is not only “grossly overvalued” but also marred by a “catastrophic governance…
I this morning I read this: Living through the Trump II presidency is an exercise in repeated loss and extended mourning for what is gone — while being daily confronted with the farcical and the absurd. Yeah it is, but as is pointed out later… this type of hyper fascism falls in on itself. The…
The $150K Stupidwagon destined for a $15-20K price point
The arrival of a purpose-built ship owned by Chinese car manufacturer BYD that docked in Melbourne on Sunday carrying 5000 vehicles has been described by an analyst as a turning point in the electrification of Australian road transport. The BYD Zhengzhou, one of a fleet of eight car-carrying ships owned and operated by BYD, normally…
