  • The idea that Twitter was the Start of the SpaceX shitstorm…

    I’m not the only one thinking that: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetInvestment/s/dmPLGgbMLM

  • World’s first crewed solid-state flight electrifies aviation’s future

    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%…

  • Apple adds keylogger to iOS App Store for targeted advertising: tied to your account and unencrypted

    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.…

  • The beatings will continue until morale improves…

    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

  • The SpaceX IPO Is A Giant Unworkable Con Orchestrated By An Overt White Supremacist Huckster

    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…

  • Man who hates paying taxes loves government handouts

    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…

  • Tesla’s Robotaxis Are a Complete Disaster

    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

  • Meta AI: “It’s literally the gulag,”

    “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…

  • The world’s first trillionaire is a killer

    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…

  • I have a theory about the SpaceX IPO…

    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.
