Just checked and I still have it on my phone.
I never got the hang of the orbital levels.

What reckless unnecessary expediency driven by foolhardy leadership leads to. No use reminding some people of the Challenger disaster.

The point of the whole âis the universe a simulationâ thing is that Musk is special and the lessons of the past are just for the NPCs. The first is unfortunately true, he has an unprecedented amount of wealth that distorts everything around it, but physics still doesnât care.

Neither does physiology and psychology: The effects of long-term zero-G on the human body; still no closed loop life support system for the vehicle; thereâs still no design for suitable protection from radiation; then thereâs the psychological stress of a long-term mission.

Is the conjecture that the world is a simulation even falsifiable?

if Altman, Theil, Musk, et. al. get their AI nightmare, we will be living in a similated, augmented reality where truth is what the algorithm says it is.
the first generations of we, the NPCs, will know it is inherently unreal, but future generations will see it as âthe way it isâ.
scary shit, man.

they wonât stop until their algorithm is the ultimate truth, truth be damned.
or unless they are stopped before the monster (AI) is unleashed.

No, but you can still recycle all the old arguments creationists use that the world looks designed, just pretending theyâre new and scientific because you say âprogrammerâ instead of âGodâ.

Those of on the outside will just have to dose everyone in the matrix with acid to screw with the system. 
Warning! Danger, Will Robinson!

Since we can fiddle with the simulation (ex: genomics and GMOs) , then The Big Cheese Programmer is for shit.
That⌠or it just doesnât exist.

It is FUCKED UP that the dipshits responsible for our ability to explore anything off of this planet are so despicable and so bad at their jobs that one of their projects exploding into a three story ball of flame brings everyone a moment of unadulterated joy.
We shouldnât be reacting to a space vessel exploding in the testing phases with joy! We never would have before all this.
But the fuckers are now so far beyond recourse or justice that we take pleasure in every mishap to befall them, especially when those mishaps are their own damn fault.

That thing losing a billion a month with no revenue stream? That thing is the reason that everyoneâs previously worthless Twitter stock is now worth more than when they bought it!
These are great times to be a bullshitting salesbro.

This article explains just how totally unregulated Texas is when it comes to autonomous vehicles:
Mostly not very surprising but one new bit of information to me is that their legislature actually updated their laws to be slightly more stringent, requiring their DMV to approve these vehicles. But that doesnât kick in until September, which might help explain Teslaâs rush to get these running now, despite not nearly being ready:

One of the comments on that article:
âthe future is finally arriving and itâs a stranger in the passenger seat of a car that someone else drives remotely that can take you where you need to go as long as it is in a small geofenced area and at the right time and it isnât rainingâ
Plus it explicitly excludes airports. But who ever wants to take a taxi to or from an airport? Probably nobody.
