    Earlier this month, Elon Musk, the head of SpaceXAI and the richest man on Earth, posted on X, “Propagating super intelligence to the stars is a great success condition for a biological bootloader

    This guy. He’s so full of shit. Fucking gibberish-ass bullshit.

      Musk wants to make a backup of himself and move to a new star and recreate the world in his image. The real problem with that is no matter what it will never be him. I doubt its possible in his lifetime. This motherfucker will die with a surprised look on his face.

      I was lucky enough to speak to a friend in the environmental space about 10 years ago. I was never a super fan of Musk but I casually muttered something about Teslas being good as electrics.

      They interrupted the conversation and made it clear to the group that Musk was more of a bullshit artist than the public were aware and that we was unclear to do any good for the environment at least not reliably.

      Then I spoke to someone in tech that clued me into the same perspective. I’d never realised how much of a cult of personality had been built around him until then. Seeing him unfold in this way since then has certainly been “interesting”.

      Apart from the particulars of Musk, I think the lesson is to never get involved in a cult of personality.

        To me it was those kids trapped in a cave that he was going to design a submarine to save. And then how he reacted to the actual hero divers who went in there and rescued the children.

        How he handled that entire situation was awoke me to the fact that this “genius of space and EV tech” was actually just full of shit.

          Yup the drugs were in control and he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. There is a hole in his soul that nothing can fill.
