Rzor commented on The tech titans who show up in the Epstein files   mashable.com/article/tech... · Posted by u/saubeidl

Epstein was selling kompromat to Russia and others. But Russia would be bad enough. You don't have to be doing the gross stuff going on at his place to be a national security problem. He was selling influence ranging from minor personal indebtedness to the worst blackmail material. You don't have to be at the really icky end of that spectrum to have participated in degrading national security.

As a European, I find it very funny to see how nobody in the US is willing to address the elephant in the room called Mossad. This looks more likely an israeli operation which sourced girls from russia and likely had the FSB as a customer/scratch my back I scratch yours/collab thing. I mean, most US politicians and the president seem to be on an "israel first" agenda.

This is driving me up the wall. Look, I know part of this talk/accusation [about Mossad] is coming from Nazi/antisemitic circles, so people being hesitant to engage makes a bit of sense. But come on, it's not a stretch to consider. The idea that the US would let a Russian operation go unchecked like that is completely bonkers.

I’m sure Musk is going to say this is about free speech in an attempt to gin up his supporters. It isn’t. It’s about generating and distributing non consensual sexual imagery, including of minors. And, when notified, doing nothing about it.

If anything it should be an embarrassment that France are the only ones doing this.

>I’m sure Musk is going to say this is about free speech in an attempt to gin up his supporters.

Way ahead of you, they already said that when the same French authority launched an investigation due to "[...] offences related to the platform, including the spreading of child abuse images and sexually explicit deepfakes, the denial of crimes against humanity and manipulation of an automated data processing system as part of an organised group.". This is just more fuel to the fire.

As for your last statement, Brazil also did something, two weeks ago: https://archive.is/jF2ZW [Brazil gives Musk's xAI 30 days to tackle fake sexualized content from Grok, Reuters]

Anyone remember the quote by Russ Hanneman on SV [0] - "No Revenue, means you're potential pure play"

We know datacenters in space - sound plausible enough - yet not practical - hence they're potential pure play - also you can have massive solar in space - unlimited space -- etc -- all true -- but how economical / practical is it ?

yet we know on earth - to power the whole earth with solar - only a fraction of the land is needed. Hell it's even in the Tesla Master Plan v3 docs [1] - current limitation being storage & distribution

so all you - are now witnessing to the greatest scam ever pulled on earth.

The entire thing is a play. Musk should be a science fiction writer. He has that uncanny ability to create a statement that compresses 100+ years of industrial evolution into a few sentences.

>Factories on the Moon can take advantage of lunar resources to manufacture satellites and deploy them further into space.

I love how he goes from "the raw material is there" to "we will build high-tech supply chain to process them", just like that, magically.

We’re at a point where propaganda is so much more powerful than reality that the people in power literally can’t tell the difference. When your source of ethics is the stock price, little details like physical impossibility stop seeming relevant.

You put it so succinctly and perfectly that I'll have to favorite your comment. Totally agree. The physical world has become little more than noise for people like Musk. I wonder whether the correction will be a slow market dip, a full collapse, or somehow whether he makes it out like a bandit. Baudrillard is, once again, uncomfortably accurate in his diagnosis.

Elon is a pathological liar and it’s crazy that he still gets sanewashed after all he’s done. It’s insanity that he hasn’t been kicked out of leading his companies, and it’s also insanity that he hasn’t been prosecuted by the SEC.

You’ve spent too much life force trying to even understand the liar’s fake logic.

Let’s start right here: there is no such thing as becoming power/grid constrained on earth. If you replaced just the cornfields that the United States uses just to grow corn for ethanol in gasoline just in the corn belt, you could power the entire country with solar+batteries+wind. Easily, and cheaply.

If you don’t even believe that solar+batteries are cheap (they are), fine, choose your choice of power plant. Nuclear works fine.

The truth is, xAI combining with SpaceX is almost certainly corrupt financial engineering. SpaceX as a government contractor and that means Elon’s pal Trump can now siphon money into xAI via the federal government.

I wonder how much faith Musk has that the US will never again have a president and/or Congress willing to torpedo such an incestuous deal.

>In an interview with Robert Wright in 2003, Dyson referred to his paper on the search for Dyson spheres as "a little joke" and commented that "you get to be famous only for the things you don't think are serious" [...]

To be fair, he later added this:

>in a later interview with students from The University of Edinburgh in 2018, he referred to the premise of the Dyson sphere as being "correct and uncontroversial".[13] In other interviews, while lamenting the naming of the object, Dyson commented that "the idea was a good one", and referred to his contribution to a paper on disassembling planets as a means of constructing one.

It's Big Tech's own Hotel California. The only exit is to finish their so called AI God or socialize their losses to the taxpayers eventually. Take a wild guess where my money is.
