But maybe this one correct take negates the 517 instances where he made it look like he was a grade-A asshole last week alone.

beebarfbadger ,

Won't SOMEBODY think of the poor, poor monopolists who so far made their money exploiting the alternativeless victims at their mercy? Why would their prey give them way too much money now, eh? Socialism! Terrorism! All the bad words, what's in right now? Woke? DEI?

beebarfbadger ,

Google: "You wanted words? Here are some words!"

When I toot, it's neither with my mouth nor my nose.

Have you considered upgrading to the Ultra Premium Deluxe Version? For just 99.99- a month, you can actually use what you bought!

It's fiiiiine, I wouldn't want a stupid brain chip that's NOT on fire anyway. Looks much cooler and I bet that's just how Daddy Elon planned it to be.

Sure, the possibilities are endless, so the first thing we'll get that has any research money and effort put into it is how to turn it into an advertising platform and then maximally enshittifying it as soon as there's a market share to speak of.

beebarfbadger ,

Oh, they'd never do anything as sinister as that. That may still be illegal (if the ultra-rich lobbying hasn't taken care of that obstacle by that point).

Instead, they'll just make sure that whatever essential core service they've built a monopoly in by just muscling the poorer competitors out of the race will cease to be offered to you if you refuse to hand all your money over to them.

See also: insulin, hospital treatment, etc. This is just a new playing field to find old prey in.

"Download our app and consume ads on it because... becaaaaauuuuuusssseeeeee, um, let's say SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Maybe terrorism? Just pick a reason you'd believe and get the app, okay?"

beebarfbadger ,

Rest assured, the ones cultivating the wage slaves do have their regular orgies.

beebarfbadger ,

Uhhrk.

Seats one (1) person. Requires widening of most privately accessible streets.

Since Goebbels used the phrase "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear", then he'd be the one arguing against the right to privacy. The fascist dogma is eroding privacy in favour of surveillance - ostensibly to protect the people, but really just to control them.

beebarfbadger ,

And that's why we must lock every one of our free citizens up. Y'know, for their protection.

beebarfbadger ,

It kinda does feel like spez is just testing how much he can squeeze out of the leftover marks at reddit before leaving the carcass out to dry.

beebarfbadger ,

To defenestrate? To throw out of a window. To fenestrate? You'd think it means throwing back into a window, but NO, IT MEANS THE SAME THING. Look it up.

I am deeply disappointed, English language...

beebarfbadger ,

No no no, that's just "Florida Man", that's the one dude you keep hearing about. Florida Georg is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock. (www.theverge.com)

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

beebarfbadger ,

No, you're seeing this the wrong way. The iceberg stands for urgently needed structural reforms in the body of the Titanic. After the project is completed, they'll make movies about the whole thing, you'll see!

Have enough money and the number of people pretending to take you seriously will skyrocket proportionally.

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! I am clearly loudly screaming about the children, so anybody who is against me with their logic or reasoning or well-founded objections must then obviously be AGAINST the children because these are the only two (2) options that exist. So you better shut up and take whatever abuse I can dish out because you don't wanna look like a terrorist! Or a pedophile? I forget what boogeyman we're currently using as an excuse to get people to agree to taking away their rights.

beebarfbadger ,

But how many ounces per stone in a tenday is that?

beebarfbadger ,

The artists whose stuff was stolen with the intent to profit from replacing their labour with the click of a button.

beebarfbadger ,

I think you just answered the question why monopolists are working so hard at preventing that.

beebarfbadger ,

but creating a training database for your commercial product is distinctly different from research

Oh, but they are researching how to massively profit off stuff they steal from other people, so it counts again.
