Half the reason I still visit Reddit is so that I can hit /gme_meltdown (the other half is sports.)

I prefer people do that than either delete the comment, or edit the original. Otherwise the comment chain makes no sense, and people don’t get a chance to learn from the original incorrect comment.

A redundant concept.

That probably voids the entire warranty or something ridiculous like that.

It’ll be nothing but AI spam.

That’s actually pretty convenient; my old landlord always charged a fee for large furniture/appliance/child removal.

And the stuff they put in chemtrails are the original RNA packets that will change your DNA. The covid vaccine is what activates them.

(But seriously, pretty much every covid vaccine conspiracy is just the chemtrail conspiracy repackaged.)

People only thought it was the former before they actually learned anything about them. They were always this way.

This was a case where you needed the sarcasm tag. Up to then, it was a totally “reasonable” comment from an AI bro.

BTW, plug “crypto” in to your comment for AI, and it’s a totally normal statement from 2020/21. It’s such a similar VC grift.

I think the idea (I don’t say plan, because I think it’s more of a seat-of-the-pants situation) was to first destroy Twitter as a platform for any kind of left wing activism.

Next, make it profitable as a subscription based right wing social media app.

The shit last week was just a rich, fragile narcissist lashing out at his perceived enemies.

They’re all money grubbers. The board are part of a rationalist cult called Effective Altruism that claims to want to save humanity, but they believe they need lots of money to do this (Sam Bankman-fried is an EA guy.)

Sam Altman is also nominally part of this group, but also hangs out with people like musk and Rishi Sunak. He’s more like your typical alt-right tech bro.

This guy is a former (and current) crypto bro who just pivoted to the next tech buzzword. This shit was never gonna be a benefit to humanity.

It’s my opinion that every single person in the upper levels is this organization is a maniac. They are all a bunch of so-called “rationalist” tech-right AnCaps that justify their immense incomes through the lens of Effective Altruism, the same ideology that Sam Bankman-fried used to justify his theft of billions from his customers.

Anybody with the urge to pick a “side” here ought to think about taking a step back and reconsider; they are all bad people.

They have a for profit arm in addition to the non profit.

Well, they do have some sort of crypto integration in that browser, so it makes sense why they come off that way.

I don’t think there were ever that many of us who read Adbusters every month, but it’s likely even fewer now.

I think that reality TV and social media influencers have had as much to do with people embracing conspicuous consumption as a culture as much as advertisers have.

Still the same hot take comments based on an article headline, though.

“Elon musk is a drooling socialist cuck who is apparently far too cowardly to meet my challenge of a firm July 4th, 2024 launch date for his personal mission to mars. Jeff bezos could easily do this if he wasn’t too busy actually running the company that he owns.”

Rs will not allow any more funding for the IRS. You saw how they freaked out when there was finding to hire new IRS agents as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, even though it was to replace existing agents as they retire, not expand the workforce.

Dorsey agrees with Musk on this stuff. He has said before that he didn’t want to ban Trump after J6 and that he was against banning Nazi accounts, but did it because it was a public company, and they kinda had to.

Now he and his buddies are trying to roll out their own social media protocol, bluesky, which is built specifically to not allow Nazis to be banned.
