Didn’t Elon try to make the word Cis a slur? Lmao
Chemists are gonna be pissed
Why would the I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE TechnoKing care what chemists think?
Commonwealth of Independent States in shambles

GENERAL KENOBI! YOU ARE A BOLD ONE…
That’s some Uno Reverse shit and I love it.
Also, I didn’t think about how the site still describes Tweets with the same name. Another clever thing that the CEO thought through.
Side question- How many people do you think would still get a brain chip from him?
How many people do you think would still get a brain chip from him?
At least as many that are still putting money into Star Citizen.
Star Citizen will have its own chapter in the annals of awful history, right before GTA Online and After Rust and 7dayz. I shall title my book ‘Forever alphas a How to make money hand over fist by promising endlessly and delivering little to nothing’
Hey now, I enjoy Star Citizen when it’s not completely bugging out or disconnecting me.
Should you pour money into the project though? Probably not.
Totally, go for that.
Don’t give Chris Roberts any more money than you already have, that’s my take.
The game is like 90% setup and staging with bugs stopping you, and 10% fun and engaging gameplay. That 10% has so much promise, I just wish they would cut the bullshit and make a fucking game already.
The space fascism with corporate characteristics backdrop and Chris Roberts putting himself in the lore as the setting’s Elon Musk was pretty awful though.
Oh for sure. I’m not a fan of Roberts, and in-game I play as a character that does everything possible to fight the corporate interests.
Yet you automatically wear a mobiGlas™® like everyone else even while ostensibly being an outlaw, wearing a corporate tracking device. Curious!
Sounds like it’s Skyrim Modding: The Game.

Damn those wokes and their impossible to pronounce neopronouns. send Xeet
If you had an account with google glass, you automatically are on the brainchip waitlist.

It’ll only leave a few tens of thousands of people with dodgy brain implants that the manufacturer no longer offers support for and has discontinued updates on.

I wonder how long it’ll be until someone bombs that kind of place. “They’re literally putting brainwashing chips in people’s brains” seems like serious propaganda fuel.
Meanwhile, I keep my printer pistol on hand at all times.
Inevitabilism is self-fulfilling prophecy bullshit.
The “metaverse” seemed inevitable to media hype and inevitabilists like yourself until it went over like a wet fart. Maybe something like either thing will take over one day, but smugly telling people something is inevitable is less than useless.
EDIT: I originally deleted this comment because I thought maybe I was wrong and that you were just talking about the inevitability of credulous trend-chasing consumers trying to get superpowers with this junk, but it seems you do fully buy into it.

brain chips are inevitable. They will eventually be safe and useful enough that people will use them.
Nah that’s basic biology
Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.
What do you think about the Soviet Union and CYBERSYN? LOL
You sound like early Internet skeptics.
You’ve inherited a Marvel™ soy version of Calvinism, we are historical materialists, not luddites. We just understand why you’re repeating what you’ve heard elsewhere. I.e
- The Internet (now, brain chips, etc) will be a liberatory force and cause a great awakening
Lol no it just reified existing relations to production. The superstructure maintains and shapes the base, not the other way around.
In the end you’re just waiting for a tech breakthrough to solve climate change without drastic changes to production and labor relations the same way evangelicals are waiting for the second coming of Jesus. The world doesn’t work like that. There is no horizon.
Nothing changes unless you’re operating collectively in the material world and using scientific methods to correctly understand preceding actions and to correctly determine immediate and future actions.
The irrelevant take on brain chips is based on a bare minimum of historical analysis and a respect for relevant fields like biology, economics and history. They are a dead end for the relevant future, i.e the next 100 years max before climate change reverts and deteriorates global modes of production to the point that brain chips continue to be totally irrelevant and probably at that point, impossible to produce.
Liberals believe in infinite growth the same way evangelists believe in God, zero connection to the real world.

I get it, you want brain chip treats.
Don’t expect people to cheer them on, especially if they’re owned and operated by companies ran by
and/or
. Also, the heat death of the universe is inevitable too; what’s your point about that?
They will eventually be safe and useful enough
I don’t buy into your empty faith in exploitative techbro bullshit inevitably leading toward nicer and kinder things; some technological things can and do get worse over time, especially software, and I don’t see how brain chips from the same techbros would be any less exploitative when capitalism requires growth mandates and that means more exploitative systems and more hostile practices over time.

Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.
Assuming it is both inevitable and will totally be nice to you and give you neat powers is escapist wishful thinking without material analysis.
You sound like early Internet skeptics.
You sound like a credulous NFT investor, complete with the “this is INEVITABLE” chanting and the “everyone will bow to this eventually and praise it” wishful thinking.

I’d rather not have brain chips be legitimized.

I’m sorry you feel that way
I don’t think there’s any way to prevent it.
There was no way to prevent Google Glass from being everywhere 10 years ago, until there was.
It’s going to happen eventually.
Things that are supposedly inevitable are not necessarily things people have to look forward to if they are shit.

direct energy? I’ll let it melt adopters brains the same way it melted a bunch of monkeys’ brains and continue not thinking about it. and if anyone tries to push me to get one I’ll tell them to pound sand. no way in hell am I giving a corporation direct access to my brain for literally any reason. we live under capitalism - the only version of any product that will ever get produced is the one that makes the capitalists money. move fast and break things isn’t exactly reassuring when it comes to the only brain you’re ever going to have.
That tech cultist probably sees people getting damaged or killed by brain chip treats as some reasonable cost for some magic tech outcome later, “INEVITABLE” and all that, the way that tech cultists see Tesla crashes as always improving the technology somehow.

Oh sure. I’m just saying it’s only a matter of time.
I saw your other posts. You really really want your headchip treats and are trying to make them appear faster like some kind of The Secret manifestation mantra.
It’s easier to direct energy than stop it.
Under capitalism, the “directed” energy is the whims of the ruling class, and your chip treats are likely to only be made more oppressive, mandatory to get and maintain jobs, be more surveillance laden in the way Amazon “fulfillment centers” already are, and with worsening subscription mandates and punitive measures for people that can’t pay up.
Your wishful thinking would be quaint if it wasn’t ruinously naive and based on faith in the ruling class because you really, really want the cyberpunkerinos to come true, faster.

We need one if not.

Confirmation that Tesla Autopilot is a weapon to be used on pedestrians.
Enabling autopilot is committing assault
Probably means that they’re planning DLC that changes the displayed name of the autopilot from “Full Self Driving” to “Vehicular Homicide Mode”

SURELY THE APARTHEID PRINCE IS DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE
I live for this sort of dunking
Is it really though? The name-calling is far more likely to be the reason of the removal.
Calling someone a fascist isn’t name calling if it’s accurately describing a person that believes in fascist ideology.
Maybe it was cisgender that offended
TwitterX? Elon unironically thinks cis is a slurYou’re right.
it extremely clearly says the removal reason was violent speech
