Seeing his reaction to facts and logic is like watching a cartoon robot’s reaction to a logic bomb.

What’s keeping him in the race is the delusional nature of his supporters. Think about all those points you wrote about what a horrible person he is. How many other candidates could survive even one of those controversies? He lives in an imaginary world of his own creation where whatever he says he believes to be true, and his cult like followers are so brainwashed that their perfectly smooth grey matter just soaks it up like a sponge. There’s precious little he could do or say at this point that would have his base leave him.

And now it’s vote for the senile felon.

Gee, if people had just realized he has no idea what he’s doing 8+ years ago we all would’ve been better off.

Sir/maam, you’ve raised a Psychopath.

Elon’s statements are the verbal equivalent of getting drunk and vomitting on a wall. Stuff comes up that you never expected to see, it creates a huge mess, and whatever sticks, sticks.

Well it was about that time when I noticed that Clarence Thomas was about 8 stories tall and not a Supreme Court Judge after all, but the Lochness monster!

That one yielded some interesting results.

“Jurassic Park but the dinosaurs are replaced by giant angry guinea pigs”

The prompt was something like: “Jurassic Park but the dinosaurs are replaced with giant angry hamsters”

When tech companies say they want to “democratize” they typically mean they are making a service more widely available to the consumer. The democracy bit is that the consumer “votes” with their wallet. A notable early adopter was Amazon, and I would hardly think that the public, today, see that organization as a paragon of virtue. So, in this sense of the word we’re somewhat failing ourselves here.

In the context you present, the companies themselves become little democracies internally. This sounds nice but would ultimately lead to chaos and ruin for those companies. I think this would lead to highly unstable, unprofitable businesses that no investor would ever give money to, or at least not expect any returns from.

Furthermore, I don’t necessarily think it would benefit the consumer in the end. Maybe the employees mostly vote to have a good solid ethical company, or maybe they vote in their own best interests to bring home higher wages and/or just keep their jobs safe. One could argue we just witnessed one such example of this with the recent OpenAI debacle with Sam Altman. Board fired him for potentially going against the stated charter of the company (one that has an ethical basis of essentially putting the security and well being of humanity above all else), at the risk of destroying an $87billion company, yet the employees staged a mutiny forcing the board to reinstate him.

But I digress. At the end of the day I think the most we can ever really expect from companies is that they will, inevitably, find new and creative ways to extract ever increasing amounts of money from us, until such time that we simply cease giving it to them.

Edit: spelling.

Going to have to say no. Not intentionally at least. Especially since I’m not sure what you’re referring to. A quick search suggests a beach in Greece? I dunno, this is just what the AI spat out when I gave it “Cannibal frogs on vacation”. I think it just butchered the spelling as it is often want to do.

Yeah, I know. Best I could do was ask for a vengeful looking celestial charlie chaplin.

Stupid ai and it’s content warnings. Had to go with a vengeful celestial charlie chaplin and edit the moustache down a little.

Never attribute to drugs that which be simply explained by stupidity.
