Musk’s abrupt firing of the team initially seemed like a display of power—a way to assert control and show he could make tough decisions in the face of investor pressure.

A display of power is NOT caving to investor pressure and instead doing what is best for the company. This was a display of weakness.

Your cavalier attitude towards not caring if laws may back-fire or not.

Politicians shouldn’t consider whether the laws they pass may have bad consequences later on?

So “all is good” and “all is lost” are the only two viable options then?

There are levels of extremists. It’s not clear “good” and “bad”. Look at the US who is putting s vaccine denier in charge of health policy.

Vaccines objectively work. That is the truth. But “Truth” isn’t always universally agreed upon.

Or are you batting for the fascists and autocrats and want to give them more power faster?

Don’t be a dick.

Sure, just have that team of lawyers you have on retainer go ahead and file it for you

“only denied by extremists”

And what happens when they are behind the bench?

“Duh”

But laws are decided by humans. And humans are falable. One person’s “objective fact” is another person’s “lie”.

So when you give a state power to punish people for lying you have to ask yourself - “who is deciding what ‘true’ is?” in that scenario. And will they be the ones deciding it in the future?

It rather depends on who is determining what is “true” doesn’t it?

What exactly are you expecting to happen? Have you written code before?

Russia has done good work in that area too. They make it a strict crime to spread false information.

though he’s big into the clickbait game

Seriously. I used to like his stuff but lately it’s just way over-produced crap.

It’s faster, lower power consumption, and very well supported.

Humans aren’t sorting this though. A computer is.

How should 5.2 and 5.12 be sorted? Numerically 5.12 is less than 5.2. But if it’s a version then it’s “five dot twelve” and thus 5.12 is greater.

These are contextual things that are very difficult for a computer to know. And trying to guess often just makes things weirder. So they often sort in a way that is at least consistent.

Trump’s gonna overthrow this moron.

“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”

It’s going to be 50% pot and “69” jokes.

Directing angry mobs at people in these positions could be an effective way of vacating them whether it’s an “official” department or not.

This is vile. These are non-elected positions and the people who hold them are doing a job the government asked them to do.

You can complain about the positions but you do not attack people personally over it. Especially if your followers are as stupid and dangerous as musk’s.

It’s much easier to tell somebody else to sacrifice than do it yourself isn’t it?
