    Early, undocumented, mass implantation in human subjects WOULD explain some of the fanboyism of late…

    If the IEEE (electrical engineering society) is saying something it must be really bad. They rarely if ever get involved in things like this.

    The only way this should be allowed to move forward is if the board of directors all have the procedure done first.

    You ready to get a montage reel of people pulling their brains out while screaming, straight from a scifi horror movie?

    This reminds me of Trump’s contribution to covid " uh can’t you just flash light on it, or drink chlorine?". Just truly brilliant people having world changing ideas. "We’ll surgically implant chips into brains… ignore the dead chimps

      Yes. He’s smart enough to mostly back the right R&D horses, and good at generating hype. That way, he almost manages to offset the damage he does when his ego gets in the way or he thinks he’s qualified to make engineering decisions or to know which corners to cut.

        When 7 billion people know when you are, the chances of pleasing everyone is close to absolute zero. He has character flaws. So do I. So do you. He also runs very important future forward companies. He helped curate collections of the best talent in the world to create great tech.

          Yes except his character flaws make him a terrible fucking human. But you can keep trying to justify his behavior and beliefs just because you happen to like SpaceX or Tesla or whatever. Won’t fly with many of us.

          That you think musk’s character flaws are comparable to the average person’s says more about you than it does him

          The man’s good at generating hype for his companies, I’ll give you that. His blatant disregard for his employees’ wellbeing, retweeting of antisemitic lies, manchild personality, and implicit support of far right ideology in general goes far beyond the average person’s character flaws, however
