Honestly? Especially if it was only for cops

I suspect there's a tendency of experts in something to think of people who do it narrowly as people doing at least as much as they are.

The people who have a bunch of docker services, or complex multi-machine infrastructure are self-hosted software users, and probably in that 1-2% range. People who heard piholes are useful, so they bought a pi 3 and set it up are self-hosted software users. Somebody using an old desktop they got on Facebook marketplace for running Plex media are self-hosted software users.. and so on. So are the people in their houses, some of their friends and family.

Using that inclusive definition, being closer to 10% than 1% makes sense to me.

You don't get to be a billionaire without some malfeasance.

And even if you don't assume actively malicious intent like you should with Musk, there's a lot of potential danger with technology like this, and if you don't stand a lot to gain, and have reasonable controls against things going wrong, it's probably not a good idea to be an early adopter. It's just like a pacemaker, there are a narrow segment of people who should want to test a new model/concept for them.

Speed cameras are a privacy issue that doesn't solve the problem of speeding. People are most comfortable driving the speed the road is designed for, and if that speed is too high, the solution is to modify the road for a safer speed. The speeders in your example are right here, for the wrong reason; speed cameras should be rare if they're allowed to exist at all. They have, at most, a short term benefit, and broad public surveillance is a very serious issue they contribute to.

"if I randomly stop in the middle of the road so another car can get in, the car right behind me probably won't hit me"

I was one of the people who went to college to learn things, but the more I learn, the more I'm saddened by all the people I went to school with who studied things they didn't enjoy, didn't particularly care to get better at, all because they saw it as a way to make money. In optimizing for money, they miss out on learning and fulfillment.

This wasn't that long ago, but I can only imagine how much heavy GenAI use could intensify that effect

Imagine borrowing $200k for an education, and then doing as little work as you can to actually learn the things you're paying to know

If a problem exists, and you try to fix it without AI, do you even stand a chance at getting promoted?

Even if he doesn't enter Canadian waters, couldn't Denmark just invoke article 5? That's a recipe for a war even more damaging to the US than the trade wars he's been instigating.

He's just a weak old man pretending to be what he thinks a strong man is.

She had the title for only 4 months, and she's dead already? I think that title might be cursed guys

If you lie so much you'll have trouble keeping your story straight, and eventually make a mistake and drop a few truths in there somewhere

Since I'm so inexperienced as a CEO, I'd even do it for a tenth of a percent of his pay. I'd find a way to scrape by on several million a year.
