I think it's a midlife crisis thing. He is trying to capture his youth.

So these are the points I can gleam from you.

You can own plane tickets:
No you don't. Airlines own planes and if they want you to be able to sell your plane ticket they will just allow that. People sell and change their plane tickets all the time. What you cant do if you have your ticket on the blockchain is easily change it to another flight because a storm cancelled the first one because allowing the airline to have that control over your ticket breaks the system.

You own things in games:
The company owns the game. if the company restructures at any point and closes down the servers you will find out that you actually don't own a game card. You own a very long string of numbers that are useless without the game and the intellectual property of the game

You don't have to rely on institutions to enforce contracts and ownership:
Nothing makes me sound like an anarchist faster than this kind of bullshit. Contracts are enforced by the dominant state apparatus trough the sanctioned use of violence. No other magic can make you own stuff.
Ownership and contracts as we currently understand them must work like this because most of society is still made out of flesh stone and metal. I don't own my house because I pay money for it. that is part of the deal when I moved in, but the main part of the ownership is that I have a deal with the government that they will send armed men to the building I live in if someone else tries to live in it without my approval. I dare you to name any ownership that doesn't work like that.

What is the legitimate use you see? People in this post keep saying there are legitimate uses and gives no examples of what that is.

A pokemon game with low artistic standards? It can't be!

Because they are fascists with power. You can praise them all day every day but when it comes down if you are different in any way they will see you as a deviant and a sickness.

It is not quite the same. It recommends things you watch. If you watch Hasan you tend to get more Hasan stuff but only on rare occasions do you get Vaush stuff.

Back in the day you could watch one non political thunderfoot about some scam and the recommendations would be a rouges gallery of anti-sjws with no other recommendations.

Now you can get radicalized because you want to be and it's a nice saunter down the hill. Then it was a sheer cliff you could accidentally fall into. If you didn't experience it you can't really imagine how stupid it was.

Understanding how things happened helps you not doing it again. When the say we don't know what happened they are not talking about individual videos. They are talking about the algorithm. Google made a radicalizing algorithm and then they stopped but because we don't know why the first algorithm was so radicalizing it could happen all over again and we wouldn't know until literal millions have already gone down the rabbithole.

I would believe it but this is Elon and its absolutely a 420 reference. Somewhere there is a blueprint that says 42.0 because it's the first draft.

When I read the headline I assumed that glass house was a technical term for some financial bullshit but no. He is just building a house with a lot of glass in it. Using company funds to build a private house is almost vanilla when it comes to musk.

My favorite part is when the app randomly starts playing a random short when you open the app.

It's not going to be done properly now either because it will be dumped on someone that is barely keeping up with their work load as is.
