With Musk what he'd see as wasteful is... anything that isn't his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.

Actually they made a new department of "Government Oversight" for him...

Which sounds scummy, but it's basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste... not a bad idea, except it's Right Wingers running it so "Food" would be an example of frivolous spending and "Planes that don't fly" would be what they're looking to keep the cash flowing on

The only time I've seen AI work well are for things like game development, mainly the upscaling of textures and filling in missing frames of older games so they can run at higher frames without being choppy. Maybe even have applications for getting more voice acting done... If the SAG and Silicon Valley can find an arrangement for that that works out well for both parties..

If not for that I'd say 10% reality was being.... incredibly favorable to the tech bros

Not baffling, infuriating, we've all gotten lazier over time and we want everything in one place.

Thing is, when we were on forums and IRC, we only had to play by the rules of the admins.... Now we're under the thumbs of corporations...

Or if you make a self-deprecating joke about being white and get banned for 3 months.... Like I did once (Yet oddly the various reports I made about death threats against me on the basis of me being trans "Do not violate Facebook's terms of service" according to the automated responses)

I actually stopped using facebook to protect my META Account since I..... used to do VR before I got too lazy to do VR.... and developers got too lazy to make games for VR...
