https://www.youtube.com/@AttenboroughLore for the curious and yes, it's fantastic.

I was watching "him" talk about Tyranids when my kid said, "Isn't that the voice of the guy who does the animal documentaries?".

The man is working very hard to rapidly destroy every single bit of hype and goodwill he has built up in the past.

I'm not even American or in America and I'm mad he derailed the chances of the USA having high-speed rail all for this half-assed hyper-loop project. Switzerland already considered a similar project (Swiss Metro) and despite lots of experience in making tunnels and railways, it was dismissed as unfeasible.

Actually that F-14 in the picutre is missing the highly classified [REDACTED] pod which is capable of [REDACTED] up to a distance of [REDACTED] for IR and [REDACTED] for visual targets. /s

3 and 4 can be fixed with a portable USB DAC/AMP. Lots of options there.

I know someone who preordered this atrocity immediately. He of course drives a Tesla already and was convinced it was fully self-driving capable (3 years ago! LOL).

Some people really embrace Musk's reality distortion field. Other co-workers just made fun of him and asked him if he was going to put his current Tesla S on his Cybertruck's truckbed to max out his Tesla fanboyism.

Just after the Tesla semi!

Hollywood without their secret Australians/Kiwi actors would be in shambles. Well, worse shambles.

Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

He got high on his own supply. The man created quite the aura by leveraging his less-than-glorious Paypal past, his taking over of Tesla and actually doing some interesting things with SpaceX. His companies achieved some genuinely impressive feats which he gladly attributed to himself and probably confined himself to his perceived genius and infallibility.

Hopefully, Twitter will be a teaching moment for him but so far he seems to just double down on his mistakes.

Oh yeah, I didn't thing of that. Electric motors tend to have near-instant max torque.

Terminator would sucker punch Sarah Connor so fast she would be dead before she knew what that big Austria guy at the door wanted.

Movies underestimate how a robot could kill a human with a single punch.

Terminator didn't need firearms, it could just single punch everyone to death. Kind of crazy string chimps are but bigger, stronger and made of metal.
