With this study's hack back-of-the-envelop math counting "human being alive while creating" as part of their calculation, AI should have to include the entire carbon output of any artist or writer that exists in it's training data for the time they were creating that art.

I'm content with being rich. Most people are content with less than that. Maybe I'm reading the guy wrong, but he doesn't seem happy or content. So why would I do something I don't want to do to achieve something that I don't need.

As for the real value of SpaceX and Tesla. I think there is value there, but probably less than most and I don't buy into "great man theory", so I would probably ascribe the success to the actual engineers and designers that did a majority of the work. He is a good leader for what he is trying to accomplish with those two companies as far as I can tell.

Even reading up on his history is difficult given how credulous tech media is in general. With tech media basically turning the smoke machines on all around something, I can't blame people from assuming there is fire somewhere. I've often said that the most reliable way to get "rich rich" is to watch where money is flowing from point A to point B, stand in the middle and stick your hand out. Elon has certainly mastered that, but I don't have to ascribe "genius" to it.

Building a subway is infrastructure, not manufacturing. Elon recently said the sheet metal in the cyber truck needed to be machined to the precision of a red blood cell. This is not somebody who understands manufacturing.

I like to know "why" things work even when I can mostly get away with knowing "how" they work.
