There's just no such thing as an amazing person. All people are of equal worth. It's a terrible concept.

Those two categories are both random af. Are local police "Big Government" according to even half of the people who use the phrase "Big Government"? Are banks that utilize AI "big tech"? What about government intelligence agencies that have venture wings and invest in these companies? How quick a revolving door between the two blurs your distinction? Are you imagining pitched legal battles between the two based on public court filings? How likely are the filings themselves falsely suggesting some schism between the two that doesn't exist?

Yeah this shit has got to stop. I'm sorry that you're competing on a platform that is overly sensitive to the truth, but hound Amazon, not your customers. And if you don't like it, maybe use all that fervor to organize and start competitors that aren't sensitive to that kind of truthtelling from customers: take all of the vendors who are disfavored by the platform and run something that isn't skewed. The tech has been out here for long enough that someone needs to make an amazon competitor.

I like paper books. Can I buy a paper copy? Your purchase flow is unclear.

Angering lawmakers does not matter . . . .

No one, even on a powerful committee, has any real power to legislate at the moment, and so the anger is really just that: the basis for a WSJ headline.

Is there a Discord that routinely discusses issues like this?

ACLU Counsel's actual statement was equivocal af. They aren't the standard bearer on this issue. They just aren't.

>"That would require you to create some association between your personal and work account right?"

Obtuse af. Is this default assumption that the user is the one who has to "create" associations in the company's systems based on anything? The big tech cos have been social mapping since before 2012 and they undoubtedly register when two accounts use the same IP.

Like the Weeknd and Obama over the last month or so, my man Elon needs to rediscover the value of mystique. In other words, STFU and do science.

He's just not ever going to be as cool as Bill Gates. Like really, we get it. You're ambitious. You're pushing the boundaries of human technology. That's enough. We would like you for that alone.

When he opens up more than that, it's just reading lists like this and twitter spats with fucking small town mayors, and unfortunate stories about his dad or about his ex-wives and he's really just cringy as a mfer once we get past all the science, but seriously the science is great.

Mystique my man. You don't need to talk to us plebs. Stop.

I was on M.I.T.'s campus a bunch. Are these the posters that are in the, um, main building you see on your way from the undergrad campus to the law school on your right? https://artvee.com/collection/dietmar-winklers-mit-posters/

The FTC is an executive agency with the enforcement equivalent of prosecutorial discretion. It's not a court.

You get that congress isn't a single actor and that there are people in congress who do, right?
