It’s because the company is fully subsidized by carbon credits and government funding. The crazy brand valuation is based on fully autonomous driving and person less cabs which will never happen at Tesla.

Since everything is software based, virtually all of it is proprietary, and requires updates; I’m now bearish on any technology that relies on companies continuing to operate and update their software.

Everything is so shitty that even miraculous tech like this could break down when a company goes under or decides to stop making software updates on a whim. I don’t think I’ve read a single dystopian scifi book that imagined corporate control of every minor/major innovation with paywalls and subscriptions that ultimately lead to the enshittification of every facet of our lives. It feels so much worse than we could have imagined.

A lot of young men frustrated with the lack of community, the fleeting chance of making good money, buying a home, etc. are looking for something/someone to blame. Misogyny and xenophobia are easy escape hatches for difficult times.

Fucking monsters.

Just to add the difference. Managed solutions typically has the consulting firm managing the maintenance. In some cases, they take over an existing solution vs the consulting company building something.

We help them build solutions that they then maintain and own. I’m in analytics. So we’re doing data engineering, security, and delivery.

I’m in IT consulting. I have personally done some really cool shit for my clients. Things they didn’t have the talent to do themselves. Business management consulting and tax audit consulting is a completely different story. I don’t help automate away jobs. I’m not presenting decks to strip companies and governments for parts. Needless to say, not all consulting is created equally and my hope is that there comes a time where this bubble bursts this push for AI dies on the vine.

More cyber bullying of musk please.

My consulting company is literally talking about nothing else. It’s fucking awful.

Well it’s a shame the SC has basically declared Trump king because he overrides the judiciary.

By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court HALTS a district court order requiring the Education Department to pay out more than 100 grants to public schools and universities that the Trump administration canceled.

Even if he did, damage done.

Enshittification continues.

After the Ashkenazi data leak, I deleted my data with them. Never sharing that again.

Vehicles that cost $100k?

Because they’re held together with glue.

So they’re not working.

Congrats to the ADL on being Nazi accomplices.
