Avuncular - of or having the qualities of an uncle.
“His avuncular joke was both lazy and sexist”
This will definitely cause pause amongst the non-cost sunk companies. They will be wondering what Apple knows.
IMO this signals the lack of clear ROI versus maintenance costs. Silicone Valley is used to funding huge projects like Amazon which took years to choke out the competition and make money. But AI is a new market which is more interesting to investors than people who didn’t want it in their mouse.
It’s a review of someone who has never worked with one. Stock images and “I imagine it would… “ comments.
This is the funnest looking person I’ve ever seen. Looks like the guy who lights up any room he enters.
Edit: he’s also this guy!!! My new hero is also one of my previous ones …
Leonardo pulls something out of his ass and throws it at a horrified Michelangelo
Edit: corrected names and apologized to my 7 year old self
Painted by small paint dots replicating the pixel that would come later.
It’s our Pale Blue Dot
True! But I’m not under the illusion that I am in magical whale mist.
Favourite word in the English language: snarge.
If you are whale watching and get the most from a blow hole, know that you are being sneezed on and are covered in millions of bacteria
Get the credit cards at a low commitment hoping the frogs don’t notice the water starting to boil
I’m sure your grandparents are lovely. My thoughts were more with the decision makers from that era. How peace and acid translated into oppressive views of women
I know it’s an unfair comment to make but it’s in response to generic older generation pissing on the next, saying how things were better in their day.
The vast majority of boomers I’ve met have been kind. But there’s an element of the old men on tv victim blaming that got me thinking it’s a pattern from their idealized days when women “knew their place” and the “negro man” wasn’t so complainy
Maybe my shower thought was too harsh sounding.
This seems like a pretty significant achievement
I miss civil discourse
AI has ruined me. Was looking for the subliminal “send nudes” in this picture
Who in their right mind would have gotten on a plane with that guy. It’s the same as standing between him and an open window
Totally agree but they would have been subsidized for anyone. It was Elon who did it
Reminder: I really hate him
But people saying that anyone could have done what he did IF they were born with money or IF government subsidies could somehow apply to them too. Plenty of born rich people out there who didn’t.
He’s a smart guy. Emotionally a child, sociopath and narcissist. But he actually deserves some credit.
Elon pulling numbers (which happen to be what the markets want) out of thin site is nothing new. Delivery time of cyber truck? Price points?
He, like jobs before him, has morphed from a brilliant engineer to ruthless marketer. And like jobs before him justifies it versus his internal stunted moral compass
Appreciate him for fostering the electric car economy, admire his work ethic (space x), but hate the guy
LOL Not me
Would be interesting if it was adjusted for inflation
