I look forward to the day when every story isn't framed around an insane old man.

Lately I've been thinking that, in a saner universe, Donald Trump could've just hosted a late night show.

My theory is that Elon is feeling his age, knows that he might be dead before he can send anything to Mars, and figures the Moon is now his best choice. I don't believe it is *all* a complete grift, though it's close...

My Theory of Trump is that he invites people to become part of his delusion/conspiracy/crimes without ever actually asking, doesn't really care that much if you do, but holds a grudge if you don't.

I can't really think that all these awful dudes are particularly happy with the guy who could have done it on day 1 of his term.

Trump will start saying, at some point, that Iran closed the strait first (if he hasn't already, I lose track) and everyone will be nodding, "yup, that's what happened".

At some point, as ICE keeps expanding operations, I expect them to start abducting family and friends of other ICE employees. Not sure what happens then, but it'll be even more messed up.

More and more I think of LLMs as a very interesting form of lossy compression, so the propensity to hallucinate, or the need to build bigger models, doesn't seem surprising. Intelligent it is not.

Next century there'll be charts of life expectancy, with a dip starting about now that they'll call the "RFKJ Dip"; RFK Jr will be vilified. Or maybe that won't happen...

Truthfully I'd be okay with this, mostly because of the great relief I'd feel at never paying attention to Facebook again.

Sometimes I think that, if there are aliens out there evaluating humanity for membership in the galactic community, they are probably thinking "still way too stupid, and they might want to eat us".

All solvable problems, of course, just a simple matter of engineering. Bigger question is who is paying for this and why? I suspect that unless the US government isn't shoveling money into it, SpaceX is bankrupt pretty fast.

Musk just... makes up stuff and stock price goes up. For most people that's just fraud. Aspirational goals are all well and good but given that humans don't have any actual experience staying alive in interstellar space or on Mars, my expectation is that many people will die.

All the news just makes me wonder if Pacifica or Cascadia really becomes a thing. Because I have a hard time seeing how the US just doesn't fall apart.

I'm surprised that it looks like something else happened here. I'm thinking Trump just doesn't gaf and is happy to have people kowtowwing to him. Laziest president ever. Musk et al are just looting. Oh well. US federal government basically nonfunctional now, and screwed for a generation

Seems likely that Musk will want to redirect more money to the Starship boondoggle, since I think SpaceX goes bankrupt without it. He certainly won't deliver on SpaceX's portion of the Artemis mission (which probably gets cancelled).
