Yes, the whole thing is especially frustrating because the app was quite nice. Harriette did a really good job really quickly.

Not much good at anything, but incredible at self-promotion so people think he is

A friend of mine once made what I thought was an absolutely brilliant observation: "Self-promotion is the only skill that is consistently rewarded."

I think governmental organizations should do the same. It's absurd that FEMA or whoever essentially has to rely of Elon's goodwill.

Why should a political organization be tax-exempt?

Yes, that’s pretty much where I’m at.

If the quality of AI-generated content degrades to the point where it’s useless that is also fine with me.

So in order for data to be useful to AIs, AI-generated content will have to be flagged as such. Sounds good to me.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. He’s got the sensibility of a teenage boy. He thinks things like the letter X and the color black are totally cool, and he thinks naming his company “Space-Sex” and one of its spacecraft “Big Fuckin’ Rocket” is the height of humor.

Up to a point. Google+ was invite only for so long that by the time it became available to the general public no one cared anymore. When people signed in with their new accounts they couldn’t find anyone they knew, and they never came back.

Really stupid on Google’s part, because they launched at a time when people were angry with Facebook for selling private user data, and a lot of users probably would have moved to G+ if they had been able to.

Yes, I signed in out of curiosity, and I was completely disoriented because there was no feed of just the people I followed. I kept clicking around, thinking I was missing something obvious.

That's just privacy protection. I own a few domains, and none of the whois information points to me personally.

One reason might be that they couldn’t even be bothered to say what the moment they enjoyed was.
