He wasn't talking to them, it was a product pitch for anyone listening. I am disgusted the university even brought him in. Worth noting he's in the Epstein files as well.

It's always the people you most expect isn't it.

Well, he certainly fits the profile: rich, arrogant and out of touch.

It's weird these idiots think they'd be getting cheers for hyping tech (which if it actually worked as advertised) would be killing the employment opportunities of all the people in the room.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It doesn’t work. But they are still using it to kill those jobs.

They need this to happen. It's a huge shift in how they can negotiate worker rights in the future. Which is to say, they don't want to ever negotiate worker rights again.

The thing is if it did work as advertised people would just run their own models rather than subscribe to their services.

“When someone offers you a seat on the rocketship, you do not ask which seat, you just get on.”

Lol, what a statement

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago

The most expensive seats need to be in the thruster nozzles.

Translated for the rest of us:

“You working-class chum will be unquestioning servants, and you’ll be grateful for it!”

that's how you end up on a chair zip-tied to the outer hull

Hey, if you know another way for a rocket's thermal shield to not only cost nothing but to pay you, I'd like to hear it!

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

It's amazing I will make billions!

Why aren't you cheering?

They never watched that twilight zone episode "The Brain Center at Whipple's" to the end. Not realizing that they will be replaced long before the last tech.
