Timothy Snyder: The global tech oligarchs, be they South African, Russian, or American, conspire with one another, while shutting the rest of us out of our freedoms, our democracy, and even our lives. They try to buy an American political party and try to ease its way into power. And they build their own kind...

Trump Acquired $5 Million In SpaceX Debt Two Days Before Space Transportation Executive Order

Our consolidated corporate press doesn't really make this clear, surprisingly, but the United States is too corrupt to function. There's simply no shortage of evidence across every arena that matters. Trump's corruption is utterly historic, yet it's just endlessly normalized. To the point where most press outlets don't really even mention Trump's corruption clearly when...

Appeals Court Pauses Minnesota’s Nudify Law, Which Ignored Its Own Supreme Court’s Roadmap.

I feel I need to start out posts like this by reminding anyone that nudification apps are bad. They're almost exclusively used to abuse and harass people, most often women. That said, if you're going to ban them legally, you can't just say "nudification apps are illegal." That's not how the First Amendment works. And,...

Elon Said Fighting CSAM Was “Priority #1.” A NY Times Reporter With A Script Found 75 Known Images.

When Elon first took over Twitter with grand plans to "bring back free speech," I tried to help him run through the standard content moderation learning curve that basically every site created by a clueless tech bro runs through. They all start with "we're the free speech site, we allow everything!" and very quickly someone...

Telecom Experts Say Elon Musk’s Wireless Plan Is Historically Stupid

Earlier this month I noted that Elon Musk's Starlink is giving very unsubtle indications that the company wants to jump into the wireless business. I also noted that there's a very long list of reasons why this isn't likely to go well for him, ranging from the extremely high cost of network build-outs, to the...

Elon Musk Wants To Get Into Wireless Phones And He’s Probably Not Going To Have A Good Time

There have been rumblings for a while that America's richest and most annoying white supremacist, Elon Musk, really wants to get into the wireless phone business. His lobbyists have been making noise in support for broader phone unlocking rules, and there've been several IPO-fluffing press leaks over the last few months indicating they're keen on...

SpaceX’s Earnings Show Elon Wiped Out Two-Thirds Of Twitter’s Ad Business

When SpaceX filed for its IPO, we went through the S-1 to point out just how far off the mark Elon Musk's predictions about his Twitter takeover turned out to be. Indeed, the failure of Twitter as a business was so catastrophic, Musk had to hide it by merging all his Xs together: he had...

Elon Musk’s Grokipedia Quietly Stopped Updating In April. Basically No One Noticed.

As perhaps a few Elon Musk fans may remember, he got really annoyed at Wikipedia last year and tasked his second-rate LLM, Grok, with recreating it as "Grokipedia." Grokipedia, launched nearly a year ago, basically starts by forking Wikipedia and then having its AI "generate" more details and more stories. It's... not very good. And...

The $40 Gap: How SpaceX's IPO Forced $10 Billion Into a Losing Stock

A stock was bought at $160 and is now $120. The money was forced in by Nasdaq index rules. The losses were $2-3 billion for everyday investors. The financial media was silent.

NASA Opens Media Accreditation for Roman Space Telescope and Crew-13 Launches

Space enthusiasts love to obsess over the James Webb Space Telescope—and for good reason—but there’s a new giant about to take the spotlight. NASA is quietly gearing up for one of its busiest launch windows in recent memory, putting both a revolutionary deep-space observatory and a fresh crew of international astronauts on the launchpad back-to-back.

Every Platform Is a Filter. The Trick Is Knowing When to Enter One.

Spotify just opened a new set of studios in Hollywood, and the pitch is straightforward: video podcasts, professionally produced, at scale. On the surface this reads as diversification, an audio company adding a camera. Underneath, something more interesting is happening. $SPOT isn’t adding a product line. It’s testing whether the thing that made it valuable,...

The Honest Guess

A best guess that knows it is a guess is worth more than a certainty that does not know it is wrong. That is the whole argument, and it showed up twice this week in the places building these systems, and once, in the opposite direction, in the place pricing them. The engineers are teaching...

When Making Things Gets Cheap, the Money Runs to What Can’t Be Faked

$75 billion. That is what SpaceX raised this week, the largest public offering anyone has ever recorded. Not a valuation, not a paper number, but actual capital, handed over, in exchange for a slice of a company that builds and lands rockets. It is a strange amount to absorb in a single sitting. It is...
