I’m incredibly surprised as to how fast people are forgetting who the CEO and largest shareholder of Tesla is.

Whatever breakthrough they’re making, is it worth funding the dismantling of democracy?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I actually think the current Apple watch is already powerful enough.

Daily life is ok with it but most of the issues come from banking and governmental apps.

I wish society was not as keen on making everything go through smartphones nowadays.

This is beautiful. I'd really love to see some serious discourse about the place that generative art should have in our society and about what art really means in today's age of overconsumption.

I'm not sure art is still meant to be a widely shared experience and smarter people than should tackle this idea.

At what point can we say that the US truly has fallen from being the leader of the world?

Each and every decision taken by the current administration is bringing the US closer to an age of darkness and idiocy.

I’m from Europe, I’m not saying the US was ever perfect but I don’t understand how it came to this.

My bet is a on a combination of extreme individualism due to a poor internalisation of the ideals of liberalism combined with a predatory capitalistic environment.

It’s sad to see what happens to a society that has the highest concentration of the brightest minds in world mostly working towards money related goals. So many great people that could work for the greater good and are dutifully tuning algorithms for the 0.01% capturing everyone’s attention and ideas.

Sad state of the world but I guess you can’t stop “progress”.
