A source on how Steve Jobs marketed the works of Steve Wozniak? Pretty sure that's common knowledge.

Or how PayPal evolved out of an internet bank Elon WAS involved with, but they purchased the internet payment business developed by others, or how SpaceX' Falcon rockets only work thanks to Tom Mueller? Or is it more relevant that every Tesla model since 2008 has been designed by one man, whose name isn't Elon Musk?

Like, this is a well-trod road. It's not groundbreaking news to say Elon didn't design the things he's credited for making.

Yeah alright. But don’t say he revolutionized this thing or that thing. He didn’t. He came from a wealthy family, made more money, and invested in other companies that made even more money. Stop acting like this dude Toby Stark or something. This is the same dude that somehow found a way to make twitter an even bigger dumpster fire. So there’s that.

i disagree. that would leave us still at baseline human. repairing damage to our meat.

this is a step towards replacing the decaying biomass we are stuck in and developing augmentations instead of settling for prosthetics.

Praise be the machine god.

It was literally marketed as a replacement for phone books and functioned as a phone book with more information and resources.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/nastratin:

In California, every driver involved in the testing of autonomous technology has to be registered. Every vehicle involved in testing has to be registered as well with the DMV and has to have a special permit to drive on public roads.

Thanks to those regulations, we now know that Apple’s autonomous driving dream has reached impressive size. The company increased the number of test drivers to 201 while its fleet of test vehicles remains at 67.

It is clear that over the years Project Titan evolved into three separate programs. While the autonomous car has been on and off the drawing board many times over, autonomous driving technology took its own course. Apple can easily leverage its expertise in hardware and software to develop advanced self-driving tech and it aims to achieve it before its rivals.

Do you have a source you can send? Not to discredit your points, but I've read it on reddit several times and never seen links. Would be interested in reading that because I loathe the dude.

A city guide is not a phone book. Nor is it the reason people stopped using them. But alright whatever.

But nuclear is way cheaper and 99.99% risk free now

A true cyberpunk future wouldn't be like this.

Not really. If you're the one providing both direction, infrastructure, and tremendous amounts of money to make something happen then you're largely responsible for it happening.

For what? Zip2, X/PayPal, tesla, and SpaceX all have very readily available information on them

The analogy falls apart a little with figures like Musk and Jobs, though. It's not just the factory, they hired inventors to invent stuff. Literally someone else's ideas making them rich. They just partnered other people's ideas with the means of production.

Almost like they stopped using it for a reason or something... Yeah, the guy created the first online city guide that functioned as an online phone book, wrote the software himself, and grew it into a $300m company before selling to Compaq in 1999. Zip2 was the company... Thats where he got the money to make x/paypal. Which is where he got the money to start tesla and SpaceX

If one guy spends $50 million on factory equipment to make shoes, then pays people to work in said factory, I'd say he definitely holds the lions share of responsibility for the shoes being made... When its a company doing something, yeah, the person funding and running the company is absolutely responsible for what it does.

He revolutionized phone books? The thing that people stopped using like 15 years ago? Tf are you talking about?

Pretty insane stuff, let's hope it turns out to be feasible.

I do similar... I have a consulting firm that helps tech and energy startups find VC funding. At this point the mellower the pitch is the more likely I am to bite. If I hear "our revolutionary ground breaking technology is going to change the way the entire industry works from the ground up!" I stop paying attention almost instantly. If I hear "we made this thing that can save everyone some money and operate more effectively than current options and think it can sell well" I'm all ears.

There are signs of looming local catastrophes, that can be mitigated if we do enough. We should be talking about saving those people, that would be a positive twist. A saving mission, what can be more noble and relatable to westerners?

Instead Antonio uses fear. And I agree with one grandma that recently said on TV in relation to republicans banning books: "Fear is not future. Fear is control"

And Antonio using fear is not begging, Antonio is manipulating for control.

Here, go here and read the submission statement first before you read the article. You need to learn about mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes.
