Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

SpaceX is actually really fucking successful, why would be destroy it by tainting it with shitty AI? Oh right, because he's a moron who does way too much ketamine.

I'm assuming you mean operationally but not financially? They wouldn't have to raise capital so much if it were financially so...

I'm using the success rate of the Falcon 9 rocket and how many launches they do as my metrics. If they're not doing well financially then they're making some questionable financial decisions.

Spacex, walking the path of something solved literally 4 decades ago: blows up many rockets

Yeah, super successful. As a grift of course, because that’s what it is
