Also all of their promo-images were AI generated which bodes really well.

God, I didn't even notice that. A pack of millionaires but they're too cheap to pay a concept artist.

no irritating residents groups on Mars. And no need for an environmental impact report. It really is quite close to early colonialism

A sidenote: the brothers who made Stripe are involved. One of them (John I think?) was complaining on Twitter recently about all the unnecessary "environmental red tape" in Ireland.

Wouldn't there be a negative feedback loop where the genetically prone to illness can only get crap insurance and due to crap healthcare die younger and live more unhealthy years, which makes them poorer? And their kids can also only get crap insurance due to loss of generational wealth and/or inherited disease until eventually family members are dying of diseases of poverty?

And a positive feedback loop for the healthy middle classes, whose sick kids get improved care?

Same business model of every tech startups of the late 20 years - use investor cash to pull through years of making no money until you either crash & burn or eliminate all traditional competition and can start charging customers bullshit prices

So the cars are running people over and drifting between lanes on purpose? I suppose if I woke up and realised I was a Tesla car, I'd develop homicidal impulses too.

Who decided that this point on the climate change graph was a good point at which to spend millions of dollars on AI.

Altman mentions the Social Network as a film that inspired people to start tech startups. I haven't seen the film, but the Social Network is also quite critical about startups and tech bros, isn't it?
