On SpaceX IPO,
Q1 results are worth noting:
$4.28B net loss on $4.69B revenue,
add +$3.75B/q from Q3 (+$2.5B in Q2, Anthropic)
and +$2.76B/q from Google starting Q4,
it likely will be profitable before CAPEX by year-end,
and has its x2.4 Rev YoY for Q1 2027 already signed.
@clairlemon I remember reading Antifragile roughly in 2014 back in Moscow - it stroke me then how fragile Russia really was according to that concept. Feet of clay this war has exposed.

And didn't you share a somewhat contradicting lived experience just 6 years ago?

@sri9s Let alone Uber drivers, couriers or ML engineers.
5 years ago drone operator wasn't a thing, agents operator wasn't a thing.
2 years ago many though prompt engineer would be a thing, but it seemingly won't.
@sri9s Let's look at it retrospectively: 30 years ago noone would've named SEO, influencers, e-commerce merchants or many other professions which nowadays exist in Digital economy which is already 20% of global economy.
@mg111uch@beffjezos For instance cause the world isn't homogenous and UBI in one place would require that place to lock itself down harder than any regime in history - you'd end up with a segregation that'd dwarf any apartheid before it. And we're nowhere near making the UBI global.
@raberhalex@Nick_Davidov How miserable must one be to post something like this. I genuinely hope things improve for you - at least enough to stop blaming strangers for your own underperformance.
