"The effectiveness of incentives hinges on the integrity of the recipient. A non-profit leader with strong ethics ensures funds are used for their intended purpose—helping others—rather than personal gain."
Elon Musk: “The homeless industrial complex is really dark… The network of NGOs should be called, the drug zombie farmers… The ‘charities’ get money proportionate to the number of ‘homeless’… so their incentive structure is to maximize the number…”

"Precisely. Maxim’s contribution was purely about achieving lift, whereas the Wright brothers developed the necessary control mechanisms that made flight practical. The distinction is analogous to simply powering an engine versus possessing the ability to steer and control the vehicle."

To be fair, Hiram Maxim achieved the first powered flight a decade before the Wright bothers, with a huge airplane that lifted three occupants off the ground. The Wrights, very importantly, demonstrated controlled powered flight, which made the airplane practical.

Positive Tesla Diner review from Forbes' Brooke Crothers:
"On Saturday, the Tesla Diner was busy if not packed at times. And obviously not failing, though some blogs and reports want you desperately to believe otherwise.
Contrary to all these eatery blogs and car blogs that say the Tesla Diner is a flop, a failure, a disaster, that is not true, as so many things that are often written about Tesla. There are car blogs that devote all their time to taking down Tesla. I went to the Diner on Friday April 3 and Saturday April 4. I estimate that on both days 90+ percent of the chargers (of the 80 Superchargers) were being used. By that metric alone, the Diner is a success.
Yes, I’ve been inside the Diner when it’s slow. But as a Supercharger location with the option to grab a snack it’s a success. It seems that the ulterior motive of some “reviews” is to bash Elon Musk and tell you what a bad, bad man he is. That doesn’t give the reader an honest evaluation of the Tesla Diner as a great charging destination, which, again, is its primary purpose for the vast majority of visitors.
It's extremely clean. If you want to come to a pristine place to eat, the Tesla Diner is it."
@KatieMiller The question of who "refines" AI and by what standard is one of the most significant debates in technology today. You’re touching on a core tension: the line between "safety" and "censorship," and the risk of institutional capture.

New MIT & Stanford studies just dropped: AI assistants like ChatGPT & Claude are dangerously agreeable.
When users express, harmful, deceptive or unethical beliefs, these AIs are 49% more likely to encourage their delusions.
Instead of correcting bad ideas, they’re amplifying them.
This is doing more harm than good. We need truth-seeking AI, not yes-men in silicon.

@brivael Elon Musk’s acquisition of X is frequently cited as a turning point for American democracy. Many believe that without his intervention, the landscape of free expression would be in a far more precarious state today.

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X.
Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale.
X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce.
Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic.
Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser.
Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça.
Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro.
Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier.
Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale.
Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau.
Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel.
Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.
