Something in the water
This pod went largely unnoticed, I think mainly because its extremely badly titled which has very little reference to the content. It is extremely eye opening in terms of understating what might shape some of these world view shifts. bsky.app/profile/dana...
Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but itβs also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away. -Boethius circa 524 AD
Itβs my belief that history is a wheel. βInconstancy is my very essence,β says the wheel. βRise up on my spokes if you like but donβt complain when youβre cast back down into the depths.
It would be great if we could hold some of them on this app. bsky.app/profile/just...
Lunacy is the word. I think when u're living thru something ur mind has ways to cope and we struggle to really comprehend the gravity of things which is why people freeze in these moments. If this was a film, I would have turned it off becuz the plot had now gotten too ridiculous to suspend belief.
Its all one big joke to him. Look at this pinned tweet. He clearly believes he is completely above the law.
One of his closest friends did an analysis on him recently. Its not that different!

It looks like I got it wrong and the videos are from Leesburg in Virginia. The hall contains a huge amount of federal workers sharing experiences since Musk's take over. One of the people Musk sent in is sleeping on the work floor with his baby and wife!!!
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"
Check the videos I just posted on timelines. They are from a townhall in the area.
I just posted some videos on my timelines from a townhall in that area. They are not happy!
This is why you need real consequences for his actions!
PUT HIM IN JAIL!
I am not joking, its where he belongs.
You should listen to the pod. This isn't really about the tech bros. I don't actually know why @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social titled the pod this way because its really very little to do with the content.

Kara have you listened to Ezra's other pod with James Pogue, 'MAGAβs Big Tech Divide'. I think these are things you should be talking about more so people are aware of this world.

Such an interesting episode, I had to listen twice and have saved it to come back to it in the future. Highly recommend.
I had this live in the background listening and this is what I thought I heard her say. I presumed the journalist in the room ignored her because I had misheard and laughed at myself. wtf, how did no one challenge her on this ridiculous claim?
The use of everyone's data felt like intermediate stage to a better world. I find it curious if u truly believe in final outcome y any of this stuff matters. It should all be about acc and sharing seems the best way to make that happen. This is the piece if anyone is wondering. moores.samaltman.com
It curious how Sam changed in the last few years. At 1 point he even wrote wat I think is one of best pieces on how we create an economy that shares in AI more broadly. I've always been happy to let capitalism drive AI innovation as end game is massive positive changes that are an inevitable endgame
@mcuban.bsky.social do you have any idea when SkySpaces will come online? There haven't been any updates from the Eng who said they close to launching over 2 months ago. People are asking for updates but not getting any responses. Communities really form around these spaces. bsky.app/profile/just...
Mark do you have any idea when SkySpaces if at all will come online? There hasn't been any updates from the Eng who said they were close to launching over 2 months ago. People asking for updates but not getting any responses. Communities really form around these spaces. bsky.app/profile/just...

This is a very clear explanation from @mmasnick.bsky.social of why everyone should be here, not over there. (Though I guess I should be posting this screenshot over there, not here.) www.techdirt.com/2025/01/27/e...
One of the strangest things is the crypto crowd shouting about decentralisation and they have all stayed on X.
Incredible footage taken of Sam Altman talking to the head Open AI Engineer this morning!
Philip Low who was a long-time friend and peer of Elon Musk giving his thoughts on the current day version. Its distressing we live in a society which seems incapable of dealing with a private individual wielding this amount of power to the detriment of society as a whole.
