How is Google competing with SpaceX?

If you look at the IPO filings you’ll see that Spacex as we know it is just a small part of the expected revenue generator. It is supposedly Grok and AI, hence Google competitor.

I can’t believe serious people use Grok. It has to be propped up by Twitter usage/Musk fans right? It really strikes me as the worst one.

Well you or me also can publish a statement claiming we are Google's competitors. That doesn't mean they'll take it seriously.

They’re both AI companies

All companies are now AI companies. Just like a while ago all companies were suddenly Ads companies. The entire tech sector is one big FOMO - once you reach certain scale you do exactly the same thing as everyone else.

I get what you mean but SpaceX owns xAI, which is objectively a company that trains models and has massive distribution by owning X.

I don’t think their models are competitive with Google, and Google obviously has the best distribution imaginable, but they definitely are a competitor.

In the way that Michael Jordan and myself are both basketball players

One of which has more capacity and wants even more, one of which has less capacity and is renting it out.

In the sense that if you want to sell anything whatsoever today it must an AI story.

One is an ad company the other a lifestyle venture?

There will definitely be a Butlerian Jihad to destroy the abominable intelligence and rampant digitalisation

I haven’t followed this case at all but how do you know which data is from children if you don’t do some kind of verification?

Btw in Germany the courts ruled that From the river to the sea as parole itself is not unlawful. The arrested person got acquitted.

Hamas and its symbols are illegal however.

Didn't they also arrest a guy for writing some random Arabic on a flag because Hamas also has a flag written in Arabic?

Idk did they? Who knows man a lot of stuff is said on the internet that might’ve or might’ve not happened

So the goated take in your opinion would be to just believe that a guy in Germany was arrested for writing random Arabic letters that kinda look like the Hamas logo without any proof or sources because it fits a certain narrative?

I’m not saying it’s impossibleb but there should be some evidence for such a strong claim

No, you see; that is why your take is so ungoated. You know it is not an impossible claim, you also have access to internet, but you opt for benefit of the doubt. As I said, there is a line between fair benefit of the doubt and the taste of shoe leather.

Yea I did 5 minutes research on google and nothing turned up. If it’s such an outrageous case it should be easy to find - so your point is that I should invest hours trying to prove some claim that some rando typed on here while taking a shit.

Nah bro a goat like me has much better things to do.

If you make outrageous claims the burden of proof is on you and not the people you’re talking to.

You don't have to prove anything, but given the staggering amount of evidence to support such event as likely, you opt to dismiss it without evidence. Like I said, shoe leather.

Since there is such a staggering amount of evidence around, care to provide even a single piece?

Evidence for what?

That in Germany “they also arrest a guy for writing some random Arabic on a flag because Hamas also has a flag written in Arabic” - that was what I didn’t believe initially, and what you called me a bootlicker for lmao

Yes.

"The process is the punishment".

I hear that often but I have yet to find any issues with it.

Maybe I’m too niche or not niche enough to run into issues. I also never download software from any site like this so maybe that’s it.

Even so, have a look around, there are better sites.

Idk I went to probably dozens of public protests here screaming no justice no peace, fuck the police and nothing ever happened to me, except a little tear-gas once in a while. I might be on some secret police lists not sure.

Living in Germany so UK might be much worse for all I know , but I would be surprised if Germany is the shining paragon for democracy now.

Germany tends to allow protests they know will have no effect. Try a Palestine protest - those are more dangerous to the regime. Also take note of the ratio of cops to protestors.

I’ve been to plenty of Palestine protests, no idea what regime you are alluding to.

Sure we have a police state problem and I won’t pretend everything is peachy - but it’s far from as extreme as some comments here make it out to be

I had the same experience visiting the US - this was 15 years ago so I imagine it’s much worse now.

Got subjected to hour long questioning because I only had a little cash on me and told them truthfully that I would travel the country so I didn’t have one place to stay for the entirety of the trip (because I was TRAVELLING).

I since learned that my first mistake was to tell them the truth but alas.

After asking me about every single detail of my life they eventually let me in.

It’s a pity, such a great country being ruined by kleptocrats.

That’s simply not true.

Europe is not one country so this can vary a lot depending on which country you are visiting.

I’ve never heard of someone being subjected to the kind of extensive electronic searches that are routine in the US.

Sir this is a message board run by an US-American venture capitalist organisation; frankly what do you expect

I expect the balancers to judge and some car batteries mysteriously catching fire as a counterweight.
