2022: #JohnNaughton lays out the well-known propertarian and Hayekian side of crypto evangelism, then this intriguing observation;

"Lots of people will point out that the Satoshi memo, which released the idea for blockchain, more or less coincides with the fall of Lehman Brothers, and... [that] being a token for the corrupt, uncontrollable nature of financial capitalism and it's untrustworthiness."

When Elon Musk’s ‘flying sofas’ give Ukraine internet access, we can’t sit comfortably

The Starlink system has been vital to Zelenskiy’s forces, but it can’t be good to have a volatile billionaire playing a crucial role in a major European war

Can AI-generated art be copyrighted? A US judge says not, but it’s just a matter of time

#JohnNaughton asks, in The #Guardian, if #Tesla is doing to the car industry what #Apple did to #Nokia. There are several errors in the article (the Tesla Roadster was based on a #Lotus #Elise, not Elite, and the #Toyota #bZ4x is *not* cheaper than a Tesla. Which is precisely the problem traditional car manufacturers are facing. They can’t build #EVs cheap enough. Even worse, some (like #Ford and @VWGroup) are actually cutting back investment!

People scoffed at the idea of electric vehicles for the masses. But now a Tesla hatchback has outsold the Toyota Corolla
