Oh no. Can you please think of the poor corporation and its CEO? The negativity you talk about regarding AI is hurting them badly. Now Jensen Huang is begging you to stop being so negative about AI: "[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said. This is the same thing the Microsoft CEO said a couple of weeks back. It would be a shame if you boosted and spread this negative news. Lmao.

I mean, you started saying that all jobs will be replaced by AI especially, you said don't learn compsci/math, and that the IT field and software dev jobs are doomed. Those were your exact words last year.

So turns out nobody likes job loss, especially their ability to have tiny things like being able to pay rent and put food on the table for kids and family or buy meds. So how dare you all talk about AI negativity that hurts my shareholders and stop thinking about your family welfare.

I don't like being negative, but Elon Musk just needs to learn to shut up. He contributes nothing good to the world when he speaks.

It is impossible to find much harmony, from a modern point of view, in the attributes and functions of [ancient Babylonian goddess] Ishtar: she was the goddess of war as well as of love, of prostitutes as well as of mothers; she called herself "a compassionate courtesan"; she was represented sometimes as a bearded #bisexual deity, sometimes as a nude female offering her breasts to suck; ...
