He was reportedly given access to a "top-secret mainframe" hosting the Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and Secure Payment System (SPS) at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS).
I bet it's an ancient system that's still running the fave language of financial big iron: COBOL. What do I not see in that kid's dev experience.
 
I find COBOL interesting, but then again, I also like Forth.
For example, climate change *is* happening and will probably within our lifetimes kill billions south of some latitude, which will simply become uninhabitable.
There'll be attempts at geoengineering, as "going green" was never a realistic choice on a planet as divisive as ours anyways. It was always at best a stop-gap measure. Leading climate scientists already say that a two degrees celsius goal for 2100 is dead in the water and we're on course for 3.5C, the Paris climate agreement was hoping to reach 1.5C, which already would have been bad for the world and biodiversity, but manageable. At 3-3.5C in the next decades, we'd see massive extinction of flora and fauna all over the place, yearly heatwaves in even (historically, at that point) cold countries and big impact on crops and food production, even in temperate areas. Not even talking about severe weather, hurricanes, etc.. which will become a lot more common than they already are. It's realistic to assume that these things will attempted to be counteracted by technological advancements, but the costs will most likely be steep. Last figure I read said about 20% GDP of the entire world would most likely go towards compensating for the damages caused by climate change at that point. You can imagine what that'll do to the price of the eggs. But in all seriousness, countries in vulnerable regions might collapse at that point without external help. Literally Mad Max times. If you live in a western country, you'll most likely mostly be fine, but you won't have the luxuries and givens you don't even think about and have now.

I assume things like Solar Radiation Modification (which for those not in the know, means artifical cooling of the planet by e.g. spraying reflective aerosols into the uper stratosphere so that the heat coming from the sun will be reflected back into space) Marine cloud brightening etc. are the most likely measures that will be taken. They might not even be that expensive and guranteed cheaper than just riding it out and swallowing the costs of the damages.

It's not entirely hopeless but nobody really knows what will happen or what effects this geoengineering could have in turn, as all this is highly theoretical (even controversial, for every study that proposes a method, there exists another study that says it won't work) and there's simply no real widespread experience with technologies like this, and as we all know politicans don't exactly care much about solving things that will come up after they're gone, so you can assume a lot of this stuff will be attempted last minute and in a panicked, rushed way, when it's basically too late and most of the damage is already done.

I think the non-techbro billionaires already have accepted that there won't be much after them most likely (which explains weird things like bezos clock, and yes amazon I am aware but the dude doesn't strike me as member of the techbro culture per se) while some of the techbros probably imagine these problems to be solved by AI. They might. Who knows. Fact is that most of them already either have land squared away in areas of the world that will be the least impacted by climate change, or do things like buying up massive amounts of farm land, like Bill Gates. He is, in fact, the biggest land owner in the US. Never let a profitable catastrophe go to waste, I guess.
 
While researching for the DOGE thread, I discovered Brian Bjelde, a key ally of Elon Musk. Bjelde previously handled HR at SpaceX and was responsible for cutting 80% of Twitter’s workforce.

A strange parody video of women who spank his ass is said to exist. Could not find the video.

This thread is unique. We have a raging autist, a billionaire elite, self proclaimed expert politician and tech bro all in one. Best off all we can shit on him all we want.
Just make sure to whip you ass, lest the shit smears your surroundings.
Bar the poetic, what I'm trying to say is that there is a time to shit and a time to cook. Don't cook your shit.

Tells you how much he actually cares and understands, people obsessed over time for reasons like sailing ships or planting crops - if he was actually human, he would know.
If most people can't tell the current year via astronomy (I can't), they wont care about his time-tabernacle either. And the people who always did care, pointed to the stars and had that shit inscribed in their giant ass mega-structures, so that others know when and where they were and how far they've come - or rather, didn't come. I would hope, that without screens and distractions, more people would just stargaze moar 🌈 instead of staring at le bezos clock.

I like the idea of putting gigantic mirrors in space at such a distance that they don't cast discrete shadows, but globally reduce radiation.

Musk not going for the space mirrors also shows how superficial and performative his futurism is.
It would be a perfect fit for his professed values, though not for his demonstrated ones.

Something to keep in mind when looking at things from a US perspective is that significant economies like the EU and China pursue green energy as a matter of national security and economic (which implies social) stability, since neither place has the fossil fuel deposits required to power their economies.
IMO this means that the US government choosing to destroy the biosphere for short term profit is even worse than it looks, since it is taking place in a context where direct competitors undertake great effort to replace fossil fuels with green alternatives.

I think early on Musk surrounded himself with some very smart people and repeated what they they told to him. This made him very successful and also popular and he ended up buying into his own hype and probably pushed these people away or at least started believing he genuinely knows better than them. Also drug use. I think that explains a lot of the Musk we see now vs. the Musk we saw ~15 years ago. I think most of the time, he genuinely has no idea what he's talking about or only has a very superficial understanding. Internal decisions in the ventures he's involved in are probably balanced by how well the people under him know how to kiss his ass.

EU and China
China is world leader in electricity production from renewable energies. They're building a record amount of wind and solar energy plants right now. Alone last year, they put up about 360 Gigawatts of renewable energy plants. To get a comprehension for what a big number that is, your average american nuclear power plant block puts out 1 Gigawatt of energy. China's total energy output is now 56% renewable energies. For the EU the numbers are similar and last year about 50% of EUs energy was created by renewable energy sources. For the US, it is about 20% and probably falling in the next years. In all this, you also always need to remember that China also does not give a shit about polluting and destroying the enviroment and has no moral qualms about it. If a country like China pivots this hard to renewable energies, it should give some people a hint that it's not some "woke green liberal agenda brainrot". This is purely strategic and economic. Putting all your cards on fossil fuels this late in the game where everyone moves away from them might be profitable in the now but is very shortsighted, not even only ecologically (also yes, also ecologically as we established that climate change is very expensive)

If I were president I would work on getting more nuclear fission plants working and start a Manhatten Project type effort to get functional, working nuclear fusion plants going. The amount of money it would take to fund is less than a drop in the bucket as far as spending by the federal government goes.

Fusion power would be absolutely bad ass. Basically unlimited clean energy that could then be used to fuel carbon capture efforts. Even if those efforts are energy inefficient, who cares? We'd have cheap, clean energy

lol what a fat fuck, just like Elon
 
I'm impressed with Elon. He took an off-the-wall action as a way of subliminally declaring his LOTY candidacy and is now keeping things on a simmer for the closing months of the year.
