Super Switch would be fun. 

A battery replacement in maybe another 100,000 miles. 

“SpaceX has been overcharging the US Government for its launch services.” LMAO what? SpaceX has been orders of magnitude cheaper on a per-kilogram basis than NASAs own launches, and has been for nearly a decade now. SpaceX has saved the taxpayers huge amounts of money. 

Corroborating, contemporaneous witness testimony. Her telling friends what happened immediately afterwards, that sort of thing. Also, that she was fired right after this incident is telling.

Yes, making goods and services cheaper is good, actually. People find other, more productive uses for their lives, instead of spending all day grinding corn or hand-assembling cars. 

AI is just a tool. Might as well have posted this screed about the steam engine coming for all those good horse-related jobs.

Zucks been married to the same woman for a while now. He doesn’t have a very good public persona but that doesn’t mean he isn’t normal in person off-camera; I don’t know the guy so it’s impossible to say.
