@arstechnica yes. As was outlined well in the book Breaking Twitter Musk went from surrounding himself with best and brightest to yes men/women. Where engineering leads Musk companies still very good but where ego and delusion lead not so much. Think Howard Hughes. He went from using first principles to random ideas. Cyber truck good example. Lots of great real engineering with an idiotic body tacked on top which, much like Apple products, forces engineering to take back seat to design.

@arstechnica kaspersky can't say x or y is true because the Kremlin is engaged in what they term hybrid war against the West and do not have rule of law in any sense at all. I believe yandex aleeady had to yield control to the state which led to many of their ethical employees leaving the Russian empire once they realized they could not run the company freely. Believing Kaspersky, which has essentially root access to every system it runs on, can be used safely is the height of willful naivete.

@arstechnica I've told my EV curious friends for tears that it's F for Fraud Fisker. Car designers should not try to make car companies. Design is nice but it's not the car or the factory or the business. I can't believe anyone bought one of these with future failure so obvious from the start.

@arstechnica I'd say now it's time for the next bunch of college students to find a garage, and start building an actual search engine again, from the ground up. The space seems to be empty right now, so ripe for 'disruption' and 'innovion'. While Google remains marginally more useful for my needs than Bing, which has never gotten past, meh, or ddg, which I wish did it for me, but doesn't, just getting a true search company, no AI division to ruin SERPs, would be nice.
