"So while I firmly believe we're basically just overgrown biological computers, we're apparently computers programmed by batshit insane drunkards in Visual Basic 5."
It is correct that Starlink is not motivated to act for your benefit, any more than for this individual. Your interlocutor has long experience with such things. So do we, really; are Starlink's incentives aligned any different from AT&T's?
A few years back, AT&T took a half $billion from US taxpayers to build out fiber to rural neighborhoods. One comes to within 1/10 mi of my house. But they were not obliged to light any of it. They did not. That fiber sits dark, more than a decade on.
My first impression was that it might be serious (would sort of make sense for Radioshack to pivot), then I saw Tai Lopez listed on the team and assumed it was a joke.
But it appears to be "serious" (inasmuch as anything involving the anthropomorphic joke named Tai Lopez can be)
I work in the crypto space and am generally pretty bullish, but this is the biggest sell signal I've seen. I wonder if Tai took out a big short position and is now using his name to crash the market.
