No, don’t you see, in an impossible hypothetical situation, they assume you’d do something against your stated values. You’ve been pwned by a person of logic and intellect, I’m afraid. I’m sorry, but you agree with them now.

Libertarianism is a theory espoused to those with good intentions by people that have bad intentions.

It doesn’t work for almost anyone. But it super works for some. That’s the point.

It is infinitely remappable. To anything you can program in with a Shortcut, which is a ton of non-trivial stuff. Which they said explicitly.

So many people in this thread saying “who cares it’s just a button” without having any idea what it actually does.

Want the mute switch behavior? Well that’s the default thing the button does and you can use it without looking at it.

Want to program the button to do like literally anything? You can do that. For example:

  • Launch the camera app, or any other app
  • Control your smart home accessories
  • Toggle Do Not Disturb, or another focus mode
  • Run a command on a remote server via ssh
  • Start recording audio in case you’re around cops doing cop stuff
  • Or anything else you can program in with a Shortcut

Elon is a shithead, but that does not make SLS a good rocket.

The best moment of this best moment is the split second where he reads his line off of the prompt, cannot believe what he is about to say, and then goes ahead and says it in the best way humanly possible. And that’s the take they used.

And when you trap a xenon inside a C60 cage and start stuffing other things in there, the chemistry gets really weird.
