Shevat thought Sacks seemed bored — he spent most of the meeting checking his phone. “He didn’t want to understand anything,” Shevat says. It made him want to cry, especially since he had actually been eager to work with Musk. “I would have worked really hard for him,” he says.

Most of that piece is the usual self-important Si Valley puffery over a silly damn platform..this is why those guys are unfit for any reality outside the web. DU/pubmed/physics stack exchange/a few journal and magazine aside and a few uni etc websites, the web is all humbug..bah
Those lamebrains in Si Valley..”democritization” is it? I will give them some “democritization” and see how they like it..

I never thought much of Twitter so whatever, but what is scary is this time it is the federal govt. I reread that article in 2025 and thought the timeline in it now probably roughly applies to all the US govt and with cascading goddamn effects worldwide. Is Nist even there?
