He tries so hard to sound intelligent...
He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.
But he isn't...
You know nothing, Elon Musk!
ketamine is one hell of a drug
He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.
No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.
That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.
Now I want to see:
- a genius'es concept of an idiot
- an idiot's concept of an idiot
- a genius'es concept of a genius
- most of the cast of Arrested Development
- the movie: Idiocracy
- lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman
i'd nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses' genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn't crack.
Ah true I haven't heard of him! Love to hear about autodidact geniuses.
- I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
- Yup
- Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.
I think I just wanted to mention arrested development lol. It being a smart, well-written show about very dumb people
Hihi
This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice
I think that kid made the youtube channel "Engineering Made Easy"
It's a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of "Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR"
His understanding of bash is as good as his Path of Exile skills.
That's just inverse South African notation.
Emerald off the rails
This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case...
rm -rf * woke
If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.
So saying he woke woke?
Saying there's a virus in his mind about everything being woke
This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he's saying he at some point had the 'woke mind virus' and deleted it, or more likely he's saying this is what people need to do to 'free' themselves of the 'woke mind virus'.
You don't have to endorse it to understand it. I don't really understand Hazel's confusion.
The confusion is an affectation they're putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.
I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root, so he lobotomized himself.

I assumed that's what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.
He's saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.
Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.
Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this
The commands wouldn't work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But.. They don't need to if you're just sending a message.
127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.
rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.
The commands, when put together, would look something like this:
traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)
The virus has been located at localhost (internally)
rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus
Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.
In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.
Tell me I'm crazy.
Didn't the woke virus delete /usr/bin/rm ?
Although rm might be a builtin, I didnt check.
❯ which rm
/usr/bin/rm
Ah, no, apparently it isn't.
It's such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:
He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.
This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.
He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2
Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory
I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐
Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he's also a fake poser of a programmer

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root
The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.
Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.
It would remove the Latin language packas well because its specifying the --no-preserve-root flag.
Actually I'd worry that it might purge language all the way back to Indo-European, but if it means getting rid of French, its a risk I'm willing to take.
Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.
Please.
If I wanted to read Musk, I'd follow him.
If I wanted to see someone's tweets all day, I'd be Twitter instead of Lemmy.
I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.
Thanks.

He's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".
