WTAF do you want to do with those of us whose brains are wired a little differently from yours? Put us in a home of weird kids?

Um, there is something called "masking". Level 1 autistics usually learn how to do that when quite young. Especially the smart ones. Some of my earliest memories have to do with that issue.

But, my parents weren't and still aren't wealthy. They couldn't force others to conform to my strangeness. Elon was different.

If you are a tiny minority, it takes a great deal of arrogance to expect the vast majority to cater to your differences. Musk has arrogance in spades.

Even if he were the greatest engineer in history, that doesn't give him any credentials for trying to reshape our country into an autocracy.

Inode,
"Unchecked"???? WTAF do you want to do with those of us whose brains are wired a little differently from yours? Put us in a home of weird kids?
Calm down, you idiot. I don't want to put anyone in a "home of weird kids."

All I'm saying is that we shouldn't accept Thiel at his word simply because he's rich and on "your side" politically.

When I say that Thiel is left unchecked, I'm saying that his crazy-ass views regarding the Antichrist are being legitimized without any ideological or theological pushback.

You wouldn't accept Bill Gates saying the exact same thing, would you?

Musk understands how to do engineering on a level you'll never comprehend.
No he doesn't ...

For a guy who is supposedly so "smart," he makes managerial decisions on the level of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss:

Hey Inode, since you fear for the well-being of the neurodiverse, I thought you might be interested in this DEI initiative from Palantir (who flat out says that this is NOT a "diversity initiative," LOL ...)

*******

Palantir Technologies - Neurodivergent Fellowship (Jobs by Lever)

Neurodivergent individuals will play a disproportionate role in shaping the future of America and the West. They see past performative ideologies and perceive beauty in the world that still exists — which technology and art can expose.

The current LLM tech landscape positions them to dominate. Pattern recognition. Non-linear thinking. Hyperfocus. The cognitive traits that make the neurodivergent different are precisely what make them exceptional in an AI-driven world.

Palantir is launching the Neurodivergent Fellowship as a recruitment pathway for exceptional neurodivergent talent. This is not a diversity initiative. We believe neurodivergent individuals will have a competitive advantage as elite builders of the next technological era, and we're hiring accordingly for all roles.

This program is designed for those who think differently, and that's the point. Whether you're self-taught, formally educated, or somewhere in between, we're looking for builders who can see patterns others miss and solutions others overlook.

*******

No word yet on what these "neurodivergent" individuals will do, but maybe they can work for DOGE while at the same time topping the player charts on Path of Exile 2 ...
