Alpha at 1.25x speed explains a lot.
CORY DOCTOROW: Yeah, indeed. Musk replied, , "Well, I've read his classic Culture novel series, and there are no trade unions there." And I said, "Yes, but it takes place in a far future where you have giant spaceships with a trillion people on them traveling at a thousand times the speed of light, controlled by artificial intelligences with many millions of times the capacity of human beings." And he said, "Well, I have very advanced factories to make my Teslas." And I said, "There is an enormous difference between the world imagined by lain Banks and the process of eking out very tiny gains in the efficiency of making electric vehicles." And he called me an "enemy of humanity" and blocked me. So, that was my only experience with him. But, you know, like innumerable tech bros, he has mistaken cyberpunk for a suggestion rather than a warning. As someone who is in the business of writing a lot of warnings, I find this baffling and, indeed, very demoralizing.
