I’m using EMX more than Bluesky, consciously — realizing it was a mistake to move my social web act over there. There’s no discourse to keep me there so I’m giving it less of my bandwidth.

I tried an experiment today, Paul Graham, a big tech influencer on EMX said all the Tesla haters were seemed to be gone, so I chimed in that I am one, and have just returned. I wanted to see what would happen. Yeah I got trolled. Won’t be doing that again.

hate == love + betrayed. You can’t hate something you don’t also love. If you go back before last year’s election, I was borderline about Musk, happy to loved the car without thinking of him every damn time I drove it. Maybe I should start writing about it again. I promise it will be a very different story.

Also EMX is what I’m calling Elon Musk’s X. I think calling it Twitter now is not right. But I don’t see X as the name of a service or product. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but most good names have 2-4 syllables with 3 generally thought to be ideal. Look around you, see how things are named. That imho is why we like Claude better than ChatGPT.
