Musk being in the visionary category is so loud I could barely see Linus.

Tesla wasn't founded by Musk. He bought his way in and took over as CEO

Neither visionary nor a founder.

Hey, atleast they got the asshole part correct

Unhinged rant for your entertainment: Woz was the visionary in that he designed all the early Apple computers and made the technical innovations that made Apple a company in the first place. Jobs was a vibes giver that made demands, not products. I fucking hate people who call people in tech who did almost none of the engineering the "visionaries" behind the brand. Like, no, any idiot can make something look pretty and marketable, unless that same idiot made it actually work they didn't do shit. And he inspired an entire generation of "entrepeneurs" who think their one page "idea" (which god forbid you ever need to ask them to clarify any details on) makes them smarter and superior to the workers who produced hundreds of thousands of pages of planning and prototyping, engineering drawings, code, etc etc, and did the actual QA testing to ensure they weren't shipping sleek looking paperweights. And yet they talk down to those workers and demand they worship them. YOU should be worshipping the people who actually turned your prized idea from useless words and vibes to a real product you can actually sell, they made YOUR dream come true. Jobs should be the kind of people AI replaces, yet it's people like Woz that are losing their jobs.

Wouldn't the quiet geek engineer be Richard Stallman?

[–] lonesomeCat@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

That'd be GNU

Would anyone call Stallman quiet?

[–] tehWrapper@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Someone would like to talk to you about GNU/Linux

Sad Bill Atkinson noises

Linus - GOAT

[–] lolo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Is this referring to his…ketamine visions? And I guess his disgusting sperm has been found in the womb of every third woman he’s ever met, or not met, just solicited online. Is that what we’re meaning by “visionary founder”? Cause otherwise I’m at a total fucking loss as to why this nazi pig is in this meme.

Brief interview summary of Martin Eberhard who was one of the actual co-founders of Tesla. Stay to the end for his take on AI (which I assume wrote the summary)

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Hmm. 'Stylish' isn't a word I'd use to describe Linus. He's not very 'quiet' either.

I wouldnt put him in the same cunt league as Musk though.
