alt Hacker NewsI didn't read the linked article because it's paywalled but I was able to find relevant information on multiple other websites. So RPi stock went up ~40% because of a twitter post saying RPis can run OpenClaw and are cheaper than Apple hardware? None of that makes any sense to me. Are people really that stupid?

The past decade has led to the scales falling from my eyes as I come to understand just how incredibly stupid and short-sighted people are.
Even worse, there is a direct correlation between the most stubborn people being the most short-sighted, as they refuse to change course no matter the cost.
> Are people really that stupid?
Donald Trump is President.
RFK Jr. is Secretary of Health and Human Services
Linda McMahon is Secretary of Education

Do you really have any doubts about the limits of stupidity? :-(
Yes. Most people have close to zero understanding of tech, and are instead very heavily influenced by what they hear and see online, on social etc. They won’t think too deeply about the detail and therefore will make false assumptions.
