Watching Jurassic Park, where a computer nerd with a debt problem and delusions of grandeur tears down all the safety systems, with no understanding of the consequences, so he can better facilitate his planned espionage and theft.

Musk is a sociopathic, racist oligarch, who turned his dad's ill-gotten fortune into a larger ill-gotten fortune. Please don't call him a computer nerd. Some of us earned that title. All he has ever done on a computer is fraud. He can't even play video games honestly, let alone program something.

Do you know who we can talk to in order to get some Velociraptors for the White House petting zoo? Or set them free on the WH grounds and tell Donnie Jr it’s a canned hunt for a real endangered species. I hear they’re clever girls!

Musk's a "fan" of whatever bit of pop culture it seems other people are fans of. i bet he even spent a week or so pretending to really love Morbius until someone told him it was a joke.

Was that the movie in which a hubris-driven billionaire who thinks he understands science better than he does spares no expense in bringing back a class of predators from the dustbin of history to help him achieve greatness because he mistakenly thinks he can control them?

Like so many things about JP, Nedry is reduced to a lazy cliche in the movie incarnation. He’s a far more interesting character in the book. A bad actor, yes; but importantly he represents *Hammond*’s poor choices and unpleasant nature as an employer.

If anything he’s more like the unknown Tesla engineer who helped design a car that traps its occupants to burn alive in a crash, because their boss said they couldn’t have physical door handles.

Again, sadly Hammond survives in the movie, whereas Nedry doesn’t. In the book however he gets his just desserts eventually: eaten alive by tiny chicken-sized procompsognathuses.

When the corp. lawyer was eaten by T. Rex, people cheered in the theaters. There's a new T Rex in town. 🟧 👑 He's deranged & out of control. He schemes & lies constantly. He'll run you down-just to tear you apart. He's controlled by vile urges. He IS CLOSER than you think. Outsmart the 🟧 monster‼️

Interesting the same - 'nerd gone bad' theme presents in Geostorm, apart from the shitstain Musk, in his yet to be released mini series "Spingtime for Elon". I wonder if there other examples of the 'Nerd gone Bad' genre in cinema?

You must be talking about the president. Oh no, that’s right it was a movie. But he is doing exactly the same thing sadly and when you find that out, it’s going to be too late if it isn’t already.

In the book, they make it very that the dude had employees he had to pay for work Ingen decided to stiff him on, then blackmail him to get finished anyway.

It's even funnier to me in light of the book, where Nedry's debt problems were the direct result of InGen seriously screwing him and his developers over

Nedry built in a backdoor that could be accessed with a single sixteen-letter command. Tesla does their OTA updates by pulling a script over HTTP no S and immediately running it with sudo.

To be fair, when that movie came out, the more complex a private computer system = more likely there was "one guy" who was the reason it kept working (even if that same guy didn't realize it). Arguably still true today to some degree. 🙃 (*not necessarily "flawless", but appear that way to others)

There are outdated systems where the knowledge consolidated into one guy who maintains it all, lol. He becomes indispensable,  since no one else knows how to manage it. I heard stories like that on Quora. They called it, Guaranteed Job assurance, lol.
