  • *Now* you fuckers are all about IP laws…

    If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny. After spending years indiscriminately ripping off other people’s work — and getting sued for copyright infringement left and right — OpenAI is sobbing that the buzzy Chinese AI startup DeepSeek did the same thing on its AI that it built on all that pilfered content.

  • I wonder if this is the tech that is generating 25% of the new code at Google

    On the tail of a the preposterous claim by Pichai yesterday: As The New York Times first reported, the family of 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III filed a lawsuit against Character.AI last week alleging that the platform is pushing “dangerous and untested” technology. Google, which earlier this year inked a deal to the tune of $2.7 billion to license Character.AI’s…

  • A Tesla is an appreciating asset…. ?

    “Buying a car today is an investment into the future. I think the most profound thing is that if you buy a Tesla today, I believe you are buying an appreciating asset – not a depreciating asset.” https://electrek.co/2019/04/12/tesla-vehicles-appreciating-assets-self-driving-elon-musk/ If you fell for that line in 2019 you’re as dumb as bricks… if you fell for…

  • Elon Musk Admits That Teslas With “Self-Driving” Computers May Never Be Able to Actually Self-Drive

    Well *fuck me* what a surprise: “There is some chance that HW3 does not achieve the safety level that allows for unsupervised FSD,” he added. Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out…

  • You Can’t Make Friends With The Rockstars

    I wish I could write like Edward Zitron… he fucking nails it. https://www.wheresyoured.at/rockstars/

  • This AI Pioneer Thinks AI Is Dumber Than a Cat

    At the same time, he is convinced that today’s AIs aren’t, in any meaningful sense, intelligent—and that many others in the field, especially at AI startups, are ready to extrapolate its recent development in ways that he finds ridiculous. If LeCun’s views are right, it spells trouble for some of today’s hottest startups, not to…

  • Meat(al) Puppets

    During the event, Musk presented the Optimus robot as little more than your personal slave. “Whatever you can think of, it will do,” he told his adoring followers as they shouted how much they loved the fascist billionaire. Rows of Tesla employees flanked a line of Optimus robots ready to engage with the gullible cult members,…

  • Mark Zuckerberg’s rebrand is a master class in distraction

    Mark Zuckerberg has changed, but not in the way the narratives disseminated by his PR team suggest. He is not done with politics; he’s simply adopting a more right-wing worldview that’s more aligned with his interests and that he hopes will lessen the scrutiny applied to his company. But more than anything, he’s decided he…

  • Elon Musk celebrates winning lawsuit over Tesla self-driving claims with embarrassing defense

    A legally adjudicated bullshitter… Let’s be clear on what Musk is celebrating here: he is celebrating a judge siding with his lawyers, who argued that his misleading statements regarding Tesla’s self-driving effort were simple “corporate puffery” and not “actionable material misrepresentations.” https://electrek.co/2024/10/02/elon-musk-celebrates-winning-lawsuit-tesla-self-driving-claims-embarrassing-defense/
