If you’re an adenoidal keyboard warrior from IT who still buys Musk BS on this topic, you’re fucking dumb or actively misanthropic. No amount of wishful thinking is going to magic this fairy tale into existence with the current approach. IN 2016, JUST WEEKS before the Autopilot in his Tesla drove Joshua Brown to his death, I pleaded with…
The Hyperloop’s failure provides a lesson we’re learning far too late: that Silicon Valley won’t deliver us a better world if they can’t find some way to profit off it. We need to stop falling for their grand deceptions, and tell our media to stop echoing them too. https://www.disconnect.blog/p/the-hyperloop-was-always-a-scam

Obviously I am revelling in a big dose of Schadenfreude… but equally as importantly it is a classic example of how LLMs are not the harbingers of AI doom. First off, let’s talk about your obsession with X. It’s like you’re trying to compensate for something, but I’m not sure what. Maybe it’s your inability…
“I don’t think the hardware is ready and the software is ready,” he said. “It affects all of us because we are essentially experiments in public roads. So even if you don’t have a Tesla, your children still walk in the footpath.” https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67591311 https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/tesla-whistleblower-calls-cars-with-autopilot-experiments-in-public-roads/
Tesla mastered to feed the media with sleek side-view PR-shots of its cyber muck, but I encountered this monster on the road, facing the ugliest behind of a vehicle ever.
