People hated him because he spoke the truth.

What is wrong with you?

I assume the vast majority.

Musk would benefit hy increased interest in Starlink as the ‘safer’ option.

Putin benefits from causing chaos.

Musk and Putin have been in contact for the last couple of years.

So yeah, it probably is to benefit Starlink.

Yes, but actually no.

I’m not saying apple will do anything about it, just that they will let the cops know what is causing the reboots if asked.

The police could just ask Apple, it isn’t like they are going to have some secret reboot process that they would hide from the police.

That is the politicians. The voting base hasn’t changed.

The ones that learned nothing from his first term won’t be learning anything from his second.

Well, their products have been going downhill so I suspect that 25% was AI genersted and then their QA is less effective because there are no devs doing unit testing.

Selling AI as a solution for everything is absolutely a lie. Modern snake oil in nearly all the public facing uses.

There are a lot of good uses for AI in science and entertainment as a way to enhance work being done by humans. Pattern recognition for lidsr in finding kist civilizations. Finding exoplanets. Finding new compoubds for medicine and manufacturing.

Hell, there is even some usage for some personal things and LLMs are great at addressing certain people’s hesitation when interacting with computers. But like the prior examples, it can’t solve anything on its own. It must be controlled and thigs like search engines and processing job applications are terrible uses for AI when humans are having trouble doing that thing already.

AI only works for technical work that requires precision when it is doing something humans were already good at. It can do a lot of those things faster, but has to be babysat if the output matters.

It’s not outside capital that leads to enshittification, it’s leverage that enshittifies a service.

Technically more precise, but for companies the leverage doesn’t really exist without the outside capital. Musk taking over twitter was the use of capital to get the leverage.

I can’t think of any business where the owner did a 180 without catering to outside capital or the company being bought out by outside capital.

That out of the way, FSD sucks, and it’s getting worse, not better. When if first come out of beta it was okay. I remember describing it as driving with a teenager, they got the general idea, but would make bad decisions so you had to watch them. Years of updates later and it’s practically unusable to me. It tries to go way under or over the speed limit, it hesitates or slams on the brakes for green lights. It slams on the brakes for cars that pull out with plenty of gap but doesn’t even notice the risky merges. It can not seem to navigate intersections anymore, damn near stopping in the middle of a turn. It actually just updated yesterday and I tried it again, it took me less than 5 miles to disable it again. It is, in my opinion, a hazard to use. I talked to my partner about it and we both agree it didn’t used to be this bad.

Sounds like it still drives like a teenager!

Which of course is terrible since it should be improving over time.

Elon says a lot of things and they are all bullshit.

The ability to comprehend and make use of knowledge based on changing contexts. An algorithm doesn’t have the ability to understand why it is doing what it does, nor does it have a way to apply itself outside of a predefined context.

AI means Artificial Intelligence.

It means Alpaca Insurance!

Also, that is an algorithm and not intelligence. Logic isn’t the same thing as intelligence.

If the cybertruck is so safe in crashes they would be begging third parties to test it so they could smugly lord their 3rd party verified crash test data over everyone else.

Bu they don’t because they know it would be a repeat of smashing the bulletproof window on stage.

“Same as the worst human driver” is a clear statement that humans aren’t perfect…

If it had braked and just couldn’t stop it would be comparable to a person. Continuing at full speed into a solid object on the road is the same as the worst human driver.

If it wasn’t limited to only cameras because Musk is an arrogant jackass then the lidar/rader/other non-camera sensor would have sensed the deer being an object even if the camera didn’t recognize it.
