  • If you ask Tesla drivers, they often purchased the car because someone told them Teslas are safe, despite them being the statistically most lethal car you could drive in America.

    We live in a dystopian information environment.

  • Wow, that's crazy -- I thought they impartially reviewed the federal government and determined that all the waste was coming from the 10-person autonomous safety office at the NHTSA, and whoever does the science to make sure rockets don't poison us all at the FAA.

  • I've also noticed that.

    Intrinsic to the tech, I think. It's not that it gets worse, it just gets different (intentionally, as a feature).

    The teams that ensure "different" trends in the direction of "better," those teams are universally very new at their jobs and at the technology.

    So, serious organizations are figuring out how to test and deploy consistently better AIs. I don't think Elon Musk runs a single serious organization, other than arguably SpaceX.

  • Not normal in Chicago, either.

    It's just janky Tesla stuff. You can see a Waymo negotiates the turn into the parking lot just fine.

  • Buckle the fuck up, my friend XD

    You haven't seen the end. You haven't even seen the middle.

    With OpenAI's reasoning models, you maybe saw the end of the beginning.

  • The Hobbit.

    Sing the songs, too

  • Yamazak is A+, stupid fine

  • I'm sure this is the USP that will restore sales in Canada!

  • I got banned from Twitter for saying the word "cisgendered."

    So they DO know how to build limitations into the software! They've just done it in a fucked up, dystopian way :)

    Edit: LOL I asked Grok... Cisgendered is filtered as a supposed slur, while both the R word for the mentally disabled and the hard R word for the pallor-impaired, neither of those words are filtered as slurs.

  • Unfortunately, you've been replaced by AI.

    ... so, the Cybertruck will blow itself up.

  • There's a lot going on in there. None of it good.

  • As I typed it I read it and I was like "do I shoot my shot and make the joke?" and I had a rare moment of self-restraint

    But Grok would be like "you had me at 𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫"

  • I'm... very sad at how germane that question is in 2025.

  • Us embracing that

  • That's the rub. Sometimes you don't know the utility of a tool until you build it. The future is weird that way.

    Who would have thought WHAT people would chat with ChatGPT about? Like, romance? WTF? That's strange, call it emergent behavior, the final utility was unexpected.

    In my head, I anticipate the tool going down the track of voice assistants from the pre-AI phase, so just like Alexa for directions or simple searches, but local to the car. Maybe unintended utilities will arise? If it can do directions and music and web searches, I guess, we don't really know what other utilities drivers will find for it yet?

  • I respect your take :)

  • I was about to say, that might make the car safer on net!

    Less compute means less bandwidth to hallucinate demons in front of you on a totally unobstructed straightaway.

  • (Getting downvoted... OK :) My definition of "mildly interesting" feature may be unpopular.)

    They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.

    Plus, the Chinese ones get to wear funny hats! Here is one dressed up as
