Probably worried about DOGE trying to cut MSFT out of government contracts/services.

my buddy thinks it's a pressure play on Altman, since grok is also now hosted on azure via its LLM marketplace - the only place you can get your own personal "grok"

a buddy of mine at azure just sent me this with "WTF??". Why is Microsoft platforming musk at their developer conference? None of their developers are happy to see him or want his advice in building technology

 

Nadella is a weirdo.

Last night I saw about 15 or so very bright (as in as bright as the brightest star) satellites move in a line, one after another. Started just above the NW horizon, got brighter, then faded out before they got overhead. Each one was visible for maybe 5 minutes total. There would be three or four in the sky at a time. Probably lasted 20 or 30 minutes. They all followed the same track. 

Am I seeing Starlink satellites fucking up the night sky?

 

How's your cornhole feeling this morning?

“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” an anonymous GOP operative told Politico. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old… It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”

At ABIA, just boarded our flight to Mexico. While we were waiting to board  the PA announcer comes on and in his most sarcastic Texas drawl says ...

"Attention passengers on the terminal, we need the owner of the Tesla Cybertruck who left their vehicle parked sideways across two departure dropoff lanes to return to the vehicle before it is towed".

That may be the most 'Cybertruck driver' thing ever.

Before it’s towed or before it explodes?

Saw one loading their groceries in a packed HEB parking lot on Sunday. Instead of having their cart behind their car like a normal fucking person she had it sitting in the empty spot next to her so nobody could park there.

Poor Dave died inside his Tesla.

Poor Dave has never read his user manual.  There are no rear emergency door releases for Model 3 up through model year 2023.  The emergency egress from the vehicle is through the front doors, which have easy to locate and operate emergency releases.

Dave was confused. He was in the back seat. So he died.

I've heard they started last week, but lots of rumors

Elon Musk confirms Tesla plan for robotaxis on Austin roads in June

  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk said robotaxis will be on the streets of Austin, Texas, by the end of June.
  • Musk spoke in an interview with CNBC's David Faber.
  • Musk also said he was committed to leading the automaker for the next five years.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the company will have robotaxis on the streets of Austin, Texas, by the end of June.

In an interview with CNBC's David Faber on Tuesday at the company's headquarters in Austin, Musk said Tesla aims to bring its robotaxis to Los Angeles and San Francisco following the planned Austin debut.

Musk said a Tesla robotaxi service will start with about 10 vehicles in Austin, and rapidly expand to thousands of vehicles should the launch go well with no incidents.

Since 2016, Musk has been promising Tesla investors, customers and fans that the company is about a year away from delivering a self-driving car that's capable of transporting passengers safely without human interventions, or a human at the steering wheel. However, Tesla does not yet offer a vehicle safe to use without human supervision.

"It's prudent for us to start with a small number, confirm that things are going well and then scale it up," Musk said.

To start, Tesla has said its robotaxis will be Model Y vehicles equipped with a forthcoming version of FSD, or full self-driving, known as FSD Unsupervised.

Musk said Tesla "will geofence" its robotaxis in Austin to start, meaning the company will limit where those Model Y vehicles can drive. But there won't be a human safety driver in the cars, Musk promised.

Tesla employees will be remotely monitoring the fleet, he said.

"We'll be watching what the cars are doing very carefully and as confidence grows, less of that will be needed," Musk said.

Musk has previously claimed Tesla's "generalized" approach to robotaxis is more ambitious than Waymo's. Tesla relies on camera-based systems and computer vision primarily instead of using sophisticated sensors including lidar and radar in its vehicles.

Musk has said those sensors were expensive and could impede high-volume robotaxi production and scaling of a global fleet.

"What will actually work best for the road system is artificial intelligence, digital neural nets and cameras," Musk said Tuesday.

 

 

From last week:

US agency sends Tesla questions about Austin robotaxi plan

According to the NHTSA’s letter sent on May 8, the agency requested certain information from Tesla regarding its development of driving automation technologies.

“As you are aware, NHTSA has an ongoing defect investigation (PE24031) into FSD collisions in reduced roadway visibility conditions,” the letter read.

Some auto-driving expert pointed out that's a huge red flag. Are workers in some command center supposed to be driving or instructor-driving robotaxis? Very dangerous and not how things are done.

Also someone from Waymo announced the score today. Number of paid, self-driving rides: Waymo 10,000,000 - Tesla 0.0
