Why did the AI generate picture Elon with butt hole eyes?

 

Also the quote in question from Elon is pretty funny:

"unworkable requirements" You mean shit like meeting automotive industry safety standards? Who wants to be tied down to shit like that? Oh you know companies that actually DO take on liability for the performance/results/behaviors of their vehicles. Not like Elon would know anything about that.

Yeah, there's really no other way to read that, is there?  Fucking funny as hell.

"These assholes insist that our FSD system 'not steer cars into oncoming traffic,' and 'not run over and kill pedestrians in crosswalks,' and all kinds of overly burdensome regulatory-sounding bullshit.  We are a freedom company!"

I seriously have no idea what the fuck Elon Musk is thinking with this functionality? In no way does this help him achieve anything he wants to achieve.

He was just at the white house last week. They're not beefing anymore, and he knows which side his bread is buttered.

It is odd how many people on his side of things have been exposed.  I’m really surprised he added it.   It’s also impacting a lot of influencers who were exposed as being something else and somewhere else.  That can’t help with advertising.  

 

 

Maybe this is just the "Cocaine Ketamine is a hell of a drug" moment?

Elon's grasp of reality continues to slip and he does incredibly dumb things. "This feature will be great!" <staff implements it> "Oh CRAP!!!" <it's pulled> <its back up> "It's broken a little!"

In the end, keep up the stupid Elon, I'm sure something is going to eventually work.

I dealt with Big 3 US Auto for a short while, trying to get them to adapt a green alternative/hybrid approach.  They are quite entrenched in what's working and making them money, for good reason.  The barriers they put up regarding adoption of new technology are significant and intractable for most suppliers.

Plus, FSD clearly sucks.

Every time I think, "Hey maybe I should consider a Tesla in my auto search..." I come back to this thread.  

Stream of consciousness after catching up....

  • Nope.  Scratch Tesla off the list.  Why do I have that stupid thought?
  • what was done to USAID is criminal
  • Confederacy of Dunces is wonderful on audiobook.
  • abebooks.com is a good resource for used books - you can often find books for under $4, shipping included.  In some cases, those books are sourced by Half Price Books, but you could not pay $4 to get them in store :/
  • I am not sure why Elmo keeps touting FSD, especially with the obvious successes of Waymo and Zoox.  Aptiv (nee Delco), Mercedes Benz, etc. are also developing autonomous technology.  Elmo keeps talking about it and delivering garbage.  Tesla's FSD sucks.  Waymo seems to be doing fine with it.

Why? Because he turns shit like that into $1T pay packages.

Finished it the other week. Narrator somehow nailed how I always hear Ignatius is my head.

Ha. I have not yet. It's hard during the holidays with an 8 year old running around. It took me about 4-5 days to watch One Battle After The Other last week. Sigh. 

It's a great pick for family holiday viewing
