    I like to file anything that Musk says in the round mesh filing cabinet.

    Full self driving by when?

    Hyperloop easy

    “It’s not that hard”

    There’s a lot of smart and hardworking people at his companies for sure, but that guy Peter Molyneuxs their good efforts.

      “smart and hardworking people” aside, the normalization and dismissal of these statements as just marketing or otherwise harmless fibs has enabled a consistent escalation of scope and affect. Design shortcuts that Tesla has made have resulted in actual death and injury, and claiming that the cars have agi even in a rudimentary sense is astonishing.

        literally my first thought: “oh, so he wants to try blame the deaths on a wee little machine intelligence that oopsie just didn’t know any better?”

        (because he would spin that narrative if he thought he could get away with it)

      crucially, Peter has never had to cover up for any deaths caused by Fable

    So the cars are running people over and drifting between lanes on purpose? I suppose if I woke up and realised I was a Tesla car, I’d develop homicidal impulses too.

    hey I didn’t expect this to have to be a warning, but to the folks in the cheap seats: telling a TechTakes poster to not have takes on tech is both annoying as fuck and a fast way to catch a ban

    “How can I run over more children and catch fire?” is the AGI’s sole thought.

    What, have they learnt how to knock down children intentionally, instead of just because of gross negligence?

    That’s why we are tracking the effort really closely and see if there’s any chance Tesla can make Musk’s prediction true with just a few months left in the year.

    that ark from SG: Ark Of Truth? I don’t think I’d hesitate using it. I realize they all got swindled, but it still blows my mind that there are people out there even halfway believing this shit (in every form of the lie)

    Well the good news is Musk said it, so you can be confident it’s a half truth at best.

    Realistically, this is a half witted attempt at marketing

      Realistically this is a hyperbolic liar completely disconnected from reality spewing said hyperbolic lies into the public sphere, unfortunately to a somehow still receptive audience.
