Serious question: With a gutted SEC, a corrupt supreme court and a Presidential pardon presumably in the wings, what’s stopping Tesla from just lying like all fuck on their quarterly reports?
US securities fraud was rampant at the best of times. Now, I have not the words to describe what is being done.

The American biologist E.O.Wilson posited a variation of the 80/20 rule that is a hallmark of environmental science.
“Conserving 50% of the land will preserve 80% of the species.”
30 is good, but it’s not enough. Not nearly enough.
He has no mind. He has no scruples. He has no honour or integrity. He is bound by no checks and balances, no competent court or rule of law.
There are no negotiations to be had. No deal will be honored. No system to appeal to. You could not be more correct. Don’t bother answering the phone. Don’t bother signing anything. Don’t bother leadership meetings. Send the b team on a salvage operation but conceed nothing.
Find better trade partners.
Trump, his techbro and oiligarch backers etc.
Trump: To defeat jina, we must become jina.
While Air B&B has done irreperable harm to the housing market, I’m not 100% convinced it should be banned. I propose if a house operates as an enterprise, it be taxed according to commercial rates, not residential. It would go a long way to resolving the inequities.
Canadian goes down to selfishly support the economy of a country threatening annexation, who is famous for illegal and immoral detention, imprisonment and deportation to 3rd party country’s prisons, may get pickedup by ICE themself.
“I never thought they would do this to me” fits pretty well. Visiting them to see a hockey game is a form of vote, and support.
I see a leopards ate my face moment brewing.
What kind of bullshit botspam out this here?
Goes both ways. We feed it shit. It feeds us shit. We feed ourselves shit. It feeds itself shit. More like and ass-to-mouth 69. Like a human-centipede + bot ouroboros.
I looked in my crystal ball to see what can been seen. It only showed me the word “soon”.
The DNC is captured opposition. AOC should run for President, under a new party. All non captured Dems need to join that party.
The rule of law is dead. Enter the age of action and consequence.
I had a lot of fun talking to one about how we could fully electrify a hobby farm without batteries, by using a high voltage DC overhead wire on a cable pulley system. Everything from electrical engineering, to cable selection, sourcing vendors and costs.
Mistakes were made, but it was genuinely helpful at times. I was impressed at how far it has come.
I respect what you are saying, and agree our LLM are just superficial pseudo communication engines. Theories of intelligence differ, but I don’t think human intelligence, i.e. IQ of 100 is really all that far ahead of LLM. Just talk to your average person. We are easily wrong. We have bias and error. We repeat and amplify untruths and make mistakes.
It could be fewer breakthoughs than you think to get there. Not because the tech is so advanced, but because we are not that special.
Super-intelligence is just degrees better.
Like all technology, the development times get shorter and shorter. No one can predict the future and specific dates are meaningless, but it is plausible that, stumbles aside, AI achieves superintelligence in the very near future. My gut says sooner than later with 90% probability by 2040. <-remember I said dates are meaningless. ;)
The world is not ready for it. It will be more destructive than constructive. May god have mercy on us all. I hope I am wrong.
While Tesla is now and forever dead to me. I would love an EV without the surveilance, self steering, self braking etc…
I want an EV that only I control, not run by some fascists software updates. Autodrive isn’t something that frees you from the burden of driving, its control over where when and how you go anywhere. Its control marketed as convenience.
Give me the dumbest EV possible. It should also be cheaper to produce.
Leopards ate my face.
