Seems like it's up to Anthropic to teach it's AI model not to pimp itself out.

Gotta get that $5 trade-in

There was no reason to make it look so out of place, unless they actually wanted to tank sales. Nothing about its look is necessitated by the EV drive train versus ICE.

That's not a marketing issue, that's whoever approved that design. Which, to be fair, may be the marketing boss depending on how their corporate structure is.

According to Elektrek, Butler had previously told Harris County officials that his vehicle had been on Autopilot (the standard Tesla self-driving system, which is less advanced than FSD) when it collided with Avila's two-story home.

It wasn't even FSD apparently, according to the driver.

Having actually owned a Tesla with Enhanced Autopilot in the past... Autopilot doesn't work at all like this situation would require. Autopilot requires clearly visible lane lines, and is limited to 5 mph over the speed limit unless you are on a highway. A residential street certainly isn't going to allow the vehicle to do the claimed 73mph on Autopilot.

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's Head of AI, also commented on the post, supporting Musk's claims Butler was directly operating the car in the events that lead to the fatal crash. "Yup. In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal in this residential area," he said. "They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash."

This reads to me as a guy who maybe had autopilot on, then hit the accelerator instead of the brakes when he came to the end of the street, because Autopilot won't stop and turn. Basically the same most of those Prius sudden acceleration crashes from years back. Drivers just hitting the wrong pedal. It's also the simplest explanation.

They already don't need evaporative cooling. They just don't want to pay for closed loop systems because they're more expensive than evaporative cooling.

The solution exists, it's just not required so no one is paying to do it when they don't have to.

Yes... this is how Mobile Device Management works for every company. The company determines which apps you can have on your phone, and which are required. It's literally how work phones are handled by companies worldwide.

I’m not letting some billionaire vibecode his way into the white house…again

That literally never happened. He simply told people what they wanted to hear and told them who to blame for all of their issues. Those being easily verifiable lies didn't make a difference to enough people.

There wasn't a high tech exploit, or even a low tech exploit. Just the human exploit. The same thing that results in 99% of technology "hacks", social engineering. The human is always the weakest link.

In a just world, even asking for this would be a death sentence for a company.

The number of people that think things from Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost are from the Bible is shockingly large.

Just goes to show how few actually read anything from the various flavors of Bible. So much effort to bring those words to a form the average person could read, instead of relying on Clergy to interpret for them... and no one does it.

One interpretation is that the denizens of hell actually punish themselves. They know their actions were evil and sent them there, and that they deserve the punishment, so they receive the punishment they think they deserve.

No that's pretty much it. Big institutional investors already were invested privately before. A handful of smaller institutions usually get priority at special rates unaffected by the initial fluctuations.

The big bold number that gets blasted by the media are what the everyday person has access to. And they're always the first to get fucked, as designed.

Wall Street's motto is: Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. Everything follows that.

Oh look, the completely expected and basically dependable event that happens after EVERY IPO, happened. Anyone jumping on an initial IPO is a fucking idiot. They always go under.

They might eventually still make it back to be profitable if they wait months or even years... or they could have waited a few weeks and bought the inevitable dip and never been underwater in the first place, making more profit.
