Have you not seen Tesla's stock price? Autopilot? Robotaxis?

(I say this as a Tesla owner who literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot. I also live in downtown austin and see Robotaxis everywhere)

Lol I've pretty much checked out of HN since the discussion here is reddit r/technology level of competence.

The idea that TSLA is failing is so completely moronic that it's astonishing.

The stock is at an all time high?

No, but it would be great if large sums of money came with financial literacy courses to save a lot of pain and suffering later down the road.

The number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and make $500k a year is insane.

Will be interesting to see how many of them have money left after 5 years

The president doesn't control US courts.

Hard to take this article seriously when it gets basic facts like that wrong.

> At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired.

Then do it.

Since when did HN become like Reddit? Always negative about everything?

Feels like all the losers from Reddit have somehow migrated here.

I get that it's a UI issue that OpenAI needs to solve. But it's really interesting how we have this crazy powerful tool like LLMs and the people on "hacker news" can't be bothered to spend enough time with them to develop good workflows.

Really shows how much the quality of the HN community has changed.

skill issue.

The fact that you're using 4o and 4.1 rather than claude is already a huge mistake in itself.

> Because as it stands, the experience feels completely broken

Broken for you. Not for everyone else.

You have zero idea what you’re talking about.

Every one of these companies is using agents. they’re not relying on a single LLM call with some kind of prompt.

Great progress, but someone should still sue these companies for the years of discrimination disguised as “equity”

Again that's not how it works. It's a two-sided marketplace.

> the drivers make the rational decision you’ve outlined above

Okay... then the rates for drivers will automatically go up again since there's there'll be a mismatch between drivers & riders.

By "something happens to me", are you talking about a temporary absence (due to an illness or a vacation or something) or are you talking about the bus number (you get hit by a bus)?

I honestly don't understand how delusional you have to be to think OpenAI wanted this to happen.

Quoting that as a relevant case law is completely ridiculous.

Did you even look at the Ford commercial? https://youtu.be/hxShNrpdVRs

Having someone sing in the exact same style as another singer is totally different from what OpenAI did with their voice AI (having a female actor speak in a flirty tone).

It makes sense with music but you're setting a really dangerous precedent if you can't even hire a voice actor who sounds similar for speaking.
