> Jesse Lyu trusts his Tesla’s “self-driving” technology

Why? The guy he bought it from doesn't.

Musk says he is a technologist. Musk says he knows a lot about computers. Musk says the last thing he would do is trust a computer program:

The "but that's not the real Musk" game doesn't work anymore. They aren't "ill-advised" retweets. They are who and what he is. Increasingly they are all he is. Musk is the crank on Twitter.

Musk spends all day, every day showing you who and what he is. Believe him.

Here are two exercises for you:

1. Musk is keen on criticizing many governments, both foreign and domestic. Can you find for me a single criticism of the Chinese government from Musk?

2. Musk likes to spread conspiracy theories. Musk says he is a technologist. Musk says he knows a lot about computers. Musk says the last thing he would do is trust a computer program:

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/musk-pushes-debunked-...

Can you reconcile Musk's position that he would never trust a computer program with his claim that Tesla has a full-self driving computer program that does full autonomy (this time for sure!) and everyone should trust it (it will save lives!) and buy it and rent it and hail a robotaxi?

> A weak Europe is in the interest of those for whom regulation is an inappropriate limitation of their power

It is the natural instinct of oligarchs everywhere.

The solution is don't buy the products of the companies Musk is associated with.

Ukraine would love it even more if Russia got out of their country.

The war can end tomorrow. All Russia needs to do is get out of Ukraine. All of it.

Easy to do, simple to achieve. No more Russians or North Koreans need to die.

New comment by peutetre in "Trump told SCOTUS he plans to make a deal to save TikTok"

peutetre — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 10:51:49 +0000

> Trump told the court that TikTok was an important platform for his presidential campaign and that he should be the one to make the call on whether TikTok should remain in the US—not the Supreme Court.

That's all it comes down to really. Trump's interest ahead of any national interest.
