"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is it? Or is it about a major system failure leading to an uncontrollable car?
He is very relevant because he says his cars are self driving and safer than human drivers.
There's no way the car was completely uncontrollable outside of something like a mechanical failure of the suspension or steering system. It is the easiest thing in the world to take over from those systems. You can yank the wheel. You can hit the brake. You can bump the switch. All of those are intuitive and take no time. It's exactly as easy as turning off cruise control. Completely, 100% on the driver. Period.
Again, shit on reality instead of fantasy. There's plenty of actual real things that Tesla does that suck. Turning off autosteer isn't one of them. We're making up lies and trying to criticize based on those when there's a cornucopia of horrible truths right there ripe for the picking. All this insistence on lying is doing is weakening the argument.
