FSD v14.3 with reasoning is imminent. This implies distilled, local, asynchronous, higher level thinking. It should solve a lot of problems that need deeper thought beyond twitch response, like where to park, how to navigate weird construction cones, or how to deal with adversarial antagonists (dude who keeps replacing a cone in front of you). This also reduces the burden on remote supervisors, who might have to occasionally make a judgement call (they already don't teleoperate, which isn't feasible anyway). Tesla already knows how good it is. This is why Tesla is confident to continue scaling production of RoboCabs with no steering wheels or pedals.

@DefiantLs "how can we squeeze this rich guy for another $100? I dunno make something up at the table. I just threw food at him and it didn't look cool or anything! That's okay. Just upcharge."

I don't think Mark was impressed with that one

@xosaka12 @ArtOfMusic_ I'm trying to figure out if that is his voice, or lip sync.

@Game_Dev_Steve @ArtOfMusic_ How did you learn to speak? All speech is imitation, hence the existence of regional accents.

This man could easily be the next voiceover King, like Morgan Freeman, for a new generation “The concept of glory is wasted on the inglorious” 😂🤯

@White_Rabbit_OG haha, no this is not true

WHAT THE FUDGE!!?? I DID NOT KNOW THAT 🤔🧐😳

🐱👋🤣⚡🌟

@SteveLovesAmmo Never partner a female cop with a female cop. It is dangerous for them.

I have so many questions.

@realMaalouf It's salesmanship. They are trying to recruit degenerates with no morals, who will believe anything they say. They are trying to juice the deal. Anyone who isn't enticed, isn't useful for that kind of indoctrination.

Islamic imam in Germany: “As soon as you enter Paradise, 72 virgins will be waiting for you. When you are done with one virgin, the next one will be ready for you. The virgins won’t be jealous of each other.” Why is it all about sex in the afterlife for them?!

@DesireeAmerica4 Trannies have nothing left to lose (literally) and are therefore very dangerous, even if weak.

If a fight like this breaks out at the table next to you, are you intervening or grabbing your food and running?

@MbarkCherguia It's much easier to name those who are funny. It's a very short list.

I’ll go first… Seth Rogan

Generally agree. Comedy is about batting average. Most of these bat close to 0.000, but a very few of these losers do hit once in a while. But almost none of these take risks. They just pander to the ideology of their producers. IMO we should be more forgiving for those who take risks. But these folk get no bonus credit. This is quite a sad list, TBH.

@MbarkCherguia Here’s a list of names: - Jon Stewart - Stephen Colbert - John Oliver - Bill Maher - Jimmy Kimmel - Samantha Bee - Lewis Black - D.L. Hughley - Whoopi Goldberg - Sarah Silverman - Trevor Noah - Hasan Minhaj - Patton Oswalt - Seth Meyers - Wanda Sykes

I legit can't think of a worse capital allocator, except maybe the US government.

@IfindRetards 1) got tired of working out after a lifetime of hard work 2) Dr. said more HGH would give him cancer 3) he decided to be a fag

What happened to Dave Bautista?

@AntiLeftMemes The formal complaints slow down once you have dementia. - Joe Biden

Joe Biden is writing a Presidential memoir book. What should it be named?

@CollinRugg Welcome to TX, a-hole.

NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store. Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence. "There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said. "You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years." Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint. The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk. Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.

I hate when people say @SpaceX is simply handed government contracts. No, SpaceX earns those contracts. They offer the lowest price, the best product and they execute. The Pentagon said last year that SpaceX has saved the government over $40 billion. One SLS launch costs billions, while one SpaceX launch costs ~$75M. SpaceX is an example of great American innovation, something that all Americans should cheer on.

@StevenCheung47 WTF kind of poll is this? "those who approve of Trump approve of Trump"

100%

Besides Andreesen being completely wrong about the historical record, he's making a kind of category error. Avoiding all introspection is like saying "I avoid taking action because some actions are worthless or even harmful." Introspection isn't all the same. Good: meta-cognition, epistemology, mistake analysis, reassessing your priors in the face of new evidence, refining your prediction model, processing data, strategizing, etc. Bad: rumination, loathing, prolonged mourning, overthinking, etc. Circumstantial: daydreaming, fantasizing, meditating, chasing epiphany, zoning out, etc. Less introspection and more action is often better. But favoring hasty action often doesn't work out well, especially if you haven't developed good System 1 thinking, which requires a degree of (surprise) introspection along with the doing.

@robertwiblin Good call-out. Meta cognition is a superpower. Use it to hone your OS for efficiency and resilience. Rumination deepens and extends depression. Avoid it.

Being generous here Andreessen isn't criticising introspection, but rumination, which really is harmful most of the time. But as Claude observes the intellectual history he goes on to is wildly incorrect: "The history is embarrassingly wrong. The claim that introspection was basically invented by Freud in Vienna circa 1910-1920 ignores: Socrates ("the unexamined life is not worth living"), the entire Stoic tradition (Marcus Aurelius's Meditations is literally a journal of self-examination — written by an emperor running an empire), Augustine's Confessions in the 4th century, Buddhist contemplative traditions going back ~2,500 years, and basically every major philosophical and religious tradition. The idea that "great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff" is refuted by some of the most famous texts in Western civilization being exactly that. The survivorship bias is also glaring. He's read biographies of successful entrepreneurs, noticed a pattern, and concluded the trait caused the success. But you'd need to also look at the base rate of low-introspection people who failed — which is presumably enormous and just not written up in bestselling biographies. Many spectacular founder blowups (WeWork, Theranos, etc.) look like precisely what happens when someone has zero introspection and no capacity for self-correction. The steelman would be something like: "Founders who succeed at hypergrowth companies tend to have an unusual capacity to not be derailed by self-doubt, and the current therapeutic culture sometimes pathologizes that." That's a reasonable observation. But it's a long way from "introspection is a Viennese guilt trip and you should have zero of it." ... On guilt and self-questioning: guilt is basically universal across human cultures and recorded history. The Hebrew Bible is saturated with it — David's guilt over Bathsheba, the entire prophetic tradition is people being told to examine their conduct and repent. Confucian self-cultivation explicitly involves daily self-examination (Zengzi's "three daily examinations" is a canonical text). Hindu and Buddhist traditions have elaborate frameworks for moral self-scrutiny. The Christian confession tradition predates Freud by about 1,500 years. The speaker seems to think Freud invented guilt rather than offering a particular (and now largely discredited) therapeutic framework for processing it. On the individual: the claim that "Western civilization invented the concept of the individual several hundred years ago" is a garbled version of a real historiographical debate — there are scholars who argue that something distinctive happened with Renaissance humanism, the Reformation's emphasis on individual conscience, Enlightenment liberalism, etc. But the strong version the speaker is pushing — that people before this didn't conceive of themselves as individuals with inner lives — is absurd. People in every culture have had a sense of self, personal agency, and inner experience. What changed was the political and philosophical status granted to the individual, not the existence of interiority. Otherwise, they're conflating introspection with rumination, which is like conflating exercise with overtraining. Introspection includes things like noticing your reasoning is flawed, recognizing when you're making decisions out of ego rather than evidence, updating your strategy based on honest self-assessment. These are obviously useful — including for entrepreneurs." What the speaker is really doing is constructing a just-so story to justify a personality trait they already have and find useful. Which is, ironically, the kind of error that a bit more introspection might help you catch."
