@themacdolton @cybertruck @grok @grok What's the likelihood of a new F150 making it to or past 150k miles without massive repair bills? (Drivetrain failure, engine failure, etc?)
English

Per @grok compared to $45k F150
Bottom Line with 30,000 Miles/Year
• Higher mileage improves the Cybertruck’s case significantly: Fuel/maintenance savings scale linearly, while insurance (mostly fixed annually) becomes less burdensome per mile. Operations now favor the Cybertruck by ~$13,500 over 300k miles.
• But insurance still eats into gains, and resale depreciation remains a big hit for the Cybertruck (steeper drop-off due to novelty, repair ecosystem, and EV battery perceptions at extreme miles).
• Break-even time on the $15k upfront: ~11.1 years / 333k miles — you fall short at 10 years/300k miles, ending ~$7,000 behind overall.
• The F-150 edges out on total cost of ownership here, but the gap narrows dramatically vs. lower-mileage scenarios (previously ~$23k behind). At even higher miles or if insurance quotes for the Cybertruck come in lower (e.g., via Tesla Insurance, bundling, or safe driver discounts), the Cybertruck could flip positive.

After 20 hours of failed installs, wasted API costs, failing at using any local LLM and about to give up, I spun up the Kimi version.
Mine cannot send a reminder. None of the integrations actually work 100% - it can do half the job like a bad intern that falls asleep. No matter how many times you say never use em dashes it will overly use em dashes, land i still struggle to see what it's doing that I can't do in any AI browser windows - but it's changing my life, productivity is through the roof (just not sure what to produce) and I'll be rich any day now!
If you aren't crushing it with OpenClaw then you aren't crushing life.

@jelanifuel I've been fighting through the same thing. I keep asking "why is this any better than just using the Claude app?" So far, for the most part, I say "it's not". I'll continue testing and playing though!
English

@Kimi_Moonshot has a one-click Openclaw deployment that's pretty nifty ($40/month). If you're like me and have spent hours setting up different versions (local, EC2, local LLM vs. API access, burning through tokens and hitting rate limits in minutes), it's worth checking out.
That said, I have yet to do anything useful or productive with it, but at least it's up and running and only took a few minutes.
Maybe tomorrow I'll discuss how my life has changed, my bank accounts have grown, and my company has skyrocketed because of the dozens of agents "doing stuff" 24/7.
$40 is a lot less than a Mac mini if you just want to play around first.

@fortelabs But the twitters said I can change my life and revolutionize my productivity in 3 minutes and all I need is a Claude API key!?
English

How is this different than every other disruptive technology? In the 80s robots were going to take all the jobs (they did). In the 90s computers were going to take all the jobs (they did). 2000s outsourcing was taking all the jobs (it did). In the early 1800s the cotton gin was going to take all the jobs (it did). Every time there is a disruptive technology industries crash and jobs are lost.
Unfortunately it always hits hardest the 50+ age group. Not a lot of time to regroup, retrain, and re-educate (though far from impossible) and not old enough to just retire and watch it unfold.
My guess is the trades will continue to reign supreme the next decade. Someone has to build all those data centers (until humanoid robots take all the jobs).

yeah thats all cool and stuff but how is this supposed to work out is my biggest concern. like, how do you actually adapt? you spent your whole fkn life building your future by going to school, university, seeking knowledge, learning skills and getting ready for your dream job just to be replaced by software. lets say your job gets completely replaced by tomorrow, like what do you want me to do? whats the next step? should I go back to school and learn something new? seriously, I'd be completely cool with that but thats not gonna work out financially, you got me? People are in the middle of their life, family, kids... its not just a job that gets replaced, its your whole life you built thats getting messed up. if all I know and can do is no longer worth anything at all, what do I got to offer to the world then? its fkd up man.
English

Wasn't expecting this to go so viral...
If only this was last week with @nikitabier's X article contest :)
But seriously, I'm glad that my message has been received.
It's so, so important for the people in your lives that are outside of tech to understand what's happening, because this is going to affect them, and soon.

@BTC_Cracker @mattshumer_ Oh, I agree! I'm not saying it won't get there, it may get there very fast, but there's this constant sentiment (i.e., Openclaw) of a miracle productivity hack, which I yet to see substantiated.
English

Sir, with respect, you are wrong. You cannot comprehend what is coming and how good this thing will be — not in 10 years but in 2 years. And it will get faster each month. That is what you’re missing. It isn’t about hobbyists as even the hobbyists won’t have anything to do. Think deeper and then stretch your mind “if it can do that — then it can do…”. Then shorten the timeline by half over and over.

Every time someone asks me what's going on with AI, I give them the safe answer. Because the real one sounds insane.
I'm done holding back.

I've been bombarded with posts about Clawdbot / Moltbot / Openclaw lately.
It took hours to get it running on an EC2 instance, not minutes.
Configuring skills (via itself) burned through my $10 of Claude tokens quickly, hitting API limits and waiting for cooldowns every other message.
What am I missing? In theory, local models offer privacy and no costs, but few posts show tangible productivity gains, just vague "changed my life" or "incredible boost." When challenged, replies say "you just have try it!"
It seems suspect!

@asherkkine Continuous inspiration and motivation while I focus on gratitude.

@wholemars How is threads 4? I've literally never met a single person IRL who has ever used it.
English


@bradsferguson The weird part is literally every passenger I've ever had uses the manual release.
English

Teslas have a manual release on all their doors. On the front doors it is on the handle. On the rear doors, it is under a simple rubber insert.
imo, Tesla should educate new owners about this at delivery.
Bloomberg is wrong as usual.

I could never imagine buying from a dealership again. In NY the only piece of paper I needed to sign was the NY registration at pick up. Staff was awesome at Mt Kisco, facility is nice and the test drive experience is a dream. My 22 Model 3 was perfect. 80k miles later - no issues and no regrets.
