@SawyerMerritt So the total no of miles driven would amount to driving 277,000 times around the earth’s and still FSD needs to be supervised after all that ‘learning’. Something tells me it’s a slow learner.

NEWS: Tesla owners have now collectively driven over 6.9 billion miles on FSD (Supervised). On track to cross 7 billion by the end of the year.

“If you feel something can’t be done, then get out of the way and let others who are capable do it” ! Waymo has done it, Rivian is doing it, Toyota is working on using it so each to their own ways of solving autonomy.

@SBeitelshees @itskyleconner Right ? Doesn’t it make you wonder why not a single auto company has bought into the FSD hype and licensed it inspite of Elon saying there were mfrs lining up for licensing FSD? Makes me wonder why ? Must be the matrix playing with their heads and common sense .

@itskyleconner Tesla is so far ahead of the matrix on this, it is unfathomable why not one OEM has decided to bite the humble pie and partner up on FSD.

Getting back into FSD on Hardware 3 feels even more impressive after my week testing a few competitor systems that are in development or even deployed HW4 w/ v14 is mind blowing Videos coming soon!

All the Tesla fanboys feeling hurt that Elon was not able to license FSD to a single buyer - even though it was “Full self driving “ with vision only cameras . There must be a reason why … Ah, maybe because more auto companies want a more reliable autonomous system?

Microsoft should bring back the Cortana speaker and have it support “Hey CoPilot” maybe. NO any people want to talk to a laptop. #CoPilot #Microsoft

Remember, status-quo always benefits the existing rich people. They don’t want any change because that will change the dynamics of how they got so rich.

Millionaires and Billionaires who don’t actually live in NYC prognosticating on the future of New York. Didnt you all say NYC was dead and would never recover after COVID when a handful of people moved to Florida?

@AndyM1928 @zachweinberg Corruption and fraud maybe the reason?

@zachweinberg I get hating Cuomo. Why do they hate Adams?

@zachweinberg @KB43215 The moderate candidates did badly in the national polls - twice when Trump won. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

@Drowlord101 @efficientenzyme @tyler Thanks for that. On that I agree - the govt should not have done it. But this was a failure of capitalism gone rogue to only benefit the rich and powerful. I will just leave some facts (contended) to end this thread…

I like how you directly and specifically ignored my explicit claim to the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you claim I said. "although I don't think the government should have done it". I don't see any reason to be outraged about something that didn't cost anything. But I agree that we shouldn't have bailed anyone out and we should have let the bad actors fail.

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic to nonexistent. Anarchy and socialism are the next logical steps in this story arc. It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad. It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better. The Zoomers and Millennials need a refresher on the outcome of Marxism and socialism. They are too young to remember the crack and crime epidemic and murder sprees of the late 80's and early 90's. The squeegee men, graffiti, mugging, lawlessness, chaos, and pandemonium. Streets that were too unsafe to walk alone at night or even during the day. Getting mugged on the way to and from school was not just a rite of passage, it was an inevitability. The Wall Streeters, financiers, and hedge funders have been too busy working on their fishponds and climbing the rungs of polite society to remember to protect the system that allowed them to achieve their success in the first place and allowed New York City to once become the greatest city in the world. Not ruffling feathers was more important than questioning the ideological insanity being taught in the private schools and universities that they sent their kids to. All that mattered was fitting in and getting invited to the right dinner parties. Now their kids are indoctrinated NPCs, always protesting and supporting the current thing. Like their parents, they too want to fit in. To do so, they unironically exchange bromides and platitudes on the benefits of socialism over rosé brunches in the West Village. Because their friends hate America and capitalism, they do too. It never dawns on them that their lifestyle and studio apartment that their parents subsidize are all made possible because of capitalism. This delusional thinking was ingrained in them at an early age by institutions that were captured by insane ideology and left unchecked by their grossly negligent parents. Instead of providing their children with immunity from stupid and provably bad ideas that have only led to misery and death throughout history, these parents shrugged it off as kids will be kids. Now these kids are adults who can vote, but are totally unequipped to do so. In many ways it’s not their fault. From their parents, they learned some combination of magical thinking, preference falsification, and an inability to stand up for anything greater than themselves. As a result, they never learned how to think critically or independently. They never learned the value of Western civilization so they don't understand why, or know how, to fight for it. Sometimes the only way to learn something is to learn it the hard way. Sometimes the only way to learn the value of what you have is to lose it. If that’s the case, Marxism and socialism might just be what the doctor ordered.

@Drowlord101 @efficientenzyme @tyler I like how you try and rationalize bail outs of failing banks while at the same time criticizing “socialism”. A true capitalistic principle would have been to let failing banks actually fail. A lot of the banks didn’t pass a basic stress test either, so there ….

All of the banks paid back their bailouts pretty rapidly, and with interest, so that really wasn't the big deal everyone makes it out to be. And (although I don't think the government should have done it) it made sense to bail them out because the government knew the banks were good for the bailout loans. The upside-down home owners? No chance that any significant percentage of them could have repaid a bailout in a reasonable time frame (or probably ever). Bailing out consumers is a masturbatory fantasy completely outside the realm of rational thought.

While socialism is not the solution everywhere, the young generation has become tired of the capitalistic system as it has failed them. People should look inwards and understand the failures instead of blaming socialism as it’s not an American mainstream system.

“Socialism” is the bogeyman used to scare people in America these days - while the robber keep robbing the same people under the guise of “excessive capitalism”

@Drowlord101 @efficientenzyme @tyler The only place you could blame the govt was in lacking proper banking regulations and oversight. And then when the banks crashed, and people lost houses, who do you think got the two was rescued ? Wall Street of course.

@Drowlord101 @efficientenzyme @tyler It happened mainly because of Banking behaviour (banks lending at sub-prime rates) and consumer behaviour (people buying more house then they could afford). The Govt had lesser regulation . - Excessive Subprime Lending - Housing Bubble (market exuberance) - Securitization & MBS

@Drowlord101 @efficientenzyme @tyler What utter bullshit. The whole mortgage crisis happened not because banks were “forced to” lend money at cheap rates. It was because banks could sell more mortgage backed securities bundle and make a killling on those assets. Then the cheap ARM rates reset and the show collapsed

The 2008 real estate collapse was the result of "spread the wealth" thinking -- government decided that businesses had to give home loans to people who couldn't pay them back. Prices exploded, homeowners were screwed, the real estate economy collapsed. The student loan crisis was again the result of "spread the wealth" thinking -- the government decided that businesses had to give student loans to people who couldn't pay them back. Prices exploded, students were screwed, the education economy is collapsing. The healthcare crisis was again the result of "spread the wealth" thinking -- the government decided that businesses had to give health insurance to people who couldn't pay for it. Prices exploded, sick people were screwed, the healthcare economy is fucked. Millennials just seem blind to how all of this starts, and why it inevitably fails because their education is shit. It's always the socialist policies that cause it.

@efficientenzyme @tyler Exactly. The whole mortgage crisis happened not because banks were “forced to” lend money at cheap rates. It was because banks could sell more mortgage backed securities bundle and make a killling on those assets. Then when the cheap ARM rates reset, the whole thing crashed.

Blaming socialism for millennial disillusionment is wild when it was capitalism—2008, student debt, unaffordable housing—that radicalized millennials. Also rich (ha): a billionaire crypto mogul lecturing NYC on kleptocracy while VC money launders luxury towers and rig tokenomics. If NYC’s broken, Zohran didn’t do it. Your class spent decades privatizing public goods, gutting institutions, and teaching your kids to worship markets. You want to save capitalism ? As do I - Maybe try “throwing good money” at it to work for someone outside of your trust fund.

R2 body built with production dies!!

@pitdesi Yeah, definitely need some of that moon-shot shares of “Trump buys Greenland” to prop up my retirement savings.

This is wild
