Which, I might add, all moved around like Joe Biden ten years from now....

You kick a bot today it’ll remember in 4 years when it can kill you.

What the nerds didn’t know, was they were being filmed for a movie about nerds losing all their money by investing into a company that was secretly building a carnival ride.

I hate toasters and will be ready for them.

That’s just it, right? You never know when FSD will want to kill you.

[Victoria Watcher]

All it takes is means, motive and opportunity for any killing.

FSD already has at least two of those. Don’t give it the third!

[Mike K.]

Two FSD vehicles can conspire to create the motive and opportunity, then cover for each other after the fact by creating an AI video record of the scene.

Watch the series "The Capture" for a look at how AI might look down the road, or maybe even today.

Elon Musk has done it again. And by “it,” we mean tricked a lot of people with “autonomous” robots that are actually being helped by unseen human operators. And this isn’t the first time Musk has done this.

…

Plenty of people thought they were fully independent robots, interacting with humans just like other human beings. “This tech is years ahead of any competition,” one user on X wrote. The problem is, based on everything we know about Tesla’s robotics achievements, Musk is actually way behind the competition.

It was obvious. The problem isn’t him lying. There will always be someone willing to lie. They are everywhere. Just look to our government and media. This is the problem:

"Waymo announced today that they had closed a $5.6 billion funding round, with most of the funding coming from parent Alphabet, but also from several leading investors. The commitment from Alphabet was announced earlier.

"While no robotaxi service is yet in a mature production state with high growth, once that state is attained, buying the vehicles themselves becomes the single largest cost of operating the robotaxi fleet. It’s an interesting question of where that large amount of capital comes from. Companies like Alphabet, Amazon and General Motors—the three leading robotaxi players in the USA—are flush with capital, but the amounts needed are truly huge.

"With a custom Robotaxi design, like that of the Amazon Zoox, the shelved GM Cruise Origin, or the Tesla Cybercab, there is an issue. If the vehicle fails, or even goes obsolete too soon, it has very little value. There’s really nobody else who can buy it, let alone will buy it. That means the vehicles must be bought with investment capital, or once profitable, with profits. There are always better uses for that sort of money.

"This creates an unexpected attraction for robotaxis that are based on existing car models, such as Waymo’s planned Ioniq 5, Cruise’s Chevy Bolt or Tesla’s hoped for self-driving Model 3 and Y. It becomes possible, if necessary, to resell them to ordinary customers if they fail.

Tesla’s biz model is to sell them to regular folks first. That way their car drives them to work, then works as a taxi, then drives them home. If they can do that for anywhere close to $40,000 they will not be able to make them fast enough.

[Mike K.]

It would be quite something. Especially if the person in the vehicle does not need a license.

[dasmo]

It’s a great model. Puts your capital to work. The car is going to be the first mass adopted personal droid. My car just sits and rots 99% of its time.

At some point the person in the vehicle can be any responsible individual, even a minor. They can take your car or a robotaxi to soccer practice. Although with a neurolink implant you will no longer need to practice to excel at soccer. Your skills will be implanted while you sleep.

The current problem with Waymo is that the initial cost is much too high.

[Victoria Watcher]

$200,000 each maybe.
