I'm sure this is the USP that will restore sales in Canada!

That day is today! The new Grok now queries Elon Musk's twitter feed as a solution to its antisemitic outburst problems.

I'm not kidding, I'm dead serious: https://apnews.com/article/grok-4-elon-musk-xai-colossus-14d575fb490c2b679ed3111a1c83f857

I got banned from Twitter for saying the word "cisgendered."

So they DO know how to build limitations into the software! They've just done it in a fucked up, dystopian way :)

Edit: LOL I asked Grok... Cisgendered is filtered as a supposed slur, while both the R word for the mentally disabled and the hard R word for the pallor-impaired, neither of those words are filtered as slurs.

Unfortunately, you've been replaced by AI.

... so, the Cybertruck will blow itself up.

There's a lot going on in there. None of it good.

As I typed it I read it and I was like "do I shoot my shot and make the joke?" and I had a rare moment of self-restraint

But Grok would be like "you had me at 𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫"

I'm... very sad at how germane that question is in 2025.

Us embracing that radical positivity

That's the rub. Sometimes you don't know the utility of a tool until you build it. The future is weird that way.

Who would have thought WHAT people would chat with ChatGPT about? Like, romance? WTF? That's strange, call it emergent behavior, the final utility was unexpected.

In my head, I anticipate the tool going down the track of voice assistants from the pre-AI phase, so just like Alexa for directions or simple searches, but local to the car. Maybe unintended utilities will arise? If it can do directions and music and web searches, I guess, we don't really know what other utilities drivers will find for it yet?

I respect your take :)

 

With Tesla, you can turn a $2,442 windshield installation into a $3,174 windshield installation through the power of interest.

This is being reported by the Teslasphere as an "excellent option" to restore affordability to a car market that desperately needs more affordability.

Only, neither of those numbers is even in the same ballpark as affordable.

Neither of those numbers is even vaguely affordable, but the higher one can be reduced to bite-sized chunks.

 

Nissan isn't at death's door... but it's close.

 

Do you know what taxi works when it rains?

The bicycle taxi.

Somehow, one of the world's overvalued companies can't figure out what every pedicab operator already knows.

 

It's hard to imagine any non-car-based technology being given so much freedom to experiment on public streets with only the iffiest of safety protections.

Tesla Robotaxis drive like they're drunk, and that's probably an unfair comparison for the drunk drivers.

See for yourself, one Redditor is on a personal mission to document all the mistakes from the Robotaxi rollout in Austin TX this week.

 

Just 36 hours into Tesla’s Robotaxi debut in Austin, Reddit users have already compiled more than 11 separate videos of the cars making various public blunders.

The full list is being updated here, and if you’re interested in seeing how well Tesla Full-Self Driving performs without a driver behind the wheel, it's worth a scroll!

 

So, the Tesla Robotaxi rollout is going great and they are following all applicable local laws to autonomously drive safely. /s

 

Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps...

... But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

 

You can't park there, mate!

 

I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:

  • Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
  • Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
  • Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.

And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.

 

We’re getting the first videos of “select guests” getting access to Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Austin, and the level of polish leaves something to be desired.

For instance, one gaggle of Tesla influencers was dropped off directly in an intersection, leading to these wooly screenshots.
