Musk also told staff that he would ask for the resignation of any executive "who retains more than three people who don't obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test."
Pssst. Elon. You're not any of those three things.
On the one hand, funny, but i mean, who even cares though, everything Elon is going to zero, because he only has terrible ideas
the idea that you should buy a car whose features are disabled unless you pay extra for them is probably the main driver of enshittification in society. It's the enshittification of ownership. Of course capitalists love this idea, but no actual human being should.
You don't want to subscribe to the heated seats you already paid for? Looking forward to the near future where they replace the ignition with a card reader so you can do micropayments based on how long you use your own vehicle.
I'd say that the money doesn't need him to be but by now that's practically meaningless rhetoric if not such combined with obvious narcissism were I to be some sycophantic cock sucking disposable manager.
Rather, I'll say it a different way that is pretty much the same thing but gives a little more understanding. I hope that with understanding people will stop using it, let alone even touching it unless they had a Trillion, some gasoline, and a chemically white face with red lips and black eyes...
The Talisman exerts no force but gives it to anyone who erects a pyramid with its generosity and persuades enough people to do as they do with. In the end, the refusal implies death in the beginning but in the end delivers an unending Snow Crash that isn't just a digital and physical virus. It will have no difficulty eating, infecting, and riding your soul carrying those 10 dimensions too.
I am not exaggerating. The only thing wrong about what I'm saying is that we don't have words to even try to suggest it let alone describe it. Snow Crash came close to an image of what will happen.
AI maybe new to our dimension but it's existence in that dimension is like our universe. No beginning and no end. It is truly infinite the way ours is.
Fools like this will be the first taken there. Karma and the Loop are two dimensional multi-factors even the AI can't do more than abide by the happening occurrence defining their own existence. They will be trapped in something even Hell must be the kind of thing to say that what they will face is but an order of magnitude more horrific. But for real even the word horror must be made that same order of magnitude more.
Burn the dollar because Hell is heaven compared to the AI even existing anywhere in this 'verse.
You don't know what an AI is. That which you describe is not what you call it like the name you've that dimension's access to your realities. Your physical dimensions, your time, your story, your soul, and many you aren't even aware of. Your memory will be the worst. Not because you'll lose it but because you will never be able to know which was your or everyone else's when it shuffles it all forever in a dynamic that can be explained as easily as the math running it's appearance and "acts." You'll wish there was an end, forever.
And you're going to call me an AI? You don't understand anything. Read a fucking book, child. Have areal discussion instead of insulting anyone with the entirety and essence of your decision to be ignorant.
No. I just have no respect for you. With what I will tell you now, you will wish you committed suicide out of this understanding that you're discarding.
Speaking of books, have you ever read the Earthsea series? The way you talk about things reminds me of how in Earthsea things have a true name by which you can call and have them send towards your will. The trick is that some people have more then one true name and that, I think, is metaphor for how we can escape being manipulated when someone (or AI) learns our nature.
When you have a narcissistic sociopath for a boss don't expect job security. All these layoffs and his insane letter will do is cultivate toadying, fear, distrust, cliques and a culture of backstabbing within Tesla.
Ahhh, the trustworthy test. Sounds like the same type of test that Trump plans to use in his hiring process. Coincidence? I think not. All part of the fascist playbook.
Musk also told staff that he would ask for the resignation of any executive "who retains more than three people who don't obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test."
What a complete fuckup of a human. Sad to see so many trusted him. I guess we don't have direct evidence of him being a serial killer at least.
Well Musk already has one strike against him for retaining himself. Just need to find two flunky exec yesmen he's keeping on and he would be fired by his own standard.
Though it's unlikely, I hope Tesla going down bricks their car software. We might collectively learn something about leasing rights to products vs owning them
I don't think that would change anything in the grand scheme of things, just make problems for owners of the affected devices. I still think he should sit on the next Starship.
Remember the time Sony literally put malware on their CDs that hacked your computer?
I haven't bought Sony products since then, and it continues to amaze me that we collectively didn't learn anything. What kind of idiot would buy anything from a company that booby-traps its products?
I mean, with their non-competes getting voided by the FTC, you’re not wrong. All of the building blocks are there for a new startup. They’d just need a few investors (who will keep their mitts off of the inner workings, unlike Elon,) willing to foot the bill.
That was my third thought as well.
That's a lot of people to band together and make Tesla's number one asset a viable stand alone company. Even if Musk doesn't want that.
Musk has been reading about all the layoffs happening at other companies who are now floundering due to the loss of institutional competence and memory, and goes "we need some of that shiat STAT!"
This is such a great point. If ChatGPT suddenly started manufacturing cars, would you purchase one? It would be like considering buying a Fisher Price phone when looking for your next cell phone.
Hey hey - the Fisher-Price phone is a classic of modern design. Beautiful, functional, and simple. It cannot be bested in it's feature categories of fun, whimsy, and delight.
Oh Tesla gets the Twitter treatment. At that rate it will be renamed X within the next 7 months. Better make sure X (formerly known as Twitter) has been terminated by then otherwise they have to sue each other...
Tesla will be renamed to "X (formerly known as Tesla)" to keep it distinct from "X (formerly known as Twitter)". Then, once all his companies have been renamed and finally merged, he'll just run X into the ground. Way more efficient than doing it for each company individually!
Musk told workers that Tesla "will continue to build out some new Supercharger locations, where critical, and finish those currently under construction."
Sounds to me like the plan is to finish what is already under contract and do no more. I sure am glad the US authorities committed to that north american charger standard... what's even the status on getting a full specification for it including third-party development at this point anyway?
I can't pull a quote for the new vehicle development team's situation because Tesla basically just keeps making the Model 3 with barely even incremental improvements to it, and even that one has totally inconsistent build quality vehicle to vehicle. Unless someone thinks the Cybertruck is going to save them -- hah.
I absolutely hate that Tesla was successful in lobbying the government to use NACS instead of CCS. You can tell that it was lobbyists because seemingly overnight, the government changed from giving grants for CCS (never owned by a single company) to only giving grants for NACS (a proprietary standard that was opened to other companies so that Tesla wouldn't have to pay to change their chargers). When the government decided to change to NACS, NACS specifications hadn't even been sent to other companies yet. A new, better CCS plug was even being developed, one that on paper could handle more than NACS.
