100% agree. When you need this tool it is time to look for a job at another company.

Maybe it is very useful for the movie industry or something.

Serious question: are you bothered by Elon's behavior?

"Tesla was the only EV that was somewhat affordable"

I don't think this is true. For example the Nissan Leaf has always been more affordable. But the range of the first Leaf models was very low. Tesla was the first EV company that offered a range comparible to ICE cars.

I think the main reason Tesla became popular is range. The build qality has never been as good as other brands.

I use CNC machines and know how powerful stepper and servo motors are. You can ask yourself what will happen if your motor driver is controlled by an AI hallucination...

As I understand 'reasoning' is a very misleading term. As far as I can tell, AI reasoning is a step to evaluate the chosen probabilities. So maybe you will get less hallucinations but it still doesn't make AI smart.

Serious question because I am interested: why do you say it is nowhere near as good as the latest FSD?

We still see movies of the latest FSD crashing into stationary objects. So I wonder how Comma compares to other camera-only-systems.

I never understood why people think Musk is some kind of genius man.

He absolutely is a very good salesman and marketeer but that's about it. Everything he sold that was successful was created by others. The moment he starts to interfere things go wrong. The Cybertruck is a great example.

It is also known that people at SpaceX hate it when he is around telling people what to do because most of it doesn't make sense.

Now he is in politics it becomes clear to a lot of people who he really is. A greedy salesman.

Canada cancelled a $100M Starlink deal. So $22B also seems like an extreme amount.

Other news sites say Slim was willing to invest 22B in better communications. So maybe Starlink was a part of this investment but I have a hard time believing Musk lost a $22B deal.

You assume the battery conditions stay the same.

But what if the battery heats up a lot during a climb and is still hot while going down? It is know batteries charge slow when they are hot.

As far as I know all cheap drone tech is provided by China (to both Russia and Ukraine).

As search engine LLMs are nice. But for code generation they are not. Everytime it generates code there are small bugs that I don't notice directly but will bite me later.

For example a peace of code with a foreach loop that uses the collection name inside the loop instead of the item name.

Or a very nice looking peace of code but with a method call that does not exist in the used library.

I think the weakness of AI/LMMs is that it outputs probabilities. If the code you request is very common than it will probably generate good code. But that's about it. It can not reason about code (it maybe can 'reason' about the probability of the generated answer).
