They make it to the frontpage of every major newspaper multiple times a week. I'd say that they are doing exceptionally well.

The people who are waiting for this car are waiting for a gimmick anyway. If you want a car that will take you from A to B reliably, you can buy one today.

most of the things a Tesla Roadster is advertised with is not street legal.

and wth is an "astra"?

Really cool, except the price. Around 500 Euro for the full thing... I miss the times you could make amazing things with a Pi under 100 Euro.

I wouldn't be surprised if models were optimizing for rendering SVG pelicans at this point

There are lots of other success stories too. For example there is a reason why Keytruda is the most valuable medicine globally -- it does amazing things against melanoma and lung cancer

> I'm wondering if an immortal life can be a well-lived life

Why not? It does not mean that we will be some omnipotent god. it just means that we wont age. You can still die from physical trauma, infections, cancer etc. So in practice this would mean that the average human lifespan is not say 70 years, but 120.

I'm pretty sure that humanity will eventually get to immortality (why not? We are already controlling most of our environment) but this will not be like an invention of a magic pill, rather the average lifespan will creep up by a decade or so with every generation.

Now we're at the point where we know whats actively killing you and what to avoid (we can also cure most infections and diseases)

in 30 years most cancers, and likely Alzheimers will be curable too. I'm also sure that lots of aging related conditions will be treatable too (say osteoporosis)

in 60 years we might know enough to start reversing aging effects, and fear of cancer will be a thing of the past, just like now bacterial infections.

.. and who knows when we will start to regrow limbs and fully reverse aging

The more I use AI for coding the more I realize that its a toy for vibe coding/fun projects. Its not for serious work.

When you work with a large codebase which have a very high complexity level, then the bugs put in there by AI will not worth the cost of the easily added features.

Why not? It's relevant for all tasks, and just adds 1 line

I wonder if it will lead to q civilizational collapse because kids V2 won't have kids. Even today's young adults barely have any kids.

We know that OpenAI is verz good at least in one thing: generating hype. When Sora was announced everyone thought that this will be revolutionary. Look at how it looks like in production. Same when they started floating rumours that they have some AGI prototype in their labs.

They are the Tesla of the IT world, overpromise and under deliver.

I don't think it's be cause if anxiety, it usually increases drug use not decreases.

It's much more about people ha ing less friends and socializing less

Russia is putting everything it has to the Ukrainian front since 2.5 years and signs of exhaustion are clearly visible. They have lived up their Soviet tank reserves, are offering astronomical amounts of money for soldiers, are using north Korean ammunition, huge inflation etc

Ehm instead of spending like weeks on this why not use a hardware that is meant for such applications like an ESP32?
