I was initially skeptical about self-driving cars but I've been won over by Waymo's careful and thoughtful approach using visual cues, lidar, safety drivers and geo-fencing. That said I will never trust my life to a Tesla robotaxi

Computers were initially seen in the 60's and 70's as corporate and scientific tools. Many couldn't imagine one day we would have them in the home. Once that happened, people used computers for all sorts of non-profitable end

If you're right, then we should not use AI in elementary and high schools as a learning tool. I suspect most people think we should.

I'm a retired computer programmer. All my time is free time. I'm using AI as a cognitive amplifier. I'm learning at a much faster rate than I would without AI. I don't have to waste time doing google searches and reading

I'm sorry to hear that. Like most young people you'll probably get over it and move on with your life. You might then find in your elderly years that it all comes rushing back and you have to live it over again. ChatGPT says this

I'm a senior citizen and I use it sometimes to explain what is happening to me as I age. For example, I noticed myself doing "excessive rumination" about the long gone past, which I attributed to the near-dystopian nightmare

Musk is not threatening to take away grandma's social security in Europe so I'd be surprised if they were. They're just not buying them. 93% of Germans said after the Nazi salute they'd never buy a Tesla. Musk just built

I was thinking of world sales. Sales are up in Europe for all EVs except Tesla, which is down significantly

I'm not a moron. I don't blame Tesla car owners. I put the blame where it belongs: Elon Musk

Electric cars are doing fine. Sales are up. It's just Tesla that is going down.

Blame Elon Musk and his Nazi salutes and Hitler apologist retweets for that. It can't be much simpler to understand.

Thank you for saying this. I recently heard that story "if you let one Nazi in your bar, pretty soon you have a Nazi bar"

What would you say is the best feature of Grok? What makes it stand out? What am I missing? I use primarily ChatGPT and Claude (pay for both)

I'm positive there are great people working at X, xAI, Tesla and SpaceX who are suffering every day through no fault of their own, hoping that Musk will come to his senses. Tesla right now is an especially tragic case for those whose l

My disgust and hatred for Elon Musk prevents me from giving Grok a fair chance. I realize this is my psychological problem. I own it, but as far as I can tell, I'm not missing much.

I try to look at actions and not words. Trump/Musk have not shut off Starlink yet, but maybe this manufactured confrontation is a prelude to that? It also seems to me that Europe could adequately support Ukraine in defending itself, so

Your comment makes it sound even less appealing since I avoid getting nerd sniped by my hacker mindset and go on to topics that actually interest me

It'd be nice if there were a topic summary. What is this about? I'm not going to devote part of my day reading/watching something about chainsaws to understand what the topic is

I like it here. I've lived many different places in America. San Jose has the best weather or most suitable for me anyway

I support immigration and oppose the Republican anti-immigrant platform because it seems to me there is significant brain drain from many countries to the U.S. and that contributes to our success. For example, in this article is about white

I'm surprised at this take. It seems readily apparent that Cuban exiles want their countrymen and women to be free from state communist control and have the ability to speak their mind, practice economic freedom and their religion, whi
