Pretty much every social group falls prey to these biases. It has no correlation to the education or intelligence level of the group. When there is a well known saying "science progresses one funeral at a time" you know it is unav

And it is a dumb take. As with any new technology, it has a chicken and an egg problem to overcome. Humanoid robots are developing very rapidly now that AI is progressing the way it is. It is in the same vane as 32k should be enough for any

Bad press about Tesla has been a staple since way before his political activities. It was all funded by short sellers.

by rapsey 1y ago
It is just insane how much bad press Tesla gets compared to other car makers. A lot of it huge exaggerations or lies. Tesla recalls millions of vehichles plastered on every major news site. When it is just an over the air software update. O

They are not dead, EV batteries actually last a very long time. Over here in europe there is actually a company that will repair your battery and Tesla cars are great for that.

What these things fail to take into account is the growth in the amount of money going into the stock market. Simplifying an economic activity down to a single short formula leaves out a lot of important parameters and these kinds of things

If you are worried about a stock market crash, the current AI boom is absolutely nothing compared to the dotcom boom. Also because so many companies are staying private, a crash in private markets is relatively irrelevant for the overall ec

Funny I had the exact opposite reaction to Java when I needed to use it in college. So many abstractions, forced design patterns and boilerplate. Absolute soul sucking joyless development.

A crucial factor is also availability. You can basically buy square kilometers of solar today, but if you want a gas turbine for your plant, you are on a +5yr waiting list.
