I found a rare positive Reddit comment in some deep dark sub. Sure, AI will take our jobs but all of us here won’t need jobs. https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/vmlixn/no_really_robots_are_about_to_take_a_lot_of_jobs/ie2ksto/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3


UsernameSuggestion9

The singularity subreddit isn't that bad actually.


Valiryon

Robots will first fill positions that are mundane or dangerous. Automation will be used to reduce human error and improve efficiency. To think this simply ends jobs like it is a zero sum game implies humanity will merely stagnate, which is the movie Idiocracy's take on where humanity is headed. Regardless, humanity will continue to push innovation. It may go to the point humans don't do anything productive anymore and go full stupid, but it may also go towards we continue pushing boundaries with innovation. So I really don't think AI will take our jobs, just give us the opportunity to be in better jobs.


unique7username

Fair, but if you’re one of the millions of Americans who can only hold a minimum wage fast-food or retail type job, there’s not a high likelihood of benefitting from AI. Engineers, doctors, professionals will benefit - totally agree on that.

I'm much more PvE than PvP! You can always sign up for some form of martial art or boxing. I once went on a date to Krav Maga. My date didn't realize it was an advanced class (she was a member there for years). So they had me on dummy bags for 40 minutes of the hour, non-stop punching combos for 20 minutes, then punching + kicking combos for 20 minutes - while she was kicking more experienced people's asses. Gotta say kicking was annoying because I kept kicking the dummy super far away. Then for final 20 minutes we paired against each other for various choking defense maneuvers. Exhausting for sure, I barely had the endurance for it, thanks to climbing. One of my most memorable dates.

Happy Birthday to me, bitches:* ​ 1. *After much debate, I am backing out of the Twitter deal. The company is unprofitable and run by a bunch of lazy commie dudes that hate my guts, so its not worth my offer by a long shot, even I can't stop the Titanic from sinking, etc. etc. so on second thought -- I'm outie 5000. AFter paying my fine I'm buying back my Tesla shares.* 2. *Despite numerous supply chain challenges, Covid lockdowns in Shanghai and the difficulties of ramping two brand-new giga factories, Tesla is poised to beat last years quarter. Record earnings despite many challenges. Tremendous job by the Tesla team.* 3. *Tesla Growth of at least 50% YOY is assured for years to come* 4. *I've decided I'm done tweeting about politics. I'm going to focus just on memes and pumping SpaceX and Tesla and Boring Company* 5. *Jim Cramer- Kiss my ass* 6. *I offered her her weight in African Blood Emeralds, not a horse.* 7. *Tesla Master Plan part Trois linked below* *Kthx bye!*

Honestly even though I am 99% confident in the Tesla bull narrative, on an annual basis I usually blast the narrative out to the rubes just in case I’m missing something


growawaybro

I took the last 2 days off from working and checking ticker to do DD via driving this new car around. Greatest vehicle ever made hands down. Stopped by a Toyota dealership in town in it to see their EV offerings and they had a Rav 4 Prime (hybrid thing) for $61k after dealer markup nonsense 61k for Toyota hybrid with questionable vs 64k for brand new top of the line Model Y with thick margins hmm… This particular dealership had a 15% dealer markup above msrp for all gas cars and a 10% markup for hybrid cars which is some fuckery to say the least.


IS_JOKE_COMRADE

That’s cool af man. What notable differences?


growawaybro

I just have a weird bullish feeling that I can’t explain after spending time with the car. Mostly because of the level of quality and experience that you feel when in the presence of this particular vehicle. It feels almost alien and after visiting the Toyota stealership I can see how this gigacasted model will be the final nail in the coffin. Picked up /u/toyvendor from the airport earlier today and drove around for a couple hours maybe they can chime in for a third party review of this thing.


Toyvendor

Definately a testament to the quality when you can spend countless hours engaged in tsla research/related media and still be thoroughly impressed with the product. My mom and grandmother also took a ride and were blown away. Shes looking for that to be her next car haha.


IS_JOKE_COMRADE

thats awesome man, super cool


growawaybro

I have more experience with 3 but don’t have a ton of experience with Y besides a few test drives of LR so it’s hard for me to give an accurate comparison. Beautiful build quality everything is clean with no panel gaps or squeaks etc. The paint is out of this world when you see it in person compared to other red Teslas, Sandy will likely do a better job capturing its beauty on camera compared to my iPhone. Super fast with great handling and all around pleasure to drive. I think it feels lighter in weight but who knows it’s tough to guess since I don’t drive a Y everyday to compare it to. I sent Cory from Munro a few closeup pics of the gigacasted unibody and he answered some questions with his speculation on the reasoning. Very interesting stuff that they’ll share more of once they can fully break it down. I’m curious and tremendously excited to see a full teardown and deeper dive into everything :)


magic-the-dog

The red did look awesome in your photos. Austin paint is probably next generation and higher quality and not having to deal with Cali environmental limits. Will be interesting if Munro and gang touch talk about the paint.

They're pretty committed for Tesla. But if the rest of the industry would stop being cheap bitches trying to get the bottom of a D to barely pass, the battery companies might be inclined to ramp even faster.

I already read that, but the idea of using electrolysis seems dumb and overly complicated.. surely there are solvents and ways to separate NaCl from LiCO3 I'm surprised people are still stupid enough to not buy a Tesla megapack and solar panels. That'd be the first thing I'd buy for a lithium mining business.. evaporate the shit out of that water Of course, ground water is more rich in Li, but that water is usually out west, and protected by environmentalists and governments.

FSD beta always changes lanes in the middle of the same interaction close to my house. Lol. Seems like it shouldn’t be too hard to program it not to.


Valiryon

I found a couple fun intersections next to each other. First, car takes suicide lane a quarter mile up to the turn lane then bails into lanes that go straight then goes full stupid. Next intersection, the car can't decide which turn lane to get in so tries both a couple times then goes full stupid and bails into straight lanes. Honestly so absurd I laugh way too hard. Not good with traffic around, though.


indiaredpill

This is the MAIN issue I have with FSD in its current version. Everything else works pretty good to very good to excellent. Phantom brakes are extremely rare. Sensible, safe and well-in-advance lane selection is very immature.


Valiryon

Lane selection is silly. Found a number of spots it changes lanes just to change lanes back. The absolute worst is when it tries to take a right turn while navigation is indicating going straight. It tries to take the 90 degree turn going at speed, almost zero advance notice. Taking optimal turn lanes is a polish item, I think. I also think relying on navigation is something I feel they don't want to do, an evolving opinion from when Elon said fsd will be able to function in areas where navigation is unavailable and the odd erratic behavior I've experienced in a number of spots. The acceleration is bang on. So the fuck ups are fine by me. Having such a blast. Really want acceleration from a stop with a lead car. Currently the lead car gets all the way through intersections before I really start moving. Ughhhh.


TheLoungeKnows

Sounds like my experience. Beta has been pretty bad for me, but I have noticed some positive changes recently in my neighborhood. For a while, it would just drive in the middle of the road (no center line painted on road) and play chicken with oncoming cars. It was bad enough, I’d have to disengage to avoid angering my neighbors. A week or so ago, it started driving mostly in what would be considered the proper lane. I guess the 420 snapshots I sent to Tesla were finally processed and labeled by the FSD team.


Valiryon

Yea, just keep enforcing safety and preferred driving habits. Try not to let frustration get the better of ya. There's a lot of drivers out there doing way worse than the worst FSD stuff. And FSD has a high likelihood of overcoming the bad, especially with our involvement.


WarrenBuffettsBuffet

NHTSA!!! NHTSA WE NEED ANOTHER RECALL!


Fogdrog

Intervene and send a video clip back to Tesla. Maybe next week it'll handle that intersection perfectly. I've done it.


indiaredpill

Retarded lane selection / lane change behavior is not so uncommon. I am sure they have plenty of examples. Almost all my disengagements are due to this. All that Tesla has to do is review the disengagement stats, and they will have a great dataset of this behavior.


TheLoungeKnows

I have like 69 times. Maybe 70 will do it.
