Good article! Thanks for the archive link. Amazing that this type of shady shit which Tesla is doing is likewise behind a paywalled source where people can’t get this information as easily.

Inside a Starbucks near the Miami airport, the plaintiffs’ attorneys watched as greentheonly fired up his ThinkPad computer and plugged in a flash drive containing a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit’s contents. Within minutes, he found key data that was marked for deletion — along with confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot within moments of the crash — proving the critical information should have actually been accessible all along.

The attorneys high-fived behind him.

Basically too, Tesla has also tried to delete the data again by powering up the unit from the crash, which would have ‘updated’ the device and conveniently removed data. How STRANGE it maintains this behavior… especially for collision snapshots.

Tesla is actively harming people, lying about it, and using shitty tactics to avoid any responsibility for it. Just like its daddy, Elon.

Seriously. This is so fucked yo. I’m NEVER EVER going to buy Tesla.

OCR was more my thinking, not Pandoc. LLMs enable OCR to achieve greater accuracy through context enhancement for example.

I would argue we have seen return. Documentation is easier. Tools for PDF, Markdown have increased in efficacy. Coding alone has lowered the barrier to bringing building blocks and some understanding to the masses. If we could hitch this with trusted and solid LLM data, it makes a lot of things easier for many people. Translation is another.

I find it very hard to believe 95% got ZERO benefit. We’re still benefiting and it’s forcing a lot of change (in the real world). Example, more power use? More renewable energy, and even (yes safe) nuclear is expanding. Energy storage is next.

These ‘AI’ (broadly used) tools will also get better and improve the interface between physical and digital. This will become ubiquitous, and we’ll forget we couldn’t just ‘talk’ to computers so easily.

I’ll end with, I don’t say ‘AI’ is an overblown and overused and overutilized buzzword everywhere these days. I can’t say about bubbles and shit either. But what I see is a lot of smart people making LLMs and related technologies more efficient, more powerful, and is trickling into many areas of software alone. It’s easier to review code, participate, etc. Literal papers are published constantly about how they find new and better and more efficient ways to do things.

I’m. So. Reassured.

What prevents them from getting bigger and doing the same thing. This cycle of sadomasochism needs to stop at the root cause.

Well, I don’t want to credit tumor, oop typo for Trump but I’ll allow it. So tumor and vance.

It was more that Encryption is constantly under threat. I don’t know how that gets downvoted.

Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.

The only good thing the Trump admin JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.

Yes it sucks. And it’s not the only one. I’ve recently been seeing scam ‘official site’ of a real site. Then in another occasion it was looking for a product. I couldn’t remember if it was just .com or .net. The product was not even within the first two pages of results.

I also tried DuckDuckGo.

Meanwhile I tried Kagi, first result for both, each time. I was swapping to Linux and didn’t have my Kagi login handy at the time. Anyway

It’s a HUGE difference today in search. To find what you need through all this other extra shit. Good Search is more important now than ever imho.

Maybe the problem is the advertisers and not the consumers. Jeeeesus.

Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

You make fair points. I shouldn’t jest so carelessly. I don’t think it’s just Obama either though. Past administrations have all had hands toward what we have today.

That said; I do think you’re right really. Which also kinda makes me sad. I wish we had some real leadership, and actually hope 😅

We end up with a remixed reality of ‘King Ralph’ instead. Every day with Trump is eating away at whatever hope for some kind of check and balance to occur. It’s disheartening to feel so powerless in the face of such a FUBAR-POTUS clown show in the chainsaw wielding circus.

Anyway! Back to masking it 🎭

Wow. This guy hates Obama lol.

I also don’t trust these. There is very little regulation and protection. Case in point.

Yeah you echo my thoughts actually. That efficiency could be found in multiple areas, including deepseek. That perhaps too that some other political things may be a bit more uncertain.

Put it on Facebook! Ol’ Zuck decided all the guardrails pretty much needed to go so. Post and do whatever. Plus, the people who should see it most are those still hanging around on Facebook 🤣

I then misunderstood frankly. Thanks!

I just didn’t want to see these new things turning right back into Twitter or Insta etc.

Fuck Bluesky. Fuck algorithmic feeds. I am proven wrong… This article is actually quite great and worth the read. Ignore my ignorant first knee jerk comment, and learn from my mistake 🤡

If this is what it took they were just lazy before. This has been CLEARLY where he is pushing things for a long time now. Twitter is in the Xhitter.
