‘Tesla is now worth more than the next nine largest carmakers in the world put together.’

No it is not. Not even close. Tesla’s market cap is larger but they sell less cars. And judging by their downward spiral, that won’t w for long.


Their automatic driving features are ahead of other manufacturers and I think that's why people are betting on it. There's a reason market cap is high. Whether that's a good reason, or not, nobody knows. But it's not an educated take to ignore it entirely.

We do know. It's a meme stock. High retail investor participation, a cult following, and constant pumping on the social network formerly known as Twitter.

I’m no fan of Musk, but I do like the idea of a large fleet of Cybercabs available to summon when needed. It could possibly replace the need to own or lease a vehicle.

Most days, I drive to work and my car sits there until I drive home. I pay about $15 per day for this, not to mention gas and tolls, etc.

Can this be replaced by Cybercabs? Can the cost be reduced by carpooling in them? Would cities react by pushing this type of carpool, at least in crowded areas?

A lot of opportunity here.


Yes, nothing wrong with the concept. Implementation is the stumbling block.

This is pretty wild and shows an about-turn for sexual harassment rules in the workplace. You object to being exposed to sexual content in the workplace? That's sexual discrimination!!!

US Government Deploys Elon Musk’s Grok as Nutrition Bot, Where It Immediately Gives Advice for Rectal Use of Vegetables


There’s an ever-growing movement of physical media collectors online. They’re interesting to watch because they seem to buy pretty much anything. $80 for a 4K release of super-flop Tank Girl? Sure.

It seems more of an obsession than simply buying the films you like. And they’re pretty defensive about it. One collector spent decades building a massive collection, and almost as long railing against streaming and claiming his physical collection would outlast Netflix… that was until his home burned down in the California wildfires last year.


I’m not particularly interested in building physical collections, but I have a great appreciation for physical media that’s aesthetically pleasing like the old big box PC games from the ’80s and ’90s.

that teaches a lesson...keep a backup of physical media or subscribe to netflix

Related: A researcher for Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, warned executives at the tech giant that there may be upward of 500,000 cases of sexual exploitation of minors per day on the social media platforms.

Who needs the dark web when Meta exists and is protected by the US government?

Edit: downvotes? Lol


That headline seems like a stretch after reading the article (Fox after all)

> sexually inappropriate messages were sent to "~500k victims per DAY in English markets only."

This sounds like a total count of unsolicited sexual messages sent to all users every day.

Unbelievable. I mean, believable.. but WTF?

I always need to contextualize these numbers:

- there are 2.4B under 18 globally

- which means 500k is 0.02% of all children

- or around 1 in 5000 children globally, per day

- if evenly distributed (which is unlikely), then roughly 7-8% of all kids would feature in Meta exploitation yearly

That suggests very high reoccurrence; but even reoccurrence suggests the total rate remains quite high. A reoccurrence rate of 100x would suggest that roughly 1 in 1000 kids is exploited on Meta, yearly.

Anyway, disturbing.


TBF these easily could be cases of Meta protecting the US government rather than vice versa.

Let me get this right: a man who was an intravenous heroin addict for over a decade, and who recently claimed to be unafraid of germs because he did cocaine off of toilet seats, is giving health advice to Americans, promoting red meat, a well-known cause of cancer, and raw milk, a significant risk to the health of anyone who consumes it.

Pass.


Turn your models toward the direction of the hallucinations.

Factoring in the 2-4% failure rate of condoms, due to break or slip-off, that would be 6-12,000 of the 300,000 total. Add another 750 for manufacturer defect rate of 0.25%.

How does this differ from the US threatening to block TikTok then talking up the US-version that banned criticism of Trump and mentions of Epstein?
