Im highly skeptical of Elon, but the reality is, people I didn’t want having this data already have it, and I trust the govt less than I do Elon, sooo 🤷

I’d rather this information come out instead of just continuing the status quo.

Guys, let’s make a nostr job board and call it zaprecruiter

This was a great rip.

I’m not of a huge fan of AI. Primarily because the people doing the majority of the development are technocrats who will use it to do evil. This podcast seems to illustrate that.

However, it seems rooting for its advancement is a losing strategy.

Elon and Trump leveraging AI to highlight all of this corruption may be one of the first times these models have been used for massive good. All tech is neutral, it’s just in how you use it. I’m hopeful for what could come of all this, but I don’t trust Elon or Trump. However, this stuff getting exposed is far better than doing nothing.

Damn do fiat normies love meetings. When tf does anyone do any actual work??

Oh absolutely. Newer gas engine cars sound like a nightmare to work on at times

I really enjoy cars. I like to watch YT videos of random car stuff. I really like watching Doug Demuro in particular.

The other day I was watching him on a podcast and he was saying EV’s are great because they’re very reliable. They’re essentially just batteries, brakes, and tires. Which, on its face, is true.

However, what I don’t think most people realize is that EVs are at their core, software products. All of the complexity is hidden away from everyday use.

My job is literally to read code all day, find flaws, exploit those flaws, and make suggestions to fix them. Most people don’t realize how it’s almost impossible to write perfect code that works 100% of the time.

My wife and I bought a VW EV a few years back and it was the 2nd least reliable car (first was my 1989 Nissan Pulsar 🤣) I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned more than a dozen cars (honestly lost count).

When our VW broke down, there was literally nothing I could do to fix it. It’s not like a typical computer where I can crack open a terminal and run some commands. It was just a giant brick stuck in my garage and I was at the total mercy of VW.

At least with a gas powered car, I can fairly easily learn to diagnose the issue, find parts locally, and pull up a YT video to fix it.

There are so many things today that are made to be impossible for a normal person to fix. And cars are so crucial to individual freedom, we just can’t let manufacturers take total control.

So, in short, anyone working on an open source car? 😅

If it picks up momentum, I’m definitely asking my cpa about it lol
