HACKERS CAN STEAL A TESLA MODEL S IN SECONDS BY CLONING ITS KEY FOB https://www.wired.com/story/hackers-steal-tesla-model-s-seconds-key-fob

Telsa announces the creation in real life of KITT

(Knight Industries Two Thousand)

is he fired yet

ive fired him effective immediately

He will fire himself but after a long discussion with himself, come crawling back to himself and beg for his job back

Yes, I wonder if he will go on a killing spree. Yes, I track his flights. Yes, I have spoken to some of his overnight friends. Yes, he was out of control at Burning Man. Yes, you should ask @AZEALIABANKSNYC for a quote. Buy some soap first though.

enty admitted to fabricating his stories, I'd believe Elon over him

well, s/admitted/was proven to have, but nevertheless

https://nypost.com/2012/04/01/how-crazy-days-and-nights-fooled-hollywood/

he had some good stories too tho before ~the msm~

ELon once ate with Max Tegmark, that crazy Swede! that must have been one funky night

a have a friend that listened to the whole interview and is now bemoaning that the "so-called news" is only talking about him smoking a blunt and not all his musings on robotics and AI and giant tunnels and all the other things he is constantly and publicly talking about

he's not exactly a modern day tesla more like the Bill Gates of electric cars

he's clive sinclair without the common decency to even produce a zx spectrum

elon musk test drives the new tesla c5

and clive sinlcair was man enough to embrace his baldness

shakey is there a thread where we talk about this?

(also i want de leon to run for LA mayor when he loses to feinstein)

The Energy Thread

probably best one

sometimes I wonder if the electricity used to power electric cars is dirty anyway what is the clean ness there

The first 100+ comments on the YouTube video itself are basically this. He's not a total idiot, but fuck he's got so many red flags and a clear propensity for childish distractions. What he said about AI and robotics was nothing new.

I don't understand how people accept that the technology necessary to simulate their human experience many times over is a given or that it would only not happen if the world abruptly ended in the near future.

step 1 of his simulation theory fun -- imagine any rate of improvement in computing power, gaming, etc., already seems so naive. why would you assume this shit won't roll off? but maybe I'm missing something.

and he describes the neuralink stuff as solving a bandwidth issue at the link between your mind's queries and the internet. but it seems like the speed at which my dumb brain can generate these queries will remain as a serious bottleneck? neuralink will disrupt mavis beacon typing instruction software!

bill gates was a business genius, musk seems like more of a startup guy + good at media

gates obvs more technical than musk too

'gates' also a more technical term than 'musk'

things are going great!!!!

I would have Musk pegged as a Timbuk 3 fan, their hit does seem to represent his outlook on the world

https://i.redd.it/hjo6ykhn0tl11.jpg

does this mean what I think it does

Wait, so Teslas are usually being ... throttled?

ha, exactly

its like that thing they do with video games now where all the content is on the disc but you have to pay an extra $15 to unlock some of it

'throttling' applies to changing or limiting a rate and not to changing or limiting capacity

tesla: the ea of car manufacturers

I don't know. there could be warrantied maintenance implications tied to the amount you're allowed to discharge the battery.

xp fitting tbh. he said in the Rogan interview that they've just installed an Atari emulator in the latest Tesla. god this guy is so LAME

xp that's a good point, they could just be suspending the warranty for charge/discharge greater than the maximum in the specs

"warranty penalty", sorry

another thing: 'throttling' was really only an issue in that it would favor large internet businesses over the smaller guys with less money. There's always been throttling of internet speeds for the customer based on what that customer would pay.

GET OFF THE GANJA ELON!!YOU WRECKIN YOR MIND

just gonna FP your garbage posts from now on, knock it off

what is FP

and I also don't see a problem with charging someone to unlock content that's already on the disc. The game company had to invest some resources to make the non-essential content, and they need to figure out a way to make money on that investment. Otherwise there'd just be less content. You can argue that greed makes them lock more content than they should, but the very idea of not having access to all of the content on a blu-ray you purchased isn't so outrageous. Obviously, it'd be outrageous if you had to buy the additional content to make your original base purchase worthwhile at all. But usually the consumer outrage is based on just wanting everything.

Oh "flag post" - jeez osrry dude! didn't realize you were taking offinese here :(

yes but "free supercharging" -- does this also mean they throttle the speed of electricity transfer? what is this insane world

supercharging is just what happens when you charge at one of those tesla-specific charging stations instead of via a normal outlet. It is faster, but it's faster because the charging hardware is different.

so I think they're just saying you get free electricity at their charging stations, which are always faster charging than an outlet
