Elon's "Twitter" bullshit had a microcosmic impact on Tesla's sales.

> Tesla has no plans to slash prices until their market share started dropping.

There is zero logical sense to give up margin in business when you don't need to. Especially when you dominate in the market at scale, and your top "competitor", Ford produced 1/30th the amount of EVs you made for the fiscal year.

> If the federal tax credit mattered at all they would have only selectively cut prices, instead of across the board like they have.

No, they cut prices across the board because they didn't want to play bullshit games with the IRS with random qualifications on how to get access to the tax credit. When NTSB and NHTSA both qualified the 5-seater Model Y as an SUV, but the IRS didn't and then qualified the 7-seater as one, Tesla opted to summarily slash costs at the loss of around 10% margin so that all their models would qualify for the $7500 tax credit. In addition to this, when this was done, their Model Y inventory stock pile overnight disappeared.

The data on this doesn't lie, no matter what creative gymnastics you're trying to posit on the failure of the brand. Further, Elon's "Twitter bullshit" is limited to places like here and Twitter.

The market largely does not give a fuck about Elon or who he is. This is especially true with the latest Superbowl again. When, Tesla had not a single commercial they made for it and all the other players made EV announcements and subsequently Tesla orders and Google search interest spiked.

NoA markets may be significant to some, but they don't qualify nor quantify the entire world market, and people outside of the US, largely dgaf what Elon does on Twitter. Finally, when you're about to drop 40-60k on a luxury brand, if you put a CEO shitposting on Twitter above the material value of the vehicle, it's utility, and long term impact to your day to day activities, you're insane.

It was Piers wasn't it?

Seems like it would be ridiculously cheaper to just buy 1000 ir leds for $10

>Humans don't need to be told what to do to be creative

The evidence is increasingly to the contrary.

Convenient timing to announce this. Right in the middle of their expensive Dominion lawsuit.

Your code doesn't work

AI: Fuck you

All art is derivative.

To be fair 7 years is not "beta". This should have been called Alpha or something else. And to promise is to be finished in 2019 was a blatant lie.

That 4chan hacker dude?

They completely nerfed it, now if you ask it anything that is slightly out of the ordinary it will just tell you it prefers not to continue the conversation. Pretty boring if you ask me.

The tech is so sensitive that recent deals with close Anglophone allies to share it with them made waves (gettit?). To be fair, that is "nuclear sub capability" as a generic package, though, and so surely encompasses many sensitive technologies beyond nuclear capabilities.

Though powering a nuke sub is VERY different from powering a power plant.

Yeah no. I was on the market for an BEV for 6 months. People were canceling their Tesla orders left and right due to Elons twitter bullshit. Due to the high price no new orders were coming in. You could have had a M3 in a week if you wanted during this time period. Tesla has no plans to slash prices until their market share started dropping. If the federal tax credit mattered at all they would have only selectively cut prices, instead of across the board like they have.

The same corporations which just got handed 40,000 hours of Jan 6th footage. Great!

Don't you literally click through a big dialog box telling you this when you sign up

yeah cmon guys january 6th was planted by the hackers

If they could buy an entire IT department on craigslist, they would.

What are the 'inherent problems' with solar and batteries at end of life?

Batteries are profitable to recycle, while the cost to recycle pv panels is very low.

"A computer absolutely can not create original work."

This year.

Do they threaten to kill you, hack your brain, and then steal what they forced out into public discourse?

Of the litany of violations, robbery of intellectual property theft is where we are.

> peddles videos of animal cruelty, sexual assault, torture and killing?

You realize Reddit has all of that content openly, yeah?

This isn't "skirting" anything, it's a legitimately useful tool for teens.

This seems like a real flimsy axiom to put the basis on.

Well I couldn't do anything without my parents having taken some action for me to exist, and they couldn't have done that without their parents, so is all original work actually belonging to the first semblance of life?

Or how about, my wife and I decided to buy a deck of cards for date night ideas, and one of the cards said that we should paint portraits of each other. Are the paintings original work of ours, or does that belong to the card creators who inspired us to do it?

If instructions are all that is required consider art not original work; then I really don't think we should give Michelangelo any credit for the Sistine Chapel. He was told to paint it by the Pope.

So I guess hackers lied about the election. Or maybe they were so upset they decided to tank the US government and spread election fraud lies.

I wonder how this is going to affect the stock image industry. Instead of a designer or editor have to look up and source stock photos, they’ll just get AI to generate what they need

Yeah this has been around forever, so confused to see this presented as if it's new
