- Comment on Tesla faces federal probe after Model 3 slams into Texas home, killing 76-year-old 2 weeks ago:
Why do people still try to lie and say the car did it? They don’t know that literally everything the car does is recorded?
Tesla Vice President of Autopilot Ashok Elluswamy also chimed in on the incident with a response to Musk on X.
“In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal in this residential area,” he wrote. “They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.”
- Comment on Polymarket paid influencers to fake winning bets, built dummy websites to pull it off 2 weeks ago:
Next you’ll be telling me that Stake pays influencers and celebrities to gamble fake money and advertise for them without disclosing it……
- Comment on Microsoft Now Wants Users To Adopt Chinese Deepseek AI After Failure Of Copilot 2 weeks ago:
While Microsoft claims DeepSeek would be strictly optional, ring-fenced inside Azure’s enterprise security boundaries, and fine-tuned to remove political bias, the pivot has triggered immediate alarm bells in Canberra.
Sounds like the article writer doesn’t understand the difference between LLM models and a product. You can download and use a deepseek model locally, and nothing goes back to China. This is what MS are doing. They’re not integrating with the deepseek AI like they do with Claude and ChatGPT for example.
- Comment on SpaceX Shares Fall Below $150 Debut Price For First Time 2 weeks ago:
Aaaaaaaaand it was back in profit almost immediately.
- Comment on 76-year-old woman killed after a Tesla ‘on auto-pilot’ crashed into her Texas home 2 weeks ago:
Autopilot is basically cruise control. A normal car with cruise control on will do this too if you aim it at a house.
- Comment on There's never been an easier time to boycott Microsoft, the most boring video game publisher in the business 4 weeks ago:
You might want to look at their output compared to the other publishers before saying that.
- Comment on It’s Possible That SpaceX Could Collapse Spectacularly 4 weeks ago:
I guess it’s possible that Amazon, Apple, or Microsoft could collapse spectacularly…it’s just extremely unlikely.
SpaceX is likely going to be one of the most valuable and important companies in the world over the next 100 years. They are so far ahead of the rest of the world in the space game that it’s not funny.
- Comment on SpaceX has to grow 60x in a decade to justify a $1.75 trillion valuation. It's an impossible bar | Fortune 4 weeks ago:
I’m sure people said the same thing about Tesla, yet it achieved growth like that with ease.

It’s pee guys.
- Comment on Renters continue to face a tight rental market and rising costs, according to new report 3 months ago:
Shocking. More demand without more supply = higher prices.
- Comment on Man denied bail over 'reprehensible' speech at March for Australia rally 5 months ago:
Should’ve just stabbed someone with a machete instead, would’ve been home by dinner.
Insane that we live in a country where words are treated with more punishment than violence.
- Comment on Half of people arrested in London may have undiagnosed ADHD, study finds 6 months ago:
Those 2 things - people being arrested, and having ADHD - are completely irrelevant to each other. Should they also screen everyone they detain for skin cancer?
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 7 months ago:
It’s definitely not growing, so yeah.
- Comment on Ex Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating's daughter Kathrine Keating linked to Epstein in emails. 7 months ago:
If there was ANYTHING in the Epstein files that could be used against trump, don’t you think that the Democrats would have made them public when they had them and were doing everything short of assassinating Trump (oh wait…) to stop him from running for president and to beat him?
Trumps not going to be implicated in anything with Epstein. If anything it’ll only confirm that he knew he was a creep and cut all ties with him, while people like Obama and Clinton cozied up with him.

Definitely not.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 7 months ago:
That’s not happening in the USA.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 7 months ago:
By saying that about “average republicans” but neglecting to say that it’s the same for the “average democrat” you’re showing a clear bias. Both sides are controlled by the wealthy, democrats arguably more.
The Republican Party is the only one where conservatives are able to have a voice and make a modicum of progress. “Progressives” and their so called “progress” isn’t objectively good.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 7 months ago:
Classic “there’s only 1 country in the world” math.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 7 months ago:
Depends what country you’re in. I’m on far less than $400k and I pay around 40% income tax alone.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 7 months ago:
I get 18ms lag consistently on xcloud. It’s essentially not noticeable. I’ve even played online shooters on it and had no real trouble. It’s pretty amazing these days.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 7 months ago:
This ignores the fact that companies are already doing this.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 7 months ago:
I get 18ms ping to the servers ~1000km away from me on Xbox Cloud, can barely tell it’s not native.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 7 months ago:
Game streaming usage is increasing massively year on year, every year. It definitely has not been rejected, in fact it’s becoming more and more accepted.
- Comment on How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)? 7 months ago:
No homo? No, homo.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 7 months ago:
You think the average Democrat is any different? They’re not manipulated and controlled by those who are super wealthy? Lol
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 7 months ago:
When you earn $400k and lose $200k of it to taxes, you get more than a little upset.
- Comment on why are upper middle class or upper class people hated? (if they are) 7 months ago:
Jealousy and envy.
- Comment on Why is it called "overseas" even if a dispora population move to a place connected by land? 8 months ago:
It’s ……not.
