Leadership starts literally shitting in each other's mouths in public. Instead of everyone being shocked people start talking about how it could be beneficial to one's gut flora.

Fourteen groups say they are leaving the platform, including the Union for Reform Judaism, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, Keshet, Mazon, T’ruah, and the Workers Circle.

“X has become a platform that promotes hate, antisemitism, and societal division,” the groups say in a joint statement. “Under the leadership of Elon Musk, X has reduced content moderation, promoted white supremacists, and re-platformed purveyors of conspiracy theories. Musk himself has re-posted content that is antisemitic and xenophobic, promoting it to his millions of followers.”

Yep… I’m stuck on FSD 12.5 because I have hardware 3.  Will have to get a hardware upgrade to get the newer versions.  Will be no cost to me, but will have to wait until it’s available.  Who knows when that will be.

This started in 2000.

Calling out “elites” who thought they were smarter than other people. It was a successful PR strategy.

It has grown over the last 25 years.

Shit, it really is happening.

https://www.kxan.com/traffic/transportation/tesla-to-launch-self-driving-paid-service-in-austin-this-year/

  Quote

Tesla is planning on launching a self-driving paid service in Austin later this year, CEO Elon Musk confirmed in a Tesla earnings call Wednesday.

Musk said the “unsupervised full self-driving” service will roll out in the Texas capital in June. Musk said at a prior earnings call the self-driving service would begin in both California and Texas later this year, according to reporting from electric vehicle and Tesla news outlet Electrek

Expand  
  Quote

The city of Austin confirmed Wednesday evening the Austin-based EV company has been in contact with city officials on the planned service. Tesla connected with the city of Austin’s Autonomous Vehicle Task Force, which incorporates multiple city departments, a spokesperson for the Austin Transportation and Public Works Department confirmed.

“The City treats each AV company that expresses interest in Austin the same, offering training opportunities and providing uniform information,” the spokesperson added.

Expand  
  Quote

“Although cities in Texas cannot regulate AVs, Austin has worked with Autonomous Vehicle companies as they enter the market to offer staff’s knowledge on the local transportation network to help AVs operate more safely,” the spokesperson said.”

That regulatory jurisdiction lies with the state government, following the Texas Legislature’s passing of Senate Bill 2205 in 2017. That legislation made “rules uniform for AVs across the state,” with regulatory powers reserved for the state government, per city documents.

Expand  
  Quote

The following AV companies are currently operating in some capacity in Austin:

  • ADMT: owned by Volkswagen and currently in the testing phase
  • AVRide: owned by AVRide INc. and currently in the testing phase
  • Motional: owned by Hyundai and currently in the mapping phase
  • Waymo: owned by Alphabet and currently in the deployment phase
  • Zoox: owned by Amazon and currently in the testing phase

Among those, Waymo is poised to launch its collaboration with ride-hailing service Uber early this year as part of a planned deployment in a few national markets, including Atlanta.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out
 

  Quote

The Federal Aviation Administration is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out.

Michael Whitaker stepped down as FAA administrator on January 20th, the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, after clashing with Elon Musk, whose company SpaceX is regulated by the agency. Musk publicly called on Whitaker to resign after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes. And now the power vacuum at the agency is coming into sharp focus after an Army helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet Wednesday evening in Washington, DC, killing everyone on board.

Expand  

 

  Quote

At a press conference Thursday with rescue officials, newly confirmed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ignored reporters’ questions about whether the FAA had an acting director in place to help manage the crisis.

Whitaker was only a year into the job when he announced his intention to step down. He had several years left in his term. His resignation clears the way for President Donald Trump to name his own replacement to run the agency. Later Thursday morning, Trump said he was tapping Chris Rocheleau, a top executive for an aviation business association, as acting FAA administrator, but provided no details about a permanent replacement.

Boulder police have confirmed that a bomb threat made last week on Pearl Street was targeted at The Kitchen American Bistro, a restaurant co-owned by Kimbal Musk, the brother of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.

According to police spokeswoman Dionne Waugh, the Jan. 23 threat, of which the details were unknown to Waugh, was made via phone to the restaurant at 1039 Pearl Street.

Waugh said out of an abundance of caution, several streets were closed nearby while law enforcement investigated but nothing was found.

Go drive around west campus.  Between the Lambos, the scooters, and the driverless cars you are taking your well-being in your hands.

I've seen Waymo cars a lot driving through my area, basically every day, and none of them have acted weird/dangerous.

I can't wait to see what happens when Leon unleashes Teslas.  If it's anything like his robots, he'll probably have humans driving them remotely.

It's been a minute (since we moved our kid in in August and hit up a game in September), but I quickly develop a very fuck-you attitude (with appropriate yielding to pedestrians became I'm not a monster) when driving on W. Campus.

 

/also, say WAMPUS to me and I'll fight you.  That sounds like a snow monster from ESB and is only slightly worse than SOCO

Idk if you're in East Austin but there's a shitload of them all in the neighborhood. They used to freak me out a bit because I occasionally run through the neighborhood, and a little doubt would cross my mind that they'd stop to let me cross or get too close to me to pass me if I'm on the road, but they've been fine. Still kinda freak me out because they park behind the cemetery that's across MLK from Disch-Falk and just wait there often. On 14th st.
