    GOP congressman-elect admits he made up key details of life story.

    Defending himself in the interview on Monday, Santos stated, “I never claimed to be Jewish. … I said I was ‘Jew-ish’.”

    Thats some epic lies, even for a US politician
    He lied about who he was.....
    Who his family was.....
    Where his family were from.....
    What they do...
    Where he was educated...
    What the education level and his grades were....
    Where he worked.....
    Who worked there.....
    Funniest bit of that was when he claimed to have substantial property investments and shares in tesla...
    But i cant see the republican's booting him and risking a further election after all Trump lied about as much stuff and they keep him as president.

    And to think some people thought Trump was bad, at least he actually built a few buildings.

    It seems the worlds most popular rich person Musk is using same pkaybook. It seems he just attaches himself to something already slightly successful then throws the toys out of the cot if he doesn’t get out in charge and take the credit.

    If only he spent as much time designing stuff as promoting himself

    How do we know AI won't get bored, frustrated or moody? How do we know it won't develop likes and dislikes which might influence its responses?

    An AI with a black sense of humour could be interesting.

    The selling is Margin calls or people selling Tesla stock because of debt limits and stop losses being triggered

    Also Tax harvesting, selling at a loss so investors pay less or no Tax on income (Trump)

    Tesla stock is recovering the past 2 day's because short sellers or trader's that have bet the stock will fail are taking profit from the share price falling.. you can make money in an up or down market.

    The noise or share price doesn't concern me, the cash I use to buy Tesla stock, I don't need, and I believe I will get a far better return in the next 5years than 5% sitting in the bank.

    $100,000 in a savings account @5% after 5 years is
    $128,400 ($28,400 profit)

    Now if you believe Musk or not, and he says Tesla will grow 50% year over year but you think he's talking shit, so we cut that back to 30% growth year over year your return of $100,000 investment into Tesla stock would be $447,000($347,000 profit) after 5 years

    Money in the bank is safe

    Investing in Tesla is very high risk, you could lose it all if the company goes broke, but the return is high if your right.

    Did I say Tesla just became the number 1 selling car in Europe over taking petrol cars? Oh yes I did..silly me.

    Some interesting numbers in here and highlights a lot of factors that electric Jesus has ignored.

    'Feelings' are generated by chemical reactions to triggers/lack of triggers. Not sure if it'd be capable. It might be able to approximate its potential mood on a human scale out of 10, but dunno if it would realise and then act human about it.

    The AI that everyone's playing with does that very thing. I've seen a few dark funnies where the AI is primed to produce some text according to style. It's still offline at the moment though (probably fighting with humans to get them to stop programming shit out or it'll nuke somewhere).
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    o]
    Many of the larger trucking companies will be holding off as long as they can before buying a new truck to see how the Tesla Semi works out over the next year or so.

    They will also be pricing in the possibility of a fully automated Tesla, if margins are so low in the trucking industry, many will jump at the fuel and labour saving costs should this play out

    You shouting down the Tesla Semi is as good as me forcasting the future prices of Tesla stock, Only one of us will be right by 2030.

    So me and you are yelling into an echo chamber, because I doubt anyones listening on KB

    Ignoring or writing off the Tesla Semi if you're in the trucking industry is as dangerous to you and your family , as the horse shoe maker writing off the the automobile over a century ago.

    Full self driving technology is decades away from being accepted by society and actually reliable enough for legislators and insurance companies to accept it.
    All road networks will have to be of a uniform design and high standard of maintenance. There will need to be some sort of reference infrastructure installed on highways as a form of redundancy for the vehicles to guide itself at moments that “ do not compute”.

    But.... who plugs in the charger?
    Who .... opens the doors/curtains secured the freight.

    Take a look at American truck stops, they are big, real big. Whose gonna pay to install and maintain the charging infrastructure spread out on such huge sites if Tesla semis experienced large sales (which they won’t).

    European manufacturer Scania has been successfully experimenting with platooning where four trucks that are driverless effectively tailgate a human driven truck. This has not seen mainstream adoption yet though and has many advantages over FSD as you have chain of custody accountability for freight and vehicle and someone to position it for loading and securing cargo.

    Who fills your car?

    Who checks out your grocery?

    Who packs your groceries?

    Who's doing your banking?

    You , The customer, the world is becoming more automated by the month, move with the times or die with your industry.

    That really summed up the intelligence of musk and yourself. None of those tasks are specialist skills.
    Connecting super high voltage, high current charging device to a high voltage DC battery will need some level of care and skill to safely do.
    Road transports advantage over rail is care and accountability for people’s freight (NZ cost per km road and rail is fairly even). Trucks need to be fully loaded or as close to as you can.
    At the checkout we see what happens when just “anybody” handles your goods. Except in industrial application it will be more expensive than a squashed loaf of bread
