  • Elon Musk Promises Grok in Tesla Vehicles By Next Week… as the New Grok 4 Blames “Anti-White Hate” on “Jews”

  • That's the rub. Sometimes you don't know the utility of a tool until you build it. The future is weird that way.

    Who would have thought WHAT people would chat with ChatGPT about? Like, romance? WTF? That's strange, call it emergent behavior, the final utility was unexpected.

    In my head, I anticipate the tool going down the track of voice assistants from the pre-AI phase, so just like Alexa for directions or simple searches, but local to the car. Maybe unintended utilities will arise? If it can do directions and music and web searches, I guess, we don't really know what other utilities drivers will find for it yet?

    Less compute means less bandwidth to hallucinate demons in front of you on a totally unobstructed straightaway.

  • (Getting downvoted... OK :) My definition of "mildly interesting" feature may be unpopular.)

    They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.

    Nazi party is a party. Grok is making like his forbearers by just following orders

  • ^-- to my knowledge, this is accurate.

    System prompts are the easy but wildly unpredictable way to change LLM output, but we really can't back-trace or debug that output, we guess at what impact the s.p. edits will have.

  • I sort of agonized over the wording - if the system prompt is uploaded to Github, is it code, or is it documentation?

    The lines are numbered like code, and I'm used to debugging software pointing out code errors by line numbers. So, code.

    Don't worry, if you're confused, we'll all be thrown into the same chaotic soup of coding using natural language :) With vibe coding, we're probably already there and we just don't feel the ramifications yet (or the endemic unemployment in IT is the ramification and we just haven't associated the bullet wound to the loud bang yet)

    The Cybertruck windshield costs nearly 10 times as much for... reasons? Honestly don't even fucking know why. Because Elon knows an easy mark when he sees one, I guess

    Not joking. Is real. Will be replaced by a real number, they'll probably ease their way up to Uber pricing to reinforce that they are the "cheap" option, and then jack up the price (just like Uber did)

  • Literally every single Robotaxi ride has some asshole babbling throughout, glazing Elon Musk as the taxi is bouncing off curbs or dumping them when it starts raining.

    The PR play from Tesla here is really, really obnoxious.

    The worst part? It's working. Mainstream media is reporting that early rider reactions are enthusiastic, without mentioning that early riders are exclusively Tesla fandom podcasters.

  • I've noticed that, too.

    The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I'd call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.

    Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.
