minus-square@breadsmasherlinkEnglish26•3 months agoWhat? you entirely missed the point. you are adding nuance where none is required. Tesla is a car company. Just because musk says “we are AI now” doesn’t just magically make it so. I could form a company that makes shoes. Can I suddenly announce I am an AI company? Sure, maybe I use AI in my production, and maybe even develop my own models. But its still a shoe company.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•edit-23 months agoIt is Musk saying that the company is changing focus away from making cars. You know, the reason the company exists. McDonald’s makes most of its money on real estate, not food. If the CEO said ‘we are a real estate company now’ everyone would assume that the food quality will go down.
