      You may still die from falling debris of some air safety armed drone. Rapid safety upgrades are like that, accidents happen

    Just like we’ll have “full self driving this year” for 10 years running?

    Elon Musk is a fucking moron who happened to stumble upon brilliant engineers who actually do meaningful work. Unfortunately for him he’s fired or burned through nearly all of them which is why Twitter is bleeding cash and Tesla hasn’t released anything interesting in 5 years.

      Hey they regularly update the ability to make your vehicle into an expensive whoopie cushion. If that isn’t interesting I don’t know what is.

      That’s not true. I can think of a quick change that will greatly improve air safety: ground every single plane, effective immediately.

      Would it affect my upcoming vacation? Yes. But would it work? Yes.

        Good thing they saved us a bunch of money by shutting everything down then. They can spend the pentagons sushi budget on quickly training some safe operators.

    Like to Tesla FSD systems, right? Slap a couple patches on there? Cut off a split second before it hits parked ambulances on the interstate so it’s technically not responsible?

      Every single action that he does even if it only takes a day to undo took decades to get implemented. Will probably take just as long to get it back.

    Im going to stress that this is entirely hypothetical but I think that its possible that all of this insane behavior COULD be so they can make some sweeping changes and efficiency measures and just have people glad that what they do is so much better than what they said they were going to do.

    There was a period at my work where they came through talking about 1 in 4 job losses and overtime bans… etc. 3 months later they overhauled the job, we work a little harder and the restructuring was wildly unnpopular, but the only jobs that were lost were some early retirements and existing vacancies. So yeah it sucked, but a whole lot less that their first threats.

        Oh fuck right off, does Lemmy actually want to have discussions about anything or should we just take turns screaming “Fuck Trump” and “Fuck Musk” like Daffy and Bugs doing Rabbit season/Duck season?

        This week “The only way Canada can avoid these tarriffs is to become the 51st state” literally 48 hours later they are on hold for 30 days while they find an alternative and that happened this week. He talks massive and fucking nuts and then backs off to merely unreasonable and a bit crazy. He still gets to push his agenda in the direction he wants (which I do NOT think is anything good) and no small amount of people will just be glad he didnt go with the first option and the most gullible will be grateful.

          Dude, you literally said you have to do more work for the same pay because someone who is paid way more than you fucked up, but it wasn’t as bad as what that overpaid fuckup said it could’ve been, so yay. And this is why you’re hoping the fascists in charge aren’t going to step on your neck too hard.

          Lick into the tread now, you like the dirt in there. Good little sub.
