I’ve never seen this before, it’s fantastic lol
You’ve … Seen the original right
It’s fucken vintage. Pretty sure it was being passed around IRC chats, but I ain’t quite old enough to know.
How the fuck did I never see this. I was gaming on BBS’s and 300baud modems.
Yeah Usenet then IRC. Never saw it on a BBS.
I don’t think there were gifs back then when I was on BBS’s, that was more just a reference to how long I’ve been using the internet and pre internet things.
I didn’t spend a lot of time on usenet though, but I did spend some.
More IRC than usenet
It was probably bouncing around as in jokes manually passed thing back in the day. Then sometime in the early 00s late 90s it broke containment and spread memetically on forums, at least that seems to be what happened from what I can find.
Lol. Lmao, even. Pay every month to put yourself in mortal danger.
Now who here has bought themselves a taxicab?
If I were in the market for an EV, I would pay extra to not have any OTA software controlled linked to my steering and brakes, let alone anything connected in any way to Elon the Nazi.
It already was? I mean, you could also choose to just buy it but both options were available. Title should be “Tesla removes option to purchase FSD”.
🤣🤣🤣
FSD, which starts at $99 per month, is key to the future of the company as Musk tries to establish Tesla as a leader in autonomous mobility. The one-time price was $8,000.
Real “Heads-I-Win” / “Tails-You-Lose” game Tesla drivers are playing. $8k is around 6.5 years of monthly payments. Not exactly a great deal, especially when Tesla heavily subsidies existing owners to trade up to a newer model every 2-4 years in order to boost their own sales figures. But the phrase “starts at” is the financial equivalent of a hand grenade. You know its going to blow up on you. Just a matter of when.
And with the dubious safety of these new fully-autonomous vehicles…
Higher Crash Rates in Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) vs. Traditional Cars
AVs in California experienced 26.3 crashes per million miles in 2022—dramatically higher than the 0.7 per million miles for human-driven vehicles.
One has to wonder what this will do to car insurance rates in the near future, as more of these vehicles hit the road.
So now people can pay for the privilege of being killed when the AI does crazy shit, causes and accident, and they burn to death because the analog door release is buried somewhere nearly impossible to access.
This is an admission that HW4 will not be sufficient. If you bought FSD, they will have to upgrade your hardware whenifer they declare it “autonomous”.
It also limits the refunds they may have to issue in California.
I was driving a model Y the other day and it thought the car in front had its left rear turning indicator on when it didn’t. That coupled with my daughter saying that lane keeping is really scary where multiple lanes merge and the lines are all over the place.
