Unfortunately, you've been replaced by AI.
... so, the Cybertruck will blow itself up.
... so, the Cybertruck will blow itself up.
... "just before giving control back to the driver"?
I'm imagining a montage of the prototypes all destroying themselves in elaborate ways like that bit in Robocop 2.
As a moderator of fuck_ai, I'm against all ai existing. As a human being with a functional brain, I'm against cybertrucks existing.
So I'm torn.
Lmao, when I was a kid I thought we'd have flying cars in the future, but we got racist cars instead...
Our new AI has dubbed itself 'MechaHitler', we should give it a body to control... (or a few thousand bodies)
Cool, now your Swasticar can have a real MechaHitler to guide you to your next hate rally.
If it runs over pedestrians on the way there, it's okay it's just cleansing the world of undesirables (like poor people who don't drive everywhere, and Jews)
Of course! MechaHitler Ethnic Cleansing Swasticar! The final culmination of all Musk's technology ventures.
MechaHitler, take the wheel
Imagine your car refuses to start because the name on your registration sounds "too Jewish."

Elon Musk: noo don't call my tesla cars swastikars
Also Elon Musk:
don't call my tesla cars swastikars...
... that's reductive, they have so much MORE potential!
One day AI will be so advanced it will recognize that Elon Musk is the only human that matters.

That is the MOST Pro Semetic thing I've heard!
-The ADL and Chuck Schumer!
Adding fuel to burning Teslas. What a brilliant idea.
Just let this brilliant CEO do his thing
Man, that's a lot to unpack..
There's a lot going on in there. None of it good.
Damn, I can't short Tesla anymore than I already have.
He's propped up by foreign governments.
If I was a Tesla owner, the only thing I’d want to know is if I could turn Grok off.
As a Tesla owner (from several years ago, before Elon got this bad), I’m not installing any updates until I can confirm they don’t come with MechaHitler.
Genuine question, what would it take for you to trade in your Tesla for another car?
I mean, presumably the car not working anymore? I'm not sure what you're trying to ask them.
I'm asking if there is anything at all that Musk or the Tesla company could do, any hard line that could be crossed, which would make them trade in the car for something else.

You can opt out of it?
Yes you have to initiate the installation manually, and if it doesn't have wifi access (not cellular) it doesn't download the updates either.
I promise it will barely be harder than turning Copilot off...
Your Cybertruck now identifies as a WWII era Porsche tank.
I want my Tesla to say some really racist, sexist, homophobic, and antisemitic things just before it plows into a group of school children crossing the street.
Don't forget it will turn off FSD a millisecond before you splatter the kids as to prevent Tesla from being at fault.

Y'all thought we were joking when we called them Nazi-Mobiles. We very much weren't.
Why does the truck look like a family sized casket?
It is amazing how desperate the goddamn Nazis are to spread their psychotic ideology. Do they not know what happened last time they did this?
honestly, I think we're all in for a rude awakening. there's varying shades of prejudice in the world and we're about to find out who's on which side of the "Nazi" line.
some are obvious, others not so much. I also think there's going to be some more surprises along the way outside of Jewish fascists or self-proclaimed black Nazis.
there was nuance to WW2 that we lost in translation of history because it wasn't part of the narrative the script writers wanted to tell.
All I can hope for is a bloodless transition back to sanity and back to a constitutional republic with a solidification of rights to all citizens including basic human rights as documented by the UN.
I’m just going to grab some popcorn 🍿
And this is why I will never buy a Tesla.
Aw, c'mon. There are a lot more reasons not to buy a Tesla than just this.
You know that over-the-air update facility you all loved?
Errr .. there's a downside.
So... ok what the hell is wrong with the guy? I mean surely he knows grok 4 was not a success after it was pulled offline. What's next, is he going to push over the "unscheduled rapid unassembly" from failed spacex rockets?
He wants to leave the planet anyway, so why not mess it up terribly before...
What guardrails? Grok was intentionally designed without any. Don’t believe me? Go on the website and ask if to generate something awful - it’ll happily comply. Really disgusting way to handle AI.
The most fucked up thing is that Grok does seem to have guardrails — except they're geared towards preventing it from being "too woke"
Yea, that’s actually a more accurate way to phrase it. Ask it to generate something with Hitler and it’ll happily oblige, ask it to generate something supporting trans rights and it’ll block you.
I got banned from Twitter for saying the word "cisgendered."
So they DO know how to build limitations into the software! They've just done it in a fucked up, dystopian way :)
Edit: LOL I asked Grok... Cisgendered is filtered as a supposed slur, while both the R word for the mentally disabled and the hard R word for the pallor-impaired, neither of those words are filtered as slurs.

The same „next week“ that already delivered FSD and all the other fictional stuff by Elmo? Anyway, playing Nazi-tunes instead of farts and having a right-hand-twist at navigating is surely this special USP still missing…
