  • If anything i think the better comparison is you use more power watching TV or gaming than you probably will using AI in the day if you do either of those 2 things.

    The issue is training takes a lot of power, and because we can’t run the hardware locally our usage is also placed in these data centers which put pressure on a specific area instead of distributing the same power usage.

    I saw a post a couple days ago about a company etching the model weights into silicon chip and they made a 8b model that could do 16k t/s and once made are relatively cheap to produce, and in power requirements, and would only get better. Just need to make sure they can be recycled well as they’d end up on a 1 to 2 year cycle like phones. Model to chip in 60 days they said.

    So maybe that’s the future solution to distrubuted usage, but we would still need to solve training, but we could just mandate these datacenters must build their own renewable power and it would be less is everyone could run their own local inference.









  • You’re absolutely right that the earnings today doesn’t justify the stock price.

    It’s all based off future assumptions that would need to come true like dominating the AV industry and humanoid robot industry.

    There was actually a brief period in 2022 I think where the stock price was really high, but they were making more profit than other OEMs combined with a faction of the cars, and they were actually reaching what seemed like a reasonable PE ratio. Then he bought twitter, did the nazi stuff, did the Cybertruck instead of the 25k vehicle (which is now abandoned), and their vehicle growth started shrinking instead of growing.









  • It wouldn’t collapse the company, it would collapse the stock price if he tried to sell it all. The company would be mostly fine.

    His shares are in a sense, out of supply, and when there is an injection of new shares, the price goes down as there are now more shares available to be traded. Its very simple supply and demand. There’s no way he’d be able to maintain a sustained sell and have even half of what he has, unless he did it over a very long period of time. (edit: very late edit, but less than half and then he’d lose almost another half of that to taxes so maybe around 1/4 value and thats probably optimistic if done as fast as possible)

    I am pro Tesla and pro SpaceX yes. All you online folks get some much wrong about the companies, sometimes blatantly wrong, and I do try to correct people on those matters at times because you’re acting no fucking better than how the MAGA people you all think act terribly act.

    This is a good example of me probably simping according to you: https://lemmy.world/post/42908537/22057585

    You don’t have to like the companies because of who runs it, that’s fine.


  • Tesla advertised a feature of a car that failed to work in the way it was described.

    So first off, this was mainly what I was replying about and I should have probably quoted it. The car 100% worked exactly as described. Any claims about how good AP may be, go 100% out the window the moment your foot is on the accelerator and it tells you the car will not brake.

    Also I don’t think he’s ever said AP drives safer than a human, it’s humans using autopilot are safer than driving without it. It’s always because you are supervising it that it’s safer than without. It can’t even change lanes or stop for traffic lights, how on earth could that be safer than a human unless it’s with human supervision?

    Tesla wiping/causing problems getting the data should probably be it’s own case (edit brought on by the state or sanctioned by the state or whatever is possible) and doesn’t really have to do with the actual merits of this specific case IMO and whether or not they were responsible.

    The working outside of highways is really the only valid thing.

    Edit: Let me try putting this another way. Cars have airbags. Airbags are advertised safety devices. If you get into an accident and your airbag doesn’t go off and it should have, you’ll probably sue. If your Airbag warning light was on though, and you ignored it, you can fuck right off on any claims around it failing to deploy or the car not working as advertised.
