That is the main change with the current government.

Previously they at least would have faked to be ashamed, now they brag about their incompetence.


So only congress can rename it. Strange that Trump has a problem with that given that the GOP holds the majority.

Aren’t they totally dependent on the good will of the model providers?

I think it's more likely the other way around. If someone is offering low friction access to your model, you don't want to piss them off.

In what way? They're just an API customer like any other and charge a bit more on top. Providers would have to carve out their usage terms to not allow resell, which does nothing besides lose customers to competitors. If they all did that then you would tap on the FTC's shoulder and suggest they do their job.

> USG spends over $900 Billion every year

If you spend $900 Billions on BS you will lose to other countries that only spend 1/100th of that.

Quantity over quality doesn’t work in science because reality doesn’t care who paid how much.


> The reason MCP isn't dead is because practically ~every company on the planet is building an MCP server.

Didn’t ~every company also jump on blockchain and NFTs?


So for every accident Tesla is 100%.

For this announcement, no.

Some caveats, this is only for the robotaxi, not any personal owned self driving. Those remain level 2. This is obviously only in Texas.

That said,fFor robotaxis, certainly for accidents that the robotaxi is deemed fully reaponsible, Tesla (or insurance?) will be liable.

Things like other vehicles, third-party interference, passenger misconduct, etc. will share or cover liability depending on the specifics.

Seems like Tesla will self insure, but that's not officially been stated yet.


“Tesla will self insure”

Wow. After all the enshittification he’s adding self-insurance to the steaming pile?

Who on earth is still buying shares in this madness and why?


Tesla has offered insurance on their vehicles since 2019, if they did self-insure the robitaxis, likely they would extend it through their existing insurance program.

That’s not even a complete sentence.

Missing one word at the end, liable.

Despite what you think about that action, it shows a real risk with high potential of severe damage.

> I am not harmed when I go through a toll plaza or an express lane.

Yet. The jewish people had no problem that the government had detailed lists including the religion. It helped the Nazis killing many jews. Total surveillance will always be abused like every other invasive law.

First it’s against child abuse and terrorist, then organized crime, then crimes like theft, then littering and jaywalking, then swearing in public


Were the lists really the problem though?

Or was it the Genocidal Intent?

The first mass killings, on the Eastern Front, made no use of such sophistication and had no need of it.

It's always Politics.... Terrible ones in the case of WW2 Germany.


Yes, the lists where the problem because it is a lot easier to find your victims if you have a list of their addresses.

You‘ll never know when the next group with bad intent get access to surveillance data.

Every crime organization would be glad to have the opportunity to find witnesses in witness protection. Was a lot harder back then.


By that logic, why bother requiring search warrants? As long as government doesn't have bad intent, it should all be fine.

Yes, the lists were a huge problem.

In places where the germans had access to identity information survival rates among jews was much lower. The Danish government refused to provide data about Jewish citizens to the occupying germans, and simply didn't comply in general with anti Jewish efforts. 99% of Danish jews survived the war.

In the Netherlands, where there was initially a policy of compliance, the occupying germans got their hands on the lists of jews and only 25% of Dutch jews survived.


How about GPS tracking for every step outside your house.

Would also help prevent and solve crimes. No privacy on public roads.

There is also something like proportionality.


How about we eliminate Police entirely, since they will inevitably misuse any power we give them?

Of course we have to strike a balance. We just disagree on where "cameras on a public road" fall on the scale.


How about implementing proper limitations first for the abused powers they already have?

If someone proved he can’t handle a car you wouldn’t give him a truck, would you?


Fair point. I'll never argue against greater police accountability.

This would indeed be the best outcome. A framework of accountability we all trust and modern tools to do their job.


Nice try to make crimes sound legal.

Nice try to make a law sound moral.

If you want moral turn to religion.

But I bet (pun intended) many of them teach giving away other people‘s secrets (including companies and governments) for personal profit is wrong.

Imagine Venezuela getting information on the planned abduction of Maduro because of him https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-soldier-charged-using-clas...

Could have been a harder fight with more causalities
