Franco-Australian academic-engineer mix in the AV sector and road safety, based Down Under. 🇫🇷🇦🇺 Long time Certified Hater™ of Musk. No, Tesla is not a leader in the AV sector. Spaceflight amateur but Anti-SpaceX. GenAI opponent.

Lol. I bet Yun-Ta thinks so.

Anyway. Pretty much demonstrates that the remaining personnel on Tesla's Autopilot Team went to the Elon Musk School of Robotics - which only contains incompetence and lies.

If we actually had auto safety regulators anywhere globally, hard questions might be asked.
A screenshot of a social media post by [Yun-Ta Tsai](https://www.google.com/search?q=yun-ta+tsai&kgmid=/g/11fyz4n1pz) (@yunta_tsai) on X (formerly Twitter) dated October 7, 2026. The text reads: "After many years in top machine learning organizations, with friends at frontier labs, I still consider Tesla's ML engineers the best—the only ones I would trust with my life. Unsatisfied with theory, they scrutinize every detail until it is proven in reality. They demand real-world miles, not charts. This culture exists nowhere else. This week marks another anniversary at Tesla. I am honored to work with you all for many years to come." The post shows 270.7K views.

I saw someone breathlessly talking about this as "AI produced proofs that will take humanity years to understand" ... which just told me that they really don't know what scholarship is, in math or otherwise.

Complete non-answers, and must say the Guardian isn't really providing any analysis. Wonder why? Oh, nothing to do with that partnership with OpenAI I assume
OpenAI delivers a mea culpa to the Australian government in person – but answers still elude
Jason Kwon’s answers were provided in a helpful, quiet and calm manner. For a company under intense scrutiny, there were no missteps

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the autonomous vehicle developers who most vocally argued that society must accept a certain number of deaths to enjoy the technology's safety benefits (Tesla & Uber ATG) were the only ones who killed people and never actually delivered on their promises

More than a trillion dollars and four years into the AI bubble, it's not unreasonable to expect that we'd have solid data showing that AI was this major economic agent of change.

www.wheresyoured.at/premium-how-...
We’re over a trillion dollars into the AI bubble with hyperscalers expecting to spend a trillion dollars more next year, and as you’ve read today, it’s really unclear as to what it is we’ve done other than pumping tech stocks and a chunk of GDP growth that is almost certain to disappear once the money runs out. For the most part, every economic analysis I’ve found has tried to put lipstick on a pig. Putting aside GPU sales and data center construction, AI software sales and AI model efficacy do not appear to have had much of a meaningful impact on GDP, and what effect sales have had appears to have been vastly-inflated by outdated methodologies that have failed to keep pace with a tech industry that has, for the most part, not really innovated much in the last 15 years. LLMs are too inconsistent, too unpredictable and too expensive to replace human beings, and none of the data I’ve seen seems to suggest that they’re doing much to enhance human productivity outside of accelerating the amount of questionably-stable and secure software shipped on a daily basis.

first step, install someone else's self-driving system
After brainstorming at the ice cream shop, they decided to get a car and sent Gessler to rent a Toyota Corolla. They didn’t tell the rental car company they planned to hook chatbots up to the vehicle and drive it through an obstacle course. The team used Comma — an off-the-shelf system that allows users to install a self-driving system on unsupported cars — to get the car to communicate with a laptop running the LLMs. Comma had two cameras pointed at the road feeding data back to the Chatbot.

Nah mate I don't have the will to engage in a futile "debate" with you because you are an old moron who thinks they know better than anyone. No argument would ever convince you. The only remaining thing to do is point and laugh!

There are an awful lot of accounts here that have suddenly become experts on AI despite having zero training in minds, brains, computers, emergent behavior, software systems, and so forth.

And they get really mad when you point out they're talking nonsense.

AI firms' campaigns to fleece universities (via their software-purchasing administrators) have been wildly successful, from both the standpoints of revenue generation and lapping up a ton of student content

why would anyone expect different behavior with the scientific work done at universities?
