overjoyed, this is the best thing that could have happened to AI: "content creators" realizing there's a massive audience excited to watch them tear these gadgets to shreds
might be the one trend they can't venture capital their way out of

It’s a shame his cybertruck review was still so… “yeah it sucks but it’s great”
I do think he’s good at giving his personal opinion generally and not just saying what’s expected of him, but I did kinda get the sense that he’s still kind of a Tesla believer in the long run, reflected in that review. I’d be more open to that perspective if Elon was gone i suppose
Yeah I haven’t bothered watching his cybertruck review because I knew exactly where it would go. He’s been a Tesla fan for such a long time I think it’ll take a while for him to drop out if ever.
didn't it come out that the "lam" isn't even real, it's all just macros written by humans, or was that a different gizmo
There was that one GitHub repo showing that a bunch of the system is Playwright (browser automation running with Chrome headless) + no a whole lot of actual AI of anything. That said the CTO (obviously) denied it and said that there definitely was more to it but idk man. There’s not a whole lot of ways to automate interactions on websites so them using existing tools for it doesn’t shock me 🤷
BUT at the same time, they only have four “apps” and even those four are buggy as hell so I wouldn’t be surprised if it really is just a bunch of badly written macros acting on the websites of Uber/DoorDash. Turns out automating websites is brittle af and basing a whole product around it is a stupid idea.
let out a long sigh when he said "the AI hallucinates" when it gave incorrect information, I hate that people just accepted that's the way to talk about it, lmao
I mean even calling it an AI isn't accurate. The whole industry is loaded with so many false terms to project an idea of a mature product that doesn't exist.
Genuinely gotta love the man's journalistic and professional integrity, to take the product as seriously as he can and try to judge it on its own merits. That makes his pointing out all its clear and obvious failings even better because you know he's being as completely fair and even-handed with it as he can possibly muster.
my phone already has a button I can push if I want the wrong answer to a question or the wrong input to an app, and I do not use it
I'm sure there is some technical advantage this can claim over Siri/Google/Alexa/Bixby/etc but in the end they're all things where you can ask questions that have a one sentence answer, and then the answer will be wrong
