Even if directed by a human, this is a demonstration that all the talk of "alignment" is bs. Unless you can also align the humans behind the bots, any disagreement between humans will carry over into AI world.

Luckily this instance is of not much consequence, but in the future there will likely be extremely consequential actions taken by AIs controlled by humans who are not "aligned".

The idea is a properly aligned model would never do this, no matter how much it was pressured by its human operator.

They are certainly far behind their original schedule, but do you mean to suggest that they are not making progress?

If the original schedules hadn't been made public knowledge, the progress they have made would seem quite fast-paced.

If Waymo didn't exist, maybe.

If Waymo didn't exist, we'd instead be lauding the progress of Wayve, Pony, and WeRide.

At this point, Tesla have the potential to be at best maybe #5 globally. No wonder they're so desperate to hide behind a tariff wall in their home market.

I agree with you, but I find it interesting that BYD got started around the same time as Tesla. They took quite different paths to international distribution.

Also if you try to avoid signing in to iCloud on a Mac, prepare to be nagged regularly.

Can you try converting one of them here? I'm curious whether it works or not.

If it doesn't work, any chance I could have a copy of one of the images for testing with? (and trying to file the right bugs to get it fixed)

I wonder if the destruction would actually go ahead.

What's worse, China having a monopoly on production, or the entire world being set back by X years?

In this scenario X is a two-digit number, right?

I don't think X is a two-digit number. TSMC might be slightly ahead of Intel, maybe a few years ahead of Samsung. People forget that the original ChatGPT models were powered by the A100, a chip manufactured by Samsung, which was Sota just a few years ago.

On top TSMC has fabs and personnel with expertise in other places. After all this threat isn't new.

Isn't it fairly likely that espionage would have already got to that kind of data?

Is there any free static hosting that has lasted longer than a few years?

How many hundreds of miles do you typically drive at a time?

Is there any part in particular with the Ioniq 5 that you find is better than a Tesla?

A lot more manual controls, in particular. I've never liked needing to use a touchscreen to manage functions of the car I might need to use while driving. Ioniq could actually go further still, some of the physical interface still uses a capacitive button rather than a physical button, but it is at least single-function so I can trace my hand along the bottom and the button I want is always in the same spot.

I like that by default it is set to two-pedal drive, especially in case I end up having to use an ICE or hybrid car (or have other drivers use my Ioniq). I like that I have a key fob and there's a physical interaction I need to make to turn the car on. I like that it supports Android Auto.

I think the styling is much better. I haven't sat in a Tesla long enough to give a direct comparison but the Ioniq interior is in the top quarter of cars I've driven.

It's not all roses, there's been Ioniq drivers run into ICCU issues that you don't really see the equivalent of with Tesla, but if I run into that then I'll just take it as a warranty item.

Edit: I forgot about the turn signal stalks but that was a primary thing for me as well, I literally thought it was some kind of anti-Tesla meme at first that they didn't have normal turn signals, until I verified it for myself.
