Slave cars or Nazi cars. Tough choice.

Fuck China, but also fuck Elon

True. But, I’m to the point that I’ll take any little win in the news lol

Maybe Tesla should have focused on making good cars.

i tought this already happened a while ago?

There are probably a couple of different ways to measure it, so maybe another one happened earlier. Revenue vs number of cars sold, for example

Today I can be the person who actually reads the article. The metric was 2024 total revenue, so this is likely repeat news.

Electric cars, LLMs. I’m wondering how far ahead and more cost effective China is on quantum computing. There’s also a good chance that any legit quantum computing breakthrough in the US gets raped to death by VC vampires like everything else.

They're already well ahead of us in thorium LFTR tech. It wouldn't surprise me if there were other things they had undermined the US in researching.

What good is new technology if I can't place it behind a massive paywall and generate obscene wealth with it? You expect my dragon hoard to stay confined to one castle like I'm some kind of peasant?

Can’t say I’m surprised. I was traveling overseas and I saw some models that looked really cool.
