"AI" as popularly conceived (mainly LLMs) isn't necessary to automate tractors. But I appreciate the focus on productive, non-destructive uses of technology
there's some shit going on in nyc lol. I don't expect they're paying the fines. Or they're somehow making more on videos of them doing it than the fines cost.

I also can't vouch for its accuracy but I suspect its related to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpG0LdTNfOc
this is from camera data but these are actually specific vehicles which have been caught by the cameras repeatedly: https://www.amny.com/news/where-drivers-get-speed-camera-tickets-in-nyc/
These appear to be specific cars, not just models of vehicle
thanks. I really don't get why bsky does this "the author wants you to be signed in" thing if it's just going to be publicly available via another interface.
Can you provide the link you mention? can't see any of that without a bsky account
My only qualm with this is that it seems like such blatant fraud and so easy to prove that it boggles the mind that it's flown under the radar this long.
This article actually links the lawsuit PDF:

Edit: uhhhhh I'm not sure I buy this. The lawsuit links this patent as evidence of tesla manipulating odometer readings: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8054038B2/en which does not say anything about the odometer, just about battery conditioning in response to predicted mileage for a given trip. Basically they integrated their charging system with the trip planner so that you can do things like plan a long route including charging stops, stop at the charger midway, and then have the car automatically charge to a minimum threshold which is enough battery to make it to the next charge point, with configurable safety margin so you don't roll in on 1% charge, and configurable driving styles so that it doesn't assume you're going to drive like a granny and therefore undershoot the amount of charge needed to go the required number of miles
If this is all they have to go on (well, this and vibes), this lawsuit is gibberish
Edit 2: they're citing reddit posts
I hate tesla as much as the next hexbear but this is not reputable stuff. The journalists that just breathlessly repeated these unsubstantiated claims because it makes a good headline should be ashamed. This took like 20 mins of research to figure out that there's no evidence provided. It could still be true but "random angry day trader sues tesla for denying his warranty claims" shouldn't be news unless there's actually any evidence of wrongdoing.
The first step of turning the US into a nation worth being proud of is to recognise these foundational evils so you can correct them.
I honestly don't even know if they can be corrected at this point. But we have to try. And it has to go far beyond liberal land acknowledgements and "feeling bad about it"
What People Are Saying
The website "isitdownrightnow" has stated: "If 4chan.org is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress."
This is journalism in 2025. Reprinting the "statement" of an obviously automated website, about the downtime of another website.
jeez I wasn't reading very carefully. I read that as "Only the RSS reader"
Only the RSS server will know the specific URL you're visiting though.
and the site itself!
yeah it's a dropshipper thing, it's easier to just buy access to a tracking number from some data broker that happened to ship about the same time to the same city or zip code than it is to 1) get amazon or ebay or whoever to accept a new type of tracking number, or even 2) actually use a shipping provider that has tracking, and 3) if it doesn't come on time or doesn't show up at all it makes it hard as fuck to dispute since "the tracking shows it was delivered on time"
