"The gathering of ministers and officials in Santa Marta, Colombia, which starts on Tuesday, will focus on practical steps to shift economies away from fossil fuels, rather than setting new global targets of the kind agreed at U.N. climate summits."

I don't think we're past all the climate tipping points; that'd start to cause runaway changes. Swift action right now would still provide a chance to lessen the impact.

The worst case scenarios would be truly disastrous though, and would cause secondary human conflicts due to unavailability of basic resources.

And now even plans to do AI-generated ads:

It has to be Tesla that's liable I guess, when there's no safety driver. Although I didn't find any good example of a legal precedent in such cases.

There was too little rain this year which made the fires much worse.

I fail to understand why they stick with fossil fuels even though renewable deployments are cheaper than ever. Although there's misinformation and politics, they should look at long term profits..

HW3 owners can now expect “a much updated v12.6.”

It's crazy how they left HW3 and below cars abandoned. Tesla's promises are worthless.

Damn it looks even more likely as per this article:

At the moment, there is a major obstacle to Musk’s self-driving ambitions: Federal regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been hesitant to lay out a path for approving the next generation of robotic vehicles.
But with Musk now firmly in Trump’s inner circle, the billionaire is in a stronger position to influence development of federal rules that would put more of the cars on the road — an approach he proposed in a recent call with financial analysts.
