I’m sorry she’s having to deal with this BS. I have a feeling the next step is to arrest her in a pullover for having an invalid license when the cop doesn’t believe the M instead of the F and says it’s fake.

This still allows the government to see which service provider you are using.
That was a poor choice then. They can do this with ZKP and not even know that.

You can make them biometric and still be private, but that’s even more effort which they wont spend.

I don’t personally think so when it comes to technologies like this that can be used to surveil and/or control a population.
It’s pretty much a given that it will be used against us as history has shown us its always the case.
Trying to separate them out, gives them the extra support they need to pass it through and then abuse it.

The basis is its how the world communicates and they become the gate keepers to communication and knowledge. Its like book banning on topics they don’t like but on a scale much more massive.
They’re already banning internet content from people that shouldn’t be about sexual health.

This has been tried before and never worked well. What makes you think its going to work any better now?

No, we still need to be against it. I said tracking and controlling, not just tracking.
They are already blocking resources that shouldn’t be blocked from youth, and even a privacy centric method would still let them do that, and then expand it to anything at a whim in the future.

Because its not about age verification, its about tracking and controlling you and making a privacy respecting solution isn’t compatible with that.

In Canada when I was growing up, if you didnt take french immersion, they made you take 1 french language class a year up until grade 10.
They also taught Japanese and for senior year if you’d taken them all could go on a trip to Japan.

Imagine the trouble they could have saved themselves and others if that’s how they marketed it everywhere instead.

Are you from Europe?
EU has some laws that cause AP to disengage beyond mild turns. It can take some pretty good turns outside EU, but not really sharp ones.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 1 week ago:
You’re absolutely right that the earnings today doesn’t justify the stock price.
It’s all based off future assumptions that would need to come true like dominating the AV industry and humanoid robot industry.
There was actually a brief period in 2022 I think where the stock price was really high, but they were making more profit than other OEMs combined with a faction of the cars, and they were actually reaching what seemed like a reasonable PE ratio. Then he bought twitter, did the nazi stuff, did the Cybertruck instead of the 25k vehicle (which is now abandoned), and their vehicle growth started shrinking instead of growing.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 1 week ago:
This case is about AP, but AP does steer the car. The car has TACC and Auto Steer, together it’s called Autopilot.
FSD is the one that can do lane changes, stop for stop lights/stop signs, and all the other necessary things like park and reverse.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 1 week ago:
They have 44b in cash and 6.2b in free cash flow in 2025.
They make plenty of money.
They’ve paid off almost all their debt as well
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 1 week ago:
Usually that’s about FSD. Its almost never about AP.
I believe he’s even said he thinks FSD is safer than a human now, within the past year or so.
At the time this happened, FSD beta wasn’t even released.

Dang that sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not saying faulty air bags are okay, they are not. They’ve been the subject of one of (the?) largest recall ever.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 1 week ago:
Tesla advertised a feature of a car that failed to work in the way it was described.
So first off, this was mainly what I was replying about and I should have probably quoted it. The car 100% worked exactly as described. Any claims about how good AP may be, go 100% out the window the moment your foot is on the accelerator and it tells you the car will not brake.
Also I don’t think he’s ever said AP drives safer than a human, it’s humans using autopilot are safer than driving without it. It’s always because you are supervising it that it’s safer than without. It can’t even change lanes or stop for traffic lights, how on earth could that be safer than a human unless it’s with human supervision?
Tesla wiping/causing problems getting the data should probably be it’s own case and doesn’t really have to do with the actual merits of this specific case IMO and whether or not they were responsible.
The working outside of highways is really the only valid thing.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 1 week ago:
The dude had his foot on the accelerator overriding autopilot.
If his foot hadn’t been on the accelerator the saftey features may have actually worked.
When your foot is on the accelerator, it tells you it will not brake.
- Comment on Mastodon is testing easier ways to get you started in the fediverse 1 week ago:
People won’t read what’s in front of them and then complain when something doesn’t work.
I had someone tell me, people don’t read the things he writes.
That same person then proceeded to not read instructions I had written for something they needed to do and they did it wrong.
Edit: If it’s not a 10s tiktok clip it’s too much nowadays.
