Military is a good example.

First people who were gay were removed.

Then don’t ask don’t tell.

Then it was okay.

Now it’s not and they’re being removed and many outed themselves once it was okay.

One day, you’re not a terrorist. Then on Sept 22 2025 you are because you don’t support fascism.

I mean ya, that works if they know who you are.

Sorry my bad. The messages will all be converted into AI slop when you submit them so you aren’t actually communicating with someone with your own written words so you have plausible deniability that you didn’t actually write any messages using encryption which is now an offense punishable by death.

It’s because it can’t be taken down. What happens when they arrest everyone working at signal? When they arrest you for hosting a E2E encrypted message relay?

That’s where language like this is headed.

Ethereum also recently introduced something called blobs, which is temporary data that lasts around 18 days. So it isn’t necessarily stored forever if you wanted a not as permanent message. There are archives that will keep all that as well, but it’s not maintained on the regular chain past 18d.

I know this is gonna get downvoted but…

This is all going to lead to needing to use some open blockchain based communication system.

E2E encrypted, routed through a public blockchain they can’t block. Use one of Ethereums L2 systems to keep short messages under a penny or two and route all payments through Tornado Cash so they can’t be tracked.

All open source, nothing to take down, uncensorable.

It won’t be for everyone at first it would he too technical in a lot of cases, but it’s going to be the last option at the end of this road.

I put this in a post elsewhere about his Golden Age comment.

It actually is a Golden Age. For billionaires and corporations.

Wait for a PS6 that Sony will sell at a loss due to earning it back on games and salvage that sweet sweet ram and GPU for a home made PC lol.

It’s easy to block texting if you’re moving fast, but how do you expect them to tell the difference between being the driver or passenger?

The troubling part is, that’s a lot if people. There are so many people texting and driving it’s insane. And if you trust the vehicle when it’s not truly capable of being trusted that way, you might prevent some accidents, but you’re also going to cause accidents where that system is weak, and you might run into those situations more frequently because you’re not paying attention and trusting it too much.

You know what would actually be interesting…

If the passengers in these vehicles could flag an unsafe moment and that went directly to the NHSTA including videos and sensor data.

That would better flag things like running red lights or driving into flooded parking lots I mentioned above that might go unreported otherwise other than social media where it’s not tracked.

Tesla releases some misleading stats that compare accidents vs other cars vs teslas that have their driving assistance systems on, and while the comparison to other cars isn’t great since it’s kind if apples to oranges, it’s pretty clear that there are less accidents with their systems turned on than off on their own cars.

Edit: major accidents anyway. It doesn’t track fender bender type things. I think the air bag needs to have deployed.

Edit: just to add another thought. The people that abuse the automated systems are probably the same people who would be breaking rules of the road anyway. So those people are causing accidents with the automated systems turned on, but maybe they would have been anyway. At the extreme end you have those people using it while drunk. I’m pretty sure they would have driven drunk anyway, or have driven drunk before.

It wasn’t as dramatic, but still more. But it’s not really apples to apples since the monitor in the passenger seat has a stop button.

So it’s more than waymo, while the person is also stopping it on occasion.

But that’s still hard to compare because waymos still do really stupid shit like turn in oncoming lanes, run red lights, or drive into flooded parking lots (all past week or two) where that saftey monitor would stop it.

But it’s more than waymo, with the saftey monitor.

At what point does removing garbage become so complicated that they just stop merging anything in at all.

So a scalp?

Wasn’t there something months ago about bounties and ICE as well?

I remember making jokes that now it really would just be thugs in mask and being indistinguishable from ICE in masks who don’t identify themselves.

I mean, of all the things, talking about it being sentient is pretty low on the list of things to he worried about. I doubt this would have any impact on anyones decision even if Tesla had a perfect reputation. And as long as you get paid for distributed inference and it’s optional, there’s nothing to be upset with there either.

But ffs its not sentient. Stop talking like it is.

So bear with me on this…

Tesla has their inference chip in the cars, and the AI hardware is going to continue improving.

A couple interations from now, it’s actually going to be pretty powerful, and it has it’s own cooling hardware and power supply.

It actually might make sense in the future to use this distrubuted power and cooling and do distrubuted inference. Pay the owner for time used.

Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t.

Now… the insane part is, Elon once referred to it as (paraphrased) well, the car is going to have all this compute, and it’s just sitting there doing nothing at home. It’s going to get bored, and we don’t want that, we need to keep it engaged.

As it it was actually fucking sentient. Like fuck the right off.

They probably use it to help craft emails and because that works reasonably okay, especially as a proof reader or for fixing sentence structure, they think it’s amazing at absolutely everything.

Decades from now when we have Speed Racer type tracks they’ll regret that.
