And just as he sped off, Push It to the Limit came on the radio.

It's Twitter, because otherwise the language makes no damn sense.

What do you do on Twitter? You tweet your thoughts, as individual tweets.

Like, I don't call it X, because the branding has no internal logic, I don't know the words for how to refer to things on X.

Like, what would I do on X? I would X my thoughts as individual Xes? Axises? God, can't say Axis on Twitter, you'll get FAR too many neonazis liking your Axises. And if I want to close the window for X? I'll click on the X in the top right hand corner of X -- fuck, it's so confusing!

What the fuck -- they took the most recognizable short-form blogging language on earth, branding so ubiquitous that everyone intuitively understood it and used it reflexively, and rebranded it into a pile of internally inconsistent shit.

Your ride will cost $150 and take 20 minutes. If you would like it to take ten minutes, please pay an additional liver.

You are a mod on the SpaceX board. How are you not a fan of Tesla or Musk?

Watch the videos with your own eyes, don’t blindly believe billionaire propaganda. These machines are a violent manace.

That part really pissed me off.

I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )

Only time until they do. Just like the ones that broke or crushed their fingers with the Cybertruck

What a moment for Musk to show true leadership.

In reality it will be some mom with a van full of kids in front of them.

On the plus side these cars aren’t going to last long driving like this. They’re heavy too so speed plumps affect them even more harshly.

it was going at full speed while applying the brakes.

Guy in a Dogecoin t-shirt and a neckbrace: "i-i-it was r-r-really great."

The sad thing is these things will probably not be taken of the road until a few dozen people have been run over.

That language is too active. It’s more like “robot taxi passenger needs medical attention”. “During the ride with a robot taxi a passenger became unwell. It’s unclear at this point what caused the passenger to become dizzy and get a head wound. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk told this reporter that there was no problem at all and that the passenger arrived faster at their destination than initially calculated.”

And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.

It's almost as if we need a nationwide GPS driven speed limit detection system, rather than relying on some crappy cameras.

That way manual drivers can be warned if they're exceeding the limit as well.

Yeah, it's so horrible especially when it reads a speed limit from an adjacent road or, even worse, from a label on the back of a truck

I've noticed that, too.

The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I'd call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.

Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.

is tesla == arasaka? But maybe not, because arasaka is actually competent
