So Amazon wants its customers to pay more to get Alexa to do what it should have done well from the start?

In any other timeline, putting shit like this out would have been an automatic disqualification for the presidency. Now, all it garners is a shrug and “eh, whatta gonna do” from everyone. Fucking hell, I hate this reality.

More like the Turd Reich.

To be fair, the average Republican voter doesn’t even know this happened and if they heard about it they would just say it was fake anyway.

“But I can’t vote for Biden because...”

This isn’t the first time Trump’s been caught “accidentally” retweeting Nazi shit. Back during the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, he was called out on multiple occasions for retweeting pro-Trump memes from Neo-Nazi Twitter accounts. And Trump’s team’s defense is always “Trump doesn’t endorse or condone these users. He just…

It’s really weird how Meta STILL hasn’t made an iPad version of Instagram.

Does anyone else remember when Samsung released a commercial which mocked Apple for removing the iPhone’s headphone jack? And then a year later Samsung removed the headphone jack on their flagship phone? And then a year or two after that Apple announced that charging bricks would no longer be included with new phone…

So, the ridiculous presumptiveness of your argument aside, there’s plenty of damage AI can do short of being a Terminator or Matrix scenario. Here’s just a few off the top of my head:

Holy crap, what an immature child. I am so never buying a Tesla as long as he is CEO, and for probably at least one design cycle after that, given that I have issues with the cars themselves and not just what an asshole Musk is. (No instrument panel? No Android Auto/CarPlay, in 2024? WTF people?)

I simply cannot imagine working my ass off, then being told that the world’s richest man (give or take) has just doubled my workload (with no pay bump) because he child-like reflexively fired colleagues for shits and sexism and minor cost savings.

Yikes. Tesla’s board seems unlikely to stand up to Musk and if they don’t they’re going to be Fisker.

“According to two former employees, Tesla’s energy division, which sells solar systems and battery storage were already struggling to handle their workload before they were forced to take on the Supercharger team’s workload.”

I totally agree with your sentiment, but you got to remember these guys are probably working in CA and have like $5k/month rent or insane mortgages plus other bills. It can easily take 3-6 months to find a new job, too. I remember that Chargepoint also had layoffs this year, so it’s not like there is a huge demand…

Maybe Sandy Munro can explain how this is just an example of Musk playing four dimensional chess. Or some such garbage.

Nothing asserts dominance more than lashing out at people only to immediately beg them for forgiveness.

Knowing it was a tantrum makes the most sense. It’s the, “I’m so tough I can kick myself in the nuts!” philosophy. That and I assumed he figured he could hire many of them back at lower pay.

It was simply Musk getting mad at someone for pushing back on what he was asking for and punishing the entire team as part of his tantrum.

“Stable genius”

I know it sounds like some of that department has been rehired, but I really hope most of them landed elsewhere and told that temper tantrum prone toddler to kick rocks.
