Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

In the Culture novels robots assigned to this task have super accelerated consciousness, beyond human cognitive capabilities and can basically harmlessly stop you with a force field if you do anything to attempt to harm another person. Can Elmo's bots do any of that? Not even close.
But the next model will do all that! Just one more data center! Trust me, bro!
fwiw, data centres aren't a problem.
Techbros are the problem.
For example - water cooling has been used in data centres since the 70s, and more commonly in the last 15 years but always as a closed loop, the water just transports heat away to a heat exchanger then is cycled again.
Techbros - nah, we'll just let the water capture the heat then dump it into sewer, taking in fresh water constantly.
Elmo's robots are barely able to walk
I've seen student projects that were more impressive than his shit, let alone (for example) the (honestly scary) Boston Dynamics bots
But what if there were special circumstances?
I think the plan is that the team of human handlers that control the robot will step in and stop a felon from breaching their conditions.
The robot is just theatre to help prop up Tesla’s share price.
For now they can close an oven door in 5 minutes top, with a remote operator from Pakistan.
Astounding! Definitely worth a gazillion billions. The shareholders decision finally makes sense.
