Toot

A day in the life of imbeciles: Elon Musk tells his gullible fans fully autonomous robotaxis are coming "by this time next year," and their goldfish-sized brains applaud—forgetting he's been saying that since 2016. Then he introduces the new Optimus droid, admitting the first was just "someone in a robot suit," and his fans’ goldfish-sized brains believe his claim that these metal dummies will soon be "your own personal C-3PO"—forgetting that C-3PO too was just someone in a robot suit.

@casilli Why do you think it's okay to post these totally misleading image descriptions?

@casilli No, why the hell would you think that?

I'll clarify my previous post: The text you put into the image descriptions is not wrong. But it has nothing to do with the content of the images.

@Segebodo @casilli exactly, alt text is for screen readers and users with poor eyesight to get a description, it's not a free text box for content. You could have made a scathing but accurate description of the toaster or creepy robots.

@casilli A reminder that the Optimus "droids" featured in his latest presentation were driven remotely. He doesn't have truly autonomous anything - you're looking at a Mechanical Turk con job.

@casilli Tesla stock dropped almost 9% after the announcement. Musk has a terrible record for meeting deadlines in the auto arena. Waymo still struggling to get robotaxis right with several years head start.

@casilli The press that gullibly fauns over this is infuriating.

@casilli applauding Elon Musk for them must be like Party members applauding Stalin. No one wants to be the first to stop clapping,.lest they be expelled from Musk's influence bubble.

@elronxenu if you replace “small people” with “microworkers” and “robot servants” with “AI”, it is already the case…
