@SenSchumer Chuck we don’t give a fuck about this.

@DuPageCountyGOP Red area sucks welfare money from the blue areas that pay all the taxes.

O Donald Trump foi jurado de um concurso de modelos adolescentes em 1991. O concurso tinha garotas de 14 anos. Recentemente o jornal The Guardian descobriu que o concurso era fachada para que milionários pudessem transar com as garotas.

Classic Elon.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Elon Musk paid Black people to campaign for Trump in Michigan and then fired them and left them stranded in the streets when they complained about unsafe working conditions for being shipped around in the back of a U-Haul without seats or seatbelts.

Automated code generation is one of the biggest use cases for generative AI.

Meta gave SF’s top hackers 24 hours, thousands of dollars in prizes, and a ton of compute to see what’s possible.

Here’s what we saw at the @AIatMeta x @FactoryAI Codegen Hackathon in SF (🧵):

I’m surprised more people aren’t drawing the conclusion that Putin has Kompromat material on Musk and has been using him to help Trump get elected for years.

[Hugo Lowell @hugolowell]

New on WSJ: Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. At one point, Putin asked him to avoid activating his Starlink internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request

Shocked

Based on internal docs, X's Q3 2024 US ad sales was $173 million, down 31% from the same period last year when revenue had already fallen off a cliff.

It means advertisers are not returning or spending as much as before, unhappy with X's direction.

@pescami They’re very used to VAR making a meal of any possible replay decision.

It’s wild how impressive SpaceX is. I pray Elon stays focused on Twitter and continues to leave it alone.

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

[Chris May @ChrisMayDev]

@robertgraham I’m concerned that a major component of the US Space Force is led by someone who’s either extremely sympathetic to, or compromised by, the leader of our country’s biggest military threat.

Smart thinking about Retail Media Network consolidation from Andrew Lipsman's Media, Ads + Commerce newsletter. He proposes the concept of an Ecosystem RMN that bundles the inventory from long-tail RMNs and sells it programmatically. The benefits of first-party data and native categorical relevance are preserved while providing inventory scale.

They aren’t building this

[Tesla @Tesla]

Robovan seats 20 & can be adapted to commercial or personal use – school bus, RV, cargo

[Chris May @ChrisMayDev]

This is vaporware. Nothing like this is shipping in the next 5 years.

[Tesla @Tesla]

Faster, more affordable
– No driver fee

– No expensive radar or lidar equipment. FSD uses cameras alone

– Call it once & and it’s yours as long as needed, for quick trips or all day

Will be less than $30k when purchased

[Chris May @ChrisMayDev]

Tesla “robotaxi” will be a Model 3 with 2 seats. He’ll promise to start production next year but won’t. He’ll promise going live next year, but won’t. And 5 years from now we’ll have another “FSD” event where he’ll mostly run the same playbook.

[Chris May @ChrisMayDev]

@AgentSelf99B Come on, you know damn well no MAGAs know what ��articulate” means.

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

Frankly this is embarrassing for our country.

[Chris May @ChrisMayDev]

Tesla isn’t close to Waymo.

Are you telling me Googles Family Link for limiting kids access and screen time allows the kid to just click “Emergency” and they can call anyone they want 24/7? How is it possible they built it like this?
