I’m an expert.

I really don’t think people realise how many humanoid robots there will be and how they will transform everything from dangerous construction work to keeping our streets, parks and gardens in the best condition.

Where’s the backup? It’s all very well selling this until it goes down and all is lost - including any skills that LLM may have built for itself.

$4,500/month from one sentence: “your documents go nowhere”

a law firm’s managing partner couldn’t explain where cloud AI sends their privileged files

every vendor he asked said “it’s secure” but none could say where the data actually went

the consultant set a 58-watt box on the table and said “with this, the answer is nowhere”

deal signed before he left the building

the partner had been stuck for months. associates wanted AI tools, he couldn’t approve anything because nobody could tell him where the data physically lived

every vendor gave the same non-answer: “it’s encrypted, it’s compliant, it’s secure”

none of them could say where

the consultant didn’t pitch features. he brought a cluster that draws less power than a lightbulb and answered the one question every regulated client actually loses sleep over

the demo:

→ four small mainboards clustered together, pulling 58 watts total
→ runs a 70B model entirely offline
→ indexed on the firm’s own case files
→ live power monitor showing it sips less than a desk lamp

the partner asked what he’d asked every vendor: “where do our documents go when we use this?”

consultant pointed at the box:
“nowhere. they never leave this machine. i can’t see them. the manufacturer can’t. no cloud company can. there’s no server to breach because there’s no server”

that was the entire pitch

the firm had privileged client documents, sealed settlements, strategy memos - the kind of data that ends careers if it leaks. one breach and they’re explaining to clients why confidential files were on someone else’s servers

the box removed the question entirely

you can’t leak what never leaves the building

the numbers:

→ hardware cost: ~$2,000
→ setup: one day on-site
→ the deal: $4,500 setup + $4,500/month support

the partner signed because for the first time someone gave him an answer he could repeat to his own people without lying

“it’s in our server closet, nobody else can touch it”

that sentence ends the conversation every time

the consultant now has 8 firms on monthly contracts

every one came from a partner who couldn’t sleep over the cloud question

he doesn’t sell hardware

he sells the ability to say “nowhere” and mean it

I don’t see how Zuckerberg bunker could save him from this. It would be under water like everything else.

According to Chan Thomas's Earth Crust Displacement theory in The Adam and Eve Story, the continents don't move during the catastrophe, the Earth's entire outer shell does.

He proposed that the rigid lithosphere will suddenly slip over the softer, ductile upper mantle, shifting thousands of kilometers while the Earth's deeper interior remains largely in place.

As a result, mountains, oceans, and civilizations would all be carried along together as the planet's surface is rearranged, creating waves up to 2 miles (3.2 km) high and causing the oceans to spill across the continents.

This occurs during geomagnetic excursions, and with the current speed of the pole shift toward Siberia, we are already in the process.

🇪🇺 THE EU JUST PUBLISHED ITS 2027 SURVEILLANCE RULEBOOK

First MiCA delisted USDT. Now AMLR comes for privacy.

€10,000 cash cap. €1,000 ID threshold.

Monero, Zcash, Dash. Gone from regulated platforms by 2027.

You can still own them. You just can't touch them through the system.

Europe isn't banning crypto.
It's putting a name on every wallet.

@Michael_L_Rauch @mrfundman @Tesla You miss the point completely. Just like you missed what the pedestrian did. This is why FSD is better than a human. It made no mistake at all. Whereas you actually did so it would be better to be honest than to continue to avoid your own failure, to make your point.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

@eolio76 @MerlijnTrader Cash is anonymous. It’s the most anonymous money there is. What’s your point.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

@Michael_L_Rauch @mrfundman @Tesla You didn’t see the person deliberately and suddenly change direction and lurch towards the car - the car saw that and reacted to the person instantly.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

This is becoming a global problem for those wanting to escape authoritarian regimes. Many European countries have similar laws now.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Following a very difficult meeting with my accountant, I just found out how much it is going to cost me in terms of an "exit tax" to leave Quebec and Canada. No human being in a free society should have their hard-earned money stolen in this manner. I'm genuinely numb. I'm speechless.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

Your claim will likely be limited to your actual financial loss + interest - I think a court will see what you are doing as artificially inflating your actual financial loss. Also just FYI if Tesla release an FSD lite to make it work on HW3, your case will collapse before it starts.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

Henry Ford once said if you asked the people what they wanted they would have told you a faster horse.

People who don’t know or haven’t experienced FSD literally cannot imagine what it’s like to use it multiple times a day, every day.

Driving is fun, but being a passenger in your own car is arguably more fun right now. Soon when we have fully autonomous driving <3 yrs away, it will also be more productive.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

NO, you CANNOT walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is rubbısh. Free yourself from it.

Politicians can start complaining about trillionaires when they stop taking over $3 trillion in income taxes from us, every year.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

Three days in, and I’m already relying on FSD in preference to my own driving.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla “Your car is going to feel like it’s sentient.

I’m confident that the current AI 4 chips in cars will achieve self driving safety that is at least 2 – 3 times better than that of humans and maybe even 10 times better.”

— Elon Musk

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

@SFWsalesgirl @elonmusk Honestly, it has changed, but there are still a lot of places that haven’t - mainly in the countryside - and there is a lot of countryside. It’s the cities that are not doing so well.

[Chris J D'Costa @cjdcosta]

After this weekend I can tell you real drivers are far more unsafe on the road than FSD.

🚨 ETSC's Organizational Rejects Tesla's Introduction to FSD Europe

The European Transportation Safety Council has written to transport ministers in major European countries not to acknowledge Tesla's approval of FSD.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Lithuania, Estonia and Denmark, which have already been approved, have been excluded, and other member states are talking about rejecting it because the country will soon have a decision on whether to approve it or not.

Tesla's FSD safety has already been proven incredibly much, and with that data, this move by the ETSC is disappointing, and the delay in the introduction of FSD will create a major setback for the safety of public roads. @elonmusk
