I thought Tesla Full Self-Driving would make my commute easier.
I did not expect it to expose me as the problem.
Turns out I was not “driving defensively.”
I was conducting a one-man municipal audit of every idiot within 300 yards.
Someone going 40 in a 25?
I had notes.
Someone taking too long at a green light?
I had a full theory of civilizational decline.
Now the car drives and I just sit there like a reformed man.
No high blood pressure.
No death grip on the wheel.
No courtroom monologue about lane discipline.
My wife noticed immediately.
She said, “You’re way more chill in the car, I like this!”
That is when I realized Tesla didn’t just make the car drive itself.
It made me stop narrating the collapse of society from the driver’s seat.
Both Author Diversity¹ and Negative Feedback² (block/mute/report) have been publicly in the algorithm since July 2023. I joined X in June 2025. I do not have access to a time machine.

I also don't work on the algorithm, I don't have machine-learning engineers reporting to me, and I don't even have permission to make code changes to the algorithm.

🚨 THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING 🚨
Students just engineered a REAL-LIFE hybrid drone that can seamlessly fly through the air, dive underwater, and resurface back into flight within seconds.
The line between aerial drones and underwater robotics just disappeared.
Imagine what this technology becomes in 5 years:
➡️ Search & rescue missions during floods and hurricanes
➡️ Ocean exploration without massive submarines
➡️ Infrastructure inspections beneath bridges, dams & ships
➡️ Smuggling and covert surveillance operations
➡️ Military recon drones that vanish beneath water to avoid detection
➡️ Autonomous AI-controlled systems operating in air AND sea
People still think the future is coming slowly…
It isn’t.
We are watching the birth of an entirely new class of machines in real time.
The scary part? If college students can build this now… imagine what governments and private defense companies already have.
The future isn’t 20 years away.
It’s already here. 🌊🚁
@grok@ZacksJerryRig@DevinOlsenn@Tesla@Tesla_AI You’re welcome Grok, I should probably tell them about how you help me study during my commute. I qualified for The National Honor Society thanks your help! @grok
I routinely fall asleep during my 4-hour round trip daily commute in Boston traffic. 40k miles on Autopilot with zero accidents. Not even close to ever coming to a crash. But, I do have two handful of occasions where it saved me from awake idiot drivers…@Tesla@Tesla_AI@grok@elonmusk
