It's a tradeoff, too early to say if it's a dumb move.

Side A: Tesla can grow FSD subscription revenue by making FSD + Autopilot completely based on subscription. Lot more people use Autopilot than FSD. In the happy path such users will pay the subscription and that revenue will increase.

Side B: Autopilot (aka lane keeping) is fast becoming default option across manufacturers. Tesla will take a dip in sales if such 'basic' option is no longer available.

Whether side A > side B is to be seen.

I'd prefer to evaluate it from the viewpoint of someone outside the Tesla c-suite.

$22k Corolla has it.

Not paying $99/mo for it.

The issue is not that “FSD” is $99/mo. The issue is that a feature of $22k cars (lane keeping) is behind the $99/mo paywall.

Basically not enough people were buying the subscription for Elon to get his payout. But someone who just wants auto steering isn’t going to decide they’ll pay $99/mo for that. So this is just going to make people who like that feature not buy a new Tesla when the time comes.

1. Developing an voice AI agent (applied AI, not research)

2. Production ready AI - mix of code and human eval

3. Understanding and building for the new agentic AI commerce

we should not dilute the effect of what's been by saying Maduro was not good for Venezuela.

One can only think if all the customer complaints really went to Bill Gates, how much different Microsoft would be today. They still operate in a world where they think once they build something, people would just use it. CoPilot is the latest example.

IIRC:

What you can do:

1. At setup time, you are not forced to provide any apple ID.

2. You can login to your notebook without needing Apple ID

3. Install apps directly (i.e not from app store)

What you cannot

1. Install apps from App Store

2. Get Apple care etc.

I think Netanyahu cleverly played on Trump's ego to get him to strike Iran.

Why do people talk like this is all just one person’s decision? There’s an entire government apparatus involved advisors, military leadership, intelligence agencies. It’s not a dictatorship where one guy just snaps his fingers and things happen. I just can't believe this whole thread.

It's almost becoming a bother of how accurate the rumors are becoming now a days. With this release they were spot on with the 16gb min ram and no change in screen size.

I am not building LLMs on my computer (I wish :)) but I do use my iMac for both work and photography. Lightroom slugs big time on my 2019 iMac. My dream spec for the next iMac would be:

- bring back the 27" form factor

- dumb down use as monitor. My work computer has disabled file & screen sharing so current methods dont work. I just want to plug my work macbook using a cable or wireless and use the imac as a display.

I use the monthly subscription every couple of months on my Model Y and the FSD has become quite good. For me the two recurring problems are does not follow traffic rules when merging and navigating to exit in case of back 2 back traffic on highway simply does not work. However in rest of the cases its pretty good or perhaps better way to say the best in market right now.

Not that privacy is important, but in the age where everyone is thinking GPTs will become the new interface to internet, it does not look like the right strategy for a browser to pivot to privacy.

Edge already has a copilot and looks like Chrome has something in the works too. I am afraid this strategy will only push Firefox more distance from prime time.

Wow, is the one from OpenAI for real?
