Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps...

... But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

Looking forward to the headlines: "Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

That language is too active. It’s more like “robot taxi passenger needs medical attention”. “During the ride with a robot taxi a passenger became unwell. It’s unclear at this point what caused the passenger to become dizzy and get a head wound. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk told this reporter that there was no problem at all and that the passenger arrived faster at their destination than initially calculated.”

The sad thing is these things will probably not be taken of the road until a few dozen people have been run over.

They won't be taken off the road. After the first passengers are hit, they will blame "jaywalkers" and suggest some kind of tracking tech we have to wear.

Tesla bros: "I heard that jaywalker was a TSLA shortseller."

Oh, the US government is already proposing that.

And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.

On the plus side these cars aren’t going to last long driving like this. They’re heavy too so speed plumps affect them even more harshly.

it was going at full speed while applying the brakes.

Guy in a Dogecoin t-shirt and a neckbrace: "i-i-it was r-r-really great."

I read that in RFK Jr.'s voice

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is he the one that sounds like he smokes 30 packs a day?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but he has a disease that makes him sound like that. If he weren't such a terrible human being I would feel bad about making fun of him.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't think he and Alex Jones sound exactly the same.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I don't think Alex Jones has a disease that affects his voice, I think he just yells about psychic vampires so often that's just what his voice has turned into.

We live in the dumbest timeline.
