Robotaxi! It's like a regular cab, but less safe.

Don't worry, there's even still a stranger sitting up front. That's because it's less safe.

Anyway, Tesla stock is trading up with 5 times the market cap of Uber and maybe 20 times the market cap of the Ford Motor Company, so mission accomplished.

In referring to AI Mania and the disdain people got discovering genAI is still disappointingly a long way off. It wasn't a leaps and bounds thing, just LLMs bringing the attention back on like there was a breakthrough, though the pace of the tech has not changed.

Expect a resurgence in a few more years once the world is done with betas and thing improve at the same old rate. I think the best we got coming up is genAI assisting the increase of speed toward actual AI as a whole. Reliable generative iterations would be really helpful, but we're obviously not there yet and likely not for a little while more.

In the meantime, the global open betas not advertised as such have done their job, but have left a foul taste in mouths.
