  • Teslas have had shit build quality forever. They ripped out so many features from the cockpit and replaced it all with a single shitty display. Elon said it’s radical and better, fans sucked it up.

    He was a scammer right from the start. He bought the company to ride the green wave and rip off idiots with garbage EVs. Everyone knew his shit cars don’t cost much money to build, Chinese EV makers proved it.

    He couldn’t even turn a profit with his fucking company and had to resort to stock manipulation. People seem to forget what a piece of human garbage Elon was all along.

    It’s no surprise that garbage truck falls apart. Trade it in for the roadster you fucking idiot!






  • It’s not that obvious. Corporations are investing heavily in automation in customer relations. There are metrics for how much work had to fall back to humans, because it couldn’t be processed by the machine. Managers are motivated to improve on those metrics, and make the humans redundant.

    Of course, LLMs are just pure garbage that produce more work for everyone and achieve nothing. Especially in business, they are a great way to reduce efficiency. The users dumb down, believe any bullshit, drop all critical thinking, and the people on the receiving end of their bullshit have to filter even more stupidity than ever.

    But you don’t understand this as a manager. A piece of code by AI, that produces the same result as a piece of code by a human, or close enough, seem equivalent. Potential side effects are just noise that they don’t understand or want to hear about.

    Managers also don’t understand that AI doesn’t scale. If it can write a Python program to calculate prime numbers, it can surely also write something like Netflix, or a payment processor, right?

    Then there’s exactly what you point out. Other managers claim they’re doing it. So there must be something to it.

    Once they wasted their budget on renting this technology temporarily, cuts have to be made to ensure the bottom line.

    Maybe AI isn’t replacing your job, but the stupid investment might cost you the job anyway.

    It’s also important to realize that you don’t require quality work or a quality product to be financially successful as a corporation. The AI industry is the best example itself.








  • Thanks for providing the additional clarifications, I think pretty much all of it is valid, I just have a slightly different perspective.

    Most people would likely agree with you that investing into a home through dept is reasonable. I don’t disagree.

    I also agree that you can utilize loaned capital in a way that your earnings outperform the debt incurred.

    You’re still gambling though. You can not afford to lose your home, or that loaned capital. Maybe you feel like your chances are good, and maybe they really are, but you’re relying on your personal prediction of the future to ultimately resolve that debt.

    A “real” investment is just as much gambling, but the fallout from failure is entirely different.
