Part cost is estimated to be under $5000 and take a week for a novice roboticist to build. Very cool, but me and my kids will probably skip this one.

They used to be a non-profit. Doubly fucking hypocrites.

OpenAI’s core message was “we can’t release our GPT model because people will try to use it for war”.

Fucking hypocrites.

Even the cheap ones accelerate faster, ride smoother, and are quieter. You don’t have to get oil changes, and the brakes don’t wear down as fast. Plus I can recharge at home, which is loads cheaper than buying gasoline.

And this is all with a relatively ancient Nissan Leaf, the new vehicles are all far better.

Oh, and let’s not forget that even very small air quality improvements have noticeable improvements in lung health! Humans were not meant to be breathing gasoline fumes or combustion exhaust.

Anyone who gets uncomfortable with government surveillance because it could be used to target certain demographics of people needs to look no further than what Israel has done to prove their point.

The only thing stopping the world from autonomously targeting people by online demographic is common human decency, and humanity is running on very short supply of that these days.
