It’s funny you call others idiot when you are the one spreading misinformation. AP, Reuter, etc have all called out there are no public evidence whatsoever showing CCP pushing any agenda. Even the U.S government has said the threat is hypothetical. If you have evidence, show it. People would pay you millions. And the last part of your comment is also a lie, you can find all kinds of anti-CCP stuff on it: https://imgur.com/a/xdM1R5x You’ve never used TikTok and you are just spewing bullshit repeated by others.

Until Tesla takes liability…ever. It’s still the next step that needs to happen. At least Mercedes believes in their system and is willing to put their money where their mouth is. Meanwhile Tesla keeps backpedaling, adding more nags, more (Supervised) subtext, and still no effort to make even base AP L3 hands free.

They’re an authorized participant, meaning they help BlackRock with the mechanics that allow the fund to track Bitcoin, unlike the OTC trusts that didn’t have these mechanisms. There’s a difference between being an AP and actively participating in the success of the asset class.

(can confirm, used to use AP under bridges) Some models are using newer higher resolution radar. If it's needed for robotaxi then those models will probably get it too.

u/AP9384629344432 Just poking around and noticed that HCC has been outperforming AMR of late. Maybe there's just fewer momentum traders selling out, but it bodes well for the future. Might add more if it gets a good selloff for the season. Also, has Coal Twitter had any discussion on CEIX after its Baltimore Port related selloff?

ItinerantDrifter

Right... but the tell is the number of shares. See how TCNNF is a nice round number, +200,000? I'm pretty sure that means Dan bought that on his own, and it wasn't done through an AP and the creation process. Plus there was no after hours print for TCNNF, unlike the other ones. Maybe it's some weird process that I don't understand and I'm wrong, but it hasn't been included regularly in updates recently so I think that was the case and he bought it with the extra banked cash today.

I wonder what exactly the AP process looks like for them arbitraging the NAV. Its pretty clear all the GTBIF shares were not acquired today, I wonder how far in advance they end up buying.

I don't think you understand TSLA nor Tesla Motors. HW 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 was all NVDA cards for AP/EAP. They switched to in house for HW 3/4 and the total compute compared to the NVDA offerings is significantly less (I know math'n is hard for some folks but go look it up). All the other makes are using sensors, lidar, etc... Tesla has gone Vision Only and removed features from brand new cars because of it with the "hope" to bring it back once they can figure out how to fake it. CyberTruck can't even do any AP/EAP today because it is not even a 1/2 baked solution today much like how the Model 3 is still 1/2 baked software wise from 2016 to present. OP do you even own a Tesla Motors vehicle? Have you even tried to use the Auto wipers in the rain? How about when you put the car in reverse with auto wipers in the rain as you pull into a supercharger stall... I bet they go from not even wiping the rain to bat 💩 crazy fast the moment it is in reverse 😂🤣🤡😝 It is now 2024 and this company is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy behind where it needed to be back in 2017. I wish you luck in your guessing or pumping, but the facts and reality don't match up with your words

Okay, you have a better memory for the dates than I do. I do recall promises of a glorious future not far off when I got the Model X. I ordered it the day AP2 was announced. Those promises have never been fulfilled. If I can transfer my FSD to a replacement Model X whenever I get it, I will be less annoyed. I have had that offer once, at end of a quarter. V11 is not bad, yes, although rather pointless in urban areas. I hope V12 will be good. I’ve seen videos of it, but not experienced it as it’s not widely deployed yet.

Theres 6 of them beating the market, by a lot, for several years in a row. Not sure how thats not considered a sound portfolio. My question had nothing to do with if they are successful, thats obvious. The concern is only by the time AP can make the trades has it missed the windoes. Looking over them, the answer is even 30-90 days later, almost all their picks still gain, just not always as much.

Wooden-Complex9461

I mean its crazy good, I dont think its around the corner, but of my 65k miles since I got a MYLR with FSD I got 3/2021. Id say 45k miles minimum is all FSD. I mean why not? It literally drives me to work in the morning without me doing basically anything. Ive used it across 7/8 states + Canada. I rented one via turo with AP only and it drove me from PHX to Grand Canyon well (miss FSD with lane changes and taking exits) Anecdotal, but everyone I have shown in the last almost 3 years has had their mind blown with what it can do. We have used Waymo, and its awesome too, but its not a consumer car, doesn't go fast, and cant do highways.

FlapjacksInProtest

Wow look how prim and proper your sentences have gotten! ChatGPT at its finest or you’re stoned out of your mind. Which you have to be to think that a man who used to do business with a corrupt govt is no longer involved when he becomes the leader of their geopolitical rival. Come on dude. If you think Joe is messing around while president I see no reason Trump isn’t doing the same stuff. The dude has been a grifter his whole career and appointed his friends and family to positions within the White House, it doesn’t take passing AP classes to see something is wrong with that. Also if you want to sue Joe Biden go ahead, I don’t care about him. If he’s guilty he deserves to lose it all just like Trump. Also you didn’t reply about anything I said about censorship.

FlapjacksInProtest

Hahaha this is comedy. Took you awhile to type this into ChatGPT and google what AP classes are huh? I don’t even know where to begin with this but thanks for running down your high school transcript. Care to go through your college one? It’s so funny you mentioned the CCP considering in 2012 Trump refinanced the Avenue of the Americas and $211 million of that debt was from the state-owned Bank of China. I’m sure you have no issues with that. Who is “you guys” I’m an independent. Joe and Trump are one and the same to me. Neither is there for my best interest. Dude the fraud case isn’t bogus he was literally found guilty. How can you call me delusional when you’re literally denying reality??? I may not be smart but I’m smart enough to know what a guilty verdict means haha come on man. Joe Biden has been president for how many years? How many of people have been censored? If I say fuck Joe Biden will I be killed? No, stop exaggerating dude. The world isn’t that scary and the people who run it are garbage on all sides. Trump is not gonna any else first but himself, same as Biden.

StelarHalfing2

I think what you’re saying speaks for itself ngl. You’re so far gone you actually think getting money from investors and getting money from the CCP is the same thing. Yes delusional is a good word to associate with you, you will say trump took money from all kinds of people. Ok give me an example, show me the receipts. Unlike some people in this discussion here I actually was in “Advance” classes, they were called AP for Advanced Placement. I took “Advanced” placement for US Government, “Advanced” placement for world history, “Advanced” placement for biology, “Advanced” placement for chemistry and physics. But yes you’re right I’m the one who took regeants history and sciences. There is a clear reason why SAT scores and GPA actually used to matter besides your skin color and DEI, it’s because people with actual intelligence were preferred over troglodytes who assume things without proper evidence. You guys have indited Trump multiple times over the past couple of years to no avail. You guys had to start some bogus lawsuit of fraud against him because you realized the American people isn’t full of narcissistic victims who can only say yes to what is told to them. Yes I believe you are delusional, and no you are not smart. Stop acting like you are because it’s honestly appalling, your the type of person to support hitler level of censorship and it’s disgusting and appalling.

FSD is shit. My Tesla beeps at parked cars just driving around my neighborhood. Used to work fine a few years back. Now it's all phantom braking with AP and apparently I'm going to hit parked cars all the time. Went to shit in 2022 and maybe the newer cars are better but my 2020 model S is way worse. I simply do not use any of the assist features anymore.

“not a single bull can give a definitive catalyst” Heres a perfect example of ignorance or maybe it's just deaf ears, or a disingenuous twisting of words, as there's never any guarantees a plan is successful. Definitive being strategically used here. My guess is U/theeliteshitposter has done zero research, whether it be on the r/dwac group, listened to Devin Nunes plans for growth or visited the TMTG website. So Ill enlighten all with what Ive learned. The plan is to create a major competitor for “ALL” things media with a format that communicates Real News, not the twisted narrative laced versions produced by CNN, FOX, PBS, CNBC, AP, CBC, and all other Operation Mockingbird participants. Creating Truth Social was just the first piece. Having DWAC target TMTG as merger partner was a blessing consummation of merger was 2nd step. Now with cash on hand 3rd phase will kick in W Streaming Service to follow. As for the stock price it's already been proven time and again that corporate earnings and stock price arent always marching hand in hand. Here we have an extremely low float, with all shares being held by an (estimated) less than 5000 people as a Recent Reddit poll contributed the math, and Debin Nunes recently stated the successful vote for merger couldn't have happened without the support of X X X shareholders, Then you have the power of the Trump Brand. Haters will negate this point, but the fact is Trump is a symbol of success worldwide. An investment in TMTG is an investment in the Trump Brand You figure it from there.

Tesla brought out vehicles with AP1 hardware for the first time in October 2014, but they didn't promise FSD at that time. They did say it will eventually have some ADAS capability. The Autopilot software launched for the first time in October, 2015: [https://www.tesla.com/blog/your-autopilot-has-arrived](https://www.tesla.com/blog/your-autopilot-has-arrived) Read that carefully, stuff like, "While truly driverless cars are still a few years away, Tesla Autopilot functions like the systems that airplane pilots use when conditions are clear. The driver is still responsible for, and ultimately in control of, the car." Now, Tesla did talk about FSD in November, 2016. And it is at that point that Musk was way too aggressive on his promises, discussing the availability of FSD to do things in 2-3 years from then. So really, late 2018 is when they were thinking they would "get there." Clearly that didn't happen. But, at the same time, one can see the progress they are making. FSD Beta V11 on highways is really, really good. And FSD Beta V12 on city streets is also very, very good at this point, especially where the locality matches well with their training data. People's varying experiences obviously are partially due to differences in how well Tesla's training set is representative of where the vehicle is being operated. So while the deadlines have been blown through, the progress is tangible. However, I think Tesla did not do right by early adopters. FSD transfer between vehicles should be a given during the beta period, at least when the FSD licensed vehicle is out of warranty or has been salvage titled. Since they recently have been offering FSD transfer, may be we will see that more regularly.

They should be. It was a dumb move. The initial spike down happened 30 seconds after the AP reported on the new Trump gag order, and then when it tried to rally, it ran into the general closing malaise.

I think the technology is sound. Fundamentally the reactor is an updated version of the PWR, just smaller. The Westinghouse AP1000 is fundamentally the same design as well; improvements are primarily in safety, operation, and maintenance reduction. Nothing really new or risky. The primary advantage of NuScale is you can buy between 4-12 modules and tailor the total power produced. Or, if your power requirements increase, you can add modules. They need only find the right situation. Build one, then build more. People questioned when Westinghouse built two AP1000s in China. Certainly they lost the IP, but they gained construction experience. This was the thing they did not have. Nuscale does not have any experience yet, but it can be obtained.

We’ve been operating in an ample reserve system since 2008. Banks have been holding so many excess reserves that it didn’t make sense to have a reserve requirement anymore. Why have one when the banks hold their money at the Fed. This isn’t anything that would be explained in high school (AP Macro started requiring this in 2022. IB still doesn’t require it). The Fed, and most other developed nations control interest rates through the demand for reserves.

Yeah, I just remember the news around Germany closing down their nuclear plants and burning more coal and seeing charts of how China still burns a ton. Just I don't really like miners or commodities as much, that's even why I always talk about WIRE being my copper play. Don't get me wrong, I've always suggested like CLFD and OLPX, which AP also bought and both have done pretty bad. I created that post around things I've learned along the years and learning that you will pick some losers is one of them. With CLFD, I was really bullish on the idea of rural broadband, but since has got out of that thesis/theory. Literally for like 3 years or so since I've been posting here, I still stand by the idea of going long on physical data centers, electrification, and companies that will do well with IRA/Infrastructure money and some HVAC. Even with us, I think one of the first times we ever interacted was talking about STRL. https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/11d8n9b/comment/ja8lmzs/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

AP# has been mentioning it a lot lately, and I think after AMR more people are listening. I'm still proud I was pitching coal before him, just not as well. I actually defended coal while he was initially down on it!

I remember you pitching SMCI. Yeah, I feel like to get attention you sort of need to drill home tickers over and over until people are familiar with them. Like how AMR actually got a few followers after AP# posted about them daily. I'm finally getting a few other Hawkins owners here. I fully realize most people will buy a small fraction of stocks they ever hear about. It does make me a little sad though when people assume the Mag 7 have been the best performers because they are talked about a lot and they're well known. However, there's tons of names that have done better than at least 5 of the 7. DECK, MEDP, MUSA...like all these companies that have been multibagger stocks and people just shrug them off.

Kbarbs4421

I've only read the Twitter thread, not the actual decision. It looks to me like 2-methyl AP-237 has no current or prospective medical uses. I assume this means it needs to be listed under the moat restrictive Schedule per the Single Convention. The logic there is that there's no room for comment if the absolute max is required. Cannabis, on the flip side, is potentially being rescheduled to a less restrictive level. Technically, still "controlled by the United States' obligations under international conventions." But clearly more latitude as to ultimate decision. I'm not convinced this is an apples to apples comparison.

>Stock picking is arts and crafts for a good amount of people, contrary to your belief. If you enjoy being a large cap shill, go ahead, but that isnt universal. u/EagleOfFreedom1 this is not only incredibly insulting: >Shill: one who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle. This is totally wrong. I have enormous respect for posters here that bring GOOD DD and back it up with very diligent data. u/AP9384629344432 is a shining star in this respect. Very thorough and backs it up with financial analysis too. I sometimes disagree but at least he brings interesting and unique information / insights to the table. That said, stocks ISN'T arts and crafts. We don't want to encourage people to buy shitty tickers. You are only rewarded for being right. That said, Bragging about your DIY furniture project doesn't cause people to lose 10s of thousands of dollars and destroy people's lives. If anything there are way too many shills of garbage P&Ds, penny stocks, etc. on social media with no coverage. It's the haters of large cap saying buy my $300M psychedelic penny stock hemorrhaging cash that's the shill (real comment here today). The market especially large caps with tons of analyst scrutiny is roughly speaking, very efficient. Mag 7 is *popular for a reason and most of the time market is right*. Moreover, **I repeatedly espouse VOO for your portfolio**. Only then should you branch out with knowingly taking significant risk picking stocks. That is just responsible, not being a "shill".

TSM gonna buy me an AP

debokle

I’m not sure you understand how this is being developed. A new improved version of AP to be “FSD lite” is not new features, it’s an entire rewrite based of a new FSD framework. It’ll happen eventually, but it’s not a priority compared to completing FSD. That’s like trying to slicing a loaf of bread into toast before you finished baking the bread.

debokle

AP isn’t really a beta anymore (they say it is but that’s mostly liability), FSD is a beta. If you follow it closely you’ll know FSD has fundamentally changed/improved a few times in the few years. By the time they created an autopilot version of FSD, FSD might be on the next version. Also an AP version of FSD v12 may need different training data set, v12 has not hard coding. So AP based on v12 is probably going to be a similar training process using a different dataset (just cars driving in a lane), Tesla has already shared they’re compute limited. It makes far more sense to focus on getting FSD right first before creating the next version of AP. Not to mention FSD is intended to be a big part of Tesla’s future whereas AP is just a feature. It’s frustrating to not have all the features/capabilities on your car but from a company management standpoint prioritizing FSD makes sense.

pab_guy

\> it hits the brakes pretty much whenever it feels like it at 70mph on the motorway FSD has never done that to me. AP, yes, but not FSD.

debokle

AP has gotten very little attention last few years compared to FSD. I don’t trust it either. But it’s not really indicative of the future of FSD.

AP is not FSD Lite. Different software, especially compared to FSD V12.

We have been selling off our TSLA shares as fast as we possibly can, but need to allocate shares and minimize our tax gains. The competition doesn't scare me in the slightest as Rivians are non-existent and Ford is rapidly winding down its EV production. Sorry GM, but the M3 and Ys are such a better deal than the Volt. We're selling our shares because the CEO is a total clown and saying crap like, "We're not investing in AI unless I get xx billions dollars to do so" is just so asinine. I ride up was glorious with constant innovation, but the company completely plateaued tech wise and at an obscene valuation. I like my M3 just fine and would likely by another one, but only at current prices and certainly not for much more. FSD was also a complete bust in my view as a driver and investor. AP has been regulated to death now, so I just don't see the value. We just took all of our gains out and put it into more conservative investments now.

u/AP9384629344432 Also the best part of VOO? Even if it AI doesn't pan out perfectly at the speed we all hope for, as long as the economy is good it's going to skyrocket.

If you want a deep dive [https://businesslawreview.uchicago.edu/print-archive/unplugging-heartbeat-trades-and-reforming-taxation-etfs](https://businesslawreview.uchicago.edu/print-archive/unplugging-heartbeat-trades-and-reforming-taxation-etfs) If you want a simplified version its ETFs work because firms called authorised participants can buy ETF shares and exchange them for the underlying stock Or it can to the opposite buy the underlying stock and exchange it for ETF shares The IRS treats this as a inkind exchange. Sort of like if you have $100 bill and exchange it for 5 $20s , that exchange doesn't do anything and is not taxed. So working with AP an ETF can exchange out any shares it would need to sell to the AP an wash away any capital gains

AP said it impacted Optum, UNH and UNH Group, when it's only Change Healthcare.

I've been doing some research into the payment space to understand it better. A great and very light intro on the subject is "Anatomy of a Swipe". It's about 240 pages but lots of pictures and they keep repeating concepts in different bite-size ways to make it easily digestible. I finished in like 3 days. Highly recommend it to others: https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Swipe-Making-Money-Move/dp/1641374470 Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that PYPL is not only not dead, but its moat and core competency is still intact with opportunities to continue strengthening it. However weaknesses are real and need to be clearly stated: * Hasn't been innovating enough in all the ways the payment space is changing. Focusing on Braintree is good though. * The payment is space is wide and extremely rich in diversity. For example, technically even Uber and Lyft are payment companies. They pioneered having cash available to drivers immediately. It was a game changer for them. Now all 1099 gig companies will be like this. Merchants, contractors that have earned cash want the ability to get it immediately instead of two weeks or month later. * Increasingly merchants want lots of different services and tools to reduce expense management, control spending (devs can create custom code to limit restaurant bills entertaining for example), and PayPal probably needs to do better on this front. * PayPal's fees are among the highest and obviously merchants do not like them. Cutting those to compete could destroy margins. They do have one massive strength. Their buyer protection and brand power is actually still pretty amazing among many consumers. Extremely generous 180 day period to get a refund. For reasonably sized purchases where risk of getting scammed, it is considered a godsend. Here is an example from the wiki of r_backslash_artcomissions (mods don't allow the normal link I think). >**Use PayPal and use buyer protection.** >If an artist doesn’t accept PayPal I won’t even consider the notion of a commission. PayPal is that important. If you use almost any other form of payment you open yourself to fraud as your means of disputing the transaction are almost entirely in the hands of the other party. >PayPal has a generous 180 day dispute period, and I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the process. I have personally used PayPal safely to buy stuff from really far away countries that I wouldn't feel great just mailing a check or other payment service. I have read other stories of people buying a high quality guitar, vintage collectibles, etc. This explains why revenue and income can slowly increase if they invest in maintaining the value proposition of protecting consumers and keep developing Braintree. Ultimately the network processors like MC and V set the gold standard on how to lucratively play this space. You are the trusted middle man and you keep doubling down to make sure trust is high. Also Amex charges insane fees and merchants balk but still accept it because they know their consumers won't budge on using it, willing to go elsewhere. So while PayPal needs to stay vigilant and lots of potential disruptors, plus risk of brand erosion, I do not believe it is dead. Shoutout to u/AP9384629344432 for getting me on this play, got in PYPL at $53.00. Hope you are still holding or benefited from CROX! It's arguably a bit rich now and revenue was disappointing in 4Q, but I am still holding.

u/AP9384629344432 Regarding CELH and its high multiple...I was listening to this discussion with Chris Mayer the other day and this exchange came to mind: Chris Mayer: Yeah, this is a great secret of long-term investing in high quality businesses is that the compounding is amazing. Chris Mayer: When you more work it out on a spreadsheet, you can do 20%, 25%, whatever you want, over five and 10 years and see what those numbers are and then you can love what you did back into the multiple. I do that too all the time. I remember I did that for my investors in Copart my investors in my fund, I used Copart and I think it was 2022. Chris Mayer: ’cause I went back to 2012 and I said I. What multiple could you have paid back in Twenty-twelve and earned at least I don’t remember if it was 10 or 15% return that I used and the multiple was really high. It was like 60 some times you could have paid and still gotten 15% return your money. Chris Mayer: That’s what it was. And at the time, it was trading for 25. Terry Smith does this too. His letters. He’ll look back at some of these great compounders and say, you know what, you could have paid what the multiple could have been and you’ve still gotten a market return, or, and it’s always a surprisingly high number. Full transcript and audio [here](https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/episodes/long-term-compounding-w-chris-mayer/). Anyway, it reinforces how a company with along runway of high growth (CELH in this case) can easily justify a high multiple. In fact, the market often underestimates that growth, even in the case of high multiples. The risk, of course, is that the growth doesn't happen.

Buffett is a fucking genius still, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Shorting the Yen to buy Japan was arbitrage: >Additionally, Berkshire continues to hold its passive and long-term interest in five very large Japanese companies, each of which operates in a highly-diversified manner somewhat similar to the way Berkshire itself is run. We increased our holdings in all five last year after Greg Abel and I made a trip to Tokyo to talk with their managements. Berkshire now owns about 9% of each of the five. (A minor point: Japanese companies calculate outstanding shares in a manner different from the practice in the U.S.) Berkshire has also pledged to each company that it will not purchase shares that will take our holdings beyond 9.9%. Our cost for the five totals ¥1.6 trillion, and the yearend market value of the five was ¥2.9 trillion. However, the yen has weakened in recent years and our yearend unrealized gain in dollars was 61% or $8 billion. >Neither Greg nor I believe we can forecast market prices of major currencies. We also don’t believe we can hire anyone with this ability. **Therefore, Berkshire has financed most of its Japanese position with the proceeds from ¥1.3 trillion of bonds.** This debt has been very well-received in Japan, and I believe Berkshire has more yen-denominated debt outstanding than any other American company. The weakened yen has produced a yearend gain for Berkshire of $1.9 billion, a sum that, pursuant to GAAP rules, has periodically been recognized in income over the 2020-23 period. Tagging u/AP9384629344432. *This* is how you get international exposure IMHO. And if you can't you buy BRK or someone that can, or companies that do lots business overseas.

Any possibility of staying local and doing the equivalent of a community college and then transferring? Would help cut down on tuition and living expenses for a few semesters. I understand if his aim is for pre-law, medical school, etc, and doing so would not help him get into a target university for graduate school. Otherwise, apply for financial aid/scholarships. Other advice is to take university courses while in high school for basics (English, history, government, etc). This helps set him up to get ahead in university and save from taking basics at university for much more. For context, local community college courses for me were \~$400 vs \~$1,200. The only kicker, is to check to ensure that those credits can be transferred. CLEP/AP credits are also good alternatives but not guaranteed since you have to test and receive a passing score for credit. I'm from the US so I'm not familiar with the Canadian education system. Short-term would invest those savings into a HYSA you don't need to discuss with a local union. Would check for a FDIC bank, good yield, and ease of access (app interface, customer service, physical branches if needed).

CNBC is mostly sensationalist. Nothing really useful there besides watching it on mute to see the market tickers. As far as cable programming, I’d say Bloomberg is better. More information based and much less “circusy”. Ignore Fox Business unless you enjoy maga propaganda. For non TV - Wall Street Journal is still one of the go-to’s. Owned by NewsCorp, yes, but in my opinion still very solid. Clearly biased to the conservative side, especially the Opinion section (comment section on the articles are just as bad as YouTube comments). But overall very good reporting. The Economist, Reuters, the AP - all good news/business news sources but of course nothing is perfect.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Monday that the government intends to provide $1.5 billion to the computer chip company GlobalFoundries to expand its domestic production in New York and Vermont. The announcement is the third award of direct financial support for a semiconductor company under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act. The law enables the government to invest more than $52 billion to revitalize the manufacturing of computer chips in the United States as well as advance research and development.

It absolutely is. It's all off chain ledgering. Read the damn prospectus. An AP can withdraw Bitcoin: "The transfers of bitcoin from the Trust's Trading Balance to the Bitcoin Trading Counterparty's account at the Prime Execution Agent or to the Prime Execution Agent is an “off-chain” transaction that is recorded in the books and records of the Prime Execution Agent."

I think I learned that in AP US History

hypesauce2020

Not sure why this is getting downvotes. Here's quotes from an AP article- "Like its peers, Cisco is also sharpening its focus on areas of tech most likely to produce future growth — an adjustment prompting many tech companies to eliminate positions in some departments, while creating more jobs in the still-nascent field of artificial intelligence, or AI, which is becoming knowledgeable enough to begin tackling tasks that traditionally required a human brain. Experts expect AI to eventually be able to do even more work and trigger more layoffs of people who won’t be necessary to employ in the future. Robbins hailed Cisco’s close relationship with chipmaker Nvidia, whose leadership in AI has transformed it into one of the world’s most valuable companies during the past year, as a sign that it will also be well positioned to capitalize on the technology, too. “We are clear beneficiaries of AI adoption,” Robbins said."

ShadowLiberal

They've also long scanned social media for information to trade on to. Back when Obama was in office the whole market tanked when someone hacked the AP's account and posted a tweet saying "There's been an explosion at the White House, President Obama was injured", only to quickly recover after the AP said their account was hacked.

> As it is now, if you don’t pay for FSD, it will visualize the stop sign approaching and prompt you but if you ignore the prompt it will essentially say “ok well let’s go to Valhalla together” and won’t stop because you didn’t pay $15k. wtf lol, didnt know that. yeah definitely seems like something that you shouldn't be able to freemium. I hear you on AP, i only have adaptive cruise that I use on my VW but that has easily made it my favorite daily.

Lexsteel11

Here’s the thing- I wouldn’t pay for FSD but AP is such a game changer for daily commutes (I now WFH but was awesome when I had a 45 minute commute) and I never had any issues. As a matter of fact it actively avoided someone entering my lane that I did not notice twice. I definitely agree with what you’re saying but the “recall” (interesting term for a free OTA update but ok) was essentially that the system worked TOO well and allowed drivers to not pay enough attention. Now, one thing I think should be forced on them is to include stop sign/light interaction in standard AP. As it is now, if you don’t pay for FSD, it will visualize the stop sign approaching and prompt you but if you ignore the prompt it will essentially say “ok well let’s go to Valhalla together” and won’t stop because you didn’t pay $15k. IMO if you are enabling a car to drive itself to that extent and it fully is capable of stopping at a stop sign, you should have to provide that to the user.

Lexsteel11

So I have a Tesla and when they were forced to nerf the AP software and started nagging more based on cabin camera insights, I thought “ok that’s kind of fair”. My wife got a 2024 highlander though that doesn’t even have a cabin camera and holy shit the LTA/lane centering feature is 90% as robust as teslas AP and doesn’t nag nearly as much- why are they only coming after Tesla?
