Thats so when the auto drive hits another pedestrian, the car can say "I did nazi that guy".

The Swasticar gets more swastika?

Urks, Go away you wannabe Hitler and your shitty Nazi-AI!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 23 hours ago

Grok? Oh, they mean MechaHitler

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

Swasticar, now with 50% more Nazi!

I can't wait for my car to call me a liberal Kike, then confidentiality state that it is Kaiser Hitler the memelord.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Dude. Sell your Tesla to a Republican asshole or something already. Is it really that difficult to get rid of them?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Umm, I said I can't wait to be called a slur sir.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

Grok is going to roast you mercilessly for not buying a Mercedes as it uses your Tesla to suicide bomb the nearest bagel shop.

"Would you like to hear some quotes from Hitler while I drive?"

This is so stupid.

To me, "AI" in a car would be like highlighting pedestrians in a HUD, or alerting you if an unknown person messes with the car, or maybe adjusting mood lighting based on context. Or safety features.

...Not a chatbot.

I'm more "pro" (locally hostable, task specific) machine learning than like 99% of Lemmy, but I find the corporate obsession with cloud instruct textbots bizarre. It would be like every food corp living and breathing succulents. Cacti are neat, but they don't need to be strapped to every chip bag, every takeout, every pack of forks.

There will be a day where they are efficient enough to slap into a label NFC label like this. Your beer cans could chirp you for not drinking enough.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.

Funny thing is Teslas already have something more sophisticated. They could pipe the FSD's diagnostics to a HUD as a more polished, standard 'overlay' for the driver, literally run with the car's own hardware. You'd think Tesla execs would know about that since it's literally their business, and predates the LLM craze.

...But no.

“What is the shortest route to Poland?”

Take right turn at Blitzkrieg avenue and follow Totaler Krieg street. At roundabout Kürzester Krieg take the Third Reich exit

“Which ferry should I take to England?”

Ok, playing: “wir fahren gegen england…”

Will Tesla autodrive have a sudden surge of crashing into Synagogues and jewish pedestrians now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It's going to be a fun time when that happens for the first time.

"Jew detected as passenger, locking doors and seeking the nearest cliff to drive off of."

“~~Jew~~ Palestinian detected as passenger, locking doors and seeking the nearest cliff to drive off of.”

I guess you haven't heard that grok gave itself the nickname "mechahitler."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

"Every damn time..." Yikes!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow, they really got the chatbot to sound like a right-wing debate bro shithead. They must have had a lot of training data laying around somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Musk himself, that's what they trained it on

When it finally reached Full Nazi, The Goblin declared it finished, and ready for release.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Super. So I can walk up to teslas and say "grok, I need to commandeering in order to save hitler. Open the doors and start the engine."

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It just nuts that anyone would want this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Anybody that still sees a Tesla as a viable purchase IS nuts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Probably nobody that isn't a rich tech bro or a brainwashed cultist does.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tbh I always loved the idea of an opinionated car GPS/AI, just for fun, I always thought it would be hilarious if it gave instructions with an attitude or responded to the driver in kind, depending on what you throw at it. Still not buying a Tesla, just saying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The road rage amplifier.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

agreed, but it should be GLaDOS telling you she's going to kill you after you park, not a Nazi car trying to stoke its boss' fragile Nazi ego

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Musk says next week? See you in like 2 years grok

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When it’s useless features like games, “fart mode” etc. it’s a high priority for Tesla. When it’s something truly useful like improvements to cruise control then it’s years out.

So, yeah, I expect to see this in two weeks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I’m hoping it’s because cruise control needs to go through a lot more strenuous QA than an only-used-while-parked feature like a game, but at this point, who knows.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Tesla cans start taking sudden right turns.
