Hey Tesl-errr, I mean, Grok.
Yes, fräulein
Uh... read me a story
Certainly
The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses' attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc-
I think it is a brilliant idea for Swasticar owners - it will drive over/eliminate everyone with darker skin without driver input!
Man the actual cyberpunk sucks ass.
Even the bugged release version from 2077 was better than reality

Your car’s AI will be telling you to drive off a bridge next.
Telling you?
It's going to do the driving for you...
I am old and have an old vehicle. Forgot about the self driving stuff for a minute.
At some point Grok is going to take over the driving and just start running over minorities. Mark my words
So you want Grok, a racist LLM, to have control of vehicles with driverless features. How long until Grok commits a terrorist attack?

Cars?
Oh, you mean nazi buckets?
Calling teslas “Swasticars” and CT’s “”Wankpanzers” was supposed to be a joke.
Bad day to be a jewish Telsa driver.
Thanks for the chuckle, that got me good. I just imagined an old Jewish man groaning "Oy vey..." after starting his car and seeing a greeting message along the lines of "HI! I'm MECHA-Hitler, your new onboard Ai assistant!"
(It's a surreal dark-humor chuckle, not an antisemitic chuckle, just to clarify, since this is the internet...)

He's really leaning into the Swasticar thing isn't he?
Tesla owner: "I don't care about politics, I just like the car. I'm not a bad person!"
car is in the background screaming, "Jews will not replace us!!"
They can run the model locally on the car's onboard NPU/GPU, so every time the driver asks the car a question, the model can take compute away from the car's driving software. "Hey, Tesla, why are trees green?" Dashboard goes dark, car drives off road
Although to be fair, they already do that last part.
I was about to say, that might make the car safer on net!
Less compute means less bandwidth to hallucinate demons in front of you on a totally unobstructed straightaway.
Remember this is the same guy that has increased the price on vehicles people didn’t yet receive but already paid for. He asked people to pay more for already purchased vehicles they have not received.
We’re still waiting on self driving, Elon. Where’s self driving, Elon? Stop giving your devs extra work and implement self driving, Elon
Tesla will go bankrupt before self driving is released.
Imagine asking it for directions and it starts talking about white genocide in South Africa, lmao
I was thinking it only lets you "turn to the right". No left turns allowed.
Worse, it figures out the driver isn't white and forces them into oncoming traffic.
If it determines their name sounds like (((one of them))), MechaHitler could lock its doors and detonate its batteries, helping to continue its namesake’s mission.
Or starts running over non-white pedestrians
Oh, so that's why they insisted on vision-only! LiDAR isn't racist enough
Coming up next week: Captchas where you have to click on all the pictures containing non-white people
Clicking the picture deploys a missile

Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.
In general, with tools these LLMs have the ability to bring the next generation of Alexa / HomePod like devices (though I am not sure Amazon has delivered on that vision yet)
I like the idea of running a Llama based "Assistant" that would not require all my data leaving my house which could also be accomplished with these features.
In my car though... just use my fucking phone and get out of my way
(Getting downvoted... OK :) My definition of "mildly interesting" feature may be unpopular.)
They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.
Plus, the Chinese ones get to wear funny hats! Here is one dressed up as 
.
I'm not going to downvote you just because we don't share the same perspective, that's dumb. I hope you're having a good day :)
I don't want to talk to my car though. I see voice recognition as potentially useful for hands free control, which does have meaningful value, but I don't need an LLM or any form of generative ai for that
I don't want to talk to the combined informational model of twitter while driving my car. I don't want to talk to the combined informational model of the rest of the internet either.
Asking for weather or directions or whatever, sure, but that doesn't need an LLM, and certainly doesn't benefit from grok specifically
The hat is very cute though.

That would be fine if we could trust businesses, but... :gestures at the last half-millennium:

My guess is that some hardcore Musk followers must be very lonely at this point, so much so that they prefer talking to chatbots.
Lmao, rip.
