No one's made a MechaHitler joke yet?

I can't believe a developer would make a mistake like this. That's just unreal.

"AI promises to change the world for the better" - so far it's clear the world will be better for a few people. A promise that it will be better for everyone reads like "trust me, bro."

"Blockers need to be shown that their local area will benefit if they get out of the way." Benefit how? Will this be like when your city convinces you it's in everyone's interest to subsidize the latest billionaire-owned sports stadium?

"If America succumbs [to popular rage], it could cede the global ai frontier" ah here we go. The next generation of Too Big To Fail.

Just give her a little of the ole "works on my machine."

Why not ask an LLM to summarize it for you if you don't have the patience to sit with some prose for a bit.

I love how "post scarcity world" is tossed around as if the earth has infinite natural resources.

My question exactly. So far it seems like they are either incompetent or nihilistic, both of which exclude them from my trust.

Or this is finally their chance to be the smart guy who was in on the ground floor.

At the end of the day it comes down to how much money your principles are worth. People are commenting about dentists and doctors being bought out. Those strike me as the kind of people that can afford retirement without also contributing to the worsening of society.

I think the skepticism was the sincerity they were looking for.

I think it's totally appropriate to hold it against them if they knowingly sell out to scumbags. Society used to look down on selling out. We wrote songs about it. But in 2026 it is glorified.

I think there are details being left out. But several people in the comments indicate that there is a Toyota app that provides various features. I bet the app implements some proprietary bluetooth service that the head unit connects to and feeds information through. Or maybe they give the head unit a straight pipe to the internet via that service.

Then all you have to do is magically convince the owners of the magic robot to give all their products away for free.

We shouldn't be surprised people have a negative view of AI when Altman et al. have stated on stage that the goal is to replace everyone.

My embedded systems company has a very strict code quality standard that requires every single patch to be reviewed. This can be very time consuming especially when reviewing the deeper tech modules that have few experts. Imagining what it looks like to now be required to review 10x the code per day is a little dire... I can imagine developers simply turning into code reviewers for the bots. Is this the future? Or do we eventually turn the bots loose on code review as well?

We have been using Copilot for a year or two but it's not required. Any developer who asks for a license gets one. So far I haven't seen anyone get to the point of prompting it to write entire features at a time.

Then they build new stadiums that are physically larger but have fewer seats.
