In 2016 Tesla claimed to have solved the hardware problem for FSD. They lied:

https://electrek.co/2025/10/22/tesla-changes-all-cars-have-s...

Instead of "lite" versions of the software, what they should do is upgrade all cars to the latest hardware for free. Currently that's AI4.5, which soon will be made obsolete by AI5:

To quote Agent Smith, "Have you ever stood and stared at it, marveled at it’s beauty, it’s genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world. Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time."

It was HN. I didn't notice it had removed "Hundreds of" from the title and I can no longer edit the title to fix it.

I find HN's automatic title editing annoying. It's wrong more often than it's right. I think it's a misfeature.

> build the most high-tech electric cars

Teslas aren't the most high-tech these days. They have fallen behind on the hardware side, particularly in charging and batteries. Here's a charging speed comparison:

Copyright issues don't seem to be addressed by any large language model provider.

If an LLM is trained on GPL code then that code has become an intrinsic part of the model (because if it hasn't then what was the value of training on it). So shouldn't that model now also be licensed GPL?

And how do I know the LLM output is not reproducing substantial chunks of GPL'd code, making my code GPL?

It can count as native. You can turn on Native AOT compilation:

> It's worse for our users, but easier for our developers

What's easiest for both users and developers is royalty-free video formats.

AV1 is solution to these video format licensing problems. Microsoft is part of the Alliance for Open Media: https://aomedia.org/about/members/

Dolby has made direct threats to the royalty-free status of AV1: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/03/av1s-open-royalty-fr...

So Microsoft and all the AOMedia members will need to defend AV1 if they want it to remain royalty-free.

They won't change it unless you give them a reason.

Switch to macOS or Linux. That will give them a reason.

What are AI companies doing to respect open source licenses and copyright?

I'm sure they train their models on open source software, so how do I know that LLM generated code doesn't reproduce substantial chunks of, for example, GPL licensed code? If indeed there are GPL violations, what are AI companies doing to police themselves?

I wonder if open source licenses will start to include "not to be used for LLM training" clauses.

> For instance the Mozilla DOM experiments seems to use a special JS variant with a 'use component' header

As per the article, that's temporary until Component Model 1.0 is implemented natively in the browser. In the meantime, jco can be used:

> The groundwork for browser implementations is being laid today: jco’s transpile command already converts any component into equivalent core Wasm and JavaScript glue, making components runnable in any browser without native support.

That's no longer needed once native support is there.

> Users don’t care whether the code was written by AI or by hand, or which framework you used.

But users also include users of the code. There's no value in self-flagellation via terrible code or pointlessly complicated frameworks.
