Musk is all over the place lately, claiming his Xai bots are doing practical work in the factory already, and will be ready for mass deployment “next year”, Which ought to be his nick name now. “Next year Musk”.
He also claimed a few days ago that robo-taxis were only months away.
New model cars from Tesla planned to arrive next year, should be moved up to arrive this year instead.
The man must be desperate or on coke or probably both, he has always over-promised and under delivered, but these latest promises are over the top even for him.
Fully functional robotic taxis are already here, they’re just not made by western companies. It’s doubtful musks will ever work at this point, his “fully-automated self-driving” is vaporware.
Noo that can’t be it, he has said it’s prescribed and only a low dosis. /s
Whatever he is on, I definitely don’t want it, seems he is getting more and more crazy.
In 12 months when he gets called on it by debtors (since Shitter has no shareholders) he’ll try to buy Pluto TV and claim that was the plan the whole time.
Imagine being so entrepreneurial that you think you need to buy twitter for way more than its worth in order to develop an app that does something entirely unrelated.
Not too surprising. I’m not sure I’ve actually seen anyone adopt their new ad technologies yet and nothing is listed in my browser. If their competition hasn’t adopted it but they have, it’s definitely anti-competitive for the ad market if they just shut off third-party cookies and only affect other companies (which seems to be what’s delaying it with the UK’s CMA).
Google has a dominant position in the advertising industry with AdSense and their other advertising-related products. Google also has a dominant position in the browser market with Chrome. Google can’t use that dominant position in the browser industry to make changes to their browser that would negatively affect their competitors in the advertising industry without consulting competition authorities which are trying to make sure they aren’t intentionally harming their competition in the ad market using their dominance in another market (the browser market) to benefit themselves. Firefox is small enough (and generally doesn’t have any other services they could leverage) that they can just make changes to their browser without running afoul of any competition concerns.
There’s also the advantage that Google has when it comes to the large number of popular first party services they have, like Gmail, Search, YouTube, etc. Using those services alone, they may be able to develop a profile of a user that’s better than the competition would be able to do with the new Topics API, Protected Audience API, etc and thus even just getting rid of third-party cookies without a replacement might be seen as anti-competitive. This is probably why places like the EU are also forcing services to make it possible to unlink those services and not have the data shared between them.
