The California Department of Motor Vehicles will not suspend Tesla’s sales and manufacturing licenses for 30 days because the EV maker has stopped using the term “Autopilot” in the marketing of its vehicles in the state.

The decision, issued late Tuesday, means Tesla can continue selling its EVs in California without interruption and officially settles a case that has been dragging on for nearly three years. California is Tesla’s biggest U.S. market.

I would recommend Julia. I switched to Julia from Python because (IMO) it's much faster and has better libraries.

For example, when I made videos with Python, I would have to save images and then convert to video with ffmpeg. But Julia has a library to generate videos on the fly without saving images. This is massively faster. They might have a library like this for Python now, but I'm not going back.

I don't want to post any of my work because of anonymity, but it's mostly animations of fractals, dynamic systems, etc.

Remember, CBS is now owned by a ~~Trump ally~~ zionist.

Let's be real about where the loyalties lie.

Nah, the senate is permanently gerrymandered. That's the whole point of "states".

Colbert is a religious wacko so they're probably great homies.

A few years ago I was torrenting a large collection of games without a VPN. It wasn't subtle at all. My internet connection kept getting slower and slower. I had to repeatedly restart the download for it to finish.

Afterwards my internet was totally busted. I called my ISP to complain. They walked me through some debugging but I could tell it was bullshit. Suddenly my internet started working. After I got off the phone, I got an automated text from the ISP that my internet had been reactivated.

So yeah. They can/will block your internet for downloading stuff. Use a VPN.

Car brain is a natural result of colonialism, imperialism, white supremacy, etc.

Privileged YTs are basically the same regardless of the state that controls them.

It's not just transit. We're denied health care, clean air, clean water, food, etc.

Capitalism screws everybody. It's literally destroying the planet and murdering humanity. USA is the leader.

I'll take a bot over a human shill any day. Bots are more obvious and less depressing.

Try it, talk trash about aspartame on reddit, or roundup, or atrazine, or god forbid nuclear energy,

LOL I've been there! But I feel like the average redditor is too brainwashed to notice. People shill for free.

Yeah it's kinda strange complaining about "AI" slop when the entire website is overrun with disinformation, propaganda, etc.

Can "AI" slop really be so much worse than endless capitalist/state propaganda? Probably an improvement.

Same goes for OpenAI, Oracle, Microsoft, Meta, X, USA, etc.

Kennedy is not a scientist engaged in research or clinical practice. He has no training in epidemiology, immunology or public health administration. He was chosen for this position by Trump for precisely that reason—to put in charge of the most important health institutions a man who has spent decades attacking them and seeking to undermine the methods through which scientific knowledge is collectively developed and applied.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Sunday night and Monday morning, which killed at least 12 Palestinians on the eve of the first meeting of Trump’s so‑called “Board of Peace,” confirm once again that the US‑backed “ceasefire” is a cover for the continuation and escalation of genocide against the Palestinian people.

The Trafficking Never Stopped (www.counterpunch.org)

... if Congress fails to prosecute the powerful and tear down this system today, they are not only failing to prevent the next Jeffrey Epstein from coming around, they are using federal policy to build and maintain his trafficking machine.

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State and a bulwark of the Trump administration, gave a “disquieting” imperialist speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday to deflect from the Epstein files fallout.

The winter smog is driven by a perfect storm of factors. Falling temperatures and weaker winds coincide with a spike in seasonal crop burning by farmers — compounded by already high vehicle and factory emissions, Diwali-season fireworks and construction dust. Trapped by the capital’s bowl-like geography, the pollution lingers for months.

The health impacts are severe. High concentrations of PM 2.5 raise the risk of heart attacks, cancer, respiratory diseases, strokes and dementia, local and international studies show. Almost 1.7 million deaths were attributable to air pollution in India in 2019, according to the Lancet journal. Children are particularly vulnerable, which is why the Nov. 9 protest at India Gate was organized by an advocacy group called Warrior Moms. An informal survey the group conducted across more than a dozen pharmacies recorded a substantial rise in demand for inhalers and respiratory medications in recent years, with a third of all nebulizers typically purchased for children.

A company spokesperson told Axios that the company has “not discussed the use of Claude for specific operations with the Department of War” but is instead “focused on a specific set of Usage Policy questions — namely, our hard limits around fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance.”

This is a real "AI" ad from the US government about the end of the mandatory use of the auto start-stop.

This is from the official Whitehouse Instagram.

Only things I can see that gives it away that the video is generated is the red car's brake lights being on while accelerating. The obvious stereotypes of bule haired lesbians vs the blonde.

Also they have no insignias on the cars but that's definitely a Prius and idk what the red car is, the red car might not exist in real life.

Spoting generated videos is going to get harder. However if it's obvious propaganda from the state then you should be suspicious.

It's impressive for generated video even though it is stupid as fuck. I won't get too in the weeds about why this is stupid as the point of the post is more about the use of AI in state sponsored propaganda.

Just to get it out of the way, here is why this is a stupid policy:

  • [Auto stop helps fuel economy by 7% - 26%](https://www/. consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/does-start-stop-function-really-improve-cars-fuel-economy-a1028235974/)
  • my 10+ year old car has auto stop, it can be disabled with a button, and if it needs to turn on the ac, the engine will auto start.
  • Auto stop has nothing to do with the cost of cars increasing, it's the regime's terrible policies and other factors that have driven prices up.
  • Hybrid cars like the Prius will use the electric engine at a stop.
  • forcing car companies to change features because the US president said so will increase manufacturing costs and prices.
