hypnoosi··on My battle with Tesla: I want to clear my name before I die
While I understand the concerns about the company's branding and leadership, owning a Tesla is actually a dream of mine =D

Despite everything, Tesla owners report being incredibly satisfied with their vehicles (think I saw a survey the were happiest?). Performance, innovation, and environmental benefits... Unfortunately, buying one is not within my budget at the moment. It's a goal I'm working towards, and hopefully, by the time I can afford it, the issues you've highlighted might see some resolution =P

hypnoosi··on Twitter Now Showing Ads for Nonconsensual 'AI Undress' Apps
These types of applications can be easily found through a simple Google search, it raises questions about the broader internet ecosystem's responsibility in hosting, promoting, or allowing access to such content. It's not just a Twitter-specific issue but a wider internet governance challenge... this article is yet-another-click-bait in the theme of "bashing Elon".
hypnoosi··on Generative AI could make search harder to trust
It's great to hear that someone finds Replit's AI capabilities useful for accelerating their learning... However, I must point out that the post sounds like an advertisement for an overpriced product. Not poking the AI assistance in coding, it definitely can be valuable, but the effectiveness vs. cost-efficiency varies. 20 dollars per month for coding a chatbot, not worth it for me...
hypnoosi··on So Long, Twitter and Reddit
I think the problem with online forums such as Reddit or Lemmy is still just the plain old content filteration. The first thing, when opening a Lemmy server, I see is a HC political memes about free-speech... aka. yet another dopamine well. We have pretty good a LLMs, it shouldn't be hard to categorise these posts and apply some filters. I would smash the button "filter out non-nuanced political posts" so hard...
hypnoosi··on Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
I used to have a Nissan Leaf. Same trip took 30% less charge, just because of the if was driving a behind a large track most of the way.

Its not false advertising, perhaps you could make a case of inaccurate ... but that's just advertising? You are not giving the car the context to provide an accurate estimate. Also you driving style might affect the estimate?
hypnoosi··on “Autistic people can’t acknowledge when they’re wrong”
> I've never understood why people go along with things they disagree about. As an Engineering manager this happens to me a lot. The first (perhaps most important reason) is that I realise that I might have things wrong and welcome the opportunity to grown and learning. Second, I want to show my appreciation to my report by supporting her/his idea. And third, I always take to opportunity to keep my ego out of the game. I might need to manage the risk and interests, but that's just part of the job.
