What Hacker News says?

  1. Shameless plus, I wrote a few paragraphs on this very topic a while back: http://jarbus.net/Forgiveness A core thing I want to mention is that Forgiveness doesn’t excuse actions, nor does it mean you need to associate with people. Forgiving is purely about letting go of anger.

  5. Shameless self promotion, I wrote an article on this a while back: https://jarbus.net/Tesla-and-False-Advertising-In-AI Elon Musk is just blatantly falsely advertising FSD by this point. He's trying to sell a technology that a) doesn't exist, and b) has no guarantees of being ready anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised if people started demanding refunds pretty soon.
