Is it the most impressive tech demo of all time?
It's cool, sure. But was this not already possible, or did it take Elon to build it? Will it be useful in consumer cars? Will consumer cars ever get it?
Are we saying SpaceX stuff is not already more awesome than this?
I'm really happy with my Tesla and other Elon products but I don't understand why this Roadster thing was a big deal? Aren't the SpaceX rockets much more impressive?
I'm not going to actually get to drive the flying Roadster am I? Can it even fly more than like 10 seconds?

Yes you are right. I should actually put an AI on making sure my smart lights and other smart garbage are patched, even if I don't want to use the smart features, just to stop from being a malware vector into my house..
In fact I remember my refrigerator had a little QR code in the bottom right corner next to the make and model that told me to configure WiFi.
Why does my refrigerator have Wi-Fi? No idea. Do I want this feature? No. Should I configure it anyway and keep it updated and lock it to an AP that can't do anything? Yes.
Sigh.

This is a poetry of stupid and the hackers are the least guilty party here. Lets start with the obvious. Why freezers needs to be visible, why do they need to be remotely managed, why is not this done on dedicated internal network, why do they need firmware updates. How did we get to the point where a device that should be pid controller, compressor and alarm can be hacked.
My house has smart lights in it. I decided to try pairing them to my phone in case I have time to ever want to change their color one day.
After connecting the app tells me some of the bulbs need a firmware update. Light bulbs need firmware updates these days, apparently.
So yes of course supermarket refrigeration systems also need firmware updates.
Thanks for starting a thread about this!
Okay, so LLMs couldn't do arithmetic but then they could.
Then you could hand them a smartphone pic of a college textbook problem plus your answer and they'd tell you what the right answer is and tutor you on solving it if your answer was wrong.
Now they're cranking out proofs of open problems experts struggled with for years, and the complaint is the proofs aren't elegant and experts can't follow them?
Every step of the way someone said "this is the ceiling", so what's the specific limit you think kicks in right now, and why here?
