  • They seem to like blurring those lines. As though the agents being in danger is part of the goal.

    Makes you wonder, what government wants the spark to ignite the powder keg? That would be like packing the Reichstag with flammable stuff and telling a local arsonist about it -- OH.

  • I may be from a hive of scum and villainy (southsiiiiide!), but also I have jumper cables, so back up while I take care of this.

    DHS Agents Arrest Man by Pretending to Be Stranded Motorists… A Ploy to Get The “Worst of the Worst” Who are Midwest Nice

  • Quirk of the video - he has a high power flashlight under the barrel, I think. Illumination looks like flash, but the lack of "flinch" tells me there was no loud sound when we see it.

    Oh and they didn't shoot 6 random bystanders, which I'm pretty sure they would.

  • Yeah, lived here most my life, and while I've never gotten stuck where I needed the assist, I am that stranger with a shovel.

    For locals to not help is deeply non-normal and inhospitable behavior in the Midwest.

  • If I stop posting because I've been sent to camp, just know... I did it for comments like this <3

    Bahaha, thanks!

    Yeah, I've got you, I think these links should work, but no guarantees if you're blocking videos or whatever:

  • The Sheriff whose officers are presumably being trained that it is Bulletproof with a big B, that guy doesn't know.

    It's an information-environment thing. If you go far enough to the right in the USA, you get a very different set of information sources.

    Those information sources think the Cybertruck is bulletproof, because Elon said that it was (we actually talk about that piece in the article).

  • I appreciate you, Gollum, and I agree that that is a great video...

    ... Which is why that video is linked in the article under the heading:

    "Cybertrucks Are Not Bulletproof. Watch This Guy Shoot Holes in One to Prove It."

  • As I typed it I read it and I was like "do I shoot my shot and make the joke?" and I had a rare moment of self-restraint

    But Grok would be like "you had me at 𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫"

  • I'm... very sad at how germane that question is in 2025.

  • Us embracing that

  • That's the rub. Sometimes you don't know the utility of a tool until you build it. The future is weird that way.

    Who would have thought WHAT people would chat with ChatGPT about? Like, romance? WTF? That's strange, call it emergent behavior, the final utility was unexpected.

    In my head, I anticipate the tool going down the track of voice assistants from the pre-AI phase, so just like Alexa for directions or simple searches, but local to the car. Maybe unintended utilities will arise? If it can do directions and music and web searches, I guess, we don't really know what other utilities drivers will find for it yet?

  • I respect your take :)

  • I was about to say, that might make the car safer on net!

    Less compute means less bandwidth to hallucinate demons in front of you on a totally unobstructed straightaway.

  • (Getting downvoted... OK :) My definition of "mildly interesting" feature may be unpopular.)

    They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.
