The effort is totally unsurprising. The effect it seems* to have had is so disgusting and depressing.

Anyone who bought into the Hyperloop concept should never been allowed to be in charge of anything in the public realm again. Thinking boring tunnels would be cheaper than laying rails above ground. In California
It’s depressing that in this day and age so many humans still let themselves be fooled like they were Iron Age goat herders being told by a dude that a burning bush told him he should get people to do what he wants

If you're a Tesla stock owner you probably know what you're letting yourself in for. Buy the ticket, take the ride and all that...

Yeah, I'm going to file that particular one under "who gives a shit". He's got far worse things going on than just having bad opinions about some TV show.

The interesting thing about it is that his weird fan base now think Gaiman made the new LOTR series and are berating him for not making a better show while he sarcastically apologises to them.

Although it has reminded me that I never did finish watching American Gods. Maybe once I find time to finish Sandman.
They were Garth Ennis stories originally, right?

Much as I am pretty firmly towards the Gaiman side of the Ennis-Gaiman continuum, I did love Ennis's little dig against him in the "bunch of goths worshipping Cassidy" issue of Preacher.

Shame because I ADORED S1. Ian Mcshane just kinda makes things good (Totally biased, American Gods is one of my favourite ever novels)

I'm no expert and have literally only watched the videos in that link, but it looks to be about ten or fifteen years behind the competition currently.

So BD are creating robots that can parkour their way around an obstacle on their hands while carrying a box with their feet while the Tesla early production model had to be wheeled out because it's a couple of months away from being able to walk. I bet robot makers around the world are shitting themselves.
Watching the videos, it did look as if even Musk was embarrassed with the state of the project. I'm guessing a few people are going to get a talking to.

The important question which no one has asked is how strong are the robot's meme game?

I genuinely do not understand this. Japan has been making robots like this for more than a decade, and they are far more advanced. They can even pick things up!
So what value is Tesla adding to this market? Aside from getting all the fans to clap like seals at another "innovation" that isn't.

Yeah, showing a robot they have been working on for less than a year, getting an engineer on stage to talk about this weird fault mode they've had on a power pcb where ceramic capacitors broke their mems oscillators because of mechanical resonance, it's almost as if AI days isn't meant as a sales pitch but more like trying to get engineers interested in working for them or something.

It's an awful take - Russia three times more people, Ukraine will lose. Forgetting about the will to fight, the motivation of troops, the need for working equipment etc.
Ukraine has a modern army with a good deal modern weapons. It is highly motivated to defend its lands. Russia can throw people at the problem, but it looks like they are turning up without supplies, equipment or clothes (as per the above!).
I believe those that say there is a risk the Russia as we know it will collapse unless it changes course away from war and stops the ever increasing and humiliating losses.
