    the full quote is… oof

    A young Chinese auto engineer who once worked for Tesla here told me: “Now everyone is competing over how much A.I. is being inserted. Now you brag about how much A.I. you insert. Everyone is committed. ‘I will use A.I., even if I don’t know how right now.’ You are preparing for that, even if you are on a simple production line for manufacturing refrigerators. ‘I have to use A.I., because my boss told me to.’”

    stupid investor hype is apparently universal

      porky-happy: “Hey hey…why don’t the poors use AI? Don’t be a luddite, kiddo! It’s the fuuuuuture!”

      yes-honey-left: “I use AI every day from my 2017 car’s safety features.”

      It’s probably the case, but isn’t there like with EVs, you go somewhere to charge them and grab a bite and then your car texts you when it’s done charging? I know that’s how Tesla sold the superchargers back when I was a lib and thought Muskrat was the coolest person ever. Just call that “AI”.
