I bet the majority of the users nowadays hadn't even been born back when we were enjoying our hot grits.

I don't see any need to protect people from their own stupidity more then necessary. Credit ratings do serve that process, but anyone buying a 5 year corporate bond paying 15% when a 10 year treasury only yields 5% surely understands why the price is so low (hence yield so high).

Don't even need a ramp to fly either.

Overdesigned.

You can easily go airborne in an ICE car too. Poland had this tech in 2020.

Perhaps, but basically useless at road legal speeds

If you have the money, it's hard to beat a Veyron/Chiron as a drivable supercar that you can throw around corners at high speed without a lot of skill.

The styling seems totally misconceived. If you want an expensive car to park in central London, then it better look expensive, and a $50K deposit car presumably isn't going to retain for the multi-million price tag also needed to impress.

This car is borrowing styling from the Cybertruck, which was designed to appeal to a totally different audience.

This is basically just a trillionaire having fun - nothing wrong with that. but might have been better received if he disassociated it from Tesla and just presented it as a hobby project.

Inability to compete with Chinese EVs (Teslas cost 2-3x more at every price point) has nothing to do with salaries.

A Tesla model 3 only has 10-15 hours of human labor in it, IOW $1000 - $1500 at $100/hr. This does not even begin to explain the price difference.

Right - this is the Teslabot "man dancing in a spandex bodysuit" stage of demo, except all we get is a video not even a real-life fake.

6 years after spandex-man it seems Teslabot still can't actually do anything autonomously.

Apparently not only did it take 7 humans, but it took 5 months, and the design of Anthroipic's Scion is an exact ripoff of a Meta source control system called Mononoke.

So, Anthopic's coding agents, even with a stolen (or should we say "distilled"?) specification of what to build, still needed help from 7 humans,. and still took 5 months...

Right - it's like you have explosive diarrhea, and rather than going to the doctor you just buy a bigger toilet.

Judging by some of the bugs in Claude Code, either there are/were (they are still hiring) no competent developers there, or they just have a religion of trying to have the AI fix the code, even when it is incapable of it.

The famous CC screen jitter bug had the most simple and obvious explanation you could imagine (they were clearing each screen area before they wrote to it), yet the bug persisted for months with users complaining about vocally!

I don't recall any major distributed version control system before git, other than Bitkeeper. Most people were using things like CVS that required you to checkout/lock files before working on them.

Linus wrote git because Bitkeeper revoked the open source license for it.

> 7 engineers achieved this. Impressive to say the least.

Not really.

Linus wrote git single handled in 10 days.

The real question is why Anthropic had any humans involved. A source control system isn't exactly rocket science, yet apparently their AI couldn't handle it without a team of 7 humans also involved.

Someone needs to hack them and have their AI guru tell them all to wear orange and pointy tin-foil hats.
