Their stated reason for the change was the fact that In the great ai gold rush people who never contributed to the project Simply grabbed it, and without contributing anything to the project did nothing except stripped the branding and then go sell it. kind of a crappy thing to do but hey it’s the Internet. I don’t have any firsthand experience so I can’t say for sure what the deal was. we’ve seen The same thing with forks of V s code turned into all kinds of things.

Yes, but none of them were left alive.

That looks pretty amazing, and it works with OLLAMA which is awesome.

Actually kind of thinking about that, In the context of older cars, it might be that they will start getting more valuable because they don’t have computers in them. And then the police might look suspiciously at anybody driving a classic car from the 80s or something.

This is a perfect shower thought, I am personally arresting anyone who down votes this further.

Yeah that was another choice quote for sure. We make the LLMs in our own image, and maybe thats not the best idea.

To be fair, some of the LLMs like Claude had a higher profitability than humans. The average human made 800 bucks in this business and one of the latest Claude models made 2700, so it searched, picked its inventory well and achieved results. The only thing is that humans were profitable 100 percent of the time and if they experienced existential dread, they were good at hiding it from HR.

I’ll do it. There’s no need to keep reminding me every few years.

Yes but you are missing all the hot singles, and only getting the neckbeard ones.

Thank you for that talkin to, daddy. I needed that.

HR wants to have a word with you.

Sounds smart though, i dont know.

If it sounds stupid, it might still be stupid, but how would I even know?

Please bring sweeping back. Sweeping is cleanly and good.

Aptera has a 15 year history now of only producing prototypes and being restructured/resold. Granted there were some problems not caused by the current founders but the marketing is misleading as to exactly where they are and when they will actually be able to build these damn cars. I am no longer a believer. There is a reason why there are no major VCs behind this, even though they were enthusiastic over a decade ago. During the same time Tesla became a household word, and Nio and Rivian came into being and actually produced more than prototypes. Why are they so uninvestible? Why did all these other companies get the big investor dollars and not them? Why all these years, and no product? Each question seems to lead to other things that just don’t make sense.

I got taken in by their promo 5 years ago, wanted it so much to be real, but the “factory” as of one year ago doesn’t have any actual machines despite raising millions of dollars. The influencers literally just do the factory tour which is like 5 places where there are presentations, and follow the yellow markings where the “factory machines” will be. But its all made up. They can literally fold up shop in a day or two and be gone. Pretty long standing grift though, you have to give them that. The influencers all who are incentivized are the only thing keeping it going.
