It’s useless speaking facts to you, which you ignore because of your bias against EVs and AI. Stay in the past, and ignore reality. I’m done trying to present the true situation which you ignore. Tesla is successful, continues to be profitable, and is becoming a giant in the tech world. And my stock portfolio makes me smile.

Get over yourself and stop being a dick. I don’t think you understand technology at all. I’ve been computing since the 1960s. I worked with mainframes, minis, and micros. I worked as a programmer in multiple languages, from high-level to machine code. What are you, 15 years old? I worked as a senior systems engineer, involved in planning for new data centers. I worked as a manager of a tech team. So don’t think you know it all, I don’t but I’ve been around when it comes to computing.

No, I don’t love Tesla and Musk. I look at facts and invest my money wisely where it grows. I’ve seen my stock holdings go through a couple splits that grew 1500 percent. What do you invest in, GM?

Hey, I understand what it means to be in denial. I’ve been there myself.

But, why deny that you are love with Tesla and Musk. When you love something and want that something, you don’t go into denial. You’re even disregarding the links I posted, which were the opposite of your wishes/desires/thinking.

Now, when it comes to AI, I still say that its way overrated and over-hyped. It’s useful, but not really that intelligent. It’s just computing emulating intelligence, but a very low level. People have swallowed the hype, but, many will be disappointed. But, you can continue to be in denial about that too.

And, hey, sounds like your experiences in data-processing/computer-science are similar to mine.

But, I don’t go around bragging about it.

I started my data=processing career in the 1960s, and I worked on just about all computer platforms available during that career, including IBM and Burroushs and NCR and Honeywell and Tandem mini-computers (my favorite). I also worked on just about any application one can think of, and with all kinds of computer languages, including COBOL and C/C++ and ADA and ALGOL and Assembly languages, and NEAT-3 (bet you never heard of that one), and SCOBOL (Tandem again) and TAL (Tandem again), and various other PC languages, and much more.

I specialized in designing and programming and managing databases for different companies, and I even designed my own version of data management software.

During my 40+ data-processing/computer science career, I heard and read a lot about ‘intelligent’ emulation software, and from what I saw/read, they all left a lot to be desired. This current attempt at intelligent software ‘programming’ (AI) is a bit more sophisticated, but still not that intelligent.

All in all, you’re still the one denying reality, with all the subjects we have been discussing.

So, take a break from your love of all things Tesla/Musk, and come back to reality. EVs have met their match, and that match is that, people are not buying them as much and don’t listen to the hype of the last 20 years any more.
