The Air Canada AI chatbot gave wrong policies to someone around bereavement flights, went to court, and Air Canada lost having to refund the ticket price difference.
They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for the Ai.

So at least in Canada we have some precedent that if their AI pricing fucks up, it’s their own fault.

around the world by up to 50%.
While doing a product change over of their best selling vehicle.
Sales are still down, almost certainly because of Musk, but it’s not as dire everywhere like that either.
E.g Spain where sales were bad and people like to cite a large number, was up 60.7% in June YoY. When you look at H2 2024 vs 2025, now it’s only down 0.9%. 2024 was already a low year, so being lower than 2024 isn’t good, but it’s not like a monthly number makes it look.
They are still down in nearly every market yes, but you trying to imply its 50% in so many places and things are dire would also be shoddy journalism not taking into account the change over.
The UK for example only started getting the new Y in June, lets see what the UK in Q3 looks like with a full quarter of Y deliveries. It’ll be down, but how much down.
Edit: Some clarity and other examples, but I also want to add, see how much more complicated an article can get rather than just focusing on the Cybertruck objectively on it’s own?
Edit: Also you can’t even buy the Standard Range RWD Model Y in all markets yet (~5k USD cheaper), but again, not that this alone will reverse the generalized sales decline induced by Musk.
The Mark Rover video showed the autopilot will continue anyway once the “object” is no longer in sight of the system
Ya, it would definitely do that, it’s just traffic aware cruise control. It’s probably part of why autopilot will turn itself off when a collision is imminent, because it’d probably just drive off after if it didn’t. It’s clear ahead? Go! I think the other reason is I think the true AEB system (not AP deciding to stop, but the AEB mechanism that’s always on) overrides it, and turns it off. Like the two are mutually exclusive systems. That’s just a hypothesis though. Simply ensuring the vehicle doesn’t continue after might be reason enough.
All Teslas have AEB (automatic emergency braking) which is active at all times.
It’s not a stop for a light or stop sign type thing, but it will try to slow the vehicle if a crash is imminent.
Never expect AEB in any car to reliably prevent a crash. That’s not it’s main purpose. Reducing speeds is. It will have more success at prevention at slower speeds.
Edit: You can watch the EURO NCAP testing of it here on the 2025 Model 3

They might think it’s code and deploy there, and you’re not actually making a legitimate threat they could come after you for somehow.

All push notifications go through APNS on apple. That’s Apple Push Notifications Service.
APNS requires the device to authenticate with it and can uniquely identify the device by an id. Its how it sends messages to devices.
Firebase cloud messaging acts the same way for true push notifications.
You don’t need to audit a device using APNS or FCM on Android to know that it is not anonymous.
Ya, for sure. My beef was just with people saying you can roll your own, but glossing over the reduced user experience and reliability if you do.
With those trade offs it’s absolutely doable and makes sense for certain situations.
Ya, it can be brutal on battery.
I worked on an app once where delivery was critical, so we gave them the option of the active service+websocket, but for them the trade off was acceptable.
Pushes can be pretty flakey given all the shenanigans OEMs do on the device, even when marked as high priority correctly.
And the even worse part is when OEMs reset battery saving flags the user had set to help pushes get through and they stop working one day because of it.
Every few trips to Costco already seems too often, but it is delicious.
They don’t treat their people like shit, they treat them like slaves. In countries outside China at that.
It’s actually not possible to build a push service like FCM or APNS on Android and have it function at the same level as FCM. FCM has special permissions to bypass certain device states on the device to ensure message delivery that nothing else can match.
The best you can do is approximate it with an always active websocket and a foreground service always running with battery optimizations disabled, but good luck not having that foreground service shut down on occasion as well. Devices are hostile to them for battery saving purposes. You’d have the best luck with a Pixel device though for something like that. You could also do some sort of scheduled background polling, but the device can be hostile to that as well, and it would eat more battery.
You don’t even need to audit a closed source app to know that Apple knows which devices its sending pushes to. It works because they know.
I think he thinks HE had to store the information, and if he isn’t the one storing it, it’s anonymous.
Except, on Android, you can also do it where only google stores the information and he doesn’t have to store any. And there are no user name or passwords or accounts involved to listen to specific channels like he claims.
You can collect this information, and you’d be able to write a more custom push service, but it isn’t needed at all, but Google and Apple will always know who is getting the messages.

He really must be thinking just about himself, and not that Apple had the info.
Just figured I’d add Apples own documentation as well
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/registering-your-app-with-apns
Apple Push Notification service (APNs) must know the address of a user’s device before it can send notifications to that device. This address takes the form of a device token unique to both the device and your app. At launch time, your app communicates with APNs and receives its device token, which you then forward to your provider server. Your server includes that token with any notifications it sends.
How do you suppose APNS knows which device to deliver the notification to?
Something that… links it to the device? Like, a unique ID that Apple can identify?
It sounds like he thinks HE has to store this information, which is simply incorrect. It will obviously be stored by Google in Firebase, and by Apple wherever that gets stored, but HE does not have to store it.
I write apps for a living. I have users subscribe and unsubscribe to channels, and at no point is there a user account with password involved in either iOS or Android. If you want the memory of which channels they have subscribed to to persist across uninstall/reinstalls or different devices, then yes, but for an app like this you don’t need to persist those settings.
At any point the government could subpoena who’s received pushes (or at least, who’s registered to) from both Google and Apple.
You wanna go to jail hosting that server? You want to be extradited from another partnering country to the USA for inciting violence? For accessory to murder if something went wrong?
How is the link indelible when it’s anonymous? This isn’t money that can be traced back to you once it goes through Tornado Cash, or if it was done on something like Monero.

“Our ICE agents, all of our federal agents who are working hand in hand on these task force[s] — our federal agents from the Justice Department could be injured,” Bondi said Monday on “Hannity.”
“He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are. And he cannot do that. And we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out, because that’s not a protected speech. That is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country.”
