I got through a collision with a bus at 25 mph without a scratch on me a few years ago thanks to side impact airbags. Absolutely nuts not to have those in any new vehicle.

I have no idea how this thing is legal - it probably isn't but lol if anyone is actually going to do anything about it until someone gets killed because of it

I assume the design is so stupid that it doesn’t fit into any of the regulatory classifications and is being treated as if it’s a moped or something.

Grok is not only an AI on X (the everything platform), it is also an entirely unrelated toy voiced by Grimes that communicates with OpenAI designed for X (the child).

https://heycurio.com/product/grok

quote:

But the toy has no relationship with Musk’s AI start-up, which also is called Grok. Curio holds the trademark on the name, and the two AI products are totally unaffiliated, Curio says. The name Grok was devised by Grimes and the Curio team, who said the word was a shortening of the word Grocket, which was coined because Grimes’ children are exposed to a lot of rockets through their father’s ownership of SpaceX.

...

Curio also envisions Grok as an assistive technology for parenting. For instance, parents may be able to create a prompt for bedtime and Grok might go into bedtime mode, in which the toy redirects all conversations with the child toward bedtime, or Grok gets sleepy himself.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone floated the idea to name her stupid toy Grok, then she, with her drug addled brain, convinced herself she came up with it, told Elon about it, then he decided to steal the idea after she sued him for their kid.

That wouldn't surprise me, but I also would not be surprised that the woman who made a concept album about the Dune novels (including references all the way up to Chapterhouse) had heard the word "grok" before.

it was interesting hearing about Liz Bruenig's experience doing ketamine therapy to treat chronic depression. is it crazy expensive? sounds neat

google says anywhere between $400 and $2500 per infusion and it's not covered by any insurance

i have a friend who's bipolar and whose depressive cycles can last months and if they had the patreon bucks they'd absolutely give it a shot because the alternative sucks so much
