@patrickcmiller Was any AI used to generate that report?

@patrickcmiller From what I can tell, the evidence of what results from his choices, as opposed to those of Tesla workers, shows his departure would improve the company.

@patrickcmiller They should’ve done that before releasing the first unit, but better late than never, suppose.

@patrickcmiller Quelle surprise.

@patrickcmiller This strikes me as a fertile ground for legislation, like the rule against perpetuities in wills, but for one-sided non-liability in non-negotiated agreements.

@patrickcmiller Signed GPS, Galileo, QZSS, and INRSS signals are becoming necessities. (Entities outside the jurisdictions controlling GLONASS and BeiDou are best not to rely only any signature which might be added to those constellations’ signals, and those governments are about the most likely to spoof GNSS signals maliciously in conflict.)

@patrickcmiller Yet the default or only option in almost every app or OS feature shock scans QR codes is to navigate directly to any link in the code. I’ve yet to see one which defaults to displaying the link, highlighting the most significant part (public suffix + 1), and asking whether to “go to link,” “copy link,” or “disregard link.”

@patrickcmiller Digitally signed GPS, Galileo, NavIC, and QZSS signals. It would take a major retrofit to a lot of hardware and a lot of copies of some software, but that would address the matter of spoofing. Far from cheap, but probably important before certain tensions escalate.

(Given the current state of geopolitics, it's not advisable for to rely GLONASS or BeiDou outside their respective countries of control if one is not part of the same country's government.)

@patrickcmiller I don’t get why they don’t explicitly mandate having a second call centre worker simultaneously call the customer on the phone the caller claims to have lost or replaced. While that’s not entirely foolproof, as sometimes the call will go unanswered, any answered call while the scammer is on the line disproves the scammer’s claim. Rules and guidelines are often useful, but sometimes it’s necessary to spell things out.
