sometimes I worry about how some of y’all react to any kind of technology. every site has an algorithm that’s how programming works. AI is a blanket term for a certain type of code, it’s not automatically evil. electric cars being made consumer available is a good thing even if the ceo of the first company to do so is a bit of a dick.

#this has been a post #I have other gripes with the way teslas are constructed but some of y’all act like the fact that there are electric cars #that are a little more expensive than gas cars #is some sort of evil in and of itself #and not. idk. a step in the right direction? any new technology is gonna be expensive before it’s accessible #and if nothing else Tesla proved that there’s a market for electric cars paving the way for other companies to put theirs on the market #General Motors (I think?) had the technology for electric cars as early as the nineties and didn’t put them out because they didn’t think #they’d sell #(source: my grandpa’s name is on the patent. he’s the guy who figured out how to make them run and not rely on a gas starter)
