This article starts out briefly explaining Tesla’s Project Dojo. Lots of skepticism, I see here. I think some of these skeptics should just hold their tongues and wait and see what happens. It may take longer than what they think it’s going to take, but eventually they will get to level four, maybe level five

From FB reply. Jeff Perry I call BS on your specious assertions. The electric grid will not have to be upgraded more than a third because the energy used by EVs is less than 1/3 of the energy of a fossil fuels car. There will no longer be drilling, refining, transporting and dispensing fossil fuels,

Dojo whitepaper released by Tesla. Most people have little concept of what AI is; the myths that surround it are masking its abilities. The ironic thing is that we see huge amounts of money go into making a computer that will emulate a human, yet there billions of humans around who could do the same
