Apparently, we will have a large neural network supported by the processing of Tesla cars.
Translation: Elon Musk desperately searches for buzzwords that will boost the stock of his failing company.
And stupid investors will open their wallets for the buffoon
Another reason I’m glad I don’t have one.
Here’s the article. Basically he wants to steal computing power from privately owned vehicles when they are sitting idle and then pay those car owners nothing for the power consumption.
In other words he wants to hijack your Tesla’s cpu and make YOU pay for the privilege
Unless I’m folding proteins to solve medical conundrums… No thanks.
For someone who supposedly hates communism he seems to be really pushing hard for anyone who is not at least a millionaire owning no private property of their own lol
I think that sounds more like a feudal fiefdom than communism
Very true! Good point! I’m sure Elon would be much happier if we all collectively agreed that he is the new God King lol
Eh, at least feudal Lords offered protection from barbarians…
Is he going to be paying owners for the use of their hardware? Doubtful.
First mistake: you think you own that thing. Nope. Tesla thinks they still own it. You are just a user who paid big money for the privilege to be a beta tester.
Is this guy dumb? He is killing his best asset for pennies?
Yes I mean, have you been living under a rock for the past several years?
A botnet on wheels. You can say that’s never been tried before I guess. What’s next, crypto miners?
In the perfect world it would be a great thing to do. Old enough people should remember SETI screensaver. But we are not living in a perfect world and I would never buy a car and participate in expenses just to make some rich clown even richer.
Surely their cars have general-purpose CPUs, not especially suited for this? Don’t you need a GPU and gobs of RAM?
Keep digging Musk
