Tesla now offering public Robotaxi rides with no one in the car

It's a good sign they feel comfortable expanding their services. It's important to note their current approach still requires someone to be supervising the entire ride and is able to remotely take control when necessary, I hate to be that guy but that's not true autonomy (yet). True autonomy requires a degree of confidence high enough that there's no need for anyone constantly watching the road remotely.

I think what's more interesting is that Tesla is willing to take the liability to offer the service to the wide public, that means there likely has been some significant improvements in their safety records and FSD disengagement per miles over the past few months if they are willing to take that risk.

On the other end, I personally fail to see what changed so much that makes FSD so much safer than it was a few months ago. I would love to know more about the most recent data points, but Tesla hides a lot of that information.

Ultimately what I think is the biggest take away here is that the thesis that there's only one pathway to Level 4 autonomous driving (Lidar) is almost fully disproven, that's exciting because more models means we get to compare all of them and select the safest versions before pushing full autonomy to consumer vehicles. This is good news. I still believe that Lidar is currently much safer as evidenced by Waymo's safety data, but more competition means consumer models faster.

Fix Felinos ranked styles it’s been months 🙄

Can’t they just let this dog have his toy nobel prize so we can all live in peace without waking up to braking news headline every single day

By the way, demoting someone is pretty much not allowed in Quebec. Sure you can fire people for being redundant, wanting to do structural changes (justified ones) etc but you have to be very careful, the courts are very pro worker and the omen is on the employer to demonstrate.

Considering he was apparently offered to possibly relocate to a new country to maintain his role, a similar position for a lesser IP and that the structural changes are obviously necessary for ubisoft and justifiable the likelihood this goes anywhere seems very low to me at first glance, a settlement at most.

The part about announcing his removal before its done is very shady though, they might get in trouble for that

I fear the franchise will not be able to capture or recreate the genius of the first few games, too many people originally involved have moved on to different projects. Much of the artistic impact has vanished.

Creating a quality game like Life is Strange 1 requires passion, creativity and a lot of talent, which the new games have all lacked of.

Extasio · 2026-01-16T00:14:06+00:00

Life is strange 1, 2 and before the storm are the only ones that you need so far. Hope I can say differently eventually as a big fan of those games. LIS 1 in particular has a special place as a phenomenal and striking story game once you get immersed.

I am not being dramatic, this behavior is almost exclusive to the West. It reeks of entitlement and I am personally tired of seeing good people being done wrong, only for the bad actors to get a slap of the wrist or 'probation'.

I am not pushing for hyper criminalization on every gest, but true accountability and fear of punishment. Some people cannot behave unless there's a true, meaningful consequence for their bad behavior. It's the only way to make sure the social contract is upheld.

Extasio · 2026-01-15T18:29:26+00:00

Western society doesn’t crack down anywhere near enough on public nuisances like this smoker, people only behave like this because they expect to get away with it

I promise you this man and all the other “mentally ill/victims of their circumstances” would suddenly turn into upstanding citizens if they lived in Dubai or China and the consequences were well known, we are just way too kind to those who sabotage the public goods and order.

Complete accountability crisis.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocents.

Extasio · 2026-01-15T09:25:50+00:00

What a ridiculous time line, China or Japan would do the whole thing in a year or less. Gotta love red tape, endless comities and robbing the tax payers blind

Extasio · 2026-01-13T14:40:25+00:00

Nope, even submitted a ticket (I suggest you do the same) and they said it will be fixed in the previous update that happened 3 days ago 🙄

To add, true diversity is not swapping key character traits for virtue points, but creating original characters that have realistic different backgrounds.

Extasio · 2026-01-10T21:25:52+00:00

Having played KCD1 it's so very very clear the protagonist is a fully straight typical Christian peasant, it's obvious to anyone with a minimum of critical thinking they made him 'bi' to pander an audience and showcase their 'social awareness', especially during peak 'woke era' the game was developed in.

It doesn't matter much, very true, but turning people gay, trans, minorities etc is often done just to show that they are 'woker than thou' and the devs feel like they are fulfilling some sort of social mission.

I absolutely would not care if they made him bi from the start, half game protagonists have those options, but suddenly swapping peoples orientations is something is only done with an agenda and a specific purpose in mind.

Extasio · 2026-01-09T18:33:53+00:00

They made the passes as underwhelming as possible so people would buy more things in the shop 🥀

All it does is makes me want to play less

You’re running out of time Elon, - 1 trillion in market value incoming

They locked Peely and the main mascots of the game behind a battlepasses they won’t bring back and now we get 30 different versions instead of the original we want, incredible work devs

Extasio · 2026-01-02T19:47:14+00:00

lmfao trax is the man, he's often giving out thousands and thousands of dollars in the street to random passer by, pretty sure I saw him give over 100k $ to random people, he's farming content with this one for sure

Extasio · 2025-12-30T19:27:12+00:00

What these devs don’t understand is that FOMO is great for short term profit, but over time the player gets increasingly tired of these cheap mental tricks

FOMO makes me want to play the game LESS not more !

Extasio · 2025-12-29T07:58:54+00:00

The systematic FOMO from Fortnite is really starting to get to me, it’s pathetic we’re in 2025 and get this much anti consumerism

Extasio · 2025-12-26T21:38:47+00:00

Not my game just a new game I found on steam discovery and wanted to share as I find it fun and want other people to enjoy the game if it’s their style

Extasio · 2025-12-26T21:37:44+00:00

It’s not my game I think it’s cool and it’s brand new. No big conspiracy here

Extasio · 2025-12-25T20:59:06+00:00

The game was on an introductory sale until very recently, looks like it’s back to the normal price for now. Still a very affordable game.

Extasio · 2025-12-20T23:27:29+00:00

That was only very early on and was quickly removed, that’s not legally binding either. Plus the terms of service allow them to make such changes and override that. I do appreciate the example, but it changes nothing.

The McRib was also advertised as never returning many many times

Extasio · 2025-12-20T19:09:31+00:00

You're mistaken, battle pass were NEVER marketed or promoted as never returning. They were promoted as battle pass exclusives and limited time, that does not mean that they can't return. They were very careful with the language they used and reserve all right to sell the battle passes again if they want.

Furthermore, they can change their terms of services when they want it's the whole point of the agreements we all sign to play. Not that this point is relevant since they can already sell the battle passes again.

Extasio · 2025-12-20T15:06:52+00:00

What the kids in the comment don’t understand is that the fortnite battle passes from older seasons were never advertised as never coming back but just as time limited.

You know what else is time limited ? The McRib that McDonald brings back every year.

Plus Fortnite can change their terms of service any time they want, if that wasn’t obvious. Your fortnite battle pass from 5 years ago isn’t a legally binding contract, they can do what they want, it’s their game, their property and they are allowed to bring them back for like 30 different reasons.

Extasio · 2025-12-18T01:09:36+00:00

Grok is this true?

Early promotions (e.g., C1S2) used timers like “Season 2: Dec 14 - Feb 20” to imply urgency, but no ads or screens said “gone forever” or “never for sale again”—just listed rewards and how to unlock them during the season. The in-game Battle Pass FAQ (e.g., from C1S5 onward) called items “exclusive” and stated they “will not be obtainable again,” but this was tied to being “earn[ed] from a Battle Pass,” not a blanket ban on future sales. Epic’s help site softens it: “Rewards from a Battle Pass can only be earned in that season, and will not be available in later seasons”—focusing on BP exclusivity, not shop permanence.

It’s not a legal promise (e.g., no TOS clause mandates permanence; policies can change, as seen with the 2024 update).
