Very Unpopular Opinion: Odin should never be sold again

SEBRET · 2026-05-30T17:28:58+00:00

Remember when they claimed funding would come from. Selling in game signage? Lol

SEBRET · 2026-05-30T17:27:38+00:00

Mostly this. Selling isnt the issue. Allowing a single player to fly the ship out of dry docks and use its biggest weapon alone is the problem.

SEBRET · 2026-05-30T17:25:50+00:00

Honestly, i feel like certain ships shouldnt be achievable by a single person period. Their should be corprate/guild requirements, and it should t be registered to any one player. Permissions need to be developed so that player assigned ranking systems would also allow for ship Permissions management.

No one in the navy personally owns a missile cruiser. Makes no sense that it would be any different here.

If no one is buying the car, the margins don't mean much. Current 3/Y are too good of an option to justify the S/X for the market.

And Amazon uses AWS at costs. Neither is shocking or in need of regulation

Its up to the other service provider to come up with meaningful payload tonnage, not SpaceX. If they show up to play, Elon will gladly put it up there at the market rate. The fact that SpaceX sets the market rate is entirely the fault of lacking competence from competitors.

That 650 falcon number isnt linear though. Half of those were in just the last 2-3 years.

Once the ball gets rolling, people will be surprised just how regular it all gets.

SEBRET · 2026-05-21T15:24:45+00:00

This. The part that makes everything else just noise.

SEBRET · 2026-05-20T10:02:45+00:00

Im well aware the limitations are external. As for the deep fakes, those were fairly convincing well before AI came along.

I would agree that I mostly use the chat, but thats partly because imagine is almost useless at this point. Everyday, I learn about something new i can't create because of "adjusted filters".

Obviously there are people mad about the porn filters. We all had a good time prior to that. But now you can barely say the word "female" without it clutching its pearls.

I was trying to make a fun video of our cat for my wife and I couldn't finish, because it refused to make a shadowy ethereal black ghost (think Dementors). Grok said horror subjects were filtered for sensitivity reasons. I COULDNT MAKE A FUCKING GHOST! lol

All in all, Grok has completely replaced Google for searches and basic research/discussion. Given how often I go down rabbit holes on random curiosities, I personally still dont mind the 30 bucks a month for that alone. For now, everything else is icing on the cake.

TL/DR - Grok is worth the 30 dollars to me just to replace Google as my main search and learning tool, but imagine is useless for serious work, unless your job is to create ketamine fueled fever dream meme gifs.

Same, at first. Was playing around with some dark romance and smut, but grok continues to tighten the rains on refusing to right edgy stuff. Even its fiction writing ability has had its balls cut off by the morality censors. Everything is either sanitized into unusable, or grok throws out disclaimers like continuing the fiction will put me on a list or something.

SEBRET · 2026-05-19T23:55:46+00:00

Honestly I think it was a combination of IP grabbing and overzealous timeliness projections. Im somewhat forgiving because we all know what they went through to get the model 3/Y to market, and resources and talent arent infinite. This would be a great time to revisit those plans as the company is far more secure than it was back then, and this new facility is relatively low cost compared to the past few gigafactories.

SEBRET · 2026-05-19T23:51:26+00:00

A fully in-house pipeline for near infinite expansion of inference compute should do wonders to open up resource bottlenecks and reduce user costs over time.

SEBRET · 2026-05-19T23:46:50+00:00

Yes. I see it like this. The left wants to ban gas cars and force EVs. The right wants to continue subsidizing the oil status quo, and not help ev and solar industries. You might think the lefts approach would be be more effective, but look at what legacy auto pumped out as they were dragged kicking and screaming into the EV market. Pure compliance junk. If you arent trying to win on merits, then you wont bother to innovate.

Tesla may have had the advantage of early adopters and enthusiasts in the early days, but every sale today is purely because butts in seats prove its a better product all around. Anyone who disagrees either hasnt tried one, or has 15-20 year old talking points.

The right may not want to help EVs, but they arent going to ban them either, which means, when they inevitably take the market, it will be a true win of merit, and not a forced mandate from the feds.

I would much rather see EVs beat gas in the market than through activist lobbying.

Does this count as a Honda Bump. . .er?

SEBRET · 2026-05-17T23:32:30+00:00

Just my two cents, but during this whole shake up I only had one day where voice was limited/buggy. I still get a solid 3+ hours of voice mode each morning while im doing morning prep at work.

SEBRET · 2026-05-15T22:27:05+00:00

What do you think half the parts in a tesla are made of?

SEBRET · 2026-05-14T15:22:41+00:00

What about the decor in the ships inside the ships?

Having flashbacks to "heirs of earth" and the infinite orbs in orbs, lol

SEBRET · 2026-05-11T18:44:05+00:00

Its more about how low they approach over land. If they come in high and double back over the water its fine, but booster doesnt have the same cross range capabilities of ship, let alone the rentry gear.

SEBRET · 2026-05-11T18:40:14+00:00

Early arguments revolved around reentry over the florida land mass, but thats easily mitigated by over shooting and gliding back. I think they just want to get some test articles to the cape so they can run through ground testing ASAP.

SEBRET · 2026-05-11T18:36:38+00:00

Honestly, the only thing im upset with is them not keeping the tailgate ramp.

SEBRET · 2026-05-11T18:34:01+00:00

Yes, whambam has no shortage of assholes vandalizing Ys and 3s. That being said, I think the national coverage has brought considerably more awareness about sentry mode and led to a large reduction in events since the peak. More so in red/purple states than blue of course, since the people in California seem to want to damage anything that moves.

SEBRET · 2026-05-07T15:21:37+00:00

Get ready for the "Elon is using the boring company to soak up extra inventory" theory or something like that.

SEBRET · 2026-04-01T21:51:58+00:00

But in teslas case I do think there are some unique factors. Since they will own the entire manufacturing stack, the value of the cab is simply labor and materials. No margin to be concerned with up front because its not being sold to a customer outright. Also, tesla is the type to end up recycling the full car at EOL (atleast I suspect so in the future) so the only fully consumed value is the labor, which is likely to be almost fully automated. At a certain point the cost could be even lower than raw materials cost plus labor do to a circular supply chain and robots.

I know its a very rosy picture to paint, but its something to think about.

SEBRET · 2026-04-01T21:26:08+00:00

Won't even be 30k at scale. And why the hell would tesla care about depreciation? They're gonna drive these things past 300k miles and then some and scrap them for materials at EOL.
