This post from @pluralistic captures some of the dread dredged up by my recent thread on using LLMs for coding: pluralistic.net/2025/03/13/eleโฆ
> "Code reviewer" is a much less fulfilling job than "programmer." Code reviewers are also easier to replace than programmers. A code reviewer is a reverse-centaur, a servant to the machine. Every time you hear "AI-assisted programmer," you should substitute "programmer-assisted AI."

Why do I not include Bunny CDN?
As far as I can tell, they're a shell company. Nothing of theirs is theirs, and they share everything about you with 12 different American companies, including a company called, Activity Campaign, which has such close ties with Facebook, I'm surprised we don't own them. bunny.net/privacy/
In truth, when using Bunny CDN, I don't know if you can actually claim to have escaped Us Jurisdiction. I mean, technically, the company is located ins Slovenia, Europe. But they lease (rent) 19 servers in the USA, which wouldn't be so much an issue, if they also didn't make it part of their business model to share all your information with 12 American companies too.
This does not seem like a company that if the US Government said, "hey, we don't like random, can you do something about them" I doubt they would be in a strong position to tell them, no.

Two things about these incidents of Teslas catching fire:
1. Itโs a tough one to investigate, because of course the motive might be political, but also Teslas just โขdo thatโข spontaneously on their own. (I hope nobody who owns one ever ever parks it in an attached garage!)
2. At some point, I have to imagine that the fires (both spontaneous and sabotage) are going to do wild things to the insurance rates for these vehicles. Owners selling at a loss might still end up saving money.

Teslas do not self-immolate any more or less than other EVs. Hell, Chevy had to recall every single Bolt to replace their entire battery pack.
And even with that, EV fires are very rare. EVs catching spontaneously is largly a myth propagated by fossil fuel enthusiasts.
@ch00f
And yet, just by the raw numbers, Cybertrucks catch fire at something like 57x the rate of the average vehicle.
Maybe those are all accidents, not spontaneous. Maybe theyโre all arson. Maybe maybe maybe. But be careful of coddling fascists with your pedantry.
I'm just trying to curb the spread of misinformation.
You can hate on Tesla without making up statistics and parroting the lies spread by fossil fuel companies that hurt EVs in general.
And for some math. There are currently 285 million vehicles registered in the US and around 200k vehicle fires every year.
So that's 0.07% of vehicles going up in flames every year.
57x that is almost exactly 4%.
There are around 40,000 cybertrucks on the road. So if it was really 57x, there would have been 1600 cybertruck fires.
I think even with the cases that are suspected arson, the actual count is like maybe 10?

Sorry, thatโs fire โขfatalitiesโข that are so high. Small N, but truly alarming โ and it has an obvious cause: unlike other EVs, Teslas are nearly impossible to escape when powered down (unless youโve learned the arcane manual exit procedure, which, letโs face it, very few people have).
