  • None of the anti-tamper measurements that are based on odometer readings would catch this, it simply measures how many revolutions the wheels are doing, multiplies that with a set value depending on the wheel circumference, and increments the odometer value accordingly. For Teslas, that number is 742 revolutions per mile.
    If the Tesla software would “accidentally” set itself to lets say 450 revolutions per mile, your odometer would simply start ticking up a mile for every 0.6 miles you actually travel.

    The only way to catch that is to use a GPS to measure how far you’ve actually travelled and do a comparison. Good thing for Tesla, GPS is an extremely rare technology nobody has access to, and with EVs, nobody ever even notices such things as “range” and “distance traveled”.
    Oh, right. So uh, how exactly did they think they wouldn’t get immediately caught…?




  • Also AI isn’t only LLMs and image generation, it’s a massive field that’s been used in different things for decades. “No AI” would mean “back to snipping movies using practical effects together from spools of film”, as basically every CGI and editing software uses something “AI” in it these days.



  • In theory.
    And it actually probably would be pretty easy to do following US requirements, seeing how lax some of the “Made in USA” labels are:

    Made in USA of Imported Parts
    …the final construction is done in our country, but all or nearly all the parts have been imported from other countries
    Made in USA with Global Components or Global Materials
    …the final product is finished in the United States. There could also be a few or no parts of the product that are made in the US, but the majority are made and imported from foreign countries.
    Assembled in the USA
    …the majority or all of the product is put together in the United States or its territories. …it’s a foreign product, with foreign-made materials that were only Assembled in the United States. -https://www.allamericanmade.com/what-does-made-in-usa-mean/

    But the logistics of funnelling $450 billion worth of parts through somewhere else would be basically impossible.
    …or they could just lie.


  • They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU countries:

    Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

    The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
