After almost a decade,Tesla Roadstar does not have a release date, all fraud?
The Tesla Roadster, announced in 2017 with a promised 2020 release, still has no confirmed production date as of 2024. Despite deposits being taken, multiple delays have led to skepticism about the vehicle's launch timeline.
Background
- The Tesla Roadster is an electric sports car announced in 2017 as a follow-up to Tesla's first car (2008 Roadster). Promised specs: 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, 620-mile range. It was meant to be a "halo car" showcasing Tesla's capabilities.
- Almost seven years later, no release date. Original 2020 target was repeatedly delayed. Tesla still accepts $50,000+ deposits but hasn't begun production.
- The article's title says "Roadstar" (a common typo) and calls it "fraud" — the argument is that Tesla took money for a car it may never build.
- This fits a pattern: Tesla often announces products years early (e.g., Cybertruck announced 2019, shipped late 2023). Critics say this is misleading marketing; supporters say engineering delays are normal for ambitious new vehicles.
Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.
Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.
Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
