Elon Musk Claims Tesla Will Build Humanoid Robot
August 20th, 2021This was very cringe inducing.
Via: Cnet:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled a humanoid robot called the Tesla Bot that runs on the same AI used by Tesla’s fleet of autonomous vehicles. A functioning version of the robot didn’t make an appearance during Musk’s reveal, though a slightly bizarre dance by a performer dressed like a Tesla Bot did.
The unexpected reveal came at the end of Tesla’s AI Day presentation, with Musk providing few details about the slightly creepy, Slenderman-like robot beyond a few PowerPoint slides. The 5-foot-8-inch robot is expected to weigh in at 125 pounds and be built from “lightweight materials,” he said.

Why Would Anyone Pay $500,000 for a Painting by Hunter Biden?
August 19th, 2021Via: Guardian:
Who parts with that much cash for the work of a new, not exactly critically acclaimed, painter? We may never know. Hunter’s new career raises obvious ethical issues for his father and, in an attempt to avoid accusations of influence peddling, the Biden administration has asked the gallerist to keep all information about the buyers and prices of Hunter’s work confidential. The gallery has also agreed to reject offers that seem suspiciously generous.

Taliban Vow to Ban Heroin
August 19th, 2021I doubt it.
The Taliban’s near elimination of opium production back in 2000/2001 is probably one of the main reasons why Uncle $cam spent the next couple of decades in Afghanistan, making it the top opium producer in the world.
Is all of that hard work over now?
While I’m just guessing, the tons of weapons left behind by the U.S. remind me of the Contra drugs for guns operations from the 1980s, except on a much larger scale.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is an Excel spreadsheet somewhere with all of the weapons left behind for the Taliban and a deliverables column with some number of tons of opium and/or heroin.
How much opium and heroin is all of that military hardware worth?
Unknown, but see, Billions in US Weaponry Seized by Taliban:
It is unclear exactly how many weapons have fallen into the hands of the Taliban, but the Biden administration has acknowledged it’s a “fair amount.”
“We don’t have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone, but certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Tuesday. “And obviously, we don’t have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.”
Mmm hmm. A fair amount. Sounds about right.
Maybe the Taliban will be handing over something else at the airport, or driving “it” out over the bridge that the U.S. built for them.
Via: AFP:
Heroin production has boomed in Afghanistan in recent years, helping fund the Taliban, and experts say they will struggle to wean themselves off the profitable trade despite their promise to do so.
Speaking Tuesday at a first press conference since taking power, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid promised that the new government would not turn the world’s leading producer of opium into a fully-fledged narco-state.
Restaurants, Businesses Sue New York Mayor de Blasio Over Vaccine Mandate
August 19th, 2021Via: New York Post:
A group of restaurants and businesses have filed suit against Mayor Bill de Blasio in opposition to a mandate requiring proof of vaccination at city eateries, gyms, movie theaters and other establishments, new court papers show.
The businesses argue that the mandate violates their constitutional rights and unfairly targets certain establishments but not others like churches, grocery stores, schools, offices and medical facilities, the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Staten Island Supreme Court alleges.
The suit says that the mandate is “arbitrary and capricious” for a slew of reasons including that the highly contagious COVID-19 Delta variant can spread among both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, the court documents claim.
