I'd put it on a wall.
I posted one of my original paintings on Reddit.
Two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”
Shortly afterward, r/pics reviewed my account, removed many of my old and recent painting posts, and permanently banned me as well.
What surprises me most is that the post had no links, no prices, no title of the painting, and no call to buy anything. The entire discussion was about the mood, emotions, and what people saw in the image. Judging by the comments, most people didn’t even realize I was the artist.
Personally, I see a big difference between sharing art and advertising it.
Anyway… here’s the painting that caused all the trouble. 🎨

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe.
I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰

“Amateur photograph from 1998 of a middle-aged artist copying an image by hand from a computer screen to an oil painting on stretched canvas, but the image is itself the photo of the artist painting the recursive image.” Nano Banana Pro.
ALT AI-generated image from Nano Banana Pro, mostly conforming to the prompt given with double Droste effect in the computer screen and painting. Some small details are noticeably wrong or differ between iterations of the image. Original prompt: > Amateur photograph from 1998 of a middle-aged artist copying an image by hand from a computer screen to an oil painting on stretched canvas, but the image is itself the photo of the artist painting the recursive image.
Basically impossible
The final boss in Musk's 2025 Comp Plan is achieving $400B in EBITDA.
Perspective:
$238.24 billion: Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) achieved the highest annual EBITDA on record in 2022, driven by elevated global oil prices, higher sales volumes, and strong refining margins amid geopolitical tensions and post-pandemic demand recovery.
This figure surpasses other major companies like ExxonMobil ($102.59 billion in 2022) and NVIDIA ($34.48 billion in fiscal 2024).
For context, Aramco's 2023 EBITDA was approximately $236.81 billion, still leading but lower than 2022's peak.
Let that sink in.
Feels like something more people should learn about.
If you drive a hybrid – may God help you.
This is our final warning: unless you own a diamond mine, an oil rig in Kuwait, a chain of gas stations, or a Vaseline factory – do not buy used hybrids with more than 100,000 km. You are entirely dependent on purchasing a new battery that costs over €10,000, and sometimes more than €20,000. These vehicles are not repairable because replacement cells do not exist, and the battery together with the drivetrain integrated into the automatic transmission was never designed to be serviceable. You cannot replace just one cell – when the first one fails, the rest are already worn out as they age in parallel.
Small batteries under 20 kWh survive about 2,000 charging cycles, which in practice is 40,000–90,000 km. That is why manufacturers placed warranties up to 100,000 km. After the warranty expires, these vehicles end up in poorer countries, causing massive economic and ecological damage. Those who believed hybrids were a “transition” to EVs end up with losses, debt, bankruptcies, and disappointment, claiming that “electrification is a scam.” When they finally realize the car cannot be repaired, they try to “patch it up” temporarily just to sell it and scam the next buyer.
For such end-of-life batteries we offer no service or repair, nor do we participate in attempts to deceive the next owner.
CO₂ import incentives for hybrids must be abolished immediately because they are in fact a bigger environmental disaster than Dieselgate. The CO₂ footprint of a Golf 2 1.6D burning 2 liters of oil per 100 km is still lower than that of a hybrid. A hybrid is not an electric vehicle – with its current design it completely destroys the reputation of true EVs.
Once again, we remind and inform customers: hybrids over 100,000 km have unrepairable batteries, and full replacement is required. New batteries are not available on the open market – only from authorized dealers. Used ones are risky and very likely already partially defective.
So, drive either pure gasoline, mild-hybrid, or pure electric. If you buy a PHEV – you will soon end up bankrupt.
To repeat loud and clear: BATTERIES ARE NOT REPAIRABLE. FULL REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED – either with a used “cat in the bag” or a new one for €20,000.

Robotaxi highlights video FINALLY out

This is why we go to production early and often.
An interesting issue with @robotaxi where it took us to a Starbucks, but the Google data had the incorrect location.
At drop off we were 0.2 miles from the Starbucks, so we had a short walk. Is there a way the @teslasi team could add functionality in the app so riders can update map info to correct errors or inaccuracies on the underlying map data and then this propagates to the fleet?
Being able to do this with a pin drop on the map instead of having to use an address might make this very easy and user friendly!
Or, as a bigger ask, would it be possible for the car to be able to use visual images on its own to look for a Starbucks sign and on the fly, get us closer and update the map data on its own?
