Oh, For Fucking Christ Sake… Dojo is Gone.

Right, listen up you lot. Apparently, Elon’s little pet project, “Dojo” – the supposed AI supercomputer that was going to magically deliver Full Self-Driving (FSD) and solve all of Tesla’s problems – has been shut down. Shut. Down. After years of hype, billions spent, and a whole lot of empty promises, it’s gone belly up.

They’re now saying they can do the same AI training work with their regular servers, using existing infrastructure. Which basically means Dojo was an expensive, over-engineered waste of time and money. Surprise, surprise. They’re pivoting to use more cloud computing too, because apparently building your own bespoke hardware is hard when you’re busy tweeting about X.

The article delicately phrases it as a “shift in strategy.” Bullshit. It’s an admission that the whole thing was probably a massive failure they didn’t want to talk about. They claim FSD progress isn’t *dependent* on Dojo, which is just them trying to save face. They are still working on FSD but now with less bespoke hardware and more cloud services.

And of course, Musk is nowhere to be found commenting directly on this disaster. Because why would he admit a mistake? It’s easier to blame the algorithm or something.

Honestly, I’m not even surprised. This whole FSD thing has been a joke for years, and Dojo was just another layer of delusion piled on top. Don’t expect any miracles anytime soon. Just more incremental updates and increasingly frustrated Tesla owners.

Speaking of failures, I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone trying to use a potato clock as a network time source. A potato clock. People are idiots. This Dojo thing? Slightly less ridiculous, but not by much.
