I went with a different brand too. One that just gave all those options as part of the basic package.

The assumption is that every peasant on the road will stop, move out if their way and politely greet them because of the higher BMW status. Just as they in turn have to defer to a Bentley or Rolls Royce. The hierarchy of cars.

Meanwhile USA east and west coast are looking into joining Canada (and EU?) while Trump is looking into convincing Canada’s oil producing provinces to join becoming states.

People wanted change. They’re going to get it. Not the one they voted for probably.

At that point they’re just the responsibility circuit breaker, put there to get the blame if things go wrong.

With Uber that was indeed the plan and it worked. The same plan was there for AI, but AI isn’t doing so well on the whole overtake and starve out thing. They’ll have to jump directly to hiking prices. So it’s only kinda like Uber.

Age verification on wifi, got it.

Elon didn’t want unions. Scandinavian didn’t want his cars.

Radiators in space are a proven tech. In practice that just means more expensive to build and launch.

“Frozen water within frozen water? How unexpected.”

A million satellites he says. That’s 100 satellites per starship launch. 5 times per day, every day, for five years. By the time you’re done, the first ones are burned out and you have to do it all again. And that’s assuming one GPU per satellite because solar panels even in space can’t pull enough power to feed multiple of those hungry things.

High-quality documentation assumes there’s someone with experience working on this. That’s not the vibe coding they’re selling.

It actually takes a bit of skill to set up a decent workflow/configuration for these things

Exactly this. You can’t just replace experienced people with it, and that’s basically how it’s sold.

Hah, they wish. It’s a business, and they need a return on investment eventually. Maybe if we were in a zero interest rate world again, but even that didn’t last.

So far, there is serious cognitive step needed that LLM just can’t do to get productive. They can output code but they don’t understand what’s going on. They don’t grasp architecture. Large projects don’t fit on their token window. Debugging something vague doesn’t work. Fact checking isn’t something they do well.

Only until AI investor money dries up and vibe coding gets very expensive quickly. Kinda how Uber isn’t way cheaper than a taxi now.

Very strongly!

So kids, use blocks of ice inside the snowman to reinforce everything. Ice can reasonably be expected inside of snow.

It’s the same people enjoying destroying mailboxes with their car.

It’s way easier and (initially) cheaper to criminalize it and strut around saying you fixed the issue than actually dealing with the circumstances that cause the problem and roll out solutions that’ll only see result in the next election cycle.

Precarious circumstances creates drug addictions.
