Profits for me, losses for thee

Absolutely

Cut off a nation as big and determined as China and they will just become more self sufficient.

Well LG did me a favor. Don’t buy LG tvs, Samsung appliances or HP printers.

This was worse. It had lane detection so every once in a while I could feel it jerk the wheel even though I was solidly in my lane. The only advanced feature I didn’t mind was the proximity warning when I wanted to change lanes. It was pretty clear there was a car there but I didn’t mind the heads up.

Yah, I drove a rental with these for the first time and didn’t like it. It left the high beams on far longer than I would’ve manually and when I tried to manually switch them off it would turn them back on without me knowing.

Some people also don’t know you can set your headlights to “auto” so you aren’t driving at twilight with your headlights off.

They need to make them frosted so they disperse the light and they need to design headlights that are focused downwards so they can’t hit your eyes directly.

It is insane how bright they are now and due to LEDs appear as point sources. Even if they are adjusted correctly for flat roads as soon as you get to any ripples in the road now they are aimed right into your eyes. For some reason insurers and the gov don’t recognize this problem.

When you need a step ladder to get into your truck maybe it is too high for public roads.

Keep selling these massive juggernaut trucks. There is no reason for them beyond emotional driven buying and profits. Then there is the matter of low license barriers, poor vehicle maintenance, and a lack of regular driving fitness testing. The US is also pedestrian unfriendly. I have to drive almost everywhere since there is very little within walking distance to my home. If I do try to walk there are stretches with no sidewalks and very sketchy intersections I have to cross.

How the fuck does a 75 yr old woman even climb into this thing? She must need a stepstool to do it, and I’ve seen people do exactly that.

But I need a massive truck to carry groceries and 2 kids.

The metaphor is a bit of a reach

AI is writing about itself.

The benefit is trivial compared to the cost

You’d make it harder to open doors and slower to close, wasting heat in winter and ac in summer.

I always thought there was more to be extracted from waste heat. Similarly I wonder if modern techniques could extract more from mine waste instead of opening more mines.

People who post this stuff without identifying it as fake should be held liable.

It is time to start holding social media sites liable for posting AI deceptions. FB is absolutely rife with them.
