Unfortunately the alt-right disease isn’t limited to some arbitrary birth date brackets. It spreads to younger people all the time. You can’t just wait it out, you have to fight it, and keep fighting it.

Teslas are so bad for this, that whole “all the controls are on a big ipad” setup should be illegal.

I didn’t read too far, but,

To restrict car manufacturers and other companies from selling consumer car-related data, increase transparency regarding data practices, and for other purposes.

already skips over collecting the data, so yeah. I would guess this bill just exists for the optics, and isn’t actually intended to challenge the industry.

The working class I guess? Certainly no one with power.

‘danger to US security’

Oh yes that’s one of his finest qualities.

This is a list of people “to monitor and potentially groom”. You can’t exactly charge someone with “being monitored”.

Not to say collaboration isn’t happening—it sounds like it absolutely is, but this is not the list of collaborators.

One time they told me I had 3 days left to enjoy YouTube with my ad blocker, and then I would have to buy premium, or they would just lock me out of the site. I was like “welp, it had a good run, I guess that’s it for ol’ YouTube.”

That tactic probably did get them some preemptive subscriptions though, unfortunately.

Yeh, if I ever see my TV’s OS I’m like “fuck off! HDMI4!”

I’m sure they’ll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.

Of course it’s not only ai, but the article’s subhead: “Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets”

Can we just cancel the whole “ai” thing? It was fun for a bit, now it’s just problems.

Heh, fair enough. Riding is more fun than wrenching.

For the good of everyone, except the ones who are dead. 🤪

Yes good point… naturally “guzzling resources at planet eating rates” is quite expensive.

I’m so not sold on this AI stuff. It just seems like a fancy new way to create problems.

Madness. I’m far too lazy for that.

I’d love to ride a bike [with good brakes] down it.

After the Korean war, the North was initially much better off, economically. They have most of the natural resources, iirc. Most of this stuff was probably built before the American sanctions regime eroded their economy.
