"The fact that people are unimpressed that we can have a fluent conversation with a super smart AI that can generate any image/video is mindblowing to me,"

Mindblowing is that companies make all the claims about AI that are 100% unfounded. "generate any image/video"... No it can't. "fluent conversation"... Unless I have to constantly remind it about the thing it said two prompts ago that it forgot. And I PAY for AI access.

It's not anywhere near impressive. It's a party trick at best and dangerously misleading at worst.

80 year olds didn't grow up with computers, and a lot of them never adapted. We know this, easy answer. Gen Z also did not really "grow up with computers" in the way most of us here did: they grew up using content consumption devices like phones. Gen Z by and large don't even know how a filesystem works because of this. It's worse for them than the 80s year olds because at least the old people remember the thing a file system is based on and know how drawers and folders work.

So it's really not a surprise that there is yet another way in which they aren't very good with "computers". They also don't care, likely beause most of these account aren't something to care about.

If this was a good risk they could get a loan on the same terms from a bank. Why isn't that happening? The most likely answer based on recent history is: because someone or many people involved bribed trump.

This is just an admission that even the guy who paid for that farce knows it too.

You're being trolled anf just. can't. stop. responding. "You people" and "people like you:" "everyone".....surely those are the wrong ones. Not me, the person who has to "other" people I do'nt know because they made me feel sad by telling me the ideas I have that "everyone" else says are stupid are stupid. You are a waste of time. Enjooy your shaking impotent rage fit.

Keep digging that hole, cultist.

I see you can't help but view your version of what you think the truth should be through your ideology. Good job cultist.

You seem to be struggling intellectually instead. Executive function disorder?

They wouldn't have needed to renegotiate because they would have had equity if the lending standards weren't so lax. Remeber: the securitization turned into it's own business that required more inputs (mortgages) so the lending stnadards were reduced. If the lending standard weren't reduced the houses would have mostly been worth more than what was owed on them or these low/no down payment products wouldn't have gone to people to who were "judgement proof".

This is another post from someone who doesn't know what's happening in China.

They are in the midst of an accounting scandal and financal fraud by EV manufacturers that are overproducing and claiming "sales" of vehicles that are not sold, but merely delivered to dealers who then sell these new cars as "used". If you're paying attention you've seen these tactics before.

Stop laundering your feelings and ideology as facts when they clearly aren't.

They are absolutely dumping cars. Try reading more news from China before commenting on what they are or are not doing (hint: it's heading towards and accounting scandal where EV manufacturers are climing "sales" as they ship undols cars to dealerships which are then being sold as "used" with 0 miles on them - this is typical Chinese corruption that we've all seen before). The rest of your post is completely irrelevant to the story at hand.

Yes, they're trying to raise more money and needed a press release.

The Current Policies Scenario model assumes all policies globally are frozen at their current state, then projects from there. It's not realistic, and not worthy of a lot of upset.

Where is this happening? Because I'm not aware of any place - cretainly not the US - that isn't heavily intervening in supposed "free markets" in very protectionist and lately even socilist (own/control the means of ptoduction) kind of ways and artifically picking winners and losers.

Trairors are supposed to get hung. It's what should have happened to Jan 6 traitors.
