Comment Those failing engines and transmissions. (Score 4, Insightful) 189

Have little to do with this. Much of it was poor quality control on the engine block milling line, specifically not cleaning out shavings and debris which causes bearing failure sometime into ownership. Toyota made a big recall, but my Ford now has a 10 year long block warranty for the same thing 'just in case.' It's just simply downhill craftsmanship in general for the entire industry - my vehicle was made pre-covid so the problem is mostly unrelated to that.

The GM transmission problem is apparently a bad valve design that wears out fast, which is just another sign of declining engineering and craftsmanship abilities at least in the US; but for at least Toyota their machining problem was also within Japan made parts. The entire world is just getting sloppy.

I guess that's sarcasm and AI humor, but remember that the average is across all vehicles for a manufacturer. Most trucks still get around 20 to 24. To offset that there will need to be lighter cars that get near 50, and not just a handful - trucks are top heavy sellers for some manufacturers not named Honda.

If it has flooded in the past, it will likely flood again sometime in the future. So yes I can predict higher risk of flooding.

Obviously sellers don't want you to do that. Honestly after a second flood, a property should be condemned against future residential use after paying out the damage value.

read the article, 199 papers were found to be fully AI written:

199 manuscripts (1%) were found to be fully AI-generated; 61% of submissions were mostly human-written; but 9% contained more than 50% AI-generated text

If they don't do something this year next year it will go exponential.
Nip it in the bud now and simply kick out any use of AI or their little problem will become as bad as the current internet.

Imagine if Newegg in it's current state sold Prescription medicine... Because that is what this would become.

Now imagine if they are allowed on Amazon's marketplace. That will end well.

I agree about corporate health care being all for-profit and taking advantage of the sick; but China is not the answer.
