While that's almost certainly true for the existing stock of vehicles, they have also overbuilt production capacity. So they could easily retool to deliver for another market while selling the existing inventory slowly to domestic buyers.

Yes, but half the people have below-average intelligence.

We won't have a stable society if they're constantly scammed.

And I know some High-IQ people with no street smarts who got scammed by "Raj from Microsoft Support".

Really some dude from a trailer park might have a better BS detector, having lived a less coddled existence.

Comment The problem (Score 1) 68

AI Slop often drowns out the maintainers with more bugs reports than they can read. These bug reports are often difficult to read and 99% of them require a precondition that is impossible to occur. (I've gotten some that require me to read 2^64 bytes of data, never going to happen in the life of this universe).
So even if there is a real bug somewhere in this crap, I won't see it or probably won't recognize it even if I do read it. Even if I do realize that it might really be a bug, figuring out what is truly wrong from the AI vulnerability report is going to be time consuming. A human report, if my code is open source, often has a description of how to exploit the bug and how to fix it.

"you understand that we're still going to need doctors in the future, right?"

And that is exactly why "equal" is the road to hell. You will do nothing for the average and lower performers and you will demotivate and lose the (far too few) ones with better mental potential. A sure way to ruin any society. The way to go is "equal opportunity" at some point pretty early on and then it must depend on what you actually bring to the table personally.

Yep. Too many big-ego idiots around that like to think they can do anything they set their minds to. What they actually do is oversimplify things and then try simpler-than-possible approaches. That always fails, but if enough idiots go along with a hype, that failure can be delayed for years and become much more severe in its impact on society.
