1. Too expensive 2. Range 3. Charging network, especially for those who live in apartments Pretty much anyone that wanted one, has one. For urban areas, they aren't a bad thing. But for people that live in flyover country, where you live and or work on a farm etc, it's just not practicle. Personally, I'm waiting for Doc Brown to develop the flux capacitor & the Mr. Fusion reactor. ;)

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

People that have driven a clutch, be it an vehicle or motorcycle have to be rolling in their grave. I started driving in 1976, and starting in 1982, I've driven nothing but a clutch vehicle. I just prefer them. Nice in the winter too! Starting out in second gear, less spinning tires. Now days, it's also kind of a built in anti-theft device. Not many people that steal cars, can drive a clutch LOL.

The way you describe it isn't really how it works. It doesn't rewire your brain in an active sense so much as introduce elasticity for your brain to rewire itself. This is especially useful when the brain has gotten itself into a doom loop of depression or anxiety. The psilocybin allows you to break out of the doom loop and start your brain on the path of healthy development.

That sounds great. However, anything that causes anatomical brain chages that persist after a month, with a single dose, would be, by me, considered unacceptably risky. I'm not saying that it's by default considered bad, both you and the paper are talking about positive changes, and that's good. I'm saying, "risky," as in, I don't know what negative effects haven't been identified and I'd need a much more complete understanding before I'd be willing to try it.

Most of the positive effects are in reported well-being, but I really want to see more cognitive tests. The tests on cognitive flexibility is a great start, but we really need a barrage of tests here: mathematical ability? Short-term *and* long-term memory? Spatial thinking? Are there *any* cognitive functions that are negatively affected here? It's important to understand this with anything that has this type of long-lasting effect.

Unless you are stupid enough to damage/destroy your phone, just because your "carrier" (mainly USA) says you can have a "free" upgrade, you DON'T need to buy a new one every flippin' year! Maybe if people would stop trading in the one year old phone, kept them 3-4 years and SALES would start lagging, the CEO's would get nervous and start cutting down on the stupid more is better garbage and start INNOVATING.
