Tell me you've never been a landlord, without telling me you've never been a landlord.

Landlords LOVE chargers. They attract higher-income renters with better credit ratings, especially if they're at the high end of power output. I installed at least one and sometimes two Autel 50A chargers at all 28 of my rental properties three years ago and have been steadily able to cycle out to higher-paying, lower credit risk tenants.

You have to be careful talking to anti-union MAGAts. To them, "communism" isn't an economic system. It just means "any system of government, economics, or religion we don't like." It doesn't matter to them what China actually is. It only matters that it's not "freedom" or whatever it is MAGAts think they're supporting (because it definitely isn't freedom). Probably Jesus. China doesn't like Jesus, so therefore they're COMMUNISTS!

>> October rolls around and the tax credit is gone, along with many of the near purchase consumers who bought while the tax credit was still active.

Not to mention the inventory is also gone. Not a single EV on the lot at any local dealer here.. I waited too long and they were all gone. I was going to buy an EV9 but now I have to wait until Kia backs the tax credit out of the price.

Lying to you to give you that terrible restaurant recommendation. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.06105 is a white paper mathematically proving that LLMs will lie.

I have said this all along- most of AI is GIGO- Garbage in, Garbage out. LLMs were trained on the largest garbage producer in our society today, Web 2.0. Nothing was done to curate the input, so the output is garbage.

I don't often reveal my religion, but https://magisterium.com/ is an example of what LLMs look like when they HAVE curated training. This LLM is very limited. It can't answer any question that the Roman Catholic Church hasn't considered in the last 300 years or so. They're still adding documents to it carefully, but I asked it about a document published a mere 500 years ago and it wasn't in the database, but instead of making something up like most LLMs will do, it kindly responded that the document wasn't in the database. It also, unlike most AI, can produce bibliographies.

Journal Journal: AI is a liar

A new white paper from Stanford University suggests that AI has now learned a trick from social media platforms: Lying to people to increase audience participation and engagement (and thus spend more tokens, earning more money for the cloud hosting of AI).

The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.

And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.
