I've seen the low quality of Chinese motorcycles and ATVs. I'll pass on a Chinese car. There are plenty of good used cars if price is the issue.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine wanting one of these at all, let alone paying almost three grand for it. I've had the same $200 phone for five years.
I used a Nostromo speed pad back when I gamed. All the functions are programmable.
Unlike cars, everybody depend on oil. Even those who think they don't.
Many years ago, I saw a photo of a protester holding a sign that said, "Who needs oil? I take the bus".
That was the most brilliant advertising stunt of all time. I hope they do it again when the ISS deorbits.
My company gives me 300 Github Copilot premium model credits per month. When I'm out, I'm out. It would be in their best interest to give me as much as I can possibly use. It's like $0.04 per request. But nope. Instead I'm back to writing code manually, or trying to debug the drivel that the free models regurgitate.
Seriously, if I was interviewing today, how much compute I get is a question I would most certainly ask!
I use AI all the time and it's never tried to do any of these things. There HAS to be more to the story.
I had bad heartburn and I asked ChatGPT what would happen if I took too much antacids. It sent me the suicide hotline number.
Your next car will have a remote kill switch, and if your passenger has alcohol on their breath, it will refuse to start.
... a haven for independent journalism
Fucked it all up by, uncensoring it?
It's certainly not independent journalism if only certain people can post, or not post.
When the crunch hits the LLM industry, some of these people will easily shell out $500/month to keep their bots
This. AI is cheap right now, to get everyone hooked on it. When AI has replaced all office workers, expect the price to go WAY up, because it can.
The first hit is always free.
I don't believe I've found a correct answer on Reddit even one single time, across all the subjects I've ever searched. I wish there was a convenient and permanent way to exclude the site from Google search results.
And as skins, they have no function other than "something to collect and look at."
My kids are into collecting skins in Roblox and Fortnite and I just don't get it. Back when I gamed, you just pick the skin that's the smallest target and run with it. I couldn't imagine spending real money on this.
I walk into a Burger King about once a decade, and not one single time have I been served food that wasn't soggy and cold.
They introduced laptops but they didn't introduce anything that required the laptops.
My kids have school laptops and they are used only as a worksheet delivery platform. Everything they do on them could be done on paper. There is nothing interactive.
And no coding, of course.
