That’s what I was going to say... What’s to stop some piece-of-shit cop from planting whatever evidence he wants on your phone, if you make the mistake of giving him access to it - along with your passwords?


Nothing.

And anyone who responds with "the law prevents him" is naive...

Honestly, I'm scared of eating any chicken or beef based foods from McDonalds (or Burger King or Wendy's) at this point. I've had issues with "chicken" nuggets as well as "burgers" being made of something I would not consider the appropriate type of meat.

Fish sandwiches are still okay, for now, since they have trouble replicating the texture. But I avoid them anyway. I don't want to get a bad fish sandwich.

French fries are fine. I know they are coated to stay crispy longer, but at least the texture and flavor are okay.

Posting a price is easy if it's part of your business. Gas stations can update their prices and are incentivized to keep the prices up to date.

A hotel that has a couple supercharging stations may not even be running the charging stations in their parking lot.

My local hospital just put in a couple chargers. No posted signs up but their is a QR code that goes to a link to the current prices. So I guess that's something.

You're just lying. I ran some tests on the scenarios you described and the results were an absolute mess. They only worked in certain cases and would be practically impossible to maintain if necessary. What I found useful about LLMs was summarizing information and finding documentation (which is their strong suit), but writing code for you? And complex code? No way.

If your country lasts that long. And with the risk that he might decide "If I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me" and end the entire world along with it.

There is a simple answer to this. Don't buy their cars.

I owned three BMWs (two 3-series and a 5-series). Will not buy one again, even though I loved the feel of a BMW on the road. They really are The Ultimate Driving Machine.

But my local BMW service center absolutely sucks and was often disrespectful to my spouse. And (more recently) they have put subscriptions on features that I would expect would be included in the cost. And let's not get into episode of advertisements playing.

So no more BMW for me. And I am fully in the demographic they want: Mid 50s male, significant disposable income, homeowner in the suburbs.

I'm wondering why they don't just continue the Vision Pro team and see where it leads them.

Or maybe they are continuing the team, just getting rid of one skill set?

I don't have any VR system, but even I can see it's not ready for Prime Time yet. But that doesn't mean it won't be in the future.

As for marketing of it, it really should be marketed as a desktop/laptop computer replacement.

It’s about control too. If all eletronic transactions have to go through VISA to be processed, then VISA can control who can buy what and who can sell what. A public, trustworthy eletronic payment system managed by other governments takes that power away from VISA, so naturally VISA will sabotage any attempt by foreign governments to establish something like UPI.

I think a part of the issue is the amount of gold and other precious minerals in the cameras.

People are using AI to find out about the cameras and the AI is scrapping comments like this and telling people about the gold. Then people take down the cameras to look for the gold.

You're just fooling yourself now... I've conducted experiments despite what you might think, and the results have always been so disastrous that I gave up trying. Same goes for my colleagues. And my interns may make mistakes just like AI, but they have one advantage: they learn from their mistakes.

Well, time will tell who is right... But the way things are going, my way of doing things may will end up being actually safer than this AI-generated slop that's popping up everywhere and being marketed as "the best thing in the world". And I don't have to worry about how many "tokens" I have to spend on what I'm doing, because, after all, I'm not using any.

You’re getting somewhat usable results from AI solely because someone else in the world has already done something exactly the same or very similar to what you wanted to do. This isn’t all that unlikely to happen because there aren’t that many different ways to make a form receive and display data, for example.

Now, if you take someone like me, who is constantly creating new things or new ways of doing things (and no, I won’t describe them because of trade secrets), AI just gets in the way and can even be a serious security risk. The only thing AI has been somewhat helpful with here is acting as a “Google summary,” and since I’m the one who decides whether the AI’s suggestion has merit or not, it never touches the code itself.

Cars are actually useful. AI, on the other hand...

Just don't use AI.

You are the only loser here ;)

Actually, let's correct my comment a bit since you, being a snowflake, couldn't grasp the "why" of it. I actually used to buy games. But those were games that I still own, and if I want to play them again (even decades later), I can. While the games they currently sell to you they can take them away from you at any time, unilaterally and without warning. You'd have to be an idiot to accept those kinds of terms. So, pirating.

Maybe one of these days they'll go back to selling games that are actually yours, and then I'll go back to buying games. But I think it's unlikely they'll change their minds.
