Prohibition was repealed.

I don't disagree. Personally I think the Federal government got too powerful after the civil war & we really don't even have the same type of government that the founders envisioned.

I'd be somewhat in favor of an Article 5 convention so long as any changes had to be subject to a vote like the President is elected. The Electoral Collage system is absolutely brilliant & gives the individual vote maximum power because a handful of voters can change the outcome of an entire election. If people really want something they need to get out and vote. If you stay home you can't complain if the other side doesn't.

Anyway, good luck to us all.

Well you're not wrong. Most people forget the 9th & 10th amendments and what they actually say.

9. The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
        - Basically saying, "just because we listed a few specific Rights here, that doesn't mean those are the only ones The People have."

10. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
        - The Federal Government is not permitted to just assume new powers because we didn't specifically restrict it here. If it's not specifically listed in this document the government cannot do it.

How far afield of these rules has the Federal strayed? How much longer will The People tolerate it?

Wait, what?

The Constitution is a restriction on the powers of the Federal Government, not on Anthropic. The Federal Government does have the ability to "regulate commerce" under what is called the Commerce Clause in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3.

I'm not sure what particular law(s) c/would apply here - if any - however I'm certain various courts might have to render a judgement.

Maybe we are just past the time of bolting those into the core of every LLM out there!

again, false statement.

the remote ops do NOT 'drive' the car 100% of the time. what percentage? we dont know but I'd guess its less than 10%, probably even lower.

nothing is level 5 yet. get that in your head. no one claims level 5, either.

what I'd like to know is how often waymo needs 'help' remotely vs tesla vs any other.

I suspect that tesla that is sensor-poor needs 10x as much help as waymo.

(I used to work in car biz, in a self driving car co.)

his followers often hurt and do worse things, when sent in a direction from their leader.

d's dont do that, but r's do. that's the whole reason why congress is frozen solid. they all want to LIVE and not have to pay 10x for security when the leader says 'this person should be taught a lesson'. in so many words.

its not that they have or dont have backbone; but when thugs are sent to kill you, the notion of free speech is meaningless.

this is the key. his followers are killers. his ice gang are losers who cant get any other job and just love to bash heads.

its ALL about violence. I understand them being afraid.

but its their fucking fault for empowering him in the first place!

ob disc: I used to work for nio usa.

batt swap is a great idea and its been done well. tesla tried it for a very short while and gave up. too bad.

one use case not always mentioned: you run out of juice and you are too far from a charging station or maybe you are in a hurry or just dont mind paying the convenience fee for a local drive-up swap. yes, they can do that. you can be on your way with a 'full tank' in very short order. no idea how common it is; usually you drive to one of the swap garages and it guides you in, you stay in your car the whole time, robots lower the old batt and raise up the new one.

the kinks are worked out.

dont bash on this cause its china. it IS and will continue to be a good idea.

china pulled it off since it was NOT adverse to ev's. in fact, they see ev's as their future, so the gov was eager to install all the infra they could.

during the very early T days, we still, as a country (usa) were going full speed ahead. car companies were doing well and we, the workers, did well.

then, the presidency changed and all went to hell after that. he picked his gas buddies over ev tech and the country is now suffering for it.

I'm 99% batt swap will never hit consumer cars in the US. monied interests dont want it. they know its their demise. their argument of '30 minute fillups' goes away with this. and you buy the car sans batt and so you always have a rental batt. you get used to it. upside: you never have a long-term battery that gets bad and bad. all swap batts are maintained so that no one gets a truly bad batt.

when you read the comments, you can see who has an open mind and who is a paid shill for a certain viewpoint.

the hunger by the 1% to remove as much humanity from the workplace is sickening.

they fully know they are destroying the middle and lower classes (even more than they already have).

they, like the R party, just dont care. they think they are rich and insulated enough. they never cared what their own people need. the 'let them eat cake' time has come back again, but even worse.

there will be no thought to social systems needed to support the unemployed (which will be many of us, given enough time).

I'm glad I'm retiring soon. I would not want to compete in a job market that bosses think can be done by computer, alone.

and I would not want to be the 'prompt meister' to try to coax answers from the machines that make sense.

some see a great future with AI. I see nothing but doom and gloom. the greed factor is strong in humans and the class disparity will cause rioting and civil wars.

maybe not wars. the US has created a special police force that is above the law, so any uprisings will EASILY be dealt with. they thought about that. ICE is not just for foreigners. its a general purpose police force answerable only to 1 person.

people, please show me I'm wrong. but all signs point to a very bad future for 95% of the 'thinks for a living' workforce.

yeah - I just logged in here to write this - I am one of the Bixby Non Users.

For coming up with such an uther useless idea, I even logged back in Slashdot, after several months, just to be able to comment mocking you!

  I mean -- I like Samsung Phones, and I had been in the Galaxys for almost a decade now.
Not ONCE I found out the bundled 'bixby" to do anything useful!.

Wait - I lie - at one time, there was an easter egg that could toggle the mobile flashlight by saying "Lumus".
That is long gone.

but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.

You can. With a browser plugin called "Short Stop".

every bit of land that is occupied by islam has been stolen from some other culture. by the sword, 100% of the time.

you want some justice? have the arabs give back all the land they stole from the native peoples of the time. every land they have was stolen. why is that never talked about?

there were religions long before islam, but all the countries that are islamic were forced under threat of death to convert.

genocide is what the arabs did to everyone who did not convert.

funny how you guys want to flip the narrative.

actually, its not funny.

the real culture war is islam vs the west.

islamic countries with big pockets are paying to have 'good PR' in universities. they are playing the long game. they are not stupid.

they have a clear goal in mind. you either know this or you dont. go search if you dont know what I'm talking about.

but they have funded the universities in order to have their message forced on all the students.

is there any natural reason why women would protest against their own rights? and yet, that's the side they picked.

its about funding and buying mind share.

they are winning. and its sad to see.

but this is what's going on.
