"This is divorce territory as wife's subconscious will inherently correctly conclude "he can't protect me even against some dumb cunt at work who's his subordinate. He can't even protect himself from that subordinate. He's utterly weak and pathetic, intolerable features in a husband, part ways ASAP"."

This is exactly why "senior leadership" shouldn't be bedding each other. It's a business, their relationship has no place there.

Ignoring I live in an old house and I'd need my electrical service and panel upgraded to support fast charging at home, current EVs don't do what I need.

Yes, one would be perfect for daily commuting, but would fail in other scenarios. Nobody's volunteering to fund 2 cars for me and "just rent when you need something" ignores the immense inconvenience of that, that my time isn't worthless.

When I take road trips, they're specifically as far away from the trappings of man as possible. I wouldn't want power lines scarring the landscape to get power to charging stations. Dirty ol' gasoline can be brought in via tanker to the tiny podunk towns that already have a station

People ignore the ENORMOUS infrastructure build-out necessary to roughly approximate the number of existing fuel stations and the speed at which they can send vehicles on their way.

Prediction: There's a good chance AI will enable this tactic on a scale no number of human moderators can keep up with.

The logical outcome is Wiki uses AI for moderation, thus completing the circle of enshitification where AI is interacting with AI and quaint concepts like truth, creativity and honest human discourse are a chore to find anymore. ...

You sir, are a fine example of what an honest, intelligent human being can accomplish. In no small part, your innovations changed the course of my life all those years ago.

Never change.

It's worth watching his video and supporting him on this. He has a $5000 bounty for anyone who comes up with firmware for these devices and has vowed to cover any legal expenses incurred.

He's looking to make a case out of this to raise awareness.

My AI use has devolved into natural language searches. It provides patently wrong information more often than not when used beyond that capacity.

Since I have to validate its answers, I might as well just search for information the "old fashioned" way - it at least keeps my brain sharp.

"Kroger stores, Safeway, Albertsons, Frys and more all owned by the same company."

A simple Google search or even paying attention to the news will reveal this is factually untrue.

You should be blaming the chipping away at, rolling back consumer protection laws as the fuel for distrust, not the movements that gave birth to them.

That has been a primary driver behind the technology for almost 2 decades.

China is getting its tentacles into western countries by way of business partnerships.

Google, Hollywood studios, Facebook, etc. don't want to endanger benevolent mother China's almighty cash-flow by upholding the free flow of information, basic human rights.

We are complacent .

If the police can't tell the difference between a prop Star Wars blaster carried by someone in a Storm Trooper costume in front of a Star Wars themed restaurant and a real firearm, they're:

A) Hopelessly incompetent
B) Unable to make reasonable decisions on the spot.

"They were just following procedure" is never a valid excuse. It means the procedure is wrong and/or the officers lack the mental facilities needed to understand when they should be put into action / followed.

The difference is that in the 60s, the majority of American Democrats were pro-segregation.

Pipe down boot licker. Stick to basement dwelling and the hopes that somebody else will protect your well being.

This is what happens when you treat firearms like evil death machines, drive fear and ignorance in the public.

Firearms are tools. They never jump up and bite anyone; it takes a human being making the decision to act out, injure or kill another with a firearm.

Instead of FUD, maybe education, rationality about firearms would be a good idea??

"Since 20 years ago crime rates have plummeted in this country. There's a lot more media coverage but far less crime. Maybe these crime prevention measures are working."

No, reported crimes have plummeted. That's a logical result of police focusing on "Non-crime incidents" instead of investigating actual crimes., pursuing actual criminals who have broken laws.
