Bill is very well known.

None of the Epstein Girls named him as an abuser.

He may have met Mila Antonova through Epstein, but she was an adult.

Except that Mythos doesn't just list the vulnerabilities, but also gives you the fixes.

It seems crazy to give up all the other benefits and time saving, because sometimes you have to stop for 15 minutes instead of 7.

Especially since if you have to use petrol, you can't walk off and go to the bathroom or get a coffee while it fills up.

Any car this thing goes into week probably be a lot more efficient than that. Mine will do 3.7mi/kWh at 70 with the heat on, and it's not a small car.

It's remarkable how far behind the US has fallen on renewable tech. There was some movement with solar a decade ago, but now China and Europe are years ahead for solar and wind and battery storage.

Tobacco companies would argue that tobacco products existed before cigarettes and people got lung cancer back then too. Criminal liability doesn't work that way. It's based on the accused not taking reasonable steps to prevent something foreseeable happening.

OpenAI know how ChatGPT is used. They know that young people are talking to it. They know that it sometimes gives very, very bad advice, or is too keen to agree rather than to tell someone they are wrong when they talk about suicidal thoughts or crimes they are contemplating committing. They didn't do enough to stop it.

It's more like cases where cars had deadly faults that the manufacturer knew about and failed to take seriously enough to do anything about.

Taking an encyclopedia as an example, they typically do not give enough detail on certain topics to be criminally negligent. They might describe an explosive, but not how to make it. They might talk about suicide, but not details of methods or how to make them more effective.

Doing so could be criminally negligent if someone used that knowledge to hurt someone or themselves. It is foreseeable that such information is not something that should be given out freely in a book that is likely to be in people's homes, around children.

Same principle as leaving a loaded gun lying around.

Maybe they could turn it on optimizing performance and fixing compatibility issues next.

They seem to want AI in the browser, so here's an idea for free. Have an AI agent that launches when you click a "site is broken" button, and it figures out why it is broken and fixes it in the browser. Bonus points if it can handle privacy enhancing add-ons breaking sites too.

oil was not valued as this but we depend on it

$25 Billion In Anthropic is hubris

we do not depend on it (yet) invest in what you know and get of the plane that depends on oil...

get over yourself

That's why when Israel bombs an apartment building, everyone in it is automatically enrolled in Hamas/Hezbollah first.

They know exactly what I've bought from them and when, so computing the tariffs I've paid through them is a matter of database queries.

They know how to give the money back to me - they send me a credit based on my executive membership every year, and that would be an acceptable and minimally painful way to refund the tariff windfall. They could give Costco store credit cards to non-executive members.

This is perhaps the biggest transfer of wealth in American history. Most of those companies will just pocket the refund and no pass any of it on to the consumer. If prices go down at all, they won't be back to pre-tariff levels.

You paid the tariffs, but you ain't getting the refund.

You can do maintenance on EVs too. Lots of people work on older ones themselves. They aren't super complicated, and the level of lockdown is about the same as a fossil - it varies by manufacturer, and generally the more you pay for the car the worse it is.

There is much less maintenance you need to do on an EV anyway. Brake pads last forever, and some need a motor oil change once every 5 years or so. Batteries are good for at least 250k miles, more than even a well maintained petrol engine.

The market for working on them is more mature in some countries, particularly Norway. Even in the US though, it's very doable. Rich Rebuilds on YouTube makes videos about the ones he works on.

Norway has got that way already. It's a pain to go find fuel in a lot of places. Most of the petrol stations have been converted to charging stations.

I see that a lot, e.g. people saying Ukraine should not have given up its weapons. What would Ukraine have done with them? Nuke Moscow, get nuked back, and now everyone is dead and their country is a radioactive wasteland? And that's the best case scenario, where they don't start WW3 and get everywhere nuked.

It would have been the same conventional war that they got without nuclear weapons. You can safely ignore Putin's threats to use them too.
