Would you believe, so they can be used as an energy storage system?

It's actually a pretty good idea, but only if you can keep the command-and-control system secure.

Alas, it's historically been easy for people to slip into a mindset of "no hacker would ever know or care about OUR little system, because [reasons]", and use that as a justification for ignoring security concerns altogether.

Of course that's never really been the case, but now that any bozo with $200 in their pocket can just pay an AI to find every possible security hole and report back, it's REALLY not the case.

I hear that some of the AI generated ports to retro machines are as good as the originals.

> immigrants pay less and take more than the locals they're replacing.

BS, not if allowed to work. They come here with nothing and so are avid consumers.

Electric cars are simply easier to manufacture than ICE engines. The bottleneck used to be batteries, but thanks to Xi subsidizing battery R&D, that's disappearing. The complexity of ICE engines gave Japan, US, and Germany a Buffettian moat.

If the ICE companies want to survive (without protectionism), they should pressure to form international component/module standards so that it's easy to get modules from abroad and then customize vehicles for the local market(s). They'll have to survive by upselling via customization, as they can't compete on raw manufacturing alone. Factory labor rates are cheaper in China, Vietnam, etc. and dictatorships like it that way.

> Please enumerate how China is being unfair.

Chinese gov't subsidized battery and EV research and investment funding. They've since mostly pulled back, but the effects gov't meddling lingers.

Back in the day some game designers would farm out the actual coding of their games. The Bitmap Brothers did that a lot, but still managed to make games like Gods and Speedball 2.

These days most indie devs use frameworks that can boil game development down to writing scripts.

I think if the designers know what they are doing, and particularly if they do the graphics and sound themselves, they could probably get a decent result with AI writing the code. Likely no worse than some of the crappy developers from back in the day, lazily posting Atari ST slop to the Amiga, for example.

All of which is small fry compared to the fact that he digitally raped a women.

Let's also not forget that he's in the Epstein files and statements he made at the time suggest he knew exactly who Epstein was. Even if he didn't rape any children himself, he continued to be Epstein's friend.

It's more of a quality issue. An AI generated game could be good, it's just that because the barrier to entry is so low now, literally just type a prompt and then complain about the things that don't work right, that people with lame ideas and copycats are not dissuaded by the effort required.

Then you should have no problem identifying infringing code?

Musk is doing his usual "our product is shit but all the better ones are fake and ours will be the greatest when it's finished!"

Musk's robots are crap and his AI is mediocre. He's nowhere near having AI operate his robots, which is why he has humans remotely tele-operating them.

It's so fucking embarrassing. Not that he bullshits everyone this way, but that people take him seriously.

A lot of these patches are for security flaws that LLMs found, so can't be simply ignored because of the source. If one LLM found it, another can.

It's just a difficult period we have to get through. Then it will be down to checking new code for flaws with AI, because it get deployed.

Most countries follow a similar path with EV adoption. Starts slow, people are worried about range and charge times and scare articles about the batteries only lasting a couple of years. Then they see people driving them and that they are actually superior in many ways, and decide to get one themselves. At the same time, infrastructure improves.

China is ahead because they started early, and had a lot of commercial adopters. Busses went EV a decade ago, then taxis.

It's the same with Linux. One of the reasons why it's finally gaining traction on the desktop is because instead of searching outdated Reddit threads and being berated by neckbeards who think you are an idiot for not doing it the way they do, you just ask AI and get a helpful response.

The issue is usually not knowing where to start looking. There is some goal you want to achieve, but you aren't sure what technology to use, what the terminology is, where to look in the manual. You could research it all, but these days it's easier to just ask AI, which will search sites like Stack Exchange for you, and get you on the right path.

Obviously you don't take the AI's word for it, but it gets you started with your own research.
