What a beautiful strawman you've built.

It doesn't sound like you know much about or work on cars. You've dunning-kruger'd your way into demonstrating that.

There have been increasingly more updates for vehicles for powertrain and safety systems for years and it accelerated with connected services because they can now be pushed without bring a car into a dealership. It's very clear to everyone working in and around modern cars and has been confirmed by automotive sofware engineers that this is intentional and they are simply doing the bay area "we'll test it in prod and send otu updates" thing.

Thanks for demonstrating your vast ignorance on the topic though, it's such typical slashdot.

So do you or do you not understand that allowing tons of obscure code to be loaded dynamically (hint: modules) that you certainly don't need or want is a security risk? Meaning TFA solution, which addresses modeules, is a good methodology for many systems, especially servers?

Now I know this sounds crazy, but stick with me for a moment: How about we require car manufacturers to deliver finished products to customers? And how about we also require them to provide meaninful service and repair data along with the vehicles? No more connected services unless they are non-essential to the car and trivially switched off, removed or replaceable. So that means no more repeated software updates will be required.

This is comedy, right?

At least it's not more Star Wars slop.

That is an incredibly simple problem domain. It's search engine level, not "AI" or AI.

Stop falling for hype.

Only if you say it's OK elsewhere.

I think you're thinking about the wrong decade. I have seen little of consequences or shame in the last 10 years.

if it was affectign water presure for the other water users to complain, then it was no small amount. And the fact they claim closed loop and only use it for a tiny amount is BS. The amount they used is staggering!

Yeah, I'm gonna guess it's a lot more than double. My company's enterprise agreement with MS has Claude Opus 4.7 now at 15x token consumption. I bet that's approaching what it actually costs but still not quite it.

When has legality of actions stopped this administration in the past, specifically on creation of unpopular, protectionist (very communist market control) policies?

That's never how this works out. Water is cheaper than electricity for cooling so the more water you use the less you spend, whether that's literally just dumping water back into the sanitary sewer system or through evaporative chillers. In nearly every circumstance these facilities are doing the calculations to figure out which is cheapest and what they can get away with.

Trusing what comes out of Blackstone publicity persons mouth is painfully naieve in any context, bur especially so in light of the history of how these facilities operate.

I think it's a LOT less than zero sum in favor of the market makers who are close enough to the house in this context that it's a difference without a distinction.
