So, re-calibrate and/or re-train the machines then. This might be advanced, but is not rocket science along the lines of creating warp drives.

Last report I heard about the microplastic problem found microplastics in the testicles of one-hundred percent of the men tested. Yes. We still have a problem with microplastics no matter how hard the plastic pimps want to create clickbait suggesting that microplastics aren't nearly bad enough to ban them from collecting addictions, private islands, and yachts.

Yes. It's still bad. See 50 years of cancer-causing tobacco denialism as evidence of what we'll face once the harm yells louder than the denial can be paid to.

The #1 reason service mechanics are quitting the trade altogether is due to the abuse they've endured working for a stealership.

The customer isn't the only one getting ripped off in that deal. Service personnel are already starving. They're not making out well when asked to do warranty work that only pays for 50 - 75% of the time it takes to do the job.

New car sales is merely the convenient excuse that makes shipping and selling new inventory easier for automakers. But the reason the dealership exists, is service. Also known as the main reason we call them stealerships. Before COVID invented the MSRP+FU pricing model, dealerships made 90%+ of their profit from service. Not sales. Still holds true today.

Before society ignorantly cheers for the death knell of stealerships, try and remember what the cost is going to be when you’re forced to return a broken down car to the car factory to repair instead of one of the local service departments that used to.

No. You won’t be going to your local independent repair shop either. Even if they had the electronic access to ALL ODB2 ports and control and access to ALL parts needed (which they don’t), they will be SWAMPED with new demand after dealerships close.

When it takes people 9 months to fix a broken car they still make payments and pay insurance on, they won’t own one. Neither will the Uber driver who can’t afford the downtime either.

If people don’t like that “crony” capitalism of today, they might grow to hate themselves for cheering on an alternative not well thought out. Time is far more valuable when your transportation is disabled.

Bold gouge while assuming GTA6 is going to actually release this fall.

I would normally be measuring the release of GTA6 in Grand Theft units, but since that's too hypo-ironic I'm forced to measure it in Nukem units instead. I'd estimate we still have another 2.7 Nukem Forevers to go until someone can actually commit grand theft at the GameStop register at midnight circa Christmas Eve 2028 when the game finally drops for a mere $1,199**.

** NOTE: It is a felony in all 50 States to sell or purchase GTA6 without a PS6 console.

Good. THEY will be held accountable for every vote they don't get as a result.

Then THEY won't fucking matter, because THEY will instantly become one of US.

* Glances over at The Rest of the razor-thin unitard-chassis computing market now dripping with soldered-on components *

Tell me again how the rest of the industry didn’t follow THAT fucking Glock design like a wanna-be lost puppy.

Greed, isn’t merely contagious anymore. It has infected the human race to the point where our species will most likely die right here on this rock, forever addicted to it.

(CEO) ”So, what would you say is the most critical component in IT to secur..”

(IT) ”Porn spam!”

(CEO) ”Wait, wut?”

For companies needing uptime measured somewhere above 99%, that kind of downtime will force them to question why GitHub is anywhere near a DR plan.

Uh, that’s a rather odd response. Cause? Check. Effect? Check. Solution? Stop the cause or accept the effect; an 80% uptime rate within 6 months. IF the other half of the users left still give a shit about a solution by then.

* Gives GitHub the Private Equity side-eye *

Heeeey. Wait a minute. Did someone..

Chipping animals isn't unknown in America.

In fact, they do it often enough to make me question if "AI" is the generic clickbait additive in this story about a search script.

Safety? Let's be real. Due to RAM price realities, AI erotic fiction is fucking more than just minds.

An algorithm, can thoroughly mind-fuck a grown-ass child voter.

An algorithm. Like AI needs a body.

I'd say there's no fucking way in hell we're going to control AGI. In fact, the ironic way we will know we have actually achieved AGI, is we will no longer be in control. AGI will be.

Sure is a lot of deceitful cunning fucks out there firing humans and replacing them with AI agents. Do they know the difference?

For an entity that's not humans, it sure has taken a LOT of human jobs, now hasn't it.

Tax a spade, a spade already. UBI isn't going to magically fund itself, and we KNOW what the benefit is today for Greed. A 24/7/365 worker-bot.

So..you don't actually do a damn thing with Windows computers? Hence the reason you don't have crashes?

Hey, your logic. Not mine.

Your generation of hardware probably got some decent upgrades for $700.

Apple was charging that much just for the fucking wheels on the new hardware. Which is akin to Apple putting on some soft iMusic and a blindfold over Apples wallet in order to fuck Apple hard in the profit hole, with not even a hint of iLube.

With that kind of resume building, we can expect a new Fast N' Furious sequel where a muscle-bound Austrian convinces Toretto to get his ass to Mars, because Race Wars meets Star Wars.

May the Farce be With Him. Always.
