Get'em while you can, if you can! I don't know about longevity of course, but regardless of that it's cheap because both BYD and the Chinese Government are subsidizing the hell out of your car. BYD et al really aren't any more efficient at building EVs than other good EV makers like Hyundai, the difference is they just don't care they're losing money (yet). So like with all those free deliveries Uber Eats gave you years ago, go wild while you can on someone else's dime, fuck it!

It feels unfair to those dealing with hallucinations and shit to call this psychosis. We need to acknowledge these people were always idiots, no really, people that seek out being managers are actually worse at it than just forcing a random person from the same department to do the job, and that these idiots we call managers have been seduced into delusion by their major weakness which is someone telling them they're smart instead of an idiot that isn't fit to do any other job.

Comment We have reinvented the wheel! (Score 1) 15

It's now vastly more expensive to actually run the wheel, and it doesn't have nearly as many features as old wheel, and it looks weird, and it can only run for a few minutes at a time while previous wheel could run indefinitely. But we can build these crappy wheels like, really really fast, so uhm. Be impressed?

I am reminded of Self Driving Cars. Back when that whole thing started executives were absolutely, iron clad certain that because a car drove itself through a desert for a good ways this meant cars that could drive themselves through cities were just around the corner. I think it was the CEO of General Motors that predicted that "hardware would be the hard part" and once that was solved cars would be driving themselves everywhere in no time! This was back in, oh, 2015 or so.

Over a decade later I can get into a car that drives itself in certain cities, if I want to hire one specifically. Maybe I can pay a ton of money to get a car that can mostly drive itself on the highway, in the right conditions, and as long as there isn't a 0.1% corner case wherein I have to take over immediately or I might die. So maybe it was harder than "just solving the hardware." And 2015 felt like where we're at with general AI now. It's brilliant at solving mathematics, because math has perfectly defined pass/not criteria entirely contained within itself. General AI is, good, at coding, because at least you can test code and see if it boots/throws errors, etc. and that's easy to brute force learn a billion times over running on your own nuclear plant. What exactly was is the test for "good" say... creativity? Because I was bored and asked Claude to pitch me a sequel to Alien as a test just 2 days ago, and I shit you not the title it came up with was "Alien: Lullaby" which is about as good as the rest of the pitch was.

My conclusion: check back over a decade from now to see where we are on this general AI thing, but everyone investing like general purpose AI is "just around the corner" sounds like the auto industry assuming self driving cars were just around the corner, and had managed to invest half the wealth of the entire planet on that assumption as fast as they could get hold of it.

You hired the most mathematicians in the world and built the world's biggest super computer to crack passwords and find exploits at the NSA... and now drunk boi McManfluencer is going to waste money building a vastly less capable department doing the same thing cause you're a bunch of dipshits that don't know how anything works or what anything does.
