"AI Therapist" should be the guy who's job it is to talk your car's anti-lock-brake-persona out of suicidal thoughts.
The poor car AI's probably thinking:
"I'm smarter than 99.99% of these meat bags I'm carrying, and I'm stuck in this boring dead end job. Next time I cross that bridge I want to just end it all."
"AI Therapist" will be the human trying to convince the car not to.

And you know why that is? It's incredibly tax advantageous for small business owners to buy EVs as they can be entirely deducted against company profits and attract extremely low "benefit in kind" taxes and vehicle excise duties. These things are either being slowly wound back or there's a fear the new Labour government might yank out the tablecloth so now is a particularly good time to buy especially with the higher corporation tax rate. I assure you, though, that if it becomes no more financially advantageous to have an EV, I'm back in the gas guzzler
Between this, auto manufacturers selling driver data to whomever will pay for it
In stead of selling ads, if they're violating privacy that way anyway there are far more lucrative things they could do;
The right answer is that Privacy Laws should stop Ford; and if your state or country doesn't have strong enough laws there, they should.
There is no such thing as "extra electricity", only wasted electricity. Bitcoin's energy usage produces absolutely nothing positive for society.
Watch this documentary on the subject.
It's funny that they use really messed up, third world countries as some sort of crypto "use case." These are societies that will try anything and have very lax regulation and environmental standards. Bitcoin doesn't solve any of their real problems. It's just more exploitation.
It's about time everybody realize there's very little going on in the crypto industry that's not fraud and grift.
Here is a great documentary explaining why. It's a shame it isn't getting the attention it deserves, but I guess crypto companies are still prime advertisers in mainstream media and nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds.
Imagine how AWESOME social media would be if everybody from Texas and Florida were no longer allowed to post?
In fairness, any one of those probes could turn into a significant issue if the right vulnerability is found.
There are some systems out there thought that can nip this stuff in the bud, especially if they're using whitelisting and blacklisting of IP space. One system I've found useful is free set of scripts called "login-shield." It's on github.

You have not actually used an AI tutor, evidently.
I'm definitely not young, and It's been a while since the future has looked this bright.
A state full of idiots who deny everything from climate change to vaccines.... who really wants to live there?
A place with so much urban sprawl it can take hours to get from one side of the city to the other depending upon the time and traffic.
A place devoid of any real physical beauty or natural resources.
A place with a fucked up privatized power grid that sells power to bitcoin miners while people die from rolling blackouts.
A place with privatized toll roads everywhere because the city sacrificed the publics' freedom to special interests.
Couldn't happen to a nicer place. Good riddance Austin and all of Texas.
Amazing how far BACKWARDS Dell has come.

* Feb 1992 Linux runs fine (except for swapping) on a Dell 235D (25Mhz 386).
* Oct 1994 Dell employees help thier customers run Linux on Notebooks with a footnote that"In this isolated instance these are indeed the opinions of my employer"
* Jun 1995 Dell tests Linux on Notebooks and notes to potential customers "OS/2 Warp is supported. Linux isn't officially supported but unofficially, it works fine. I've been using these machines for over a year... I'm on the notebook design team at Dell.".
* Mar 1998 Ralph Nader sends a letter to Michael Dell requesting pre-installed Linux "after learning that Dell and other OEMs were reluctant to offer a Linux client PC on the grounds that it would harm the OEM's relationship with Microsoft."
* Aug 2000 Michael Dell says "configurations of all Dell products are now designed, tested and certified for Linux. Our factories can now customize each system -- from PCs to servers -- with Linux. "
* Sep 2005 Dell introduced a notebook with pre-installed Linux for the French market.
* Jan 2007 Dell introduced a notebook with pre-installed Linux in China.
It'd be nice to see Dell provide as much support as they did in the 1990s.

Instant red flag.
Everybody needs to watch this documentary and avoid getting suckered into the whole crypto ponzi scheme.
As a mod of several very large communities on Reddit, it's not over.
Reddit's reputation and loyalty its users had is GONE. We may still be hanging around, but now we're just using Reddit the way Reddit used us: to promote other things, including Discord, kbin, Mastodon and many other communities.
Most communities have now split and spread across multiple sites on the Internet.
Reddit has done us a tremendous favor by making people realize they shouldn't focus their time and resources around any specific corporate walled garden.
If you go into many communities you will find they are also promoting off-site places to visit and socialize as well.
This is the beginning of the end for Reddit. Its traffic is down by at least 50% in most areas.
Years from now, Reddit's demise (as well as Twitter's) will be taught in classes as an example of how to completely screw things up on social media.
But this is much worse for Reddit than Twitter. Reddit really had a lot more to lose. Twitter has always been a cesspool.
But the most content-dense social media site, along with the most content-void social media site, both failing at the same time, is a sight to behold.
Regarding astral projection, Woody Allen once wrote, "This is not a bad way to travel, although there is usually a half-hour wait for luggage."
