Comment Someone's mother complained (Score 1) 79

An "erotic chat" mode would take jobs away from women (mostly older women) who staff all those "talk to a hot babe" phone lines.

Laugh, right. So, would you hire an older woman who'd been a "tradwife" after her asshole husband dumped her for a younger trophy? What job-oriented skills would she have?

And yes, a let friend of mine did that for a while, many years ago.

Comment Dumped Grok over this (Score -1) 72

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Since you haven't even begun to think about it, let me cut to the chase: it's STUPID, in space, to have a ship from Earth to the Moon. Do you fly to another city, and have the jetliner land at your hotel downtown?

*SPACE*ships should go from station to station, and shuttles/landers from planet to station.

Before anybody points this out, a gallon of bleach (the common size) is currently well over their weight limit. OTOH, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking ahead to the possibility of hackers ordering risky combinations of materials that might ignite or release hazardous fumes if jostled. I don't know if Wing's drones drop cargo like other services I've seen either. The videos I've seen have drogue parachutes but things still come down a bit fast. Anyway, it's not a realistic concern *for now*, apparently; but hopefully it's being considered.

Gee, you sound just like the American car dealers claiming no one was interested in Toyota's first hybrd (which was why Toyota dealers couldn't keep them in stock, the Prius sold so fast).

I *just* got a used hybrid minivan last year. I *could* have gotten one in '13, the last time I bought a vehicle... but hybrid minivans were *only* available in Europe, because of regulatory capture of the US gov't by the oil industry.

Right now, I'm very happy - *all* the local driving we do is on electric. I filled the tank over a month ago, and it's not quite down to three-quarters. Enjoy paying however much it is per gallon.
