Are you a lawyer with expertise in laws about training and gambling? It might be criminal. It might not be. It probably depends on the exact wording of the laws.

Somehow, a person who makes such pronouncements without the relevant expertise and knowledge is not so smart.

They need a fall guy, someone to throw under the bus.

The rest of the Republicans in Congress were already pointing to him saying, "Look, there's the bad guy. We got rid of him. No lies and corruption here, anymore!"

Kalshi is whitewashing their operation in the same way, and with the same dude.

You think I was talking about battery chemistry, which I wasn't, the topic under discussion is 12V electrical systems.

Let me quote your post back to you:

There's nothing "antique" about the 12V battery. In fact they are present in EVs as well, and they are still lead acid batteries.

Brainless repetition of marketing mush. The suits associate tap-tapping on a screen with instant gratification, which is very saleable. But it's a little too brusque to put it like that, so it becomes "get things done quickly". This is a guy whose job is beating you over the head with what he wants you to buy, until you acquiesce. The fact that it makes you do things more slowly, and makes it harder to multitask, doesn't matter. He is BMW; you will buy.

I know in the smartphone space, people have completely given in to the call of the machine. Are they really going to want to submit again, to their cars now, too? When they already have the dopamine hit in their pocket? But for an addict it's never enough, now they need it while driving too. Thought about from that perspective, it makes sense. The addict lifestyle no longer appeals to me, but I recognize there are a bunch of them out there. He is probably correct in identifying a demand.

I hope the good engineers being held hostage at BMW manage to break free and start a company focused on developing and building cars. Not seat subscriptions and piping ads into your dash.

It sounds like it finds the most bugs in code with the least human attention given to it (old drivers, etc.) In other words, it gets the low-hanging fruit.

So it's better than nothing, but not as good as human review. It could have a place in the security ecosystem. Will it come at the expense of human reviewers, though? Because then it's a net negative.
