Eventually. Due to gravitational time dilation, you cannot reach the event horizon until some time after the heat death of the universe. Of course, to you it will appear as thought you are just coasting in. To the rest of the universe, you'll never quite make it.

Except that the mechanism of Hawking radiation will appear to intensify from your point of view. What we see many light years away may appear to be a very weak energy flux. But compress that into your frame of reference and billions of years of photons will appear to illuminate you in a few minutes (your time). You will fry.

a user running late for a meeting. The user asks Claude to export a pitch deck as a PDF file and attach it to a meeting invite. The video shows Claude carrying out the task.

Sounds like mid-level management drone work. Next step: Claude handles the meeting presentation. One entire management tier wiped out.

I'm OK with this.

We do, almost. Print the return, stuff it in an envelope and send it in. Only cost: the stamp.

IRS doesn't like the workload? Then do something about it. One could do as I do. Fill in the forms longhand. Sorry about the Parkinson's. Say, that wouldn't by any chance be deductible, would it?

... I don't care what the dealers want. They can all go die in a fire. An EV battery fire, preferably.

I'd like to buy a 75 series Landcruiser. I don't care about US safety standards. Just put a sticker on them that says "Does not comply. Drive at your own risk." Or emissions. It's got to be better than the 1968 Dodge Powerwagon it will replace. Until then, suck on my pickup truck fumes.
