It doesn't need to be. There are other reasons to wean off x86.

Sure. If you completely ignore the context that it is only intended for automated crawlers and misread it as referring to everyone then, yes, I agree that would be ridiculous...

(It's also kind of ridiculous in these days to have an essentially-voluntary anti-bot system and expect it to do anything, but that's another topic.)

Yeah, but not the old Delhi.

No more Daisy Dukes?

Command economies pretty much died after 1991. China tries, but it keeps stepping on its own dick every time Xi issues an edict trying to buck market forces.

It's pretty much neutral. In our state, oil and gas subsidize other programs. I would be shitting in my pants, because without the socialist fingers in our till, we'd be paying about a buck a gallon less for gas.

Ok bot.

No monopoly is required for them to violate the law.

That's true even in the US, not that we enforce antitrust law here.

And you've made your own non-anonymous coward comment. You're afraid to not be a cuck for corporations.

The Luddites didn't want to ban technology.

They wanted The People to share in the benefits, not just the capitalists (who have all the investment capital.)

You are still falling for and propagating anti-Luddite PR over a century old.

You will eat nothing and like it.

Or, you know, starve.

Now do the calculations with a non-swasticar.

Tesla is worst at service of all US automakers, who wants to be chained to them?

Perhaps. But Uber will have to build out its fleet of autonomous vehicles. That's a big capital investment. That they are dropping $4000 per vehicle into the existing drivers hands seems to indicate that they don't yet have a better place to invest it. Like their own equipment.

And keep in mind that the original Uber model was an app that leveraged driver-owned cars. Dump all those drivers back onto the market and some smart developers (probably Vibe coded) will build a new app for them.

Ban the dumb, lying, hallucinating, sycophantic, power-hungry insanity we have now and bring AI online only after it's proven to be reliable.

... because the economics justify it. Not for the free cheese of subsidies.
