Sorry to be blunt, but are you an idiot? People have been talking about it since at least the mid 80s, there are government policies on it in the 90s, and the whole 'EV revolution' arguably started to go into full swing about 13 years ago.

'Not a very sophisticated one'

At least you are honest in this. Or resigned.

It truly would only take an RPI 3 and Ollama to deliver believable posts in your style. Much easier to train an llm on repetitive content. But thanks, you saved me a mod point.

I don't buy that argument, and here's why: They knew political parties were a problem but they didn't spend literally any time writing rules for them. What I think is that they wanted problems they thought they would be the only ones smart enough to exploit.

The founding fathers claimed all men were created equal, then gave the vote only to landed white males. They were not all the same, but they all colluded to preserve their power.

When you participate in capitalism you are seeking some level of efficiency. Your specific goals may differ, but you're trying to get a service at a price point. I like to treat people like people, I don't expect to push a button and have them vend, but that includes taking what they want into account. Politeness exists in the intersection of that and what I want. If you're bartering goods that's one thing, if you're trading money for products or services it's another. Putting a song and dance in front of it so you can pretend it isn't happening and everyone is having a good time is delusion, to which I am opposed mostly because it retards progress.

I don't know TRS' story so I can't comment on it.

Commodore flattened itself with a shitty CEO. They also published schematics for their computers. There was nothing closed about the Amiga platform except the source code, and the chip designs. Both the accelerator slot and the expansion slots were well-documented. And on Amigas with bridgecards you can have ISA cards... or now you can even get a PCI bridgecard. And there are PowerPC accelerators, '060 accelerators with FPGA, ARM accelerators...

Your rebuttal is that you're intellectually lazy? Tell me something I don't already know, friend.

"I *would* argue that Apollo 8 and 13 did not go to the moon"

Hey, this is your nit. So...

No 'Apollo' went to the Moon. That achievement was credited to Lunar Landers...

Apollo 8 was an unqualified success.

Apollo 13 was in fact a partly successful mission, and was indeed NASA's finest hour. Everything before that laid the groundwork for recovery from sure disaster, and everything after that was more mindful than ever of the real challenges of space.

And forgotten when NASA started believing they were smarter than they were, and the Shuttle program cost astronaut lives, many needlessly.

I'm not very hopeful that Artemis will be worth the expense, but if ii succeeds, I am back in love with space exploration.

> all those AI hype men are feeding him?

Hype-women are more effective, spotting boobs reduces a man's IQ by 15%.

Karl Marx was 80% right.

Good point! Maybe the first successful AI movies will be comedies and spoofs: "Pirates of the Mar-a-Lago"

Early Model T's broke your arm when the starter backfired. People often bought after-market auto-starters, and then Ford eventually included it as part of the car.

Some of them *use* robots.txt to find out what to scrape.

You can put tripwires in there and feed logs to fail2ban, for instance.

But current AI mostly works, whereas an alleged philosopher's stone did absolutely diddly squat when observed.

Do you actually believe AI is stuck in its D+ state for say 50 years?

Someday such technology will ubiquitous enough to watch the entire news this way.

(Biden looks eerily like Jen Psaki. Foil hat stuff...)
