Beyond fair use available to all, how?

I can't remember the specific details now, all I recall is seeing the clause (yeah, I actually read the contracts and law, it's quite boring) describing a gov veto power over the brand but 1 in a million that they'd ever use it. I don't even think I bothered asking my lawyer about it and thinking "Of course, gov maintains power, well there's fuck all I can do about it, I may as well just move on"

It's was one of those "Oh, they can do that too can they - typical" moments - I'd never thought about it until I saw this story.

I'd be booking the car in for warranty work to remove it

Ads are designed to capture your attention. To do this to someone when they're driving is surely a safety issue to drivers, other cars, and anyone else.

The car is the ONE place where I can escape ads, unless I listen to a radio, which I rarely do because of the ads. This is so many levels of fucked up.

They don't want you to find the analog AI super computer they built in the 60's that made em write the warning "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION", in all caps like that.

> It's possible to help create something and yet hate nature the creation.

Sure, but people who hate their creation tends to not claim credit for it.

For that matter, I find that people who can create don't tend to get hung-up on their old creations, be they good or bad - they're just busy creating new things. On the other hand, if someone can't create, and they were lucky to be involved in the creation of something big but lost control - they can spend a lifetime being bitter.

Did they also realize they need a union

Unions for tech so we have a political voice to modulate technology in favor of humanity is probably one of the most important functions() a technology union could have.

reducing government corruption

Reducing any corruption, for it is the anathema of civilization. I wonder how many pro-freedom initiatives could be had if we all weren't so Pwned.
