The less said about other plans Germany made in the 1930s the better.

Manufacturers and dealers dont tend to make service bulletins and the high level stuff available to the consumer unfortunately.

I want an AI/LLM that has been trained exclusively on the technical documentation and a haynes manual for a make and model of car.

“Hey AI, how do I change the fuel filter and what tools will I need?”

While I agree in principle you will never catch 100% of the bugs pre-launch, has there ever been a game that didnt need at least a few patches in the last 20 years?

Id be keen to read the exact wording of the clause “Dont say anything negative” and “dont say anything negative without talking to us first” are very different statements. I can understand the devs wanting a chance to say “Yep, we know about that and it will be fixed pre-launch” or “Ill put in a ticket to get that looked at ASAP” to the playtesters before they trash the game publicly.

Its also a playtest.

I’ll tell anyone who will listen not to buy a car thats been developed on a new platform for at least 3 years to give them time to find faults in the design in real world conditions. If your playtesting or in early access you are literally playing a prototype, a bunch of content creators spouting off about how its a buggy mess could put a stink on the whole project that people will remember even if its perfectly polished by launch.

Yeah, but… the food part.

If you sorted out the methodology one person could staff a changeless truck, you start giving change thats a lot of time.

Its also why I believe most modern governments try REALLY hard not to go to war. Not because of the death and destruction but because they dont want a combat trained populace.

Also because shared adversity unites, the differences between people get really unimportant when they are trying to keep each other alive in combat.

The idea of a significant percentage of “us” coming back and being united and trained well enough to actually threaten the system scares the piss out of them.

The biggest bottleneck on both of them these days is getting the heat away from the cpu and into the cooler fast enough. Unless you’re de-lidding your cpu, using a peltier or some other lower than ambient powered cooling theres probably a negligible amount in it.

I mean on the other hand, I know plenty of people who are either Egyptian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Persian (everyone I know who is from Iran magically becomes “Persian” once they immigrate for some reason… probably all that “Death to the west” that I see on the news) and for some reason I never have to ask where they stand on the issue. Muslims scare white people more than Jews, brown Muslims even more. Give them a beard and a kaftan and you watch Karen clutch her pearls. At least the Jewish people get Jon Stewart and Mel Brooks.

The vast majority of people dont see this as a vast complicated 70 year ongoing geopolitical hot potato, they just pick their side and defend it.

This is the same sort of shit my 60yo aunt posts on facebook.

This is the kicker. They are a pretty good solution now, but they could be amazing.

At least in my country they need to hammer out a consistent set of rules and laws regarding their use. Last time I checked the vast majority of them are effectively illegal because under current laws they are too powerful to be considered an assisted pushbike, you cant register them as a roadgoing vehicle because they dont have indicators and brake lights and you cant ride them on the footpath because riding on the footpath is against the law.

Which puts them in that lovely legal space of “Does a cop want to fuck with me today?” Fortunately our police tend to be pretty cool on the subject because they know that technically taking it out of your house is illegal which is dumb.

Lets be real here, the “Kid” is 17.

Now I dont know what a healthy father/son relationship looks like because I never had one but it seems to me that knowing “Dad likes blondes with big tits” might be slightly less scarring than being left entirely to your own devices with no oversight and going down a rabbit hole of xvideos fetish porn.

Theres 2 kinds of men in the world. Those that have beaten their dick, and fucking liars. Maybe this shit is weird and creepy, and maybe they have had honest and open discussions about sex and he is trying to give his son healthy attitudes towards it.

Ive told my daughter “Always be nice to the quiet ones and the weird ones. Be nice and be friendly, the extroverts of the world will be fine on their own.”

Its really creepy and intrusive. But at the same time, I can find really fucked up porn with literally zero effort.

I mean, if your kid has terrabytes of rough incest bdsm porn people will ask why you werent monitoring their internet use, but monitoring them like this feels like a different kind of weird.

Then you look for the other person at the party standing there back to the wall looking like a deer in headlights and make friends or at least form a D&D group.

And also less likely to be married or in a long term relationship, have a baby momma/daddy or be a hopeless deadbeat who cant keep a job… yet.

It isnt fish in a barrel, its a barrel full of fish.

Id be surprised if he did, but I wouldnt rule it out.

Someone on Reddit called this a while back. General gist was

“Given how poorly his buying of Twitter has gone Id put money on Musks exit plan will be to start his own “A.I” development program, intertwine it with X to the point where they cant be separated and then sell off his new “A.I development platform” to whoever pisses their pants over the letters A.I and writes the biggest cheque”

How many times do I have to qualify that I dont think this is someone who is legit?

Personal Assistants exist so that people who have the means (probably not this guy) dont have to do mundane shit like remember to set alarms and if they are willing to adequately compensate someone for that level of work (which this twit isnt) then go for it.

If I won the lottery, Id have a housekeeper and a lawn guy because although I now dont have anything better to do, I still dont want to do that shit.

If someone wants to offer me $200k a year to handle all his mundane shit and water his bonsai with EXACTLY 30ml of water every 2 days my response would be “Tap, filtered or demineralised?” not “why dont you do it your fucking self?”
