Vote twice? No no no, you register 1000 companies and vote 1001 times.

I really hope AI ends up replacing CEOs and upper management.

That’s strange, as an old Star Trek fan I think this is the best ST I have seen in years.

No you misunderstood. My power comes from the electric company. Their power comes from solar.

Loan is based on cost not type of vehicle.

Afaik they are rolling out the whole thing gradually over this summer. For now I think it triggers AI only results occasionally. Give it a few months.

2 recalls, no cost to me. Brakes were serviced during that time free of charge. All they did was clean and check them. Also rotated tires for free.

My biggest expense I would assume will be my tires. It does weigh like 5400 lbs

According to the manufacturer, my battery should last 300k to 500k miles.

After 1 year ownership.
Zero maintenance costs this year, plus averaging around 3 to 5 cents per mile.

My motorcycle costs more to drive and maintain.

It’s nice knowing that no matter how expensive gas gets, I’m unaffected by it. Power comes from solar.

Even President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho didn’t waste money like this.

What qualifies this guy to make any predictions that are printable? He’s just making random guesses.

A Google Adwords update removed some of my “unremovable” rules recently . Seems like Google’s updates are a problem.

Try Reading Mode, it gives you this:

After months of discussion and outrage from residents, the city council of the tiny town of Bandera, Texas voted 3-2 to immediately end its contract with the surveillance company Flock. In the aftermath of the vote, one of the dissenting council members crashed out and said he would be introducing measures to ban cell phones, the internet, cameras, and nearly all technology in the town of roughly 900 people.

Bandera had a state grant to install eight Flock Safety AI license plate reader cameras in the tiny town. The technology proved to be incredibly controversial, with residents repeatedly turning out to city council meetings to say that they did not want government surveillance in the town; the poles that the cameras were installed on were repeatedly destroyed by vandals in protest, leading the town to have to replace them at their own expense. Last week, the town formally decided to abandon its contract with Flock entirely.

After the vote, Councilmember Jeff Flowers, a staunch Flock supporter, said that if people in the town wanted privacy then the city council should basically ban all technology, essentially calling people who did not want government surveillance hypocrites. Flowers said he would propose a series of new regulations at an upcoming city council meeting, which he is calling the “Bandera Declaration of Digital Independence.” In a letter posted by the local newspaper, the Bandera Bulletin, Flowers said that in the name of preserving privacy he would suggest the city go back to the days of 1880.

Do you know anything else about Flock? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at jason.404. Otherwise, send me an email at [email protected].

“For months, I have listened to the outcry regarding License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. I have seen the eyerolls, and I’ve even been met with ‘Nazi rhetoric,’ the dangerous claim that believing in accountability and community safety is somehow equivalent to totalitarianism,” Flowers wrote. “Comparing a neighbor’s desire for a safe street to a dark chapter of history is a classic case of comparing apples to oranges; it is a distraction used to avoid the reality of the threats our town faces today.”

Flowers said that at the next city council meeting he will propose “a total ban on all cellular and GPS-capable devices for all operations within city limits. If we are to be truly ‘private,’ we must leave our smartphones at the city line.” He will also propose “a total ban on outward facing cameras,” and “a total termination of all internet services and electronic record-keeping. We are going back to 1880, paper ledgers and cash only.”

Where are these hyper intelligent machines?

When I look at all the paid streaming services they generally only have about 3 titles that appeal to me. It just makes economic sense to watch those titles that appeal to you and cancel afterwards. If you are making 100k a year then who cares about a $500 in streaming services per year. That just means Gen Z is being smart with their money.

Plus there’re so many old titles you can watch with ads for free on Pluto, YouTube etc. And if you are really poor there’s always the high seas.

How very Don Quixote.

People still read the verge? After the Stefan fiasco I figured no one would ever trust them again.

Every year there’s one free game that interests me. Otherwise eventually I’m going to give my Epic account to one of my nephews/nieces.

This sounds on par for all the AI I have been dealing with. I find it works best if you give it a lot of rules, then treat it like a 12 year old and expect wild mistakes for anything more complicated than a simple calculator. I work primarily with Gemini and have it build simple HTML/CSS and it’s infuriating how many times I have told it to use &amp ; instead of &.
Now every time it does anything, it’s always telling me how it included the correct ampersand. It can’t tell me why it screwed up like 5 times prior, it just makes up some BS and apologizes profusely.
The more rules you give it, even if it ignores them sometimes, the better.
