An assessment of the global electric vehicle market and Ford merited one lukewarm, brief sentence. At the time, Farley was the Executive Vice President and President of Global Markets. If that sounds like a job that would require paying close attention to China’s reality and increasing competitiveness, it is. If that sounds like a job that should understand disruptive innovation’s death knell for firms like Ford, it is. If that sounds like a job that should have been creating strategy to deal with the reality of China’s emerging electric vehicle juggernaut, it is.

Auto industry mismanagement is redundant.

perhaps at one point, it will begin to understand

Nope! Not unless one alters the common definition of the word “understand” to account for what AI “does”.

And let’s be clear - that is exactly what will happen. Because this whole exercise in generative AI is a multi-billion dollar grift on top of a hype train, based on some modest computing improvements.

A fifty year old maxim, to be clear. They “just now” “found that out”.

Biggest. Scam. Evar.

AIzheimers?

I see your needless pedantry and raise you abrasive grammarian.

Of course! An ChatGPT is an ouroboros, ChatGPT what is an ouroboros.

“If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too?”

Glad we found the answer to that parental koan.

DNA storage.

It is good. The problem I’m having is they still gobble tons of data from any Android device that hasn’t been rooted and locked down.

For example the Google Play store, the main source of apps for everyone, grabs what when and how of everything one touches in there, and they squirrel it away with all your other juicy information to craft the better advertising weapon.

Yes, F-droid, apkmirror, others. But the point is it’s not enough to just limit interactions with official Google apps, the platform itself has to be locked down via a custom rom (which is its own, different set of challenges).

In general, I am rather skeptical of “free speech absolutism” and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.

Yeah it’s almost always a front for batshit right-wing nutjobbery.

Rumble CEO was in the news for something recently. I’m feeling avoid-y of it at any rate because of the Qanuts and “Libertarians” on it.

I search “invidious instances” and pick some from the list - one of them will work.

Now that was a peripheral protocol standard.

sigh

I was thinking some variant of “illustration” or “graphic design”

Garbage in, something something

This bad boy can fit so many X’s in it

“Manga editorial office”??

They’re the same picture.

Seasons don’t fear the reaper

What are the chances that this is the investors getting cold feet about the AI hype?

Investors have proven over and over they’re credulous idiots who understand sweet fuck-all about technology and will throw money at whatever’s in their face. Creepy Sam and the Microshits will trot out some more useless garbage and prize a few more billion out of the market in just a little while.
