That sounds like another tool I've heard something about recently.

I also see that LLMs are a natural progression of the limitless data hunger, so maybe it's good that we got here, hopefully at the endpoint?

Now I've actually read your essay and understand that GOFAI refers to even one level further back in bounded, small, and focused tools--but I think the point still stands that the real value is in more limited approaches and society is drunk on the idea of limitless capability.

I used to think that automation aided by machine learning could solve some meaningful problems. Then ChatGPT was released. Now it seems like there's no money left for AI that actually works.

Remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington - Wikipedia

I never said Bush shouldn't be evaluated on the consequences of decisions his admin made. I'm identifying that many of the things he said in speeches were good and stand in opposition to what ultimately happened (e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remarks...).

Yep. Welcome to America!

The machine that pushed his admin to make the massive unforced errors they did; that acted in opposition to Bush's words (the Fox News that demonized Islam while Bush called for the opposite). There's a split screen of memory of that time and both views are real.

I think I can explain the gap here: Bush the leader and orator wasn't all that bad; but there's a direct line from the political machine that empowered Bush to MAGA.

Forget lefties! What matters is the "not into politics" people who look at Trump and Newsom and say (correctly), "eh they're both elites who think the rules don't apply to them and don't care about people like me," and stay home in 2028. We need buy-in from people like this to defeat fascism.

How do you expect people in rural areas that aren't dense enough to support good public transit to get around? To take trash to the dump? By horse?

So you've never ridden in a car in your life and never will again, right?

I slap cars as much as the next bike commuter but this is the wrong place for this message. EVs are harm reduction. Drugs are harmful, but you don't go into to a safe injection site ranting about how drugs are bad, do you?

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Is there a name for it when the only backstop for risks arising from your incompetence is other bad choices you've made?

Ship board from Xia: Legends of a Drift System.

This is almost certainly LLM-generated based on board game art.

And because there's a well-oiled machine of Tesla bro influencers who are out there looking to convince the everyone on the internet that Tesla isn't fraud all the way down.

Wood stoves are still the best low-carbon heat when the power goes out, until battery prices drop by another factor of 2 or more.

Rad Power Bikes reaches deal to sell itself for $13.2 million | TechCrunch A company called Life Electric Vehicle Holdings has emerged as the top bidder for Rad Power's assets. It's not clear what the company plans to do with them, though.

NEW: Rad Power Bikes has a buyer -- a company called Life Electric Vehicles Holdings, which appears to be traded on the OTC markets 👀

I don't think it's quite that simple. He's also a Manchurian candidate suggestible narcissist who's controlled by his many advisers, some of whom are deeply committed to evil. I think it's hard to separate what's done by Trump for Trump and what's done through Trump by others.

I think they thought of the Equinox as the Bolt successor in their product planning and were surprised to learn that customers didn't view a hatchback and an SUV as equivalent. So they hurried out the Bolt refresh. And now they're making a very short-term incentives decision to kill it.

You're probably right, but doesn't that still look like mismanagement by GM? They must have spent a bit on the refresh. If the long-term plan was always another vehicle, then they should have released the refresh without a gap. Or had the next vehicle ready earlier.

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

The “different type of warrant”:

We just hit four years since we picked up our Ioniq 5. I posted a little writeup here: www.ioniqforum.com/threads/four...

Please god let this blow up. The most honest things Trump and Musk have said in the past year were against the other in their spat. This looks like it could be as good for the soul.

'Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the House’s top Democratic appropriator, acknowledged that the legislation does not include some of the “broader reforms Democrats proposed,” such as preventing DHS from detaining and deporting U.S. citizens ....' Yeah, that's definitely a big problem, DeLauro!

I'm gonna say under 25k. Canadian nationalism is through the roof right now and the Tesla demand hit is huge. It's obviously hard to pull apart the impact of tariffs and demand in 2025 data but I'd bet a lot of it is demand.

We got a Tucson loaner when our head unit died in 2023. We didn't mind the failure that much but driving the loaner made us so mad.

When the dealership called and revealed that the service advisor wrote down the wrong thing and they finally came to the diagnosis we walked in with, we flipped shit.

Is Denmark allegedly part of the axis of evil yet?
