Black Mirror did an episode similar to this. "Hated by the Nation"
Bees went extinct, so we made robot bees to do the job. These were ultimately hijacked and used to kill people. Person who was killed was whoever got the most 'votes' on social media. Torch and Pitchforks from the comfort of your own home!
Seems ludicrous when summarised, but watch the episode and tell me where the plot hole is, if you can find one.
Sounds like it will remind me of the dystopian plot from the movie AI, which offered a similar damning commentary about the nature of human society.
Lp, the only fact you managed to spew forth is that Tesla is going subscription for FSD, everything else is your own poorly formed opinion. Ev batteries will outlast the vehicles, ie 20-30yrs before being repurposed, it’s what the science shows it’s what real world charging data shows. Go and educate yourself ffs.
Did I trigger something, are you a disgruntled Tesla investor? Not to worry SpaceX will list soon.
Firstly, I think you've confused contemptuous AI driven marketing for science, and I could debate it here but it's the wrong thread, I was more discussing the corporate tactics and the inevitable. But it is cute that you think the concept of subscriptions will stop with FSD, stay optimistic!
btw., If I recall correctly, when previously discussing the very long term carbon debt (NIMBY carbon it seems) that comes with offloading a perfectly good ICE for a brand new EV, those so inclined to argue the EV position claimed that the EVs would functionally outlast the batteries many times over, I think some claimed at least 1 million kilometers, and as such the vehicles carbon deficit was irrelevant to battery longevity. Now we read your post claiming that the batteries will outlast the car!
Yet another Con of the EV market exposed today, you buy a Tesla full of promise about self-driving, cheaper to run, latest technology, etc., etc..
Then you wake up today to read Tesla is moving features and capabilities you were waiting for, or some you already had, into subscription only. The car you've already bought and paid for is now going to cost you more on top of the energy and servicing bills, just to keep it running!
Who'd have thunk it!
You can see why RedTrump and Musk get along just fine.
They've turned your car into a phone service, how long before they start turning off the service when the Corporate AI Robo Debt claims you are in default?
Even worse, those low cost Chinese EVs, they'll see this happening and think "I'll have a bit of that!"
All this before battery shock hits you at year 10!
I'd just like to acknowledge Australian Test captain Alyssa Healy's wonderful career now that she has announced her retirement. She has had an outstanding career in all forms of the game.
I really enjoyed listening to her insights in the commentary box. She is extremely knowledgeable, speaks clearly and explains things very well, and has a good sense of humour without being blokey. I think part of her post-playing career is sewn up!
Congratulations!
Agreed, a stellar career, and perhaps not dissimilar to Gilchrist in changing the way Keeper's are perceived.
The girls are really showing that in some sports the difference in performance between men and women can quite small. I accept we are unlikely to see a 200cm 150kph bowler in the women's competition, but there are already plenty pushing towards the 130kph mark and that's plenty by the standards of the vast majority of cricketers male or female.
Trump is apparently offering Greenlanders 10,000 to 100,000 to switch the country to the USA If I was a Greenlander and he made it a million I'd do it in a heart-beat.
Then I'd move to Canada
Inflation says no.
If RedTrump went ahead with this inflation in the USA and Greenland would go through the roof, immediately the $1M would be worth next to nothing. It's the fundamental problem with unrestrained capitalism and it would be put on steroids by adding 100k overnight millionaires to USA economy at the expense of US citizens.
In any case, whatever value remained they would lose almost immediately it in fees, taxes and duties. Can you imagine Greenlandic natives suddenly losing Danish Health benefits and welfare to be left at the mercy of the privatised US Health and Social Services system, what's the fee for a call out to Greenland?
Trump's plans to acquire Greenland are disturbing for Australia imho.Denmark has been a good ally, had a long-term military relationship buying USA equipment and producing fighter aircraft parts for them.
RedTrump is a loudmouth fluffernutter, he can't even roll out the National Guard in his own backyard without it being defeated. He'll talk big but the actions won't match the words, there are too many in his immediate political circle that have too much to lose.
Don't confuse bullying Venezuela's crooks who were already skimming from the USA, with the USA having a genuine crack at a Sovereign nation.
We can only speculate based on the tactics of the past, but that weas a list with a very different structure.
Most of our list have AFL capabilities, they might not be the capabilities that fans want but whether they succeed or not tends to be more about how the MC and Coach put them to use and not so much about the opinions of fans.
There is no valid short-term reason why Green keeps getting a game ahead of Webster, I'm not interested in a debate just posting an observation.
Webster has done nothing wrong at every opportunity and struggles to get a game, Green has done little right and can't be dropped.
I'm assuming Boland has some injury or issue because he's bowled well but got just a couple of overs before they brought Green on and Nesser back.
Smith's a great batsmen but tactically he's a dud captain, he's lucky he's captained in an era through which we have dominant individuals including himself.
I don't know who to blame for the lack of a front line spinner, but regardless of the game outcome it's biting them on the ar5e at the moment. They have taken their foot of the throat of England, did they do this for the good of test cricket or through stupidity?
I think it's just a fundamental nature of tyrants, and there are tyrants on all sides of this issue, there is no good will evident from any angle.
The more disturbing aspect of this latest series of events, is that RedTrump did not even consult his own caucus in the planning. It's a sign he no longer holds regard for the political process, he has become bolder and bigger than the GOP. As a result I doubt he will abide by the next election result, and I suspect the fundamentals of the US constitution are now at very high risk, more so than at any time previous and previous events were alarming enough.
We went into a SCG test without a spinner, batting so deeply Starc is at 10, and we sent out a nightwatchmen.
There are so many wrongs with the current state of Test Cricket I don't know where to start, the sport of cricket is doing this to itself, it's like Test Cricket is now an unwanted obligation rather than the pinnacle of the sport!
RedTrump, Maduro, Rodriguez, Putin, Xi, Kim, etc., etc., are basically all grifters lining their own pockets at the expense of the societies they live in, they are a den of thieves and cannot be trusted in either words or actions.
I feel the only way to get them into line is for society to threaten their personal wealth, but I have no idea how that could be accomplished. I'd like to see far greater personal risk attached to their investments, with much longer term liability.
Brazil did well with Bolsonaro, but Brazil is a rather unique politically active and highly motived culture that has a history of defending it's environment.
After all the calls for Green's head, he's now bowling early on a wicket that so far this season looks like the least helpful wicket for fast bowlers, and they've gone into the game without a spinner on what appears to be the most spin friendly pitch cut to 6mm.
Furthermore, he's bowling ahead of Webster who seems to have him well covered as a change bowling option in domestic 1st class.
I'd assert on display is the full bullsh1t of Cricket Australia.
It reminds me of AFL players who put end at the last possible moment before the contract is signed.
King Taco might try to grab low hanging fruit but he didn’t earn his nickname lightly.
Putin, Xi and Lil Kim assassinate domestic opponents and occasionally a foreign based dissidents, but not foreign bureaucrats or leaders, in this regard they are somewhat smarter than RedTrump.
RedTrump is a two bob bully, and bullies never pick on someone who is capable of fighting back!
It seems to me this event has exposed a major weakness in the USA, they are desperate for oil. Obviously the US domestic reserves aren't anywhere near as abundant as the GOP claim, otherwise they'd be busy enacting the "drill baby drill" protocol in their own backyard, instead they embarked on an exceptionally expensive foreign incursion.
