Are you sure you want that?

You have made the first step. Good for you!

A LOT of things can wait.

Nope I cannot. But I’m just fine leaving the house without any kind of device on my person at all. I’ve had to be “connected” by pager(s) and phone 24/7/365 for years when I worked in public safety. And now that I’m retired, I’m so over it.

It’s taken a few years, but I’m finally free.

To be fair, being behind the curve and then coming into the market and refining that Model T into a Rolls Royce is a time honored business model. But the tricky part is to come out with an actual Rolls Royce without a hiccup.

Apple missed the mark here.

That’s called marketing. And a customer base willing to eat whatever garbage you’re feeding them.

Oh you sweet summer child. Do you actually think the price of GPUs are going to come down?!?

While certainly cool and a middle finger to the man, it’s just one more thing for dumbass drivers to be distracted with. And an increased chance to get stupid and maybe kill someone.

What part of using AI to diagnose of cancer causes cancer?

So you admit that AI is a useful tool for some needs.

So, the AI the doctors use to help scan for cancers should be stopped. Gotcha.

Fool of a Took…

AI IS a useful tool for some things, just not everything. So it ain’t going away. Just as the “cloud” is still with us. Or email. Anyone remember when every ISP had their own email?

Every new idea goes through the process of catching on, stupid rapid growth, and then the weeding out of 90+ % of them, and finally the stabilizing the market for those that actually need and use it. Whether is cars, TVs, Cell phones, or AI, every hot new idea goes through this process.

That amount of processing power wouldn’t play Doom.

US auto makers have done such things before. For a few years, GM sold the Chevy Luv which was a rebadged Izuzu. Ford has done the same with Volkswagon and others.

We could maybe have done that. But Konqueror has never been that good every time I tried it.

I’m using Zen now. it took me a while while to get the hang of the UI. But once I did I found it to be very nice to have those spaces that I can organize for different tasks.

Hhhmmmm, sounds perfect for the subscription model…

Court is time consuming and expensive. You lose a day’s wages, you get probably get fined anyway, and you may also need to pay a lawyer and court costs. So you assume everyone can afford that? White or Black?

It must be nice to have that extra money.

You were lucky. What would have you done if you couldn’t prove you no longer had possession of the car? If they had ticketed the driver directly, none of that could have happened to you. There would have been nothing for you to prove.This is why the state I live in has had that law requiring ticketing the actual driver and not the car decades before traffic cameras were even a thing.

And since there are no self driving cars that can be commonly found on the roads today, that’s a silly idea. And IF that time ever comes, someone is still going to need to be liable for that self driving car as it goes down the road. That software is going to be so locked down it must follow all laws without exception. Because the company will hold the liability.

You what really works? Having a law on the books that plainly states the “the driver must be ticketed”. And NOT the vehicle. So unless they pull the car over and hand the ticket to whoever is driving, they can’t use cameras for that purpose.
