I did recall vaguely something like that, but couldn't remember what it was, thanks for that.
But absolutely, especially if you had something like a 4.5 foot bed normally, but between frunk pass through and tailgate with load stop you could carry some 16 foot long planks... Something you might rarely need to do and not with a lot of planks, so a huge bed is pointless most of the time.
Funny. I was thinking how cool it would be if an EV truck with a frunk had a midgate, fold down front passenger seat, and ability to open the dash somehow to pass though very long things into trunk area.
Wow, a "kids these days are just lame" sentiment, which is as tired and old as we have been writing it down. Every single generation have broadly had no self-awareness and recalled their coming of age with rose-colored glasses. They were plucky, hard working, courageous, but kids these days seem to never share those same traits.
I’d love to see these kids turn AI into the tool that they want it to be.
The challenge is the consolidation of the power, they can't realistically expect to actually shape how it will be used, but they have plenty of material and evidence of who actually does get to shape it and how it's going to go. The biggest sociopathic, out of touch jerks are the ones cheering the hardest, and that is a very bad sign. They are cheering about software without developers, music without musicians, art without artists, and so on. They offer no appreciation for the people graduating at their own graduation and instead see it as a platform to talk up AI instead. It's a gigantic "fuck you" to the graduates to leverage their commencement in such a way.
We have AI companies running ads about how someone was going to do comp sci, but since that can't work out, they are going to do dance. Which we are to take as inspirational, but the practical reality to this scenario is no livelihood available. No vision for livelihoods, just elimination of opportunity. Plus they actually have used the damn stuff, they know the disconnect between promise and reality, but they are still stuck competing with it, which is also insulting as folks have no more confidence in grads than generative AI.
We have comments like this, making it plainly clear exactly what sort of structure they have in mind, from Larry Ellison: “Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on."
Note he didn't say "our best behavior", it is "their best behavior". He isn't included, he isn't a part of it. The rabble are to be managed and he is to continue to enjoy being "One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison".
Then something unexpected happened. Students began to boo.
This was expected by everyone, I recall Eric Schmidt himself talking about how disappointed he was that students were booing but he would turn the students around at his speech.
From there the article roughly seems to be roughly dismissive of the students and pretty bullish about AI anyway. Real Skinner "no, it's the children who are wrong" energy wrapped up in way too many words.
Though in a pretty good situation, you hopefully have decent sidewalks and bikelines with some separation from traffic, especially oncoming traffic.
If these things are in the bike lane, they seem hazardous to more typical occupants of that lane, if the car lane, seems more dangerously close to big vehicles.
That said, if confined to typical downtown traffic speeds, probably not as much to worry about usually.
Speed is relative. It may not go fast relative to the ground, but relative to oncoming traffic..
Lot's of peaple slamming its use...
It depends on the nature of the job.
If you are a educated professional, then companies get pissy about how your second job might interfere with your primary work and erode some competitive advantage.
If you are working hours in a fast food place, they don't give a shit unless you fail to cover your shifts and never are available to pick up a shift for someone who can't cover theirs.
a share of % of the profits.
Hollywood already has the playbook for that. You can have as little "profit" as you need to avoid payouts to people with profit share arrangements. Funny how executive compensation cuts into profits...
There's a difference.
When Daren goes 80 in a 30, they actually might be punished as that abuse is recognized and penalized.
With LLMs, there's no such thing as consequences for the bad uses, only rewards.
Internet video feeds are chock full of slop now because that is rewarded. Video platforms are even making "AI remix" buttons to accelerate taking an actual video with thought and effort behind it into uninspired slop. People are making knockoffs left and right but the courts are largely ruling that AI is 'transformative' so those knockoffs that a human would get sued over are getting passes. Managers are micromanaging worker use of AI in hopes that maybe they can prove they can fire most of them.
LLMs enable the worst users more than they enable good users. In software development, the responsible operation of an LLM might speed up a developer 20-50%, depending on the context. An irresponsible one that just assumes the output is good will post a whole lot of crap. Same for all fronts, prose, video production, music. People who care about the medium can get some speedups, but people who are just lazy, uninspired, but see an opportunity can drown out the quality content.
Points for a non-AI fix.
