Just like all the 80s cars being resurrected now and Model Ts in the 50s, and Civics in the 2010s. The difference is that a 2023 Challenger falling apart in the 2040s won’t be salvageable without gutting the car and it’s complicated electronics package.

You can brag about your Civic all you want, but you’re a Luddite like the rest of us. Where I live, your car is soon becoming eligible for an antique license plate.
There's a pretty hard line for avoiding electronic imposed obsolescence around the 06-08 model years. There are exceptions and workarounds, yes, but after that point, you are essentially buying a vehicle which has an electronic, manufacturer dictated service life.
 
WHATS THE POINT OF SPENDING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A DEGREE WHEN YOU ARE JUST GOING TO BE REPLACED BY A PAJEET WITH FAKE DEGREE?

Why is this allowed, its handing away power and security and unecessary. You can't tell me India is better than America at anything. Look at their military. Look at their sports. Look at them.
 
No one thinks about Watson in 2023 2025. They remember Watson on Jeopardy as an interesting anecdote, but they don't associate it with modern AI.
One of this biggest news items in the tech world in the last few months is that IBM is now making billions of dollars in the AI space, led mainly by Watson-X software. It's not as visible in pop-tech spaces because nobody cares about boring shit like tagging 25 years worth of unsorted financial data for better fraud detection, but unlike yet another iteration of Coomer.ai, it's actually making money.
 
Suppose that in a year or two Elon’s Optimus robots become widely available, with an asking price of 20-30k. Would you buy one, and if so, what would you do with it? (You can’t rape it)
 
it’s because Indians will work back breaking hours for peanuts much like he Chinese
It's still not cost-effective. Sure, you have a slave, but then that nigga rapes every single woman in a 5 mile radius, your office smells like curry and diarrhea 24/7 and worst of all, even the output is not worth the damages of something like the CrowdStrike security update.

So that's the life when hiring jeets. Nonstop sex assault cases, a wall that is now sticky brown, and everything exploding, causing millions in damages.

Absolutely not. I don't want a termi anywhere near my home. The day I can't load my own dishwasher is the day I invest in paper plates. There are a hundred and one cheaper and less troublesome solutions than dealing with a termi recording me scratching my balls.

Nigger hasn't even released the solar/battery homes that he promised for like 2017, his hyperloop shit is abysmal. Robots are a long way off. He's a snake oil salesman.
 
You know damn well someone will find a way to rape those things.
Yeah, Grok will. Old classic of crime statistics- violent offenses are usually committed by someone of the victim’s same ethnic background. A lot of hay will be made about human-AI rape but really, it’s just going to be different permutations of rogue Groks terrorizing the more docile AIs.

You could have fun with my motorcycle, it's carbureted with a fuel pump to fill the carbs, and vacuum lines informing the 1985 ignition computer when it should send spark. It's literally the worst of both worlds lmao

Either the lifespan is dictated by when the rubber hoses leak (easy enough to replace, provided you know which hose does what) or by when the ignition computer starts to fail. If you are really unlucky, it can be both! Or it can be neither because your carb is plugged in some way.

There really is something to be said for modern cars having OBD ports for the computer to tell you what it sees is broken/failing, but that increased complexity means worse user reparability. As much as I love the concept of fixing my own stuff even that has frontloaded costs for getting all the tools you need.

Imagine a future where Grok is like an AI Genghis Khan. That is where we are heading.

When it comes to your own interpretation of American politics and law do you believe that the American Constitution is a product of enlightenment ideals such as natural law and 'social contract' theories introduced by Locke and Hobbes (the view of Thomas Paine and the Jeffersonian-Republicans)? Or do you believe that its a product of English constitutionalism and common law tradition (the view of Edmund Burke and the Federalists)?
And based on your answer, what implications does that have for what it means to be an American and American politics?

Means jackshit if the manufacturer won't share information with you to understand and program it yourself. I love that Forscan is available for Ford and I can reprogram an ABS module that even my fucking mechanic can't figure out with his $2000 diagnostic computer, and all it cost me was $30 and the 5 minues to register for a free license.

That said, I've got a 1978 Jeep CJ5 I'm restoring, and I'm really looking forward to having a slow piece of unreliable shit vehicle that I can fix on my own without needing a computer.
