The problem is the charity is buying from the charity founder’s farm. That’s a huge conflict of interest.

I mean, he’s not fully wrong. You either fucking stick with your goals or you don’t. Personally, I think full EV within the next decade is a pipe dream and doesn’t actually resolve the fundamental problem. Hybrids are much simpler to manufacture, require far less toxic lithium mining and production, and have a very notable reduction in emissions in the short and long-term.

Why the fuck aren’t we pushing hybrids?? It’s such a better gateway transition until we get better fucking battery technology than is lithium ion.

100% this. The guy was literally a consultant and a developer. It’d just be bad business for him to outright dismiss AI without having actual hands on experience with said product. Clients want that type of experience and knowledge when paying a business to give them advice and develop a product for them.

Turnitin is such garbage. I hated it in grad school in the mid 2010s, I can only imagine how fucking awful it is now.

100%. “Put it… INNNN” always cracks me up

What about it do you not trust, out of curiosity? And how do you ensure OS integrity if not using TPM?

I don’t think greed is the only answer. There is a legitimate demand for food, and pests are constantly adapting to various pesticides. I think the answer is greed and some other nuance.

As for the DMV thing: You sweet summer child.

Lol, dude, I’m in my early 40s. Go to the DMV and try bribing a government official and report back. Please. I beg of you.

Um, having direct access to pull my government photo ID is a huge deal. Lots of online services require photo ID or other more in-depth verification to pull loans and stuff. So yes, this new vector IS a serious concern.

And paying someone $50 at any DMV? C’mon, man, that sounds like some unfounded bullshit. Hardly anyone is going to risk a cushy government job with solid benefits and great hours for fucking $50, let alone the potential risk of going to jail.

Yeah, people already browse porn with zero privacy precautions, so linking their fetishes to them would be trivial. The main concern is having yet another privacy vulnerability vector for identity theft.

And I would wager those items they’ve eaten the cost on, is what they’re seeking compensation on.

Jfc, he spent $20 million of taxpayer dollars to defend himself in court? Why the fuck do politicians get to use public funds to legally defend themselves?

Wtf movie is the 8800 from? That and the top right are the only characters I don’t recognize.
