Ah so your call to action is… Inaction? Very enlightening, thanks.

🤨

You’ve offered no real actual actions though. Change… What? To what? Your world is also quite literally burning and drying up. You could share your clearly superior wisdom instead of just dunking on Americans, which is frankly low hanging fruit anyway.

So what do you do?

My second work phone is an iPhone, so I’m a lifelong iOS hater but I’ve had a few generations of them. Let me tell you these things crash all the time, it is only slightly better at covering for itself.

No I’m actually pretty sure I’m infallible. I went to Jerusalem recently and learned a great deal about myself.

Well just because it’s on my schedule doesn’t mean I’ll get to it, anyway.

Nice!

Oh, okay. Cool.

I’ll reiterate the above examples are on empty roads, I don’t take chances with other drivers. That being said there’s no world where I’m wasting several minutes and gas just because a timer clicked off. I am a human being and while I respect machines and the intentions with which they were designed, machines hold no authority over me. And if it’s weight based and you ride a motorcycle you literally have no other choice as the bike won’t set it off. You can run the light or wait possibly hours for another vehicle to set it off for you. So if that makes me a chode then I guess I’m a big ol’ tuna can.

Okay.

Could you point out for me which behaviors are reckless, irresponsible, and chode like? I’m also dumb.

Pick one

No. I’ll admit my verbage could probably use some work, but oh well. Many traffic laws exist to fund police departments. I obey the laws that are grounded in reality. I’ve driven professionally and if 10000 hours of practice makes mastery then I’ve easily at least tripled that, easy. If you’re imagining someone driving like a complete douche that’s probably not me, as I’m extremely considerate of other drivers, having no faith in their abilities or perceptions. But I hate being in a car and when I’m driving I want it to end as quickly as possible so I will speed through a yellow if there’s visibility both ways and no cross traffic and I will speed on empty highways and I will treat traffic lights like four-way stops if there’s no one else on the road. Etc

Jokes on them, I drive recklessly as hell and in twenty years am at fault for zero accidents, while my wife hates driving with me and drives incredibly cautiously and has been at fault in accidents. Can the algorithm see past 'this person accelerates quicker therefore should have a higher premium" because otherwise I feel like the old system was working. It was frustrating to pay more as a young male driver, but I’ve proven myself and my abilities behind the wheel and wish to continue to pay accordingly.

That can’t be right.

I think the real question is what is the value we are getting out of the resources used? Do we need AI forced into every platform? Personally, I don’t think so. But just to be sure I asked Chat GPT and here is its answer:

“Rather than integrating Al into every possible application, a more measured approach might be beneficial. Assessing the actual need and impact of Al in specific use cases can help avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Al should be implemented where it provides significant benefits and improvements, rather than as a default addition to every platform.”

So even the AI itself knows it is used frivolously.

They’re idiots, he’s an unapologetic idiot who acts smart. He makes them feel smart. He makes them feel better about their shitty opinions.

Apt name.

No they liked that he was an honest politician who wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. Then Trump kind of ran away with that and that’s what they like about Trump now even though it’s all BS.

Also I never said they were my friends.

See now that seems fishy to me. I know Washington gets pretty red outside the city and the counties with the major metro areas swing pretty far east to incorporate those areas, BUT back before the spectacle of Trump I knew and worked with a bunch of Republicans who actually genuinely liked Bernie. Now of course Republicans probably aren’t participating in the Democratic primary caucuses, but I still find it kind of hard to believe Dems in the city wanted Bernie but country Dems wanted Hillary? No matter how much time passes I’m not buying it.
