I’m not paying $640k for that thing for other reasons. What the hell was Ferrari thinking? Are they trying to make the ugliest Ferrari ever so they can say “see, nobody wants and EV”?

Is that some kind of gotcha or something?

The average car buyer does not want to buy an expensive EV just to have an EV and will buy a $40k Toyota Sienna before they buy a $60k VW ID.Buzz.

Pretty easy to grasp…It’s not rocket surgery. Make affordable EVs and not upmarket EVs and people will buy them. China figured that out.

Make it affordable and I’ll buy one tomorrow.

Let’s talk VW specific. I would absolutely love an ID.Buzz. But you made the fucking thing SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Without a doubt! LLMs are a fantastic tool. But they’re just a tool! They makes some tasks easier.

They’re not the mark of the beast.

They’re not Skynet.

They’re not even “artificial intelligence”. That’s all marketing.

Once this bubble bursts, humanity will be left with some great tools to move forward with.

Wow! Bro got branded? He’s gonna feel that in the morning. I’ll bet now after getting absolutely branded he’ll not be such a shitty person.

There is no etiquette. That’s a flawed argument.

The seats are designed the way they are by the airlines. They allow the minimum amount of space for the maximum amount of money.

The airlines could make all seats non-reclining with very little effort. But they would lose money because non-reclining seats would be a dealbreaker to a small but not insignificant number of customers…me for one.

The airlines could also make seats more comfortable and reclinable by allowing more space for each seat. But they would lose money because they would sell less seats.

The seats recline the small amount they do because of the natural equilibrium that the market allows between comfort and profit. End of story.

You peasants arguing about which other peasant is a terrible person are blaming the wrong people.

I’ve tried it. The ketchup flavor gets concentrated. It’s actually a neat idea and not an abomination against nature like a lot of the comments here. There are plenty of recipes online if you want to make your own at home.

The abomination is how Hellman’s had to dumb it down and call it “ketchup slices”.

This confirms that they know. They know where the timeline split.

This is ketchup leather. It’s not a new idea; it’s been around since fancy burger places with wood walls and exposed edison light bulbs started to be a thing in the early 2010s.

It’s just dehydrated ketchup. It makes ketchup more of a topping than a condiment and helps prevent the problem of everything squirting out of the other side of the bun when you take a bite.

That’s the rub. They don’t even say “we are cutting workforce to invest in AI”, they say “we are cutting workforce because we’ve already replaced people with AI”, which they have not. They’re just such hype driven buffoons that they actually believe that LLMs are going to easily replace the people they just cut in their hubris.

Saying they’ve cut people to invest in AI is actually a little more honest because it admits that they haven’t actually already succeeded.

Jesus Christ.

There’s a difference between possible and probable. This headline is extremely misleading. It might as well say Clarence Thomas could have monkeys fly out of his butt on Monday.

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it probable? No.

I understand this is “a call to action” but the headline is disingenuous.

I mean I used to regularly have a Cuba Libre made with Caffeine Free Coke Zero. I’d definitely say it has a use; rum and Coke with lime after a nice dinner is fucking delicious, and the zero caffeine doesn’t keep me awake at night.

I haven’t seen Caffeine Free Coke Zero in any of my local stores for years so I’ll be on the lookout for this new “zero caffeine, zero sugar” version.

They’re facing new criticism? Got damn! Finally some real consequences!

Oh my God! They called him a traitor? That must have serious implications…right?

What of you’re in IT and are ready to leave but don’t like gardening or woodworking?

I still like electricity. Maybe I can be a part time electrician.

Faith No More’s cover of War Pigs is so much better than the original Black Sabbath version.

Marketing BS. The bad part is all the C-Suites falling for it.

I agree. The word “literally” was literally perfect. It was a binary descriptor. Other people’s poor vocabulary ruined it, not the people who used it correctly.
