I want a working society. That requires taxes.

Only a brain dead libertarian would be against taxes just because they are are taxes.

lol bill me for something I don’t even want.

Nuclear power plants are much more subsidized than almost anything on the planet.

How many private sector nuclear power plants are there? How profitable are they? What is the cost per watt?

Solar is much more efficient at turning investment per watt than every over form of energy production. It has been so for years.

It’s cognitive dissonance of reality not aligning with the propaganda that indoctrinated them. They will never like it because words like clean, renewable and green are evil incarnate but they cannot give a proper logical explanation.

Rockstar has had some very good writing since GTA4. They don’t have the baggage of customers seeing their quality drop with each new release for 20 years like BioWare did.

It’s almost as if Rockstar and BioWare have been in opposite trajectories for those 20 years.

lol you’re comparing GTA to mass effect. One is a cultural event while the other is having online petitions to have someone, anyone work on it.

When was the last time that Biowate was a market leading developer?

Even with 10,000,000 signatures and 5,000,000 paid pre-orders there’s less than a 5% chance it’ll be good.

Quality art comes from inspiration. You cannot buy inspiration.

You’ll be better off writing a story yourself using Twine or Narrat software that allows you to create branching narratives. I’m sure it is a ton of work to get a full story ready.

You don’t have to. Genres exist for a reason.

Do you also complain about every book genre, movie genre, music genre, etcetera that isn’t your cup of tea?

Can ballistic missiles also find me a good pozole recipe without having to view 100 horrendous difficult to follow websites or even worse apps?

AI is just a tool. A tool is only bad in how it is used.

AI companies like trying to pretend that it’s the solution to everything and that it is true intelligence. It is not.

AI companies absolutely did massive copyright infringement in building their models and the people involved should face the same penalties that a pirate business would.

My issue is that nobody cares about EV supercars because mid-priced EV have supercars acceleration.

EV supercars have to bring something other than a nicer interior. They have to really push for cutting edge tech.

There are no expensive EVs that anyone sees as legendary cars like a Bugatti Veyron. People just see them as expensive EV cars.

That’s why I’m talking about the “high end” EVs. Other than fancy interiors, they don’t do much more than the average mid-priced EV.

Look at how the Porche EVs have dropped in price. That’s some Stellantis level of devaluation.

What I really meant is the total weight of the car.

EVs weight too much for anything other than drag racing. They are way to heavy for turning and even something simple like a speed bump feel like a violent pothole.

We still don’t have an EV that can be as fun to drive as a Miata.

CATL is said to be developing a 12,000 Wh/Kg battery which is about the same as gasoline. That would make a real EV supercar that would rival a Porsche 911 or a Ferrari.

High end electric cars will not matter until battery technology advances to the point where those cars can compete with internal combustion engines on a power to weight ratio.

I would rather have a Windows 11 copy without all the built in spyware and bloat hogging up performance, RAM and storage.

Why kill the ability? I thought Alexa’s AI could have no problem dealing with it.

My guess is that these Chinese manufacturers will kill the old automakers that are in rapid decline after decades of low quality products at high prices.

I don’t know if the Chinese brands have good quality but they’re priced lower than the expensive low quality trash that’s already on the market from all the other automakers.

What else are these data centers going to hoard?

Jobs, GPUs, water, hard drives
