All of that is already in play and more.

They know your income, spending habits, outstanding credit balances, browsing history, etc. They know if you are employed, had a child, had a divorce or death in the family. They know your health and how active you are.

With all that data, AI knows what you are willing to spend on an item or service.

There are HR services that use AI to look at all of this meta data to determine how desperate you are for a job and how low they can offer a salary/wage.

You’re the product.

There are many many reasons cars are not as reliable as they used to be. Complicated electrical systems, engine parts made increasingly of plastic, individual parts that can’t be repaired and require the replacement of an entire component (I.E. Your door handle breaks and the only way to fix it is to replace the entire door panel.).

But the light oil issue is a major one for drive trains. Many engines weren’t originally designed for the ultra lightweight oil and their seals don’t hold up over the long term.

It’s a good thing, ICE technology has been pushed past its practical use. Manufactures were making too many compromises to increase fuel economy the ultra light oil they are using is bad for the engines and is one of the main reasons why new cars today aren’t as reliable as ones from the early 2000’s.

The price of gas will probably drive most people who can over to electric or hybrid. But those engines will probably be more reliable now.

My Apple Maps still says Lake Ontario.

Edit: Nevermind, when you zoom in it changes to Lake America.

I rarely ever use Apple Maps, I guess I’ll be using Wayz and Mapquest from now on.

Ohhh Noos! The branding I choose which no one wanted or ever adopted is tarnished by my own actions from the last two years… Let’s rebrand and hopefully the user base will no longer associate my actions with this service anymore!

I work in a very Right leaning industry. Expressing my beliefs will ruin my career advancement. Instead I just poke little holes in their logic. “Ohh wow yeah increasing Tariffs huh, how will that reduce prices?”, “I thought he was going to keep us out of foreign wars?”, “Geez gas was soo expensive today, what happened to all that oil we got from Venezuela?”, “Wow that deficit is out of control what happened with doge?” Etc. etc.

Once again Tankie you’ve made my case for me, if you’re an unpaid shill you have my sympathy.

No, Tankie is appropriate, you haven’t shown any other traits that deserve a pejorative… But I’m sure you will.

I’m not going to respond with an argument because you’ve laid out your argument and it’s not logical, and it’s not based on reason. One democratic nation founded in the 20th century existing and is ok while another is wrong. Use all the racial or jingoistic justification you want it’s still not logical.

No logic, no reason just one brand of nationalism justified in your mind… And at this point with how fast you respond, I get the feeling you’re probably a paid shill or you have a lot of time on your hands. I post as an unpaid amateur, sorry I just don’t have the time in my day.

Cool story tankie.

What’s being said has no basis in logic or reason.

Debating a fanatic is a waste of time. Nazis, racists and tankies only deserve ridicule and ostracism.

You should get a medal for those mental gymnastics!! 🤸

So your argument is Russia trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is imperialism. But China trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is not…

I’m glad you seem proud of it, the picture you chose of Dukakis is chefs kiss.

I use an app called Privacy. You just connect your bank account to it and then setup any one time or monthly recurring payments.

The bubble is getting ready to pop and big investors want their exit liquidity. If they can’t plunder your 401ks and retirement accounts then they they will take it via taxes and public debt.

As much as I like Bernie I think he is playing right into their hands on this one by suggesting the government take a share in these companies.

Found the Tankie.

I haven’t used CL in years but you brought back all the PTSD I had when using that platform.

FB Marketplace isn’t much better but at least you don’t have to deal with the whole slew of different communication platforms.

I used Craigslist for years to buy furniture, bikes, lawn equipment, tools, etc. until I was catfished 3 times in a row when trying to buy something.

I gave up on it and opened a Facebook account for the first time just to get access to Marketplace. I’ve never had that problem since.

Sorry, but Craigslist’s inability to manage its users killed Craigslist.

Usually it’s because someone needs the line on a chart to go up… no matter what.

American big tech hasn’t had a breakthrough technology equivalent to PCs, Smartphones, internet, etc. in ten years. Their latest forays into smart Watches, Smart glasses, VR that stupid virtual world Meta pushed… none of it has seen real adoption or growth.

They needed AI to be a hit to continue justifying their stock prices. The only way they can justify their stock prices now is if sales for AI become a 2 or trillion dollar industry. The only way you do that is by replacing humans. Human jobs go away and corps pay for AI tokens instead.

But it hasn’t panned out that way and so far and all you have are AI companies passing around the same dollar and booking it as revenue on their P&Ls. That will work for a little while but it isnt a industry.
