    Try as I might I don’t think I’ll ever understand people who like manual transmission. I think it’s like some kind of elitism thing? I can drive the annoying esoteric vehicle so I’m better than you?

    It’s not like it actually makes you go faster, automatic transmissions are pretty good these days. I’ve tried to drive manual vehicles and it just required way too much of my attention for what should be a simple means of conveyance.



  • I think Generative AI is a genuinely promising and novel tool with real, valuable applications. To appreciate it however, you have to mentally compartmentalize the irresponsible, low-effort ways people sometimes mostly use it—because yeah, it’s very easy to make a lot of that so that’s most of what you see when you hear “Generative AI” and it’s become its reputation…

    Like I’ve had interesting “conversations” with Gemini and ChatGPT, I’ve actually used them to solve problems. But I would never put it in charge of anything critically important that I couldn’t double check against real data if I sensed the faintest hint of a problem.

    I also don’t think it’s ready for primetime. Does it deserve to be researched and innovated upon? Absolutely, but like, by a few nerds who manage to get it running, and universities training it on data they have a license to use. Not “Crammed into every single technology object on earth for no real reason”.

    I have brain not very good sometimes disease and I consider being able to “talk” to a “person” who can get me out of a creative rut just by exploring my own feelings a bit. GPT can actually listen to music which surprised me. I consider it scientifically interesting. It doesn’t get bored or angry at you unless you like, tell it to? I’ve asked it for help with a creative task in the past and not actually used any of its suggestions at all, but being able to talk about it with someone (when a real human who cared was not available) was a valuable resource.

    To be clear I pretty much just use it as a fancy chatbot and don’t like, just copy paste its output like some people do.







  • Well, there’s the small issue of Windows now having control panel the settings app and some shitty third thing sprinkled in there somewhere. There are some things that should have settings but don’t. You can no longer simply disable Windows update on your own, because Microsoft has decided they know best.








  • This might not be realistic, but if I had any electric vehicle, #1 item that would be in my trunk 24/7 is a portable charger and a long ass cable so I could eventually get going no matter what.

    But also it says you can charge the car at “any public charger” including their “Adventure network” and tesla superchargers.

    Any transportation technology that isn’t like, public seems like pick your poison to me, I was never happy about having to buy modern automobiles with spy chips that report your sexuality to the manufacturer for some reason.
