Arrest the Flock CEO and the board. Start holding companies accountable.

> The fact that both of you feel that way makes me concerned about your worldview.

Like I've stated, there are an unusual amount of authoritarian sympathizers in this forum - though it's possible they are bots. When I first heard of the forum and signed up, it was noticeable and I almost did not stick around, but ultimately decided it was better to know what is going on around the world and the posts here are far better quality than somewhere like reddit. Nothing to do with my worldview, just an observation from being around here for 10+ years. It's nothing personal against you.

> I feel they weren't being genuine in their request

Likely not. I've always been surprised by the amount of authoritarian sympathizers here.

Just about every week there’s news of some kind of ecosystem damage by another negligent company that streams into my RSS feed.

Related, but the American gov recently invaded a country to take its oil while simultaneously shutting down funding for green energy projects. Exhausting.

It’s truly exhausting to know the damage we’ve done to the ecosystem and how many bad actors only concerned with profit are out there preventing it from happening again.

> John Deere

One of those companies that clearly deserved it.

Interesting to see people are still having issues with and are hating on Siri after this newest update. So far I have not been having problems and it works better for me than before. I've even found a few new use cases that have worked wonderfully, like creating Reminders lists or calendar events based on what's on the screen. I still treat Siri like it's dumb though, so perhaps that's the difference.

> I cannot think that you have a lot of experience with all social classes if you think this.

Yeah I really can't take this share by OP seriously and can't help but wonder if the post is on some level clickbait. I keep my circle pretty diverse and have had a few jobs where I interact with people outside of my norm... I've met some people that truly lack in areas that are clearly identifiers of "intelligence": critical thinking, problem solving, memory, communication and social skills... Intelligence can be defined as a lot and yet I still have met some people who are clearly an idiot - and I don't really consider myself to be super intelligent either. After getting into the workforce, I would maybe describe myself as above average but that's only because of the people I've met bringing down the average to below my level.

> project that the AI stole

Seems to be the most reliable description of AI projects thus far.

Republicans have campaigned on discrimination, bigotry, sexism, establishing a dictatorship and punishing dissenters for the last 10~ years minimum - definitely longer than that considering the last century. If someone votes for a candidate campaigning on those things the voter is complicit in those things gaining strength. Stop writing off that behavior and hold them accountable for who they are clearly signaling they are.

The comment makes perfect sense, especially given the current political climate of the US and what Republicans are clearly indicating they want... Not sure what you are on about.

Agree. Near the end of the book I was starting to skim pages

The parasitic rich are so out of touch they want to steal religions next. They also could recognize it makes sense strategically to gain the trust of the religious since that group is generally more vulnerable to manipulation.

> the rest of the market wasn't interested enough to pay the price premium.

Would love a Toyota EV but usually for significantly less I can get a Toyota hybrid with more space. Both my partner's and my vehicles are Toyota hybrid crossovers but we looked for an EV first and realized we simply couldn't justify the extreme price difference for how little our cars are driven. Really hoping when our time for a new vehicle comes we can trade in both for one reasonably priced EV crossover - so hopefully the rest of the planet can continue pushing the EV market forward while the US lags way behind.
