Wiring harnesses seem like the final boss of manufacturing automation. A lot of times they're still built entirely by hand, and also installed by hand.

Automation is really good at assembly of stiff, solid objects. Anything soft and flexible seems too error prone. See also: the garment industry.

To be fair, can you even "open carry" a firearm anywhere in Europe? Isn't the UK trying to ban pointy kitchen knives[1]?

With the appropriate permit, yes. Which is also the case in Minnesota.

(The permit requirements differ a lot between countries, but that an implementation detail, you should not be killed while respecting the law)


I don't know if it's genius or madness, but all of Tesla's cars look the same. When I see a Tesla, I can't tell if it's a 3, S, X, or Y unless I get close. The most distinct one is the X with its fancy doors.

So when I hear they're cancelling the S and X I can't even picture which cars we're talking about.


In what world is the Cybertruck not "oversized" and "bloated". It has roughly the same footprint as an F150.

it's its own design, doesn't look like a fat truck, more something new and big

Modern F150s are also bloated and oversized.


"The economy" is humans spending money on stuff and services. So if humands always assign intrinsic value to ourselves and our kin...

For economic purposes, "the economy" also includes corporations and governments.

Corporations and governments have counted amongst their property entities that they did not grant equal rights to, sometimes whom they did not even consider to be people. Humans have been treated in the past much as livestock and guide dogs still are.

I think it's academic because I suspect we're much further from AGI than anyone thinks. We're especially far from AGI that can act in physical space without human "robots" to carry out its commands.

That's an interesting formulation. I'd actually be quite worried about a Manna-like world, where we have AGI and most humans don't have any economic value except as its "remote hands".

What a weird complaint given that the post is trying to address the general question, not whether ChatGPT 3.5.0.1 or whatever replaces humans today.

As was the case with Windows 7, I'll move off of Windows 10 when they pry it from my cold, dead hands (or some new hardware is no longer compatible). Each "upgrade" from Microsoft is a regression.

Not sure what you're going on about. I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos. Is that something you watched a lot of as a child?

The thing is, it's not really children who lose access to this sort of content, it's the user who doesn't want to give Reddit or Twitter or whoever else a copy of their driving licence. Without age verification, they don't see the truth of something like Gaza, because it's ages restricted. They can however view the other, sanitised version of the story.

Precisely this. OP could have been more effective in their message by avoiding the sarcasm. The end game is censorship, not protecting children or whatever.

Yes, however the zionist lobies are openly saying that the target for propaganda should be children.

> I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos.

Not watching any genocide videos means not seeing anything related to the genocide either. And that provides the basis for propaganda to make the genocide disappear, or turn it around by inventing realities. That was how the Iraqi WMDs were made happen.

This is happening for no apparent reason, other than Netanyahu personally requesting it at the start of 2025.
