    “one fraudulent company from India”. Which part of this being Amazon’s walk out technology makes it not big tech, or a “weak ai story”?

    AI is turning out to be a lot less promising than we thought, unless new breakthroughs are made the models are plateauing or even getting worse, at least relative to the amount of energy they consume… And companies like openai are in rush to sell you the idea for trillions of dollars before everyone realises the limits. Same as amazon trying to sell us Ai powered shopping.

    So I just bought a 2011. Standard transmission, 160k km, no monthly payments. Even with the worse possible maintenance/repair and the high prices for gas, I easily saved 25k. I could change the entire engine 5 times and it would still be cheaper than one major repair on new cars.
