I disagree with the bold bit. This has never been a thing people serious about EVs have pushed. This is a thing that folks that hate the idea of EVs have pushed as "if they did this, then I'd suddenly be interested." The companies that have (claimed to) make an attempt at it were always scam artists pandering to that crowd, not the people who like EVs and understand them.

That all said, if there was a major manufacturer of fleet trucks and they designed their vehicles for this and had a division rolling it out, that'd be a different thing. A monoculture of hardware, the ability to track inputs and outputs (the "my brand new battery just got replaced with one that's nearly EoL!") and tooling... along with massive battery packs meant for long hauls... that could potentially make sense. But given drivers have limited road-hours per day by law... I'm skeptical even there.

Debunked.

I don't disagree, at least based on the summary. How is "there's new technology this year and next that is brighter than ever before" somehow either an end of escalating brightness or an inflection point? That's not what either of those mean.

The problem is the content creators are specifically doing it to troll people. They were suspended for doing this, complied for a while, then went back to pretending to be legitimate. If the UK's ASBO (Anti-social behaviour order... look it up, it's an amusing idea) was still a thing, these guys would be prime candidates.

"All you have to do". The moment that phrase comes up, you've given yourself a clue what to investigate.

YouTube doesn't know the content is AI-generated except because these two (2) channels were known for uploading deliberately misleading content. To do what you suggest, they would have to produce and implement AI-detection code, plus pay to run it against every upload. Further, they'd have to analyze the description the uploader picks, to determine if it is misleading or not. They'd have to deal with false positives and false negatives.
Or... they could just ban the two (2) channels that were previously suspended for this dickhead behavior, setting a precedent so future dickheads think twice about being dickheads, and shifting detection to the non-dickhead public.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

1} You are incorrect; the person you are replying to is neither fucking, nor old.
2} You are incorrect; slop has an accepted applicable definition - needing no quotation marks - to the point that it is "word of the year".
3} You are incorrect; there is AI slop around.
4} You are incorrect; the person you are replying to is neither wearing a diaper - adult or otherwise, nor a man.

But most importantly...
5} You are incorrect; getting with the times is not an admirable goal when the times are bad. Which they are, in all ways contextually applicable to this discussion.

Come back when your trolling skills evolve beyond the "call them a poopy-head" level.

I mean... where else could we put all those sociopaths? We've already got enough politicians and lawyers. Stock trading is perhaps the least harmful thing they could be doing.

Sure. But the chemicals he'll "do something" about will be something like... Vitamin C or calcium.

The fewer illnesses he knows exist, the better.

Absolutely.

In English, the average speaking speed is about 145 words per minute.
In English, the average reading speed is about 250 words per minute.

I grant that audio has its place; audio books and podcasts are good for people who are driving, jogging, biking, or otherwise in motion. But... almost every podcast should come with a transcript. If we need or want context, then we can dip into the audio/video. Otherwise, these people are needlessly eating about 30% of our lives.

True, but I figure it'll be built into the next version of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

"The previous management replaced the stairs at the entrance of our building with ramps because ramps allow more people access and are the norm for all new buildings being constructed. Stairs are more professional than ramps so were are tearing out the ramp and putting stairs back in."

Yes. Fucking asshole.

I can understand fiscal conservative viewpoints. What I can't understand is why conservatives in general are (very nearly) all so nasty.

Yup. Meeting emissions goals too hard? Roll them back. Safety regulations hard? Roll them back. Pensions cost too much? Cancel them. Pollution limits too hard? Ignore them. We're in a stage where the only acceptable level of profit is "all of it" and no other consideration is considered.

You may find the LG DualUp interesting. 16:18 ratio, 2560x2880. No bezel, designed to be mounted in portrait aspect.

Russia has more reason to attack it because in doing so, people like you will contemplate it being Ukraine blaming Russia to garner sympathy. Of course, Ukraine has more reason to attack is so people like me will think it's Russia hoping to blame Ukraine for it being Russia false-flagging Ukraine's implication of Russia being to blame while falsely accusing Ukraine.

We can play sixteen-dimensional chess. Or we can boil it all down to one country being instigators and nothing else mattering. The dome is damaged because Russia invaded another country. Period. In my books, even if the leader of Ukraine ordered Ukranian people to damage the dome, the Russians are to blame. There's the border. Get back on your side.

Social media posts? Screw that... how about ransomware attacks?

Unfortunately, no, we can't. Because "we" can't agree on simple stuff like... vaccines that have billions of doses injected, or decades of clinical results published are good. All it takes is one of Russia's peering links to a friendly nation to stay live.

As an aside, what even is "LGBT propaganda"? Is there somewhere that posts are going up saying things like "try being gay... being a target for homophobes while having a dating pool one tenth everyone else's is great!" Or "gender-affirming surgery is painless, cheap, safe, and required by Peter before you can cross the Pearly Gates." So much worrying about what's going on in someone else's pants.
