It’s Nissans in general! I swear they must be one of the highest hp/dollar cars on the road or something for economy cars, and everyone drives them like they stole them!

I actually agree with him, and I am not an employee of the gaming industry. In the mid 90s N64 carts were freaking $79.99 at one point early on! I realize part of this is because the carts were expensive, but even CD based games were not THAT far behind at $49.99 or $59.99 as I recall. I realize they don’t have the same physical distribution costs, but game prices really have not kept up with inflation. Growing up it was a big freaking deal to get a new NES game you damn well better learn to love it, like it or not haha. Now… games are generally much more affordable for the average family, plus if you just wait a bit and don’t buy on release (barring Nintendo 1st party titles) they are way cheaper!

No doubt that is a large part of it!

I do my best to conserve, I have a 10 year old car I keep up and try not to purchase frivolous items, but everything is from hygiene products to food comes in single use plastics…

Look, any progress being made about environmental awareness is great, HOWEVER; this bullshit concept of offloading the responsibility of climate change strictly to the consumer is never going to fix the problem.

The people responsible for the largest amount of climate change are the insatiably wealthy that give absolutely no fucks about how much their mega corp ruins the planet.

I don’t know how the rest of the world feels, but here in the U.S., it’s basically impossible to buy anything that doesn’t come packaged in single use plastics, and half our population has been brainwashed to believe climate change is not even a concerning issue.

The companies that profit from blowing everything up should be responsible for cleaning everything up. I do my best to reduce, reuse and recycle, but my city doesn’t even recycle plastic bags because it clogs the machines, and everything comes in damn plastic bags. Putting solar on your house now comes with a high possibility of having your insurance policy canceled, etc, it’s literally one barrier after another, and my carbon footprint is pretty damn low.

Sorry for my rant, it is just very frustrating.

It’s abysmal at this point… Whatever they did to it, the results are now awful and far more inaccurate than they were a few months back.

I don’t know where you got that info from but that is certainly not the norm… There are Tesla cabs in Vegas with over a million miles, and most of these battery packs retain close to 90% of their capacity even after 10 years. I’m sure there are exceptions, but 3 years is silly.

Yes there are problems and hurdles to overcome but I’d rank that pretty low.

My experience mirrors this, though I don’t use it for much beyond a specific use case… I’m wondering why they neutered it so much?

It’s awesome right?? Really impressed with the tool!

GPT has been utter garbage lately. I feel as though it’s somehow become worse. I use it as a search engine alternative and it has RARELY been correct lately. I will respond to it, telling it that it is incorrect, and it will keep generating even more inaccurate answers… It’s to the point where it almost becomes entirely useless, where sometimes it used to find some of the correct information.

I don’t know what they did in 4.0 or whatever it is, but it’s just plain bad.

This is one of the best tools I’ve used, works really well!

There were many factors that changed people’s opinions of him, and for me it has absolutely nothing to do with “the media.”

Remember when he randomly called a guy a pedophile on Twitter who saved the kids in the cave rescue, all because they didn’t use his submarine idea?

That was the turning point for me 5 years ago, and he’s gone downhill ever since. The reason he was the golden child of tech for many left leaning individuals is because he was pushing forward electric vehicles in a manner no one else had the will to.

He also happens to be a piece of shit as a human being… Nothing to do with “the media.”

That is crazy!

How much VC is really being invested at the moment? I know a variety of people at start ups and the money is very tight at the moment given the current interest rate environment.

And here I am… I’ve never even tried it.
