      Really wish people realized this 20 years ago when we actually had a chance to stop it.

      Everyone sounding the alarms over the past two decades ago were ridiculed. Arguments seen as over reacting or a “my brand vs your brand” thing (really about the infrastructure and consumer rights).

      That’s why people are going to jailbreak their cars. That’s why people are going to modify everything they own. That’s why brands will go bankrupt.

        Some people certainly will, but I think the vast majority will simply accept it because at least they’re still getting their treats, even if they don’t actually own them anymore.

          well they will own them the thing is they have make the subscription be the other half of the figure of the car paid off over time and essentially locking a customer into a contract where they’re not able to sell their car for a duration and by then the car depreciates because then the next owner will need to go through some kind of complicated customer service process to legally transfer the ownership. lol that’s not a bad idea tbh.

          so like you buy a new car at a reduced msrp at like 15k$ but the subscription service locks you in to an annual subscription service fee of like 2k$ for 10 years. That subscription fee unlocks the car as you as the full owner with selling rights and you’re able to unlock certain features every payment. If they did it in a way where that would reduce the APR that would be amazing.

              according to the prompt i made

              LLM chat bots are not oracles of truth.

              You know what the corpus for English language LLMs comes almost entirely from the Five Eyes states of the imperial core, right? The great majority of English text for the last century has been anti-Communist and pro-capitalist. It’s stuffed with right-wing ideology and outright lies to smear socialism. They’re stuffed with the myth of the US as a democracy, which it objectively isn’t.

                Mine is stuffed with the myth that the world we’re living in is a CERN restarted world after the world ended and it’s stuck in a mode trying to prove it. So it’s giving answers based on an alternative time line and the probabilities based on what would’ve happened in the world that didn’t get moved to this universe in 2012/saved after the world ended in 2012.

                I’ve created a fascinating prompt.
