You hit the nail on the head:

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely anti "AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap". If that's what being Anti AI is.....to that I say Amen.

Most cases in consumer ai, it's data harvesting gone haywire and it's not being implemented to benefit society.

From what I see, very few people are stupid enough to blanket hate it, but it is overhyped and being used maliciously.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is imperative that people understand the reality of the energy transition and move away from the spotty doomsday or otherwise reporting on the topic.

Given the list of data which they provide as an alternative, you're not likely being naive.

I rescind my comment post-haste

To note: 100 G << 1 MG Also G cannot be added or removed with a spoon, or did I miss some big leap in physics?

We will never know, it could also be in response to some additional Back-Channel pressure for more post-war concessions (e.g. financial/mineral payment or rights)

Yeah the requirements are for USB-C power delivery for devices capable of charging @ (if I remember correctly) > 15W.

The requirement was placed in the radio equipment directive of the EU so unlikely they will amend it to add requirements for USB-C cabled data transmission.

They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:

• built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
• marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.

It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc...

I also severely disliked it.

Jimijett obvs. What more sauce do you want?!?!?1

While I think your comment is over simplifying the issue, there is strangely little mention that people's animosity toward Musk are responsible for the downturn. Tesla used to be almost the only premium EV available, now there are significant numbers of competitors.

Additionally, there are too many people with similar views to him in Europe to consider it purely a revolt against him
