There are 4 models of minivan being sold currently. Anyone trying to fit 3 car seats or 7 people into a vehicle and looking for a new car pretty much gets those 4 options and that’s it.

Generally you’re right but Logic 101 and Obi wan Kenobi should’ve taught us by now that absolute statements like yours are bogus.

You’re 100% right, both of these technologies are absolutely stained by the people pushing them for their own benefit. I think they could be extremely useful technologies and I’m hoping this era of overhype doesn’t push the timeframe of that usefulness back because a bunch of billionaires were trying to buy their 4th yacht.

I’m just really tired of the parroted and reactionary “blockchain/AI bad” comments because they often have no nuance. It’s not the implementation that’s “bad”, it’s seemingly that they used the tech at all.

I mean, yeah.

But also, goddamn, are we not allowed to discuss projects with it with interest because a bunch of other assholes talked about it too much a few years back? (btw I fully expect to be having this exact conversation about genAI in about a decade)

Because of economies of scale and supply and demand.

Most people don’t want manuals and small trucks originated from Japan before they eventually faded away due to the emissions regulations.

Exactly. Can’t pull blood from a stone.

Luigi had ‘em signing off on thousands of medical procedures they never would have otherwise because they were literally scared for their lives.

I guarantee you any one of the companies involved would’ve immediately traded that guy’s life for 200mil, and technically had been for years.

A dozen or so more incidents like this and maybe they’ll start to ken why things like unions and protestors were ultimately the workers being polite.

In addition to the curtain being torn away “cultural events” like GoT would require people to feel connected and everyone in charge seems to be doing their level best to tear us all apart.

Get the positive reviews out there at one price point and then change it, classic bait and switch.

They should’ve listened when people were on their soap boxes. Seems like someone got tired of seeing this guy ignoring them lol.
