That's better, but you're still just defining things such that you have to be correct.

Humans spend 90% of their time just predicting the next token. All we need is to mix in a little bit more reasoning and bam, AGI!

See how annoying and hollow that rhetorical technique is?

The fact is that we have no idea whatsoever. We might reach AGI next week. We might never reach AGI. The Chinese government might be sitting on AGI right now. We have no idea, and this is completely new territory that has caused us to question our very understanding of intelligence.

The 2025 US GDP was $30 trillion. The US economy is 70% consumer driven. Advertising allows organizations to shave a miniscule slice of that off for themselves, which is still a sizable amount of money.

TIL there were usable tow trucks in GTA:SA.

Ah, yes, the truck with "easily replaceable body panels" meaning that some mischievous teens with a screwdriver can strip your quarter panels while you sleep.

In the 60s, 70s and 80s consumers had the money to mess around with colors on a whim.

Maybe rich people did. This is a really wild take and I don't think it's grounded in reality at all.

Before Chick-fil-A built a restaurant in this area, they had a food truck that passed through every week. It was fantastic. Delicious, hot, efficient, and the employees all seemed pretty happy.

After they built a location here, and after the long lines died down, I tried it. The sandwich was barely warm. I spent the weekend with food poisoning, unable to leave the house because I was pooping constantly.

I tried again at a location in California, on a road trip. I again got a sandwich that felt like it had been sitting out, cooling for a long time. No food poisoning that time, but that's the last time I went. Now I buy a few bottles of their sauce when it's on sale and make my own chicken sandwiches.

Nothing cuts weight like Flight Milk!

Nylock nuts are the way. No thread-locker needed on them.

I always keep some zip-up ties in my riding gear. If I pass a parked bike with a missing license plate bolt, I'll zip-tie it back into place.

Again, back in the Boomer era, the driver's license test required you to stop the vehicle using the emergency brake. It's called an emergency brake because that's the backup in case the hydraulic (or, before that, purely mechanical) braking system failed. Believe it or not, until relatively recently, people did not have complete faith in their automotive braking systems.

Your comment is just another myth that gets propagated among young people on sites like Reddit, like the one about how windshield wipers turn themselves on when they sense a wreck.

So, you made a long series of bad decisions and now you want to place the responsibility on me. That's not how the world works. Do better.

Ah yes, the old "I make decisions that endanger others and justify it by calling responsible people privileged" angle. Always a winner.
