Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi never made a 7.3 (although some of those Mitsubishi diesels are nice).

The ceo of nvidia (the company that makes all the ai chips and cards) is touting robotic ai slaves as the next step. The company rekindled their commercially failed physics simulation package recently in order to make this happen. They call it digital twinning at the moment but their example application is an ai powered robotic humanoid-ish dishwasher.

It’s worth keeping in mind that from the perspective of economic effects, ai in the workplace is functionally slavery. You command the ai to go do something that is intended for humans to do and only have to pay the barest minimum in order to cover the costs.

This is different from mechanization like the cotton gin or printing press because in order to accommodate those developments, the entire process of growing cotton or outfitting a copy shop had to be changed.

To use nvidias example of a robot dishwasher, the same effect could be achieved (and is achieved in some establishments) with specifically dimensioned plates, a conveyor belt system and some simple industrial automation to load and run the dishwashing machine.

That would be the mechanization equivalent of a cotton gin or printing press.

Spending trillions to develop the technology required to replicate the effect of a person standing in front of a sink scrubbing plates all day is just inventing the mechanical negro.

So, ai is bad.

But you don’t need to worry about it because you can’t do anything about it.

Hello Canadian!

Yes, assuming you are buying a non nfa gun you’re allowed to have from a person instead of a ffl holder you can completely legally buy a gun with no license or background check.

There are many additional jurisdictions that place restrictions on that practice though.

You’re wildly overestimating the volume and enforcement of what can be called consumer protection regulations.

Take canning, for example: there’s no law against advertising some device that can’t reach 15lbs of pressure, the requirement set forth by the fda to prevent botulism, as appropriate for canning even for low acid foods like green beans that are the exact target for botulism.

There’s no law against selling a lithium battery powered device that relies on the controller built into its specific power brick and it’s specifically wired usbc terminated cable for overcharge or overheat safety and reliably catches fire when it’s plugged up to any other power brick/usbc cable combination.

Idk about Canadian canning laws, but I know for a fact that there are no protections about the other example in the great white north because the same design has been all over insurance claims for house fires there too.

The cheapest way to maintain control over the globe via military force is to establish a moon operation that runs at only a slight deficit and hold the specter of lunar regolith asteroid strikes over every person on the planet earth.
