Who needs an assload of beans? I’m going to assume that you’re new to Lemmy and have somehow bypassed the bean verification.

This man hates the Supergirl cups at AMC theaters.

The Plaza is more than a place to crash. There is the Palm Court and a number of bougee things going on there. I would argue that more that half of the folks using those hotel amenities are not staying the night. They’re there for special occasions.

The Plaza isn’t the Hilton Garden Inn. It’s a Fairmont hotel, and people 100% go there just for food, drinks, afternoon tea, the spa, etc.

Also, you need to book reservations for a lot of that stuff well in advance. Those things are frequently booked up and used by a fuck ton of people who are not hotel guests.

Or, different people have different opinions about AI in the workplace.

Not the right kind of wrong for ya?

Didn’t Dbrand recently sue a company about stealing creative they made? Oh how the turn tables.

Don’t forget about execs and board members who think AI is a good ways to squeeze more money out of a company.

If the driver is liable and has to take over when the system fucks up, I don’t know how you can call it “full” self driving.

Definitely a well anticipated problem. Even among people who are bullish for an EV transition.

The argument to move full steam ahead is EVs can get fuel from any electricity source. Fossil fuel or renewable generation. Locally generated or grid-provided. ICE vehicles will always only get fuel from one non-renewable source.

China knows this and that’s why they’re dumping a shit load of money into solar, wind, and high-voltage lines that will move power from those sources into cities.

The old authoritarian playbook. The leader is never wrong. Find a scapegoat at all costs.

As I recall, you can get the OG cab on food trucks, but it’s something that they primarily sell to fleets vehicles. Consumers usually want the extra cab storage.

Off the bat, this thing is basically a dumb phone and it’s going to be very easy for third parties to mess with the platform. My bigger concern with the first launch is quality control. It’s a new vehicle, a new platform, and they’re trying to be extremely cost conscious. I won’t be surprised if there are quality issues with the first production run.

My guess is that, like with Rivian, Bezos is more interested in an EV platform for logistics. These are cheap, they don’t dent, they the don’t have a lot of electronics that can break, they can be easily retrofitted with new logistics platforms if you have an Allen wrench, they’re small enough for urban areas, and you don’t pay for gas.

Bezos is a lot of shitty things, but what made him rich was being a penny pinching logistics geek. This is right up his alley. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap to operate.

The most exhausting thing is that, in a number of technology spaces, there is a new development every 6 months that forces teams to scramble. And very few organizations have found a way to train people about the new advances and how they will impact their jobs.

It’s either changing a core operational workflow, changing whether your customers are staying / migrating to a different product, changing the roadmap, etc.
