some of this shift likely derives from EuroNCAP requiring physical controls to receive top ratings, but the automakers themselves cite safety concerns as a factor as well

I saw a clip of an old sitcom with a canned laugh track. That’s what generative AI feels like. Taking something vital & organic and making it hollow & mechanical. Here’s hoping AI’s fate will be the same as laugh tracks. A mocked relic of a time people accepted soulless absurdity for true emotion

Companies should be required to refund all devices that stop functioning because of on-line service shutdown unless they provide a solution that would let owners keep using devices they own.
And they should also be forced to pay extra e-waste recycling costs for those devices.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
