If they could get "Hey Siri, play 'Song Title' by 'Band Name'" to open the Music app and play the song I ask for, that's the extent that I give a damn about AI being introduced to iOS.
I'm not confident that any of us will ever see lower prices due to green energy. Why would the power company who currently makes $XX billions of dollars per year ever provide that same service for $(XX-YY) billions of dollars per year when they could pocket the cost savings themselves and pump up their stock value?
Aside from privately owned solar/wind/battery on your own home, there's no evidence that I've seen anyway that indicates when utilities move to more green energy generation that those savings get passed on to customers. Perhaps, there are examples out there somewhere.
I'm guessing there's a sizable portion of the HN crowd that are millenials. Millenials who have paid the costs of the Boomer/GenX generations absolute destruction of the "American Dream" for their own benefit. They climbed the ladder and pulled it up behind them leaving millenials holding the bag.
That same set of millenials are now visiting that treatment upon Gen Z. We are building AI that will eviscerate the remaining middle class, raise electricity rates to a level where many people will not be able to power their homes, and poisoning the air and water so that portions of the world will become unliveable.
Gen Z is justified in being upset with millenials. We used to be the victims, but we've become the abusers.
I mean…FAFO? He’s an egomaniac pushing a technology that is objectively negative for anyone not already a billionaire. I have no issue with more Molotov cocktails being chucked at his house, or OpenAI offices, or data centers around the world.
Sam Altman being removed from the equation would make the world an objectively better place.

Yeah, but does it have CarPlay yet? It's a complete deal breaker despite Rivian being essentially the only company who offers a BEV pickup truck of a reasonable size.
I don't think it is accurate for the opposite reason. If my wife and I made what the "living wage" was for two working adults, we'd be living with her parents. It is laughably low for the cost of living in this area.
4. Designating the original or traditional form of something that has a digital or computer-mediated counterpart.
5. colloquial (chiefly humorous). Esp. of a person: unaware of or unaffected by computer technology or digital communications; outdated, old-fashioned.
In a perfect world, AI would be used to reduce the amount of work humans must do, to free up their time to make more art. Not used to replace human expression with soulless slop generated from art stolen from other artists.
That's why there's less backlash against AI that writes code and more backlash when the video game industry uses it for creative assets.
“Whoops! We forgot to disclose that we ripped off thousands of other artists when we made our game. But don’t worry, it was only for placeholder stuff!”
You have not made that argument or given any details on why you think that might be the case. I know a lot of people interested in an EV pickup, but who aren't going to spend Rivian money on a vehicle. There are zero options for a $40k EV pickup truck. It's literally never been offered to any buyer in this country. So, we're both arguing with anecdata, but I'd argue for trying it before we say it can't work.
Ok, well Texas ain't the entire country. The vast majority of the population of this country do not live in the rural Midwest. As of the 2020 census, 80% of the population live in areas considered "urban" and 20% live in areas considered "rural". I'd also hazard a guess that most people who drive trucks, are not people who buy them because they need truck "utility". They drive them because twice a year they need to carry a load of garden dirt and maybe on the weekends they carry tools to their buddy's house. If putting a lot of miles on your truck is what you need it to do, the hybrid Maverick gets ~35-40 mpg, 3-4x what any full sized pickup will get.
> EV in fullsize truck doesn't work that well
Yes, you are making my argument for me. Fullsize EV pickup trucks don't work well, so Ford should stop making them...
If you were gunshy about trying out VR. You'd never even worn a pair before and you wanted to give it a shot. Would you be more willing to spend $300 on a Quest or would you rather spend $3500 on an Apple Vision Pro? Now let's pretend we're in an alternate timeline and the $300 Quest never existed. The only option available to you was the $3500 option. Are you still interested in trying out VR?
MSRP might not be the only factor, but it's pretty damn important. Not a lot of people can "risk" $85,000.
