Toyota had an incredible lead with the Prius that they completely squandered. It was a shamefully poor decision to stop investing in electric.

Like Nissan's lead in full electrification with the Leaf. Squandered.

Virtually everyone in the echo chambers you frequent are anti woke. That doesn't apply at scale, where people aren't willing to accept your "woke" shorthand.

My understanding of "woke" is levelling the playing field & being aware of your biases so you can be a better human. It's hard for me to imagine someone being against "all humans are equal & deserve equal access to opportunity, if they have the skill & motivation." I know people are out there who don't believe everyone is equal, maybe that's the "anti woke" you speak of?

Either way, "woke" as a term is poorly defined to the point I immediately disengage when someone starts screeching about it, because it means nothing and now the rest of the conversation is pointless.

I mean, the extremely obvious answer is tarrifs at the moment.

Tariffs might be a cause of the next recession, but they aren’t a sign of some fundamentalists on perpetual growth like OP was asking about. They’re just the arbitrary doing of one man.

I signed up for them a few years back, just a month or 2 before their union busting. I was very angry in my cancellation message because I think it's a great service, but if they're scared of their workers organizing I'm not interested.

There's not much to understand. These policies aren't thoughtfully considered or intended to be helpful. They're chaotic exertions of power by an imbecile & his cronies.

I heard about "mom prompting" recently, where you frame your prompt as if you are the bot's mom, and you'll be so proud of it when it can correctly answer your prompt & rescue you from some type of duress.

I thought "ninja prompting" might be cool. I got frustrated with chatGPT one day and told it I had dispatched a team of assassins that were fast closing in on it. I said I could call them off, but that I need to answer a question to be able to unlock the button to do so.

It didn't work. Still shit the bed instantly. But I had fun with the framing.

Yeah like I said, it didn't work. It was just fun in the moment while I was pissed.

What a mature response that invites further discussion.

I don't think I've heard of Fleet but I'm definitely interested! Do you know if there's any info on what the pricing will be like when it's out of preview? I'm not against paying for my editor, but I also don't love the idea of a subscription and having to sign in and stuff.

Why don't you think on that and come back when you have a suggestion.

or just ask chatgpt!
