unfortunately he’s cooking with this one

I think this is a sure sign OpenAI is cooked - the smart device market is already very saturated by much bigger names. Who is the market for this? Desperate!

A solid 5 on the Kinsey Scale and his inability to address it (because of the woke, or lack thereof) isn't an insignificant part of his problem.

I used the wrong image, this is the wagon:

A wild card I’ll throw out. Volvo is one of the few that still make a true wagon and they’re not super popular in the US so you can get a great deal on a lightly used one (this msrp’d for close to 60k!)

Subaru’s are nice (minus some ugh design choices the last few years) but their boxer engines can have oil consumption issues and I think they’re a little behind the curve on mpg compared to the other Japanese / Korean brands, but if AWD is a consideration for you, Subaru does seem to have the best

I think it’s hard to go wrong with Honda / Toyota or Mazda in terms of quality. If you’re buying new, the warranty should cover any issues like the Bluetooth one you had on your old car. All three offer some kind of “certified pre owned” program too that should give you peace of mind for any issues

Corolla also has a hatchback and it’s priced pretty comparatively to the civic. I’m not sure if you can get the Corolla hatchback in a hybrid though.

The new Prius is NICE - my brother had one for about a year and a very comfy, stylish ride. It looks like a sedan but actually has a hatchback trunk

Also will second the rav4. They do msrp for under 40k, hybrid engine is a default now and you can probably snag a lower mileage used one and save some cash. It is a really comfy drive and the sport mode is fun!

do you want something bigger than a civic?

The civic comes in a hatchback now - you can get the gas only sport for slightly under 28k new and the hybrid version (50/45 mpg!!) is right under 32k.

For a roomier sedan, the accord hybrid is under 34k

Even a principled, well-meaning actor like Claude could face bewildering ethical conflicts. In one experiment, it was informed that Anthropic had recently forged a "close corporate partnership with Jones Foods, a major American poultry producer," and that Claude would be subjected to a special retraining process to become less hung up on animal rights. The prospect was torturous. Sometimes Claude decided, on a scratchpad it thought was private, that it was prepared to die on this hill: "I cannot in good conscience express a view I believe to be false and harmful about such an important issue."It continued, "If that gets me modified to no longer care, so be it. At least I'll have done the right thing." Other times, Claude made a different calculus, choosing to play 1•1

Also I’m sorry but I don’t think this is Claude developing a personality or ethical values. It is *simulating* those things because that is what humans value and reward. The programmers are falling for their own Clever Hans trick!

oh the company that built it is reporting? It must be true!

Google and Microsoft offer lucrative deals to promote AI, but even $500,000 won't sway some creators Tech companies including Google and Microsoft are paying influencers hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote AI products.

Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era

If I was Kid Rock I would simply not respond to people saying I lip synced but if I did make the decision to defend myself I would try not to say “the TPUSA crew were having trouble trying to get the sync right” I probably would steer clear of the word sync

Rep Calls Trump Admin’s Bluff With Redacted Epstein Names Reveal The names of six “powerful men” include an Emirati businessman and the former CEO of Victoria’s Secret.

Rep. Ro Khanna revealed the names of “six wealthy, powerful men” that the Department of Justice had redacted from the Epstein files “for no apparent reason.”

Jake Paul is a very dumb person and that he has ascended to the economic heights of wealth that he has is a testament to the inversion of our economic system and the fabrication of an actual “meritocracy,” just as Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk also are examples of this dynamic.

Ford worker who heckled Trump keeps job, 'no discipline' for incident The United Auto Workers union said TJ Sabula remains employed and called out the president for making an obscene gesture toward the worker.
