  • Brain implants that steal your thought patterns, which then get fed into some artificial intelligence that can create the perfect ad for your to see, which then gets directed straight into your brain with the same implant so you’re pretty much forced to buy it. Maybe they can straight up alter your thoughts directly so you want to buy something, skipping the need for ads.

    Oh wait… I’m probably just describing what Elon is up to in the long run.







  • This is the exact reason I set up my phone to go on ring mode at full blast whenever someone truly important calls me. I know they’d only call me whenever it’s important (because I’ve told them beforehand that this happens, so they text if it’s not important).

    Even when I keep my distance, it’s happened to me plenty of times that I gotta press the brakes after the EV in front of me coasts for a while when I do the same. Non-EV’s don’t have the same issue since they coast down at the same speed as me. Not cool to assume that everyone drives like a Dodge RAM owner.

    For me the worst part about Tesla’s (and other electric cars in general) is when you’re driving behind one and they have the regenerative breaking set to maximum. When they release the gas and start coasting, they decelerate a lot quicker than I do when I start coasting behind them which forces me to brake constantly.


  • While I think a counter per instance would be possible, it would be way too easy to mess around with a “total” karma spread across all instances. All you’d have to do is set up your own instance, and give yourself a lot of karma there.

    I do agree that a karma counter could be a nice indication of someone’s activity, but I wonder if that’s the best metric we could come up with to keep spammers/bots at bay.
