We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny
  • So these algos they time how long you look at things when scrolling. So to begin, sure there's no user input, but the mere act of looking unless controlled to be exactly the same on everything is in fact input.

    Getting a sexist thing and lingering on it for an extra 5 seconds tells the algo you engaged with the sexist thing so send them more sexist things.

    Edit: it shouldn't be serving it up at all, but that's how this can happen.

  • Halo on Paramount+ has been canceled after only two seasons
  • So, I tried to watch it...

    The non English parts with the aliens wouldn't show the subtitles no matter what I did.

    I wasn't the only one having that trouble

    Wtf am i going to watch something where I can't understand important scenes?

  • What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?
  • Not sure why someone would downvote your opinion and relevant story there...

    It still seems relevant enough though for the time being. Getting the stink eye isn't a no, and maybe you'll have to be a little picky on where.

    Still better than not having it at all though.

  • 32 percent of Americans believe a military regime or authoritarian leader would be a good way of governing the country.
  • You can pretty much ask almost any insane thing and it somehow always comes out to at least 30% of Americans.

    I sometimes wonder if it'd always the same 30% and there just 30% idiots, or if that 30% spans multiple topics and groups of idiots and its actually higher like 60%

  • The US Supreme Court Kneecapped US Cyber Strategy
  • FDA: Your honor, chemical xyz is dangerous and should be added to the list it causes people's teeth to fall out.

    Pharma: is losing all your teeth really all that dangerous? We have implants and dentures.

    Judge with dentures: I live just fine, DRUG APPROVED!

    Edit: oh I forgot the best part given the other rulings.

    Pharma: Hey judge, here's $500,000 we really appreciate the work you do and giving us some tips on how to properly file some paperwork.

  • US automakers ‘headed for obsolescence’ as Chinese EVs grow, analysts say
  • They can't make profitable, affordable EV yet.. They just don't know how to do it.

    People are like oh but the Bolt sold well and was affordable. Sure, at a loss, on a platform not designed to scale up and be profitable at high quantities.

    So yes they're building big EVs so they don't bankrupt themselves and yes that then gives them a self fulfilling prophecy.

    Edit: just to add, they're using the learnings from these bigger, still not profitable EVs to learn how to make profitable EVs.

    This was a really good interview, worth the watch!

    2024 Tesla Model 3 AWD Qualifies for $7500 USD EV Credit again.

    It doesn't say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.

    It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn't qualify and the AWD that does since it's only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we'll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?

    Thoughts on range extenders for commuter cars?

    So both Rivian and Tesla have or say they are going to have range extenders for their trucks, but in both cases even if they are removable and rentable they are huge as trucks are huge. In teslas case it seems to be a permanent change though.

    What about commuter cars though?

    One thing we really need is cheaper in city commuters and those don't need a long range. That brings costs down and gets more people into EVs, but those will get relegated to 2nd cars in many cases.

    If those commuter cars could go to a shop and get an extender added in the trunk though that would make them much more capable of longer trips as well while keeping costs down.

    If the battery rental is similar or less to renting a car for the same period then people would opt to use their own car for the longer trip and all the personal comforts that provides.

    The batteries would be much smaller as well for a smaller vehicle.

    Why dont the financial services join the Tesla strike to end things?

    I've been following the strike and sympathy strike happening against Tesla and the similarities to what happened with Toys R Us, and I'm left wondering why the financial sector in Sweden hasn't stepped in by now?

    This has spread to multiple countries now, so it's not like this is day 1 of the strike.

    Do they consider themselves some sort of thermonuclear option and would rather not get involved unless necessary for some reason?

    If my understanding is right, they're what forced Toys R Us to sign an agreement since they couldn't effectively do anything like payroll anymore?

    It seems like the logical next step to me at this point unless I don't understand something about how the sympathy strikes work there?
