And no, no one really uses this or an ICE truck in a way that would require them to have one. Even people who haul shit in the back would usually do with a more sensible roofed vehicle, but that would be less “cool”.

Wait, no one has a legitimate use case for a truck? Like transporting building materials and tools? Large furniture and appliances? People who live along an unpaved mountain road, or work somewhere similarly remote, like forestry? Towing fifth-wheel trailers? When it snows here, I’m stuck at home until someone with a truck comes by to plow… They have large dedicated snowplows for the highways and stuff, but for out-of-the-way residential streets, the city contracts private pickup truck owners with their own plows. I’m glad they’re around.

Like don’t get me wrong-- The majority of truck owners pretty much never do these things, and it’s an extremely wasteful vanity display for them. That’s bad. Most people who buy Cybertrucks will not be doing truck stuff with them. That’s bad too.

But I think some people have a good reason to own a truck.

My comment isn’t anti-corporate or anti-work though…? It just isn’t that strange that Google is more efficient at generating revenue (as dollars-per-kWh) than Finland is.

If your efficiency function is centered around revenue, then yeah, of course… No surprise that one of the world’s most successful for-profit companies generates more profit per watt-hour than a nation, which encompasses all sorts of non-revenue-generating activity like running hospitals and keeping street lights on.

“Completely new”

Okay, then don’t train it on anything at all and let’s see how it turns out.

“Solving the crisis … requires the private and non-profit sectors to join forces with the public authorities at all levels of government.”

So as long as everybody coordinates toward the same common goal, we should be okay.

…Welp, we had a good run.
