Of course you as a person don't use a vast amount of energy, but in aggregate all AI usage does. You have to look at the impact at the macro scale; talking about per-person usage in this instance is absurd.
Oh for sure, anyone with half a brain could tell how things were going to go. Mine was a somewhat tongue in cheek comment referring to a common refrain all the AI boosters used to say before reality set in.
The 240 is built like a brick (both in terms of strength and looks). My dad had one when I was much younger, then he sold it for a 740. A few months after the sales, police knocked on his door and asked him a lot of questions. It turned out the purchaser had used the car in a ram-raid on a shop.
I would be very surprised if it was that simple - systems in modern cars are so interlinked that I would expect that pulling a fuse would cause something else to break, resulting in dash lights or broken functionality.
It's not even the AI prose which is the problem (although I detest it too); it's the lack of respect for the reader. I've started employing 'AI;DR' - if someone wants my (limited) time then they should earn it by writing themselves.
Anyone who gives an LLM unfettered access to their ssh keys/agent socket deserves what they get IMO. I sandbox Claude with my own bubblewrap-based script which denies it access to anything I deem unnecessary.
Some of the prices are crazy too. I wanted 4 tenting legs for my keyboard, found some on Etsy for £100 total (no joke). 4 of the exact same item from AliExpress cost me about £4 including shipping.
Agreed, the whole tool is vibe-coded out the wazoo and I do not trust it in the slightest. I run a bubblewrap script which vastly limits what Claude has access to. Sometimes this makes things difficult but the trade-off is worth it to me.
I had never heard of Western Sahara, nor did I know about Morocco's involvement even though I've visited Morocco several times. So I found this very interesting and I learnt something new. Seems to fit here quite well to me.
Which is exactly why alll my cameras live in their own VLAN with no internet access, regardless of how trustworthy the company may be. Better safe than sorry and all that.
Oh for sure, but you can do a lot of things without ever touching the advanced coding section. It's definitely worth being cautious though - as you say you can definitely brick your car with it if you're just YOLOing your way through it. It does back up the module configuration prior to writing the update though so you do have a safety net.
