Yes, the incompetent leadership is hurting this country more than helping and talk about wasting billions on repainting plans into his stupid colors as if it would last and he clearly did not listen to the science that shows his colors cause overheating and issues with the electronics on the plane.

Interesting, I am far more satisfied with my Kia over anything I have seen, experienced with Tesla. I think BMW is nailing it right now especially compared to Mercedes.

Interesting is that Tesla is considered Luxury and yet my EV9 is more expensive than Tesla garbage. I totally agree with the JD Powers EV Ownership Experience.

Hahaha they compared a $1700 two-stage Ego to two cheap, single-stage units. 200lb Ego vs 33lb Greenworks vs 47lb Worx.

Why they wouldn't have at least tried Greenworks two-stage units is just plain stilly. Also, why not against another real unit in one of Toro's $1700 two-stage unit. 

What a crap comparison.

True they could have done better, but then if that is all they are loaned by the companies, who can you blame but the company who loaned a single stage to go up against a dual stage.

Kinda like folks that compare dual pane to triple pane windows and complain about the cost without looking at the full picture.

This comparison had some valid data but agree with you that it could have been a fairer comparison of like units.

Makes one wonder if he clearly stated he wanted all dual stage units or just asked for a snow blower to compare.

Idiot47 continues to prove just how corrupt he is and why he deserves to be in jail!!!

Maybe eventually but certainly not in 18 months. I’m seeing a lot of resistance to AI due to the costs involved. Plus, corporate data is so messy. Feeding messy data to AI is just asking for bad results. It will take years to clean up the data and maybe AI can help with that, but unless you’re starting a company today and building it with AI from the start and actually have AI super experts running things, it’s likely your data is too messy to use in AI right now.

One of my clients is in a conversion away from paper and struggling with it. They’re not going to AI anytime soon. We won’t even be done the paper conversion until early 2028.

I am seeing allot of non mental jobs that can be easily done by an AI bot get done, like you pointed out, the cleaning up and organizing of paperwork just so a company can then make intelligent decisions to move forward but this is over the next 5 to 10 years imho. 

I do not ever plan to retire, but I do see my job evolving and with that what I might have to do in 20 to 30 years will look very different than today. 

Will be interesting to see how or if this comes about.

Actually pretty good. 

Very interesting, watched the first 20 min and jumped through out the rest, but interesting and clearly some viewpoints that can clearly be debated on both sides due to a lack of education imho. Those that believe health or life circumstances changed due to their god is an interesting take same as the crazy statements from some of the atheist. Some are far to much down the rabbit hole that we are still so closely linked to primates. 

One thing that does stand out, there are many people on both sides that have been abused in their past lives and so they found comfort in their own way to survive.

This is one sexy car that I just LOVE!!! We need more luxury 2 door cars like this available for sale. I hope Genesis takes this to production.

I think the worst part of the style is the two huge opening grills in the lower corners of the front. It just looks weird and NOT very Luxury Sexy at all.

Sweet vehicles. 

 

Amazing the pigs some people can be. Funny that a dealership says the vehicle is uncleanable when any vehicle can be cleaned, just takes more work.

Very cool, seems Chinese EVs are here being compared by American companies so that hopefully we do not fall too far behind.

I find it funny that the Mayor and other politicians are begging Canadians to return to Vegas, but Mexico has won out, so I do not see them returning and the amount of visitors to Vegas has dropped to levels from 2000 to 2003. Billions lost and deserved based on the stupidity of the U.S.

OUCH so happy this is blowing up in the idiot administrations face.

Don Lemon’s arrest turned into a MAGA misfire

Oops, welcome to Idiot47 Tariff party GM, want to reduce employees and shifts, then a refund is required to the canadian people.

GM took the money, now Canada wants payback

Personally I think GM is too late to the Hybrid party and rather than spend and write off all the billions of dollars on their EVs that are actually selling well, they should have stayed the course and not followed Stupid Ford and Idiot47.

GM has a 'handful of hybrids' coming - but are they the ones you want?

I do not see GM actually doing well in this space as they are already too far behind.

This is a Good Review of the Chinese EV and why American auto industry is Dead Man Walking. American stupidity just does not understand that competition from others have already surpassed the U.S. and no amount of Taxation on U.S. citizens is going to allow the industry to catch up. Idiot47 has truly screwed this country in going backwards as he criminally abuses the highest office in this country for his own gain.

QUOTE: Chinese EV makers such as Xiaomi, BYD and Geely have earned global accolades because their cars deliver longer battery ranges and deeply integrated digital platforms. We’re talking software that feels smooth like a brand new smartphone, not a screen you have to jab five times to load a map. Plus, they often cost tens of thousands of dollars less than Western competitors. In Europe and Mexico, they’re blowing past Tesla and other EV rivals.

“The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told me in an interview last year. “There’s no real competition from Tesla, GM or Ford with what we’ve seen from China.” Even Farley, after driving a Xiaomi SU7, said he didn’t want to part with it.

I test drove a Chinese EV. Now I don’t want to buy American cars anymore.

WOW, Idiot47 is so terrible.
