EV Sales Show First Signs of Rebound After the $7,500 Tax Credit Ended The end of the $7,500 federal tax credit for new EVs caused a significant purchase rush and the following sales collapse. EV sales are finally rebounding now.

Hyundai even noted a slight increase in EV sales so far this year.

ChatGPT and Claude are not AI. They are probability machines with massive data models.

Artificial Intelligence is what we have for a government.

The New Apple Finally Begins to Emerge It’s official. Apple’s added Steve Lemay and Molly Anderson to their executive leadership page. After much drama following Alan Dye’s departure, the company has decided to not only elevate the two designers but give them the kind of platform that they deserve. They’re now listed right alongside folks like Tim Cook and John Ternus. I think it’s no secret that many of us have come to agree that Apple’s been a bit lost the past few years. Between Vision Pro, Apple Intelligence, tone deaf advertisements, and debates over software quality, there’s been a sense that a change needs to happen. I care about Apple holistically, as a living breathing entity not just their products. So who is running the joint matters to me. It doesn’t feel like a coincidence that the same week we get a radically different kind of Mac, we also see the executive leadership page get a revamp.

I had a ChatGPT account to learn and experiment and what I learned is that they will sign deals to spy on me where Anthropic said no. Claude and I have been good friends this last year and I hope Anthropic at least *tries* to minimize the enshittification. I know they have made bad decisions also.

People with a metric tonne of money should be able to buy themselves fancy cars and houses but not power over others.

The RAM and storage shortage are yet another example of why the highest dollar should not rule the world. It's exactly why we have housing problems. People with money just overpay to corner the market.

When we last moved, we dropped off at a local shredding event and shredded 12 bankers boxes of old files. One of the boxes was marked β€œImportant” and also got shredded. Goodbye birth certificate etc lol.

Colbert usually gets around 2 million viewers but because Trump's FCC banned Talarico's interview the segment has been viewed online over 10.5 million times. Nice work, dipshits

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Federal Vaccine Advisers Take Aim at Covid Shots

Unfortunately, we now receive unreliable information from these vaccine-denying federal committees.

This is exactly why I requested a bill with @oicwa.bsky.social to shift vaccine recommendations to our own Department of Health. I'm looking forward to signing that bipartisan bill.
