Nah. I just want to remind everyone your opinion is meritless and your reputation on this board is deserved.

Have a wonderful day

I'm guessing both our reputations are very well deserved, and I suspect there would be different thoughts by different people on whose opinions are more or less meritless.

You have a wonderful day as well.

Just as a point of interest, if this program or AI or whatever is to be as capable as purported, shouldn't it be self correcting? If you feed it all data uncorrected, shouldn't it collate and edit until the most likely and well supported theory or premise becomes evidence gathered from essentially all fields that impinge on the event or action in question?

To some degree, yes. I don't know about fully.

ChatGPT does this already.

Tesla Makes a Desperate Move in Canada As Sales Collapse

Caught between a collapse in sales and punishing tariffs, the automaker is making a dramatic pivot, creating a bizarre pricing situation and leaving recent buyers with a serious case of regret.

Tesla is making a desperate move to stay alive in Canada as its sales suffer from the fallout of Donald Trump’s trade war. In a quiet but shocking update to its website, the electric vehicle maker has drastically lowered the price of its best-selling Model Y SUV by a staggering $20,000.

The move is a direct response to a brutal trade dispute that has crippled Tesla’s Canadian operations. In retaliation for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, Ottawa slapped a 25% surtax on all cars imported from the United States starting on April 9, 2025. Faced with this new cost, Tesla had no choice but to raise the price of a Canadian Model Y to nearly CAD $84,990 (USD $61,500).

The result was catastrophic. According to reports from Electrek, the massive price hike caused demand to completely evaporate, with Tesla’s sales in Canada grinding to a virtual halt in recent months. Tesla, which does not provide sales figures by region and country, saw its overall sales drop by 13.5% in the second quarter compared to a year earlier
 
Bob Geldof ....

"What is profoundly shocking is the cackling glee with which the Trump-Vance-Musk triumvirate went about declaring war on the weakest and most vulnerable people of our planet. America was always the most generous by far of all the countries.

Why would great America do that, while the richest man on the planet cackles that we’re going to feed U.S.A.I.D. into the wood chipper? It is grotesque, it is a disgrace to the country.

Musk said that the great weakness of Western civilization is empathy. You fool. Empathy is the glue of humanity. It is the basis of civilization."

This world has always been structured in tiers, similar to the layer of our atmosphere. MAGA lives in the troposphere. Most liberals live in the stratosphere or mesosphere. Our prophets live in the thermosphere. I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be for those living in the thermosphere to look and comment on what is happening in the troposphere.

I've wondered what would have happened if Elon had just created a relatively normal-looking e-truck with Tesla capabilities. I suspect it would have been a huge hit. I'll never understand why he went the Star Trek route.

if any of the companies could figure out an electric truck that I could put a plow on, they would have a customer in a second.
