LLMs progressing rapidly while your views are lagging by years. Current models can present coherent pro and con arguments on most topics and then can evaluate these to provide a reasoned conclusion. They don't do this by default, at least not on free models, but you can and should ask that when you prompting.

Auto industry going crazy for it because they want to harvest your data and show you ads. They also learned from smartphone manufacturers and locked down ecosystem so there is no possibility of you flashing custom ROM or IP blocking ad servers, because "safety". About the only move you still have is to rip out cell modem hardware to air gap the car.

You also have to ask why solutions suggested by "green" are so anti-abundance and anti-humanity. My answer to that is that the system is what the system does - they are anti-abundance and anti-humanity and environmentalism is just a method of achieving these goals. This is easy to demonstrate with an example - just look at anti-nuclear energy view, if they were serious about reducing greenhouse emissions switching to nuclear energy production away from burning fossil fuels makes perfect sense, yet they oppose it. Similarly, purported sustainability position ignores the disaster of wind energy, they are still burying blades while talking about how supposedly green these are. Similar with ethanol in gasoline. Similar with lithium mining. etc. etc.

Because we have to believe there will be a future. And currently our kids are not sure there will be.

There will be a future and alarmists spreading FUD about extinction is the key reason why your kids going to hate you in 50 years when they figure out not much changed, other than some places got slightly hotter and/or wetter.

Submission + - BMW Blames Young People for Loss of Real Buttons in New Cars (caranddriver.com)

In an interview with CarExpert, Vikram Pawah, the CEO of BMW Group Australia, said that young buyers prefer the newer controls. “We can see that voice and touch are becoming more and more common,” Pawah told the outlet. “Maybe it’s a generational thing as well. You would see that a lot of the younger generation, maybe 45 or below, they’re tapped into these technologies at a faster pace, using voice, using touch.”

This would be somewhat believable if this design only affected cars targeted at young buyers. It does not. Many of BMW are targeted at affluent boomers and Gen X due to high price.
