US Car regulations are wild…

SIM card removal, antenna destruction, etc. Will only help us until they play the insurance card. Can’t afford shooting down the road in two tons of steel without insurance.

So you’re going to have towns full of retired old people? Maybe also include their caretakers and maybe service workers supplying everything the caretakers need. Oh, and schools for the caretakers children. And teachers, obviously. And maybe some industry for the caretakers spouses to work at.

Retirees aren’t going to keep towns alive. They’re just usually among the last to leave.

It’s not as easy as absorbing people into rural towns and I suspect you know that.

Thank you very much. My concern is rather in the direction of inserting ads or “promotional information” into the training material, much like SEO plagues search today. If the info is from the web it can still be malicious, even if you run your own LLM.

which previously failed since ads and SoC were the driver of the Web, not information.

Can you elaborate on why you think the ads wouldn’t sneak in again? The semantic web is a fantastic concept, but I don’t immediately see the AI connection. AI doesn’t magically pay for authored content and there is still an incentive to somehow get ads into LLM answers.

Compared to physical encyclopedias that’s still quick.

It’s still vastly superior in usability insignificant ways. Easy reproduction, full text search, physical size, etc.
