Manufacturers and dealers dont tend to make service bulletins and the high level stuff available to the consumer unfortunately.

I want an AI/LLM that has been trained exclusively on the technical documentation and a haynes manual for a make and model of car.

"Hey AI, how do I change the fuel filter and what tools will I need?"

While I agree in principle you will never catch 100% of the bugs pre-launch, has there ever been a game that didnt need at least a few patches in the last 20 years?

Id be keen to read the exact wording of the clause "Dont say anything negative" and "dont say anything negative without talking to us first" are very different statements. I can understand the devs wanting a chance to say "Yep, we know about that and it will be fixed pre-launch" or "Ill put in a ticket to get that looked at ASAP" to the playtesters before they trash the game publicly.

Its also a playtest.

I'll tell anyone who will listen not to buy a car thats been developed on a new platform for at least 3 years to give them time to find faults in the design in real world conditions. If your playtesting or in early access you are literally playing a prototype, a bunch of content creators spouting off about how its a buggy mess could put a stink on the whole project that people will remember even if its perfectly polished by launch.

Yeah pretty much. Most of the office was tracking people down, arranging for payment or setting up payment plans. Most people just want it off their record with minimal hassle.

Theres always 1 super patient and stubborn guy who goes after the bigger debts that want to fight it.

I used to have to work with debt collectors and every office I encountered has a "hard cases" guy.

Yeah, but... the food part.

If you sorted out the methodology one person could staff a changeless truck, you start giving change thats a lot of time.

Its also why I believe most modern governments try REALLY hard not to go to war. Not because of the death and destruction but because they dont want a combat trained populace.

Also because shared adversity unites, the differences between people get really unimportant when they are trying to keep each other alive in combat.

The idea of a significant percentage of "us" coming back and being united and trained well enough to actually threaten the system scares the piss out of them.

The biggest bottleneck on both of them these days is getting the heat away from the cpu and into the cooler fast enough. Unless you're de-lidding your cpu, using a peltier or some other lower than ambient powered cooling theres probably a negligible amount in it.

This is the same sort of shit my 60yo aunt posts on facebook.

This is the kicker. They are a pretty good solution now, but they could be amazing.

At least in my country they need to hammer out a consistent set of rules and laws regarding their use. Last time I checked the vast majority of them are effectively illegal because under current laws they are too powerful to be considered an assisted pushbike, you cant register them as a roadgoing vehicle because they dont have indicators and brake lights and you cant ride them on the footpath because riding on the footpath is against the law.

Which puts them in that lovely legal space of "Does a cop want to fuck with me today?" Fortunately our police tend to be pretty cool on the subject because they know that technically taking it out of your house is illegal which is dumb.
