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?"
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.
Lets be real here, the "Kid" is 17.
Now I dont know what a healthy father/son relationship looks like because I never had one but it seems to me that knowing "Dad likes blondes with big tits" might be slightly less scarring than being left entirely to your own devices with no oversight and going down a rabbit hole of xvideos fetish porn.
Theres 2 kinds of men in the world. Those that have beaten their dick, and fucking liars. Maybe this shit is weird and creepy, and maybe they have had honest and open discussions about sex and he is trying to give his son healthy attitudes towards it.
Ive told my daughter "Always be nice to the quiet ones and the weird ones. Be nice and be friendly, the extroverts of the world will be fine on their own."
Its really creepy and intrusive. But at the same time, I can find really fucked up porn with literally zero effort.
I mean, if your kid has terrabytes of rough incest bdsm porn people will ask why you werent monitoring their internet use, but monitoring them like this feels like a different kind of weird.
Then you look for the other person at the party standing there back to the wall looking like a deer in headlights and make friends or at least form a D&D group.
