By making cars immensely more complex, staggeringly more costly, unrepairable and essentially short-term disposable, they remove users' ability to repair or maintain, outside of a circle of proprietary stealerships.
Reducing their life cycles and increasing costs, means you pay more, they last less, maintaining is more expensive, technically beyond average user's capacity, and only feasible within manufacturer's proprietary networks.

The marketing versus the reality.
I listened to a podcast interview with #PeterThiel on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7YgnPUxcU "#AI, #Mars and #Immortality: Are We Dreaming Big Enough? | Interesting Times with #RossDouthat"
I never listened to #Thiel directly before. However, after this weird hour of thoughts, I doubt that he has a clue what the basic #philosophy of the #Catholic Church actually is (e.g., redemption by others vs. oneself).
It seems to be the case that he's just a weird person who happen to take away over 15,850 average lifetime salaries(!) from our society to invest in very problematic stuff where a few #Billionaires profit from and certainly not the society or human race.
Derived from that, you could argue, that he is a candidate for an #AntiChrist, not some (also problematic) girl who wants to save the planet.

The UK government is sounding more and more like “oh won’t SOMEONE think of the children” and it’s making me very suspicious.
A limit on “screen time” is like a limit on “telephone”. There is nothing inherently wrong with using a communication medium that has a screen. Kids are communicating with their real-life friends online. It’s the predatory companies who addict them and feed them endless hours of “engagement” material that should be curtailed, not their users.
Completely misguided.

“Two-hour screen time limit and curfews for children being considered by government”
Their products kill people, but they've got high on their own supply now and I'm looking at my field of fucks, and it lies barren my friends...barren....
I am going to re-define "efficiency" as performing late abortion of techbros.
Something around 120th trimester limit, or the like. Flexible on that, and methods, too.
Weren't UKGOV hollering about their new deal with OpenAI yesterday?
Why must Labour be so shit?
Any Yank twat from Silicon Valley comes along and they all lose it like a teenager meeting their favourite Pop Star.
"Please sirs, your money, I'd like some it ....I'm a politician, please sirs!"
"UK Government signs deal with OpenAI!"
