Yes it may be an overstatement that Merc and BMW would rule the market if they started making appealing EVs, thats not what you were criticizing about the comment though. What you said was along the lines of ‘why would people not buy cars they dont find appealing’ and that just doesnt make sense.

Why would I reply to this comment under a different comment?

HeartGold is retro? Fuck Im old

Nothing to do with bragging or impressing people. Most people have their own tastes, just because for some reason you have no understanding of the concept of beauty doesnt make the rest of the world weird.

Noone said you cant have an ugly efficient car if you want. But theres absolutely no reason to shit on people for wanting their own possessions to be nice. Sure its better to not buy a car at all, but if you need one you should be allowed to get one that you like.

Why do we like eating nicely prepared food instead of a ground up paste? Its just nutrients, right?

Why do we wear nice clothes? Theyre just for enduring heat and cold, so black robes for everyone should do, right?

Thats what they were getting at

Interesting, please tell me how ‘parroting back a convincing puree of the model it was trained on’ is in any way different from what humans are doing.

Could you elaborate what you are analysing here? If I dont misinterpret the model, the option where you dont double the victims minimizes deaths every time.

Those swearing they will protect the law (or any thing else) are usually not the ones actually doing it
