It is a thought experiment, not a real scenario

Thanks for the heads up, looks like this is a case of AI;DR (maybe I should get some bumper stickers printed).

I never play then because I have better things to do with my time. Like closing the LinkedIn tab.

I get updates for 10 without having signed into an account (I refuse to).

No, it is sandboxed by Bubblewrap on Linux and Seatbelt on Mac

The 240 is built like a brick (both in terms of strength and looks). My dad had one when I was much younger, then he sold it for a 740. A few months after the sales, police knocked on his door and asked him a lot of questions. It turned out the purchaser had used the car in a ram-raid on a shop.

I would be very surprised if it was that simple - systems in modern cars are so interlinked that I would expect that pulling a fuse would cause something else to break, resulting in dash lights or broken functionality.

It's not even the AI prose which is the problem (although I detest it too); it's the lack of respect for the reader. I've started employing 'AI;DR' - if someone wants my (limited) time then they should earn it by writing themselves.

There's two level crossings alone in my small UK town (~150k people)

Could not agree more on the political side of things. I don't buy Dyson products on principle.

Anyone who gives an LLM unfettered access to their ssh keys/agent socket deserves what they get IMO. I sandbox Claude with my own bubblewrap-based script which denies it access to anything I deem unnecessary.

Quite, it's the volume water and the speed of release which matter, nothing else.

Some of the prices are crazy too. I wanted 4 tenting legs for my keyboard, found some on Etsy for £100 total (no joke). 4 of the exact same item from AliExpress cost me about £4 including shipping.

Agreed, the whole tool is vibe-coded out the wazoo and I do not trust it in the slightest. I run a bubblewrap script which vastly limits what Claude has access to. Sometimes this makes things difficult but the trade-off is worth it to me.

It really depends on what you're looking for, there's a lot of great stuff in my local area, but there's also a lot of shit too

I had never heard of Western Sahara, nor did I know about Morocco's involvement even though I've visited Morocco several times. So I found this very interesting and I learnt something new. Seems to fit here quite well to me.

Single data point; no, I don't. I preferred the pre-AI world. It makes me sad that we'll never see it again.
