9/10 should have been written in comic sans.

At the bottom of the list was Chinese company BYD, which scored a dire 11/90. German company Mercedes-Benz scored highest with 51/90.

There's a reason those cheap evs everyone is always clamoring over are so cheap.

There's some sampling bias at play because you don't hear about the less flashy examples. I use machine learning for particle physics, but there's no marketing nor outrage about it.

Almost as if it's artificial.

Sure, but people seem to buy into that very buzz wordyness and ignore the usefulness of the technology as a whole because "ai bad."

I'll scratch it or lose it, and if I don't, I'll have a pile of plastic crap I don't want. I'm not really worried about digital media being taken away, and I could find it again if need be.

I mean, I don't want to either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That, and people with coverage are afraid to lose it for something seemingly unknown. The devil you know kind of thing. Not saying that's a reason to keep it, but it's one reason why it's "popular."

Ya, but they were gonna make me buy a subscription for a mouse!

And ponies!

Only thing worse is blinding cynicism.
