No one has any idea how EVs might sell in the US if the auto companies were actually *trying to sell them*, if the car dealers understood them and were *trying to sell them*. Right now you basically have to be an enthusiast doing your own research to get one at all.

If these guys need a safe space to talk about AI and get their dicks sucked over it, they know LinkedIn exists right? It's, at minimum, 37.8% less Nazi than twitter. They can also utilize the block button here? Where it actually fucking works?

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.

Part of a thread from some bluecheck: Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule. I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X." I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie). I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.

Since Pat Burrell is all over the Philly Sports App today, my story is that I saw him play in a Saturday afternoon home game, went home to shower and change, caught a train to Atlantic City, and Pat was already at the bar, by himself, alone save for a light beer, a lit cigarette, and his game face
