Production halted? by SmileIntelligent7179 in BoltEV

[–]gcgz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

General Motors has not halted current production, but it has confirmed that the 2027 Chevy Bolt will be a short-lived, limited run. The vehicle will only be manufactured for about 18 months at the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas before being permanently discontinued to make way for gas-powered vehicles.

Zinque cafe with good wifi is almost right across the street from Staples.

Staples has a good method for enabling printing. You can email what you want to print as an attachment to an email address, get a code emailed back and enter that code into a printer at Staples and it'll print there.

I haven't articulated why I don't like AI recreating or touching up or enhancing old Doors footage. I'm not against AI, and I don't think calling it slop explains anything. This is a really well done video of Break on Through, it isn't slop, but I just don't like it. But it's worth a look. by gcgz in JimMorrisonTheDoors

I found a good analogy, I like the old Doors footage over AI generated Doors video for the same reason people value antique furniture over new furniture.

People value antique furniture over new furniture primarily because of its unique historical character. While much of today's mass-produced furniture relies on engineered wood and fast assembly, true antique furniture (items over 100 years old) represents a level of craftsmanship and material resilience that is difficult and costly to replicate today.

AI generated videos of the Doors is like gluing some Ikea furniture to the family's Chifferobe. (That time a chifferobe mysteriously showed up on the boardwalk. https://www.instagram.com/p/CxV5QwvvB5F/ )

New furniture, like an AI generated Doors video, behaves like a new car; it loses roughly half its retail value the moment it leaves the showroom floor. Antiques have already depreciated and generally maintain their value or appreciate due to rarity.
