  • I mean I very much want an electric truck just not for $70,000+, I need a a vehicle that can do the following:

    • Carry a 4 person family
    • Is reliable/newer/won’t break down
    • Can do trips to the hardware store/hold lumber/drywall/etc on occasion
    • Can move furniture/appliances on occasion
    • Can move hay/straw on a semi regular basis
    • Bonus points if I can take off road/on mountain trails

    If there was an affordable electric truck that could do this I would buy it, but I bought my (used) Tacoma for about $25k 4 years ago and I really can’t justify anything more expensive then that.

    So if they can bring electric trucks down in price, I will buy one, and I want it to look like a truck, I would never consider a cyber truck, thats beyond ugly.




  • I’m actually fine with it, in the case of Lemmy this is all public data, whether or not Lemmy admins are training AI on it, there is nothing to stop me from training my own AI models with this data.

    I think the larger issue is I don’t consider it “your data” once you put it on one of these sites. As soon as you take your own thought and put it on facebook/instagram/reddit/whatever, it’s now theirs, it lives in their databases, and frankly for a social media company it’s probably their most valuable asset.

    No one is forcing anyone to use social media, if you want your thoughts and actions to be your own I would recommend not putting them on the internet.
