I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind, I’m just putting forward my observations, it’s clear you have your own views and that’s fine.

Let’s just agree to disagree then.

There is so much vested interest though, capitalism has already been past the point of failure, and then measures were introduced to prolong it’s life, easy credit, moving away from the gold standard, others to numerous to mention, moving us from a monetary system based on tangeable wealth/assets to our current situation where it all hangs on hype and speculation. But again supply and demand only works if there’s demand, if nobody has any money then demand drys up.

Again he’s not pointing the finger, he’s merely saying it’s working as designed, either way AI is one of the current hypes propping up the system so he’s unlikely to point the finger there too.

He isn’t quoted as saying that he thinks this is terrible though. To me it reads as “that’s how capitalism works” in the same way the industrial revolution rewrote the rule book etc. There will need to be a market adjustment people will lose their jobs but the system will survive. Whereas I think it’ll be such a seismic shift in a short time the whole thing will cease to function.

He doesn’t say it’s a problem, just that that’s how it works. My prediction is it will collapse under its own weight.

How? If everyone loses their jobs nobody has any spare income. Therefore nobody buys anything they don’t need and cut back what they do need to the bone. Share price tanks because everyone stopped buying stuff. Capitalism collapses. The whole thing only works when there’s a customer, credit has been filling the income gap for years but if there’s no hope of repayment then nobody will get credit. I just hope it takes the tech giants long that I and the people I care about don’t have to deal with the fallout.

Netgear DM200? Supports openwrt to if you really want. You’ll have to buy used now though.

Some way to flag a car to “move on” might be good if it’s the parking spot in front of your house, it could influence the algorithm by making that spot less desirable compared to other locations when the parking decision is made, maybe this demotion would only last a few days/weeks.

Are they good at avoiding parking in places that would block driveways and things? Would a way to submit more detailed mapping data to help avoid access problems?

Are the cameras always needed to be on? I think it should be safe enough to turn them off once parked? Maybe firing them up again if movement is detected in a few metre radius (collision and vandalism protection) I assume they have mmwave motion detection type sensors. I know this type of tech is a privacy nightmare but I do feel corporate laziness (amongst other things) makes it worse.
