    I still have my iMac G3 Bondi Blue in my basement. I had an Intel MacBook but sold it because it only ran up to MacOS 10.7. It worked fine about 10 years ago. Now I doubt it will.

    Yeah, but I made more than 1 plane. You don't want planes that can't fly and crash because they were made sloppily and fast.

    You can ask an AI like GROK for an opinion on something, then disagree with it, and it says you are probably right and tells you what you want to hear. Like a Yes-Man.

    How does RoboTaxi avoid accidents, and what happens when there is an accident? Who gets the blame?
