Artificial Intelligence is the pet rock of today... if the pet rock could hallucinate a term paper.

Congress goes after auto makers for handing over all of your data without a subpoena and using slave labor. In a new feature focused on gaslighting we talk about the nonsense from Jeff Farah, shill for the AV industry. Plus some recalls.
