With no embedded modem, the Slate Truck is the antithesis of today's connected cars.

If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn’t have any major flaws, I’m gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

    Making it easy to find is not copyleft. And copyleft is a concept that doesn’t exist in the concept of copyright.

    Making something copyleft means I and you would have permission to make copies of the designs and the manual and make changes to them and sell a product based off of those designs. And that I would also require the same from my designs.

    It’s a license that encourages collaboration (I take someone else’s work rather than reinvent the wheel, and if I improve it I share that improved design back with the world and let them do the same) rather than competition (where the original designer would sue me for using or improving their design)

      Automobiles is one of those area I feel like Chipotle copy left does not work in practice. It’s a two ton death machine, so we really want contributions by Claude?

        Copyleft licenses wave warranties.

        And there’s loads of open source projects that don’t allow AI contributions. Just because someone writes a shitty PR doesn’t mean it will be merged.
