  • Deepfakes being introduced to mainstream would just lead to them proliferating being shared on social media/texts/emails etc… The disclaimers would be cropped out, watermarks would be blurred or removed, and the general public who eats up rage baiting content would be effectively be forcefed even more misinformation in their feeds.

    I’m sure there are good ways to prevent this, but the average user/consumer isn’t going to put much effort into disproving what they are seeing. Esppecially if that content fits their narrative and reinforces their beliefs and tribal alignment.


  • The ID.4 Pro has been great to me. I had still been driving my paid off car from college, so all the newer “smart” features were a bit of a shock. Things like lane assist and sound alerts when backing up I turned off because they were too much/annoying. For instance, the lane assist had a hard time with some curves, or if there was an error in the road paint, or sometimes just hiccuped for no reason. It had trouble with snow on the roads as well.

    I wouldn’t buy one without having the ability to use an at home charger. My commute is about 65 miles a day and I don’t often drive much further than that. I live in a cold state where in the winter it can get well below 0 fahrenheit. Battery is heavily impacted, and I do get more anxious about it general when it is very cold like that.

    I have read some reports that Volkswagen wants to move away from touchscreens and back to analog buttons/knobs so maybe look for that in the future?
