No shit, people want cheap, reliable transport and workers would want to build them, build and work on replacement parts, build batteries, etc. The only people supported by blocking BYD in the US are executives, shareholders, and the politicians they bought.

It’s a sub problem within the field to try to predict good enough values to default to, search terms like optimizing hyperparameter values minimizing a loss function

Why use age instead of a knowledge check instead?

Code written by software doesn’t mean AI unless you ignore compilers

Executives lie to boost profits and justify their decisions, I doubt MS execs even know how much of their code is AI generated just like the ad sales company exec they were talking to in the article
