I personally take issue with you continuing the in group vs out group mentality. You're continuing the problem by generalizing.
How's your attitude grouping non city folks into one bucket helping anything?
I'd like to be more constructive than my initial reaction, or yours.
We're all people. Not all the people I've met in either area have fit in your boxes of cosmopolitan and non cosmopolitan.
I've known some very racist city people and the same thing from non city people.
To add to this, Kia (and Hyundai) were previously vulnerable to the USB cable hack - people could tear down the steering column and use a charger cable to start the car and drive away.
Might have missed, the news keeps it minimal, in the US. There is one more CEO to add to the Luigi list. Also a politician was covered in gasoline recently. A while back somebody decided that they were going to shoot up an ice institution too.
I'm not saying they're doing the right thing, only that they're doing something.
You need to understand what it's doing to keep it on track or a lot of time to head down all of its dead ends.
You need to understand your intent and project in order to recognize that it's hallucinating.
When it magically decides variables or other factors need new unused names while mid way through any project, you have to watch out for that- you have to be able to audit everything it does and constantly restate the whole project in chunks.
We saw the one off example of a coder beating an LLM at code production recently.
I don't expect LLM coding or reasoning to be good for a while.
Not sure where you feel like this timeline could be a dream because you're getting a micro center with everything else that's happening.
Good for you.
