Are we as a society have become that gullible? Seems more like someone's trying to find a somewhat credible excuse to launder the stolen goods.

You're buying into too much market fuzz too. That internet thing going big never happened and cell phones turned out to be bust, all that hype for nothing..... See how cherry picking works.
Also, EVs are a bust, wut?
Not saying they are a bust, either of them. Just to scale down expectations because AI, even the generative type won't be coming up with novel solutions.
EV aren't a bust either, but case in point... manufacturers are already anouncing scale downs because expectations were too high. Combustion will stay around for quite a bit given the battery production constraints.

What makes you so sure that problem solving and invention aren’t just engineering challenges that we can solve by combining LLMs with well designed algorithms? The way I see it, we’ve just discovered something fundamental like steam power or electricity and we’re currently in the very inefficient stage of brute force solutions like mine pumps driven by condensing engines that needed tonnes of cheap readily available coal and arc lamps running off an entire room full of galvanic piles. In other words, we’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks; but stick it will and then we’ll quickly be on to locomotives and lightbulbs.
You guys buy too much into the marketable fuzz. In the last 15 years we've had multiple other technologies that were supposed to change the way we live (3D printing, Crypto, VR, EV, self-driving, now AI).
It's just the VC scheme: Over-promise/under-deliver = Profit
AI is and will continue to be a search on steroids.

Ah yes, great automation comes by defining more manual rules.
Without a doubt, Expo is one of the worst tools I have ever used.
1. I can't get a debug build of the app without using their cloud services.
2. Latest version of Android app to preview Expo apps did not work with latest stable Expo version.
3. Random build errors all the time due to some features being deprecated without being mentioned anywhere.
4. Tries to do too much and breaks quite often

This is the impression I've gotten recently testing their waters. Overall, my take has been to stay away from it unless the app I'm making is simple enough they have templates floating around the web and won't need further tweaking: similar to wordpress, great to have a certain type of app up and running fast but the minute you have to do extensive work on it, you'll wish death on it.

Are you sure you are not stuck at their "easy setup wizards"? To me it seems unlikely that there won't be a webUI access. Which models specifically are you using?
Very convenient to force biometrics tied to user profiles... when you have centralized control of the system and delve in occasional data collection.
how did ftx successfully raise so much vc money recently? do these top vc firms do no due diligence?
My superficial theory is that they probably invested for inside information, then somehow shorted them on their downfall.
Can you share more about this? I have a APC Back UPS PRO USV 1500VA (BR1500G-GR) and it would be nice to know if this is possible with that one as well.
