    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Well, to be honest, I do value @ReluctantTraveler and his contributions here. I'm as likely as not to agree with him. So, if there are any perceived hostilities, I retract mine as they are not intended.

    Ramcharger specs are out

    I'm at a loss as to why Ford, Chevy, and Dodge don't ever seem to want to go back to platforms like this

    Ramcharger specs are out

    ^^^ was hoping for something like that, but updated and some sort of electric hybrid or something

    Ramcharger specs are out

    By the way, is this going to be an SUV like the circa 1980 Ram Charger, or is this another repurposed name, though fitting for an electric or hybrid?

    Ramcharger specs are out

    Not really. Payload and towing specs seem more 2500...3/4 ton

    And I dont care what your degree is in, or what you've done. Show me one place and time where the general population wasn't trying to get widget A for less money, or the person who makes widget A want trying ti make a better margin on it when the times got rough. Egyptian pharaoh was once...

    "You can always tell a Harvard man...but you can't tell him much." Maybe your degree isnt from Harvard but the quote seems to apply

    And how do you know I dont have a degree in anthropology and graduated higher in my class than you? Presuming you know more than others, that's overconfidence. I can see right up your nose with that statement. And you still didnt disprove my statement. Goat milk in the Himalayas at 10 cents...

    Please understand that I say this affectionately, but...are you on crack? (That's for comedic shock value only. No real offense. But yeah, you ARE that guy. This has nothing to do with colonialism. At ANY time in history, if someone made a good product, and someone else at, say, the...

    I'm a Sys Admin who has not always been in IT... I cant believe the number of times we sit at the conference table trying to mindfvk our way to a technical solution, when all we have to do is flick a switch

    .yeah. I'm friends with someone whose spouse is a mechanic for Boston Dynamics. I said he's gonna be our undoing years ago. Add AI and the vast compendium of knowledge of the GoogiWiki, and the best we can hope for is that these things need Windows Updates and get hung up on KB12345678 or we...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Yeah, but, see...that's how its ALWAYS been. In Europe, Asia, Africa. Everywhere since the dawn of time. People want things built faster, better, and less expensive or some combination. It's not an American perspective. I make x and it cost me 12 dollars to make it. I sell it for 25...

    Text? That was a veritable dissertation all about the wonders of AI. AI is currently expensive. Certainly AI on a big manufacturing scale. Robots are expensive, certainly robots on a big manufacturing scale. Most of what you are talking about might fit big manufacturing in years to come but...

    Perfect. As a Union Steward I was going to chime in at the "reskill" and "we all found jobs" throw away statements. But you got it. Morgan even hired Pinkerton to shoot down his own employees. Correction. Carnegie

    Perfect. Knowing a Union Steward, I was going to chime in at the "reskill" and "we all found jobs" throw away statements. But you got it. Carnegie even hired Pinkerton to shoot down his own employees (Homestead strike) and the anthracite strike 10 years later and many struggles between and since

    Even if I agree with this exposition of an article you've written, this thread is about Earthcruiser, not an AI agenda. This belongs in "AI Weekly Magazine" or something

    Lowering operations and materials costs without sacrificing quality is just sound business practice. NE us manufacturing has moved to the US south before moving offshore. As much as we all like to be at that hipster fancy charcuterie, we want to pay pork chop prices. Nobody is being exploited...
