The Chevrolet Corvair was a compact car produced by General Motors from 1960 to 1969. The 1965 Chevy Corvair was a part of the second generation of the Corvair, which was produced from 1965 to 1969.

The Corvair was introduced in 1960 as a direct competitor to the Volkswagen Beetle. It was notable for its rear-mounted, air-cooled engine, which was a departure from the traditional front-mounted, water-cooled engines found in most American cars. The first generation of the Corvair was produced from 1960 to 1964, and it included a range of body styles, including sedans, coupes, convertibles, and station wagons.

In 1965, the Corvair was redesigned for its second generation. The new model featured a more angular design with a squared-off roofline and a longer hood. The engine was also updated, with a larger, 2.7-liter version replacing the previous 2.4-liter engine. The new engine produced 140 horsepower and was available with either a four-speed manual or a two-speed automatic transmission.

The 1965 Chevy Corvair was available in several body styles, including a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan, a convertible, and a station wagon. The coupe and convertible models were particularly popular, thanks in part to their sporty styling and relatively low price.

Despite its popularity, the Corvair was not without controversy. In 1965, consumer advocate Ralph Nader published a book called "Unsafe at Any Speed," in which he criticized the safety of the Corvair and other American cars. Nader argued that the Corvair's rear-mounted engine made it prone to instability and rollovers, and he called for stricter safety regulations for the automotive industry.

The controversy surrounding the Corvair did not stop production, and the car remained in production until 1969. Today, the Corvair has a dedicated following of enthusiasts who appreciate its unique design and engineering. While it may not have been a commercial success, the 1965 Chevy Corvair remains an important part of automotive history.

Here’s a take

And let for a moment ignore the dbh and think of androids in general, in a more realistic way

Humans don’t hate androids because they are “perfect” or some shit like that

But because they exploit human emotions and turn human sympathy and compassion for each other into a vulnerability.

Now on how exactly androids poison human connection by mimicking it. Think of how corporate world exploits positivity and makes it toxic, uses major key music and bright colours, smiles at you with a big smile while not actually being friendly or caring about you, something that a lot of people grew so sick of that being unapologetically unfriendly and grumpy became kind of an attractive trait that in comparison feels GENUINE. So what happens when a corporation becomes so good at imitating human connection that you can’t even tell the difference? You become suspicious to other people.

You see genuine human interaction through the prism of constantly comparing it with androids. You start to pick up the exact things androids mimic and start to run new versions of Turing’s test on everyone.

Imagine being fired from your job by what looks like another human, a pretty one, that looks genuinely sorry. Genuinely sympathetic. And what’s worse – you fall for it. You leave feeling this sympathy and only when you start to think about it logically as opposed to emotionally (you just got manipulated), you realise that no real human even cared enough to talk to you personally. Not only you got fired, your company manipulated you into thinking that they still genuinely care about you. The resentment that will grow in you the longer you think about it will only be amplified with each “genuine” android you see.

Now when you see another beautiful human you can’t even appreciate their beauty because they are too much like an android. People who are pleasant to be around suddenly make you feel uncomfortable because they are a little too much like androids. And the more “genuinely-looking” androids get, the less genuine humans who do the exact same thing will look in comparison. Their behaviour will be subconsciously registered as an attempt to manipulate.

Now, think of millennial “grumpy” response to toxic positivity multiplied by ten, the one that spreads into each human interaction you have. Everyone is a test subject. Nothing is genuine. When it looks like it is –you are being manipulated into liking someone who isn’t even fucking real. Suddenly being near assholes becomes weirdly comforting, because at least you can be sure that this is real. As a protest to androids becoming better at imitating love, you start to sparkle your casual interactions with hate. It becomes new way of assuring your humanity, authenticity, your real life “I’m not a robot” badge that you exchange with other people that are equally testing you for authenticity as you are testing them.

And living in a society where you subconsciously start to view interactions as only genuine when they are expressing negative emotions (to be more specific, egoistic and hostile ones) — this is hell. It will make you miserable. It will make you hate androids for stealing something so precious you didn’t know it could be stolen. And seeing people who fall for this emotional trap every time, going as far as defending androids, preferring them to real people — will only make you angrier. And there is nothing you can really do with this anger either, other than to gradually become more and more hostile towards the androids and the people who defend them.

Sure, you hate the company(ies) responsible for androids, but you don’t interact with their representatives every day – you interact with androids. The product. And under this angle, will people hate androids? Yes. Yes, they will. And if you are not delusional, you’ll learn to hate them as well. The hatred is justified, as androids are the walking embodiment of a dark pattern*. It’s not about them “stealing jobs” (company executives made a conscious decision of “optimising” their businesses), it’s not about them “being perfect”. It’s far deeper than that.

* dark pattern is basically psychologically effective manipulative design. As an example – infinite scroll, gambling games, fake close buttons that make you click the ad, etc.

#androids #I’ll tag it as #dbh #just because it is kinda relevant within the context of my blog #but PLEASE don’t start discussing npcs behaviour in responses if you’ll want to response #dbh was written in a way that practically ignores the existence of the internet and makes androids as a parallel to slavery #it fucking sucks #I’m talking about androids in a more realistic scenario of extrapolating the AI we deal with today #if you start to talk about how Connor is special under this post I’ll curse your ass thanks 🙏

Hello !! Do you have thoughts on Rhea :]

yes, i do!! with the caveat that we have such limited information on lovelace's crew, what we do have is almost entirely filtered through her perspective, and we kinda... know rhea the least. as much as i find eris a fascinating character too, i wish we'd heard more of rhea.

which is kind of the first thing: rhea is the only AI character in wolf 359 who doesn't have a voice. (we don't hear hyperion's voice, which is supposedly not integrated yet, but he's not even really treated like a character in the scene he's in. and that's a whole other thing.) for hera in particular, she feels a physical disconnect from the others, but the fact that wolf 359 is audio only makes her an equal presence from the perspective of the audience. (which carries over to the live show, where the other characters may not be able to see her, but the audience can, etc.) rhea's situation is kind of the opposite, where her words can be seen by the others, but the audience can only hear or infer her words via what the others read out loud or respond to.

rhea clearly cares about her fellow crewmates, and seems to get along with lambert in particular. lovelace's log: "and communications officer lambert is... communications officer lambert. so an enormous stick in the mud. [...] i heard that, rhea. you are expressly forbidden from telling him i said that." - a sentiment it's easy to imagine early minkowski expressing about eiffel and hera, for the opposite reason. in a more direct parallel, rhea reassures lambert that he "does a great job"; in bach to the future, hera tells eiffel he's "actually very good at his job." the difference in context highlights their priorities; eiffel and hera are having a heart to heart about worthiness, while rhea really is talking about lambert's job - work is important to him, and most people around him don't respect or appreciate his work. what we can infer about rhea is that she's... well, the kind of person who would be lambert's friend. straightforward, rule-following, and professional.

(even something like "see, rhea? i told you someone read [my reports to command]" indicates that they talk to each other a fair amount, but also serves as a mirror to eiffel's belief no one listens to his logs.)

maybe the most interesting thing to me about rhea is her defense of eris: "it's just the way they programmed her, back off." ... again, the complete opposite of how hera might respond. eiffel tries to "defend" her in a similar way in ep 7 - "you can't really hold that against her; it's just her programming" - and she finds it incredibly insulting. with all of that taken together, with how lovelace, lambert, and rhea are in many ways intentional opposites to minkowski, eiffel, and hera, it really makes me wonder how rhea identifies or perceives herself.

i think hera is functionally human, both in her singular, consistent image of herself, and in her role in the narrative. eris appears human to lovelace, but is clear that it's how she sees "a version of herself." whether that refers to that iteration of eris having multiple versions of herself, or if it refers to all of the iterations of her who exist: either way it's a reflection of the way eris exists, and her acceptance of that. by extension, the fact that we don't encounter rhea in any way other than beeping sounds and implied words on station monitors... kind of says something narratively, i think. going back to her lack of voice, even that level of distance and abstraction takes her further away from 'human' perceptions by the audience, while she's obviously still a full person with her own priorities, perspectives, and opinions. i think it's very interesting to consider she might prefer her state of (lack of physical) existence in a way hera clearly does not.

#wolf 359 #w359 #asks #sorry this took a bit to reply to!! i know it's not just about rhea but it's hard to discuss her without talking about. other things #and i've been trying not to tag most of my asks #but i like talking about AI characters and don't know when i'll get a chance to talk about rhea again so. i wanna file it #i think it's worth considering the difference between personhood and humanity even if they commonly overlap #and i feel very strongly that it's wrong to call hera 'non-human' with the context of her character within the story #but that's very much not the case for most other AI characters and i think it's interesting she might even be an outlier within wolf 359 #i have more to say about that later but. for another post. #also to be clear. rhea's lack of voice is because she's an earlier model in universe. but it didn't have to be written that way. #the fact she was written that way says something interesting. #if you wanted to extend it to the same disability metaphors that apply to hera you could probably talk about non-verbal communication #but again. there's not much to go off of. it's mostly possibilities.

I use subtitles a lot and I SWEAR they've been getting shittier and shittier recently. The other day I was watching a doc on Netflix and deadass I went to look at the tv to confirm what I heard with subtitles and here WERE none for like 40 seconds and then it just picked back up like a HUGE chunk of words weren't missing and I was like wtf I don't even have a disability but to someone who IS hard of hearing or deaf these fucking things are USELESS of they're THIS useless to someone who DOESNT have a hearing issue like ???? How fucking hard is it to do subtitles (I know a lot of disabled people will do subs as freelance work and I can see how some stuff would be missed due to said disabilities, everyone has bad days, but something tells me DISABLED people aren't the ones skipping nearly a minutes worth of words being lazy with the subtitles.)

#winters ramblings #i assume something something AI is doing it now and doing it POORLY might i add #seriously i fuckung HATE when i turn around and the subtitles are either NOT THERE or they say something DIFFERENT than what was said #context is ALWAYS lost when things arent written verbatim youre nit a better writer than thr fucking show runners #right what the FUCK the characters say its your JOB literally i get doing subs must be annoying but like shit #is it SO HARD to not miss whole minutes of words for no reason whatsoever??? because they picked back up like normal??? #like why the hell are they so shit latetly. they already sucked now theyre WORSE!!

In 1975, Jorge Fink, of Baton Rogue, Louisiana, would look upon his 1972 Super Beetle, which had just been flooded in a rain storm, and wonder to himself; "What if I were to make it float, next time?". By 1976, he would have begun his legacy, of producing the J. Fink Submersive Autos Catfish, a kit car producible from a 1972 onwards Superbeetle, powered by the original Flat 4, although with a modification to allow the engine to become a propeller, much like the original Schwimmwagen of the Germans, though able to be switched on from a lever in the cockpit, rather than having to be manually dropped by hand on the original design. It was designed for comfort, and thus was one of the most expensive kit cars to purchase, although it could also be bought straight from the company, with a man coming to pick up your donor Beetle by the end of the month to build your new submersible vessel. A staggering 2900 would be built from the factory (with another 900 kits purchased from 1977-1983), using donor cars, leading to the surprisingly successful Submersive Autos (name changed in 1983, for simplicity), to be purchased by Cutts & Case Shipyard, in 1985, where it would become a subsidiary company, designing growingly successful kits, but soon, an entirely unique amphibious car, the company still operating today as Fink Submersive Autos, or FSA.

after the news about duolingo shifting to AI generated translations and only using human staff to check that the translations were bare minimum "acceptable" I switched my german lessons to busuu and I've only been doing it a month but it already feels like a more helpful interface. there's typically way more german text onscreen than there is english (e.g. the headers and lesson instructions being in german), they use more complex compound words that start becoming recognizable in context, they give WAY more detailed explanations of grammar rules, and occasionally there's a written short answer you submit to get feedback from other real users who are fluent. I don't think they offer as wide a range of languages but if anyone is looking to jump ship from duolingo I'd recommend checking them out

I saw a poem I hated so I went to the blog that posted it (like a normal person) and its FULL of poetry exactly like it. all about love (but its deep because its got metaphors) and feminism (but its deep because its got metaphors) and lesbianism (but its deep because its got metaphors) and christianity (but its deep because-) and its all written in that sans rhyme, sans rhythm style that I can't stand and like. Full of impenetrable metaphors and when I say that I mean it's shit like "Strain skim love through a sieve until it is a weapon, an apology, a bit of butter for seasoning." Every line. I refuse to believe it means anything. It just SOUNDS deep. maybe it is and im the dumbass who doesnt ~get~ it but it just feels like its so obsessed with becoming ungettable it lost any semblance of something TO get.

#personal #I was also thinking the whole time it reminds me of something this feels like something else its like something but what? #and then I realized: it SOUNDS ai generated #it literally just reads like a combination of words in a grammatical context but with nothing deeper to look at #just the way ai art is unsatisfying because its appeal is in the illusion of detail but once you look closer theres nothing further #to appreciate theres nothing (that I can reach) under the written word of the poem #my toxic relationship with art

Some insight into the designs and fashion of the 20s would be so cool, especially since it's kinda hard these days to sift through just costume listing :'0

Yeah, sadly, the usefulness of a Google search is greatly diminished these days. You can still find articles written by actual human beings and genuine historical garments, but you have to wade through a lot of junky costumes and AI bullshit to get there. I can't possibly fully explain 1920s fashion here, though. It's a broad enough topic to write a sizable book about...which is why people have written many books about it. Check out some books. There are things you can get pretty cheap from resellers, everything from academic screeds about the politics behind the fashion trends of the time, to clothing catalogue compilations from the 20s, to giant coffee table books full of glorious photos.

Here's a PDF version of one of those clothing catalog collections. There's an entire preface about 1920s fashion in general too.

There are some pretty well made blogs about the topic out there as well. Vintage Dancer is one of them. The front of the site is unfortunately kind of cluttered with ads for costume apparel and modern clothing inspired by the 20s, but scroll past that to the historical bits and you'll find pertinent things.

There are some great fashion YouTubers too, like Karolina Zebrowska. Although she's not focused heavily on 1920s fashion, she talks a lot about early 20th century fashion in general. She also talks a lot about the historical context of those fashions.

Also, try online museum displays. The Met Museum has a searchable collection, for instance. Look up 1920s fashion, 1920s dresses, 1920s suits, etc.

Cameras were popular and accessible in the 1920s. Look at pictures of what people actually wore. You can find these images in free government photo archives, or licensing libraries like Getty Images (you don't have to license anything to look at it). And there's always Shorpy. Poor old, underappreciated Shorpy. Their archive is searchable.

The Subaru Brat, also known as the Subaru 284 in some markets, was a compact pickup truck produced by Subaru from 1978 to 1994. The Brat was first introduced to the US market in 1978 and quickly became known for its unique design and rugged off-road capabilities.

One of the most distinctive features of the Brat was its two rear-facing jump seats, which were located in the truck bed. These seats were marketed as a way for owners to transport additional passengers, but they also helped the Brat skirt around strict US import laws that required trucks to have a certain payload capacity.

Throughout its production run, the Brat received several updates and improvements. In 1981, Subaru introduced a four-wheel-drive version of the Brat, which made it even more capable off-road. The Brat was also available with a turbocharged engine option in later years.

Despite its popularity, the Brat was eventually discontinued in 1994 due to changing safety regulations and the introduction of newer, more modern trucks. However, its unique design and rugged reputation have made it a cult classic among off-road enthusiasts.

Today, the Brat remains a beloved part of Subaru's history and continues to inspire car enthusiasts around the world. Whether you're a fan of its distinctive design or its rugged off-road capabilities, the Brat is a true icon of the automotive world.

The problem with Wikipedia is that it has rendered all other encyclopedias extinct or out of view (the exception are fandom encyclopedias, I guess, but those have their own problems). And people need in-depth information which also isn't highly specific academic papers that only tackle one specific thing in depth without wider context (my main problem when researching, for example, pre-columbian cultures.)

And competitors to Wikipedia like, you know, Encyclopedia Brittanica (I actually read it sometimes, and it's good until it hits you with straight up XIX imperialist apologia) aren't really good either. There is also a drought of encyclopedias in Spanish as all search results are absorbed by Wikipedia, this is why I hoard all sorts of PDFs and books, because the results in Spanish are just Spanish Wikipedia (probably the WORST of all major Wikipedias) and random SEO blogs.

There should be lots of online encyclopedias on different topics written by experts, ideally with some oversight because Wikipedia can be very, very biased when it wants (you can tell some people are really masturbating to Byzantine emperors), but I think this is a lost cause too since Google search, which let's face it, it's 99% of all internet searches, is declining into mush fast. And with AI generated content, things are going to get worse. I think we're honestly reaching a tipping point in the internet regarding access to reliable information.

At the end, my suggestion is that you go and download books, actual published books, and keep your sources broad. Because I think we're reaching a point where information on the internet is going to decline. It won't be lost, it will just be impossible to find unless you do a deep dive, or worse, mumbled into SEO/AI garbage misinformation.

#cosas mias #not that published books are automatically good but at least there are some levels of editing and control that Wikipedia doesn't have #much less all the SEO blogs

what's ur opinion on people using AI to make art and stuff ?

as a marxist i dont believe that technology itself can be inherently bad or any of these basically luddite takes that people have about AI. developments in technology often disenfranchise certain class strata which depend on an earlier form of production, and are either proletarianized or forced to find other ways to adapt to shifting markets and the decline of their industry. this is nothing new, its a frequent process of capitalism, similar to craftsmen and artisans work being devalued with the development of industry. attempting to reject the technology itself is misguided and also just doesnt work, so im against these views and also against the idea that AI is 'stealing jobs from artists.' this is a simplistic view that lends itself well to the forces of reaction. essentially, i have no issue with AI as a potential art medium.

the other issue, that is more complex, that some people in these AI debates seem to be grasping at but usually formulate this in a very simplistic and often crass way, is about what constitutes a great work of art, how to asses a work of art, in what way does art represent something that the artist created in it, art as human striving towards something etc. people have used a lot of different types of technology to create something interesting, but still this depends on the vision of the artist. its also necessary to look at art today the context of the development of cultural production as an industry in itself, and cultural products as truly products in the capitalist sense, commodities on the market. there also are plenty of interesting debates and analyses on how technology develops under capitalism, which i can post some titles and links of if you want. theres also a lot of cool stuff people have written about technology and art specificallly, id recommend this essay by walter benjamin

Your discussions on AI art have been really interesting and changed my mind on it quite a bit, so thank you for that! I don’t think I’m interested in using it, but I feel much less threatened by it in the same way. That being said, I was wondering, how you felt about AI generated creative writing: not, like AI writing in the context of garbage listicles or academic essays, but like, people who generate short stories and then submit them to contests. Do you think it’s the same sort of situation as AI art? Do you think there’s a difference in ChatGPT vs mid journey? Legitimate curiosity here! I don’t quite have an opinion on this in the same way, and I’ve seen v little from folks about creative writing in particular vs generated academic essays/articles

i think that ai generated writing is also indisputably writing but it is mostly really really fucking awful writing for the same reason that most ai art is not good art -- that the large training sets and low 'temperature' of commercially available/mass market models mean that anything produced will be the most generic version of itself. i also think that narrative writing is very very poorly suited to LLM generation because it generally requires very basic internal logic which LLMs are famously bad at (i imagine you'd have similar problems trying to create something visual like a comic that requires consistent character or location design rather than the singular images that AI art is mostly used for). i think it's going to be a very long time before we see anything good long-form from an LLM, especially because it's just not a priority for the people making them.

ultimately though i think you could absolutely do some really cool stuff with AI generated text if you had a tighter training set and let it get a bit wild with it. i've really enjoyed a lot of AI writing for being funny, especially when it was being done with tools like botnik that involve more human curation but still have the ability to completely blindside you with choices -- i unironically think the botnik collegehumour sketch is funnier than anything human-written on the channel. & i think that means it could reliably be used, with similar levels of curation, to make some stuff that feels alien, or unsettling, or etheral, or horrifying, because those are somewhat adjacent to the surreal humour i think it excels at. i could absolutely see it being used in workflows -- one of my friends told me recently, essentially, "if i'm stuck with writer's block, i ask chatgpt what should happen next, it gives me a horrible idea, and i immediately think 'that's shit, and i can do much better' and start writing again" -- which is both very funny but i think presents a great use case as a 'rubber duck'.

but yea i think that if there's anything good to be found in AI-written fiction or poetry it's not going to come from chatGPT specifically, it's going to come from some locally hosted GPT model trained on a curated set of influences -- and will have to either be kind of incoherent or heavily curated into coherence.

that said the submission of AI-written stories to short story mags & such fucking blows -- not because it's "not writing" but because it's just bad writing that's very very easy to produce (as in, 'just tell chatGPT 'write a short story'-easy) -- which ofc isn't bad in and of itself but means that the already existing phenomenon of people cynically submitting awful garbage to literary mags that doesn't even meet the submission guidelines has been magnified immensely and editors are finding it hard to keep up. i think part of believing that generative writing and art are legitimate mediums is also believing they are and should be treated as though they are separate mediums -- i don't think that there's no skill in these disciplines (like, if someone managed to make writing with chatGPT that wasnt unreadably bad, i would be very fucking impressed!) but they're deeply different skills to the traditional artforms and so imo should be in general judged, presented, published etc. separately.

(In order) 1997 Honda Allure Styling Prototype, 1994 Honda UniQ Concept,  1999 Honda Allure (1st Gen), 2002 Honda Allure (Concept), and 2019 Honda Allure (Concept)

Now for the lore:

Honda decided to make a microcar in 1993, produced for Europe and China, as a cheap car for inter-city travel, called the Honda Allure, revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997, the car was prepared for mass production with an option of either a 0.5L gasoline engine, or an electric motor with a range of 80 miles.

The 1994 Honda UniQ was a concept that would eventually evolve into the Allure, though this would be after a decision to shrink the model, from a 1 liter engined, 2+2 seater, to a 2 seater with a 0.5 liter engine, for more likely sales.

In 2002, a preview for the Second Gen Honda Allure was showed off at Geneva again, potentially expanding to the North and South American markets as non-road-legal carts, offered with a 100 mile range electric battery, alternatively a 0.7 liter engine, a revised version of the 0.5 liter engine from the previous generation. It wound up selling ~500,000 units worldwide, from 2004-2009, selling 10% of all units in the United States alone.

In 2009, the Allure was discontinued due to changing safety regulations in Europe, and the North American market dropping off over the course of the 5 year second generation, but in 2019, a third generation was revealed at the New York International Auto Show, to a near-production standard, equipped with a Hydrogen system at the show, which was purely for demonstration, but was to be sold in mass markets as a new EV for Honda to test their mettle on. As of 2023, 500,000 units have been sold, despite the massive issues in production due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, proving even more popular than the originals in North America, and not likely to be replaced in the near future by a next generation.
