Ars Technica bravely unveils their AI newsroom #policy, which is essentially a list of things they promise not to do, like a child announcing they won't eat crayons anymore. 🤖✏️ Meanwhile, the actual news is just sitting there, wondering when it will get some attention instead. 🙄📉

I want to see an American #EV #musclecar scene take off with bootleg modifications and limited slip differential kits and stuff

Funny, but I just want to drive my (unmodified) #nissanleaf from point A to point B

📰 The underground story of Cobra, the 1980s’ illicit handmade computer — #ArsTechnica

❝In their poor, Communist country, Romania’s computer curious built an underground industry.
