I've seen what the latest paid-access versions of GPT tech can do, and it's god-like. When, not if, AGI happens, there will be no job that can't be taken by a machine. "Me plus AI" is a lie sold by the tech barons and their political enablers to deflect or at least postpone the reckoning as automati

All of them are rare experiences today. Perhaps a Mazda MX-5 can join this list at a lower price point. An early 2000s Cayman S also is a great drive with a manual transmission, but even then, we're looking back two decades to seek the elusive qualities of driver engagement and light weight. Best Re

It's not performance, which is now terrifying. It's not usability, which is superior today. And it's not comfort, which is now highly cultivated. Honestly, its the lack of **restraint** in the design of today's Ferrari cars. Aside from the rare beauty of the Roma/Amalfi, today's Ferraris look almost

On my 1960 Buick, I do it every 2,000 miles or so, which usually corresponds to the start of spring. That car has 47,000 original miles, and I do my best to b

It has been a while since I've seen the original Portuguese 7-Day, and it remains my favorite. This steel model you found is the definitive beauty from the series, but I had a chance to see the platinum model around four years ago. They're all masterpieces even if I prefer the contrast of your subje

Much like the odd but charismatic mid-career work of Frank Lloyd Wright, the DB20-24 series was an odd tangent in De Bethune's design journey. They have almost nothing in common with the prior and subsequent De Bethune models, and they're sort of a design island from a period when DB was toying with
