AA but having a swappable battery tray

Microsoft did something like this with xbox controllers. There are additional contact points inside the battery chamber for a li-ion pack, so you could use a pair of AAs or their rechargeable pack that just fits into the same space.

I disagree about the batteries. Give me replaceable AA cells any day over a built-in Li-ion. Rechargeable AAs are readily available and quickly swappable if you keep hot spares. Much better option for long term serviceability.

I've been waiting for someone to do this for years.

I can't speak for other manufacturers, or even in other countries, but Mitsubishi Canada at least has an opt-out for data collection. You need to call their customer care number and they will remotely disable it.

When cruise control is on, yes, but it's extremely gentle. The slightest bit of resistance from the driver will overpower it.

Can't also for Toyota, but yes, my Mitsubishi has the option of simple cruise control without lane keeping.

I've never had any issue with the lane assist in my Mitsubishi. It's absolutely built as an "assist" and not something that will actually try to take control from you. It's trivial to "overpower" it manually and turn out of your lane without signaling if that's what you want to do, but does a perfectly reasonable job of steering on its own when left to its own devices.

That said, I wouldn't be driving a vehicle new enough to have the feature yet either if I hadn't been rear ended a couple of years ago and had my 2012 Lancer written off. :(

With imagery, or in abstracts. I have an internal monologue but not everything is a monologue. If I'm working on a project of some kind I'll usually keep a mental model of the current piece I'm working on in my head. There's no monologue attached, it's just a "working copy" of my current task.

Or for example if I'm reaching somewhere I can't see to plug in a usb port or something I'm visualizing in my head what my hand is doing, but I'm not talking myself through it.

Same. I learned this was a thing just the other day.

I don't use them often but do find them nicer for parenthetical remarks sometimes.

A friend of mine is albino and turned down a job offer in South Africa around that time. The thought of even being on the same continent with that going on made him profoundly uncomfortable.

To sell the narrative of cutting waste. The fact that people will be hurt by this doesn't factor into their consideration in the slightest and they need to stay on message.

On top of that they say that these sorts of behaviors only arise when the models are "stressed", and the article also mentions "threats" like being unplugged. What kind of response do they actually expect from a fill-in-the-conversation machine when the prompt it's been asked to continue from is a threat?
