Formula E was founded on the promise that electric cars could race in cities where no other series could go. The GEN4 car is proof the technology worked. It is also, by implication of the 2026-2027 calendar, proof that the streets couldn't keep up with it.

In which Loki confesses to adjusting a pet adoption platform's breed-matching algorithm to pair a Lake Worth man with a husky, explains why the alpha-wolf dominance model that inspired the subsequent ear bite was derived from captive animals in a Swiss zoo and has been publicly retracted by its own originator since 1999, and admits that twenty confessions in, he is still establishing dominance through information architecture and has not once needed to use his teeth.

A German startup is offering free home cleaning in New York if you let their workers wear cameras to record everything for robot training data.
