I'm coining a new term: "gas-ware" New technology appearing in advanced electric vehicles. Much like 'gaslighting', a clever huckster keeps saying, its 'coming soon', and 'its has ___-capacity'. A common strategy for a 'gasware' creator, is he keeps moving the goal-posts. A necessary pre-requisite: high charisma and notoriety.
- pedrovhb 4y agoThank you for mentioning gaslighting. I had that thought immediately but was wondering to myself whether it applied here (which means it was working!) It's baffling that a company can do that and expect to still be trusted in the future, and with people's lives, no less. Alas, it'll likely blow over, if it even makes any kind of splash. It'll be interesting to see the copious amounts of doublethink in the announcement.
- rkagerer 4y agoSounds like there's some overlap with the well-established term 'vaporware'.
