Amazon unveils AI-Powered AR glasses for delivery drivers.
The response I've seen from actual drivers has been somewhere between "eh? I guess?" and "fuck you, pay me".
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I literally can't even.
As someone who spent countless hours of my youth in hammer, laying out areas with props and lighting and doing play testing about areal movement with test npcs, it's hilarious that these people see this slop and say, yes this is the future.
also : "I’m working on a theory that “AI is art” boosters have some kind of limited ability to perceive details. Like they literally only perceive large shapes, colors, and noises. Anything remotely more detailed than ‘big thing go boom’ they actually lack the ability to see it." 🤔🤔🤔

My fundamental concern with regard to how much voting control I have at Tesla is, if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future?
If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? Not control, but a strong influence … I don't feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.

Anyone else getting “when I die, you’re all joining me in my mausoleum” vibes from musk?
