This is the same anecdotal appeal we get over and over while AI cars drive into firetrucks and trees in ways even the most basic licensed driver would not. Then we are told these are safer because people text or become distracted. I am over this garbage. Get real numbers and find a way to do it that doesn't put me and my family at risk.

Evidence, please.

I have literally been in thousands of driving incidences where a human has not randomly driven into a tree.

You are making a claim here: that these AI systems are safer than humans. There is at least one clear counter example to your claim in existence (which I cited - https://youtu.be/frGoalySCns if anyone wants to try to figure out what this AI was doing) and there are others including ones where they have driven into the sides of tractor trailers. I assume you will make an argument about aggregates, but the sample size we have for these AI driving systems relative to the sample size we have for humans is many orders of magnitude different. And having now seen years of these incidents continuing to pile up, I believe there needs to be much more rigorous research and testing before you can make valid claims these systems are somehow safer.

A Tesla in FSD randomly just veered off the road into a tree. There is video. It makes no sense, very difficult to work out why the AI thought that looked like a good move.

These tools this author is saying we have do not work how people claim they do.

Dead children cry out from a thousand worlds.

The prime directive is the most amoral thing in all of Star Trek.

If there are space faring aliens out there who have solved scarcity and they're just watching the suffering that unfolds daily on this world - they better indeed hope we don't figure out space travel because I will have serious unanswered questions.

(This same shit applies to all-powerful deities.)

Officer not charged with a crime - presumably still employed there.

Any of you ever lose your employer a couple million and retain your job?

Not even sure what we are doing anymore. Everything has become completely fucking backward and stupid. We could so easily make police carry malpractice insurance like we make doctors. I thought conservatives liked guns, freedom and capitalism - why don't they give a shit about jackbooted idiocy? 🤷‍♂️

We are heading back to the BBS model and as an old man now I am fuckin here for it. 🤝

3151 hrs of overtime.

78.775 full-time 40 hour weeks there.

So assuming 2 weeks of vacation, he somehow managed to work 128.775 weeks in a year?

128.775/50 - let's see how many work weeks he had to work each week to get there - 2.5755

So each week he had to be working about 2.6 normal weeks, or about 103 hours a week.

Assuming he worked 7 days each week, he was doing 14.7 hour shifts every day of those 50 weeks of working 7 days with no breaks.

Hmm.

Never, ever elect Republicans.

Does anyone else feel like these national leagues have become just as disconnected from reality as any other hyper capitalist enterprise?

I want more hometown sports. I daydream about leagues funded by local communities, starring local talent, with smaller local crowds. Is there anyone else out there who would give much more of a shit if things were a little more close to home, reality-wise? Am I alone?

Guys getting paid literally hundreds of millions to play a sport is unrelatable. A local star making $300k and being a part of the community feels better to me. Seems like we should be able to afford a lot of those for the money we are spending.

I know next to nothing about sports or the business around them, but I know I remember summer nights with cheap hotdogs and minor league ball that seem to have evaporated as the wealthy accumulated. 🤷‍♂️

You just did it. 🤷‍♂️

You continue to spout things with no citations and a bad vibe. I am done here.
