Why would it? It sees a road in front of itself, the whole car is built + programmed to go by what it sees, as an image.

The car is doing exactly what it is built to do. It just so happens that “safety of road traffic” is not among the things it is built for, and explicitly so.

Of course, if the styrofoam was even mildly damp, the Tesla will be rusting now. 😅

Well the set up is “Some rich fucker was idiot enough to dictate his company should not install LIDAR, no matter how strictly superior it’d be to do so”.

So I dunno. We could ask Melon Husk why he set that up, but I doubt he’ll reply. All Mark Robers did is observe the effect of the setup of Edolf Muskler. You’re right of course in so far that there’s not much to the video then, and I faintly remember there was a case a lot of years ago where a Tesla drove into a sky-blue truck because coming up on a crest it expected to only see hill, which matched the color of said truck.

Bold of you to assume the current administration will let you vote, except maybe as for where specifically the concentration camps for LGBTQ people will be built.

That’s kinda what I meant with “feels intentional”. Some manager went “Yeah fuck QA for consumer products, put those 50 people to work on business/AI stuff instead, we make fuck all money from consumers anyways”.

NVidia is shitting the bed so hard it’s just ridiculous. It feels almost intentional, like we’re starting to leave the area of Hanlon’s razor. 😂

Though, remains to be seen what AMD cooks up in this race to the bottom…

No they’re just catastrophically xenophobic and racist. I mean, that’s essentially what their country was founded on, so I’m hardly surprsed.

Always keep in mind that the american democratic part is a center-right conservative party from virtually any non-US perspective. Contrary to the republicans, which are a christofascist-ultranationalist conservative party. But they’re both conservatives. They don’t like to work, they just want to make the rich richer.

Now, I should say, in particular the democrats do have plenty individual members who got the right ideas and do the right work. But they are struggling against an old party block that is used to never yanking the chain because they’re hte ones benefitting from the status quo, and who are also by now too old to mind fallout from stuff like Trump in office or climate change as they’ll die from old age in a few years anyways.

And it’s not like Boeing is doing well getting safe planes into the air even with the FAA working at full capacity, so it might be time to order more “You’re Boeing to die”-shirts from WTYP’s merch store.

Mostly science, media, governments. We no longer need to talk about Gods to explain lightning or ask a priest instead of a doctor to help us with our cancer.

Of course, in days past that scientific alternative did not exist and we also had few ways to inform people about any such alternatives. So religions offered an explanation and while not a solution at least done hope and were really available.

We also have made huge laps in therapy and psychology so we no longer require a supposed higher being to pray to to manage our own fears and depressions.

Of course, everyone handles this differently. For some, it’s a useful tool, even if it is core is Santa Claus for adults, in a way. But it’s not required any more. We found alternatives, and in most cases with actual explanations and actual effects.

You behave properly by not being into religion. That’s kinda the point. Few cults aren’t too radical to be sensible (~all of Island, ~all of Christianity) in a modern world, or intentionally undermine societal structures around them to further their own goals (Mormons et all).

It was once a needed concept. Nowadays non-ecclesical structures exist to do this, and they get actively hampered/undermined by religious ones (see the christofascists in the US).

It’s relatively easy to envision.

Assume each agency (not just the 3-letter ones, any) had X% of fascists and fascist-friendly people. The other 100%-X% will be fired. So just the X% remain.

On the one hand, the agency is now severly crippled as it lacks key personell, and probably the firings aren’t evenly spread through departments and key positions, meaning some aspects don’t work at all any more (separating air traffic is one, for a simple example), while others still mostly work. On the other hand, all remaining aspects are now 100% fascist in their nature, and will always take the fascist option if one presents itself as anyone who would not do so has been removed.
