I have strong feeling that besides ML bias there is also selection bias on this type of memes to make them the most outrageous. That's why people who experiment with it themselves don't see as strong bias.

Companies should be required to monitor distances driven and report crashes when L2+ systems are active. If it's proven that a system performs significantly worse than a human then regulate it further.

The main point is that this hunger for resources without regard for consequences is the very core of life. We did not exist back then. And cyanobacteria did not have a great plan of creating mammals.

Then I guess EU should do the same. Americans on YouTube should pay taxes in EU on EU ad views or YouTube should leave EU. But I think in practice EU is thinking more in direction of simply taxing global profits of tech giants.
