I also think there are areas where automating things is clumsy. My pet peeve is that macos is really unfriendly to people solving their own problems. It is really hard to script anything. I know that there are shell scripts. I know that th

You're correct. But that said, it seems like something about it all is murky. For example, lots of pet parrots probably trace back to some sort of operation like this, and end up preserving the species.

Reminds me of stories where someone parks a pristine <some-car> and goes away for some reason, never to return. Then decades go by before the "barn find" is rediscovered.

I have to disagree. There are a few situations where it is dangerous. - anything involving a quick 3-point turn. Or making a u-turn and not making it and having to back up a bit. (don't know if the car can guess right) - creeping ou

Tesla cars with their dashcam turned on collect enormous amounts of data. They have 4-6 cameras writing continuously to a USB flash drive. I wonder why we can't get folks to drive around and collect it, then use AI/automation to

I remember some of the early movies in theaters were hard to look at - they had some weird temporal jumpiness. and then the 3d in disney's Up was so good it put the others to shame.

When IE did this at the very beginning of the internet it was a real scandal. then verizon did it for (to?) mobile phones. I guess these things get normalized, people might say "those jerks" and then put it out of their mind.

I don't sweat reliability that much. If it fails, I will one-click a bigger model and toss the broken one in the new one. :)

I think Musk actually wasn't in it for the money. He made all the money first the silicon valley way (paypal) and then decided to actually make and sell non-software/ip things that physically exist. I think that is actually hard.
