> This AI stuff is neither good or bad, it is a tool. The people using it are either good or bad. You quite literally did??

“drunk driving kills a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so it’s impossible to say whether it’s bad or not”

> That's where the mass shooters evidently come from. I mean, quite a few have come from proto-manosphere circles, too. Elliot Rodger comes to mind.

> Ugh. People already trying to find ways to gate keep space by raising the financial barrier to entry before we've even been able to capitalize on cheap space flights. This reads like a parody of libertarians.

This is a super reductive reading of the American revolution. The idea of the colonies self governing was popular as hell, for obvious reasons. Our current situation is nowhere near the same thing. The people that aren’t frothing-at-the-mou

Do what, exactly? Throw away our lives? 40% of the nation would rather die than vote for anyone other than a racist, and another 40% would tsk-tsk and say “that’s not how you’re supposed to do it”. There’s no revolution coming to save the d

First time seeing an ad? If you sampled 100 F-150 buyers they would look nothing like the people in the commercials.

This stupidity is home-grown. Blaming "enemy states" is deflection - the quicker we understand that the quicker we can get to fixing this mess.

This shit is immune to parody, it’s the most California thing to ever exist. “We’ll fix your health problems with an AI spa”. A spa. Give me a break.

It’s not the majority, but it’s also not some tiny minority like you make it out to be. Half the country fought a war to protect slavery and we’ve never really reckoned with that. A lot of people are willing to ally with the crazies to get

The reason they do this is because they are, like many other people in this country, completely driven mad by religious fervor. It seems completely irrational because it is. Silicon Valley is filled with people, at the top echelons of the m

Huh, I must have inverted that number in my head. Thanks!

Lawful doesn’t mean right. Slavery was lawful.

I really don’t know who told you that Seattle has one of the best transit infrastructures in the country, lol. It’s not even close to New York or Chicago, nor any of the forward thrust cities (DC, Atlanta). Hell, the light rail isn’t even a

All of these are more than enough weight to kill a toddler by falling on them. That, of course, ignores all the other hazards presented by (presumably) titanium limbs attached to actuators able to exert enough force to crush any extremity y

You have a house with small kids and you want a 600 pound autonomous robot walking around? These aren’t funny tech products, they’re industrial equipment.

It would actually be pretty easy to do with regular robotics (well, compared to a humanoid robot anyways). The reason nobody does it is that it takes up a ton of space which is at a huge premium in pretty much every kitchen ever. Also like,

“Infinite valuation”? Give me a break.

You’re reversing causality. People don’t want gore-tex, and they don’t want cobalt batteries. They want dry boots and transportation. If some corporation comes along and says they have dry boots and electric cars, it is not realistic to exp

Sure, but the purpose is recruitment. They wouldn't do them if they didn't get anything out of them, and what they get out of them is PR and boosts to recruitment efforts.

I dunno about "gently". The XBone was a pretty major face-plant and so was the Series S/X split. The only really successful Xbox was the 360, and that's mostly because Sony went mad with power while designing the PS3. It
