What you're saying is the market-share of the AI version that does not involve additional exploitation of minors in its creation is going up over time. The evidence is increasing that the theory is right. If the AI version gets good e

Sounds like my example scenario would not work for you. That being said, renting may not be necessary, since many people already own gas powered cars, and most electric vehicle owners already have another car. Since you already have a gas-

Batteries are a major part of the cost of an electric car. If you spent $100k on an electric car that had a 100 mile range, it must be a Maybach. It would be much more realistic in this scenario for the electric car to be $30k, in which ca

Electric vehicles have an irrational amount of range. Is renting a car for the <1% of the time you need to drive >100 miles that hard?

Examples can go back and forth. Government can unilaterally confiscate your property via civil asset forfeiture and make you prove it was obtained legally. Government has been evicting people as collective punishment for crimes: https:&#x

Sticking googly eyes on the front would be much better than the existing solution because that would be disarming and joyful instead of disturbing and dystopian.

It should be obvious. The government can use information to prosecute people. Corporations can't. The government is much less accountable than corporations for malicious behavior due to sovereign and qualified immunity.

Beautifully simple that it only has to spin the wheels one direction! I do imagine it has to stop though when the person stops walking. The drawback of this is that it requires a firm contact point like shoes to work. You wouldn't w

We're just lucky it's still attached to a human being. When online political discourse is dominated by millions of AI bots that appear indistinguishable from a human, that could be horrific.

The human mind isn't rational. Don't expect just because they very well know what genocide is, that they can't convince themselves they aren't committing genocide.

China may not even provide a military presence. First, because providing military presence could invite conflict since Israel would have the ability to claim the Chinese fired first, even if untrue. Second, because Chinese leadership is a

Trump wouldn't intensify the genocide. Not just because Israel currently has carte blanche to do what it wants, but also because of personal animosity with Netanyahu.

Level 5 means there is no instance when Waymo intervenes from home base to tell the car what to do to get around an obstacle, and no instance where an emergency responder drives the car to move it out of the way. If the car is told to take

Perhaps it straddles the line between 3 and 4. I don't see much of a distinction between the passenger taking over, and a first responder taking over. Would Waymo put cars on the road that don't have pedals and a steering wheel

The ability to safely and successfully get where you want to go would not be diminished by the fact it was an autonomous vehicle. 8" of snow in LA would be a disaster because they don't have the road maintenance infrastructure to

The bet requires the cars to be SAE level 5 autonomous. You wouldn't notice the difference as a passenger between level 4 used in appropriate conditions, and level 5 car. But the bet does require the car to be level 5 nonetheless.

Disagree. Waymo is currently at level 3. From your link, emergency responders have the ability to put the car in a manual mode to get it out of the way if it is stuck. Waymo also has employees make decisions on behalf of the car remotely

When the alternative is starving, they do. The problem isn't children being allowed to work in mines. The problem is the lack of superior alternatives available to them.

Government is a double-edged sword. Classifying drugs like psilocybin as class 1, meaning researchers couldn't even study it. Also, 13 year approval process makes it extremely expensive to try to get a drug to market. Of course gove
