I can see this becoming a culture war thing like vaccines. Conservatives will become pro-CSAM because it triggers the overly sensitive crybaby Liberals.
Waymo may be currently safer than human drivers, but this right here is why I don't believe for a second they'll stay that way. People will complain it took to long to get somewhere because "stupid car was following all the rules!" and they'll be programmed to become more aggressive and dangerous (and due to regulatory capture they'll get away with this of course). I've already noticed this in San Francisco.
Look at when all the "No Kings" protests are happening: on the weekend. Because there is no way the vast majority of Americans can go on strike, because healthcare is tied to employment. This is why healthcare is never getting "fixed" in America--it's doing its job quite well.
One of the houses across the street from me had its driveway dug up, all the way from the street to inside the garage, for what I first thought was for putting a bathroom or something in the downstairs level. When I walked past the old pipes they took out they were full of roots.
Seems like the opposite could be true though. AI models now have all been trained on real human-generated texts but as more of the web gets flooded with slop the models will be increasingly trained on their own outputs.
Why the light grey text on a white background? Seriously. It's every other website these days. I of course know how to fix this in Developer Tools but I resent that I have to.
Apologies for going off-topic but putting light grey text on a white background is one of the most baffling (and infuriating) design trends I've ever witnessed on the web.
If those people hit the streets they'll be hit by chemical weapons (i.e. tear gas) that are illegal for our government to use in war but perfectly legal to use on peaceful protesters. Just something to keep in mind in case anyone is wondering why Americans don't really protest.
This was actually something that was tried with music in the early 90s, by Philips and Sony with the CD-i. The musician/producer Todd Rundgren made an album specifically for this format called "No World Order" where the songs were all broken up into "modules", so to speak, and the user could configure them however they'd like.
