Driverless meaning no backup safety driver either.

This need not be permanent, there is a Pareto improvement to be made and it has nothing to do with Rural/industrial areas.

They are, they just aren't allowed to sell in the USA. And they're looking to make the ban permanent [1]. Canada is getting some though!

Process B has killed none to do the same job.

I'm sure per mile driven, there is an "acceptable death rate", but should we atleast wait till the autonomous cars are on the board to make that a priority?

When people point out "reckless" behavior of autonomous cars to me, the conversation simply isn't worth having unless you're comparing to current conditions. We're looking at 40,000 deaths per year so, endless community meetings and hand-wringing around regulations is not an option, unless we're ready to first stop all human driving and have the same process for those.

This is someone carrying out the tasks of their company and inadvertently hacking other computers in the process. The damages in this scenario is also unknown.

Isn't that the whole point of corporations existing? That the actions and results are a result of the agglomeration of everyone (esp leadership) and not just one employee.

A human premium, and an elevation of human made art was always inevitable. Most "AI art" token spend is TPS reports, and explainer slides, maybe educational materials on the fringes. Maybe there is a chance some forms of AI art becomes its own new medium (like theater vs "the talkies") but it was never going to be a replacement.

Just 3 years of pointless hand-wringing, headlines and breathless interviews for nothing.

"Aaron Sorkin says he will never use AI".

Yes. No one asked him to! But alas, clickbait rules all.

I think these are problems to be worked on and they are being worked on. The work just looks boring and will not make any newsfeeds anytime soon. Our systems are changing and adapting as we speak.

See my other comments as to why that sentiment is the most dangerous sentiment. It’s easy to point to the problem of oligarch’s or clearly labellable “bad actors” and incompetence.

But neighbors agitating to block housing, unions blocking productivity enhancing technologies? Much more difficult to treat these as a “problem” as they are just a mass of historically disenfranchised people protecting their interests. But they are doing wide damage, and that same sentiment is now coming to software developers.

Whether it’s neighbors blocking housing, union bosses blocking port automation at the height of COVID, medical association’s controlling doctor quotas it’s the same sentiment, a fear of change.

I grant that a healthy distrust of the (capitalist) parties involved is fine but the reaction when given power is the same, veto: Stop everything now. Change is scary.

There are definitely transient upheavals as civilization adapts to the new norm and we can do much to reduce those effects.

But the end result is the same, more of everything made cheaper for the working class.

We are at the tail end of a 50 year productivity plateau and rising costs. We’re looking down the barrel of the first reduction in the QoL for our kids. I for one want to see what this tech has to offer.

No I’m just at the frontlines of this so called “replacement” and all I’m seeing is people doing more with less with no possibility of replacement. I have no idea what all this marketing pablum about TAM replacement is. All I’m seeing is growing businesses serving more people with less resources.

Could it be that CEO’s of struggling businesses are lying about why they’re doing the layoffs? Why are we suddenly believing them on this one issue?

I’m talking housing, infrastructure, shipping, medical care, all critical services and sectors where fixing decades of lagging productivity will help the working class the most.

There is a lot of the latter happening so my comment remains relevant.

“I need to block abundance for all because I don’t feel safe with change”

is probably the most dangerous sentiment coursing through our civilization right now, and it’s coming now for me, and this is my rationalization from giving in to my baser instincts.

I’m imploring others to do the same
