You can always do some sports betting on your phone while your getting driven around.

Is the remote operator actually driving under normal conditions, or do they just step in during an exigent circumstance?

No reason to be uncivil. It's a bit of a stretch to say that "clanker" is related to race in any way. Lots of slurs have nothing to do with race, you're projecting your own bias and prejudices as some sort of universal linguistic truth. In highschool band the percussionists called the wind section "honkers," were they making some vailed n-word allusion? No, it was silly and the wind section were all blowhards so we made fun of them with a little in-group slur.

Thanks, now I need to build a faraday cage around my chest to stop the CIA from polygraphing me at range.

In the tribunals to come, whoever implemented the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag will be prosecuted as a war criminal.

I swear Im not trying to be glib or dismissive, but I honestly think you dont know what "privatization" means, this is the exact opposite.

Well, the current administration and the National Socialists do have some things in common.

One use case I'd love to see an easy plug-and-play solution for is a RAG build around companies vast internal documentation/wikis/codebase to help developers onboard and find information faster. I would love to see less of people trying to replace humans with language models and more of people trying to use language models to make humans jobs less frustrating.

I think having near-CASM on your social medias home page is kinda an issue but maybe thats just me.

I dont know about yall, but personally I love to see an AI running with "--dangerously-skip-permissions" in an infinite loop. Every day we get closer to the cyberpunk future we deserve.

I absolutely abhor the design of this site. I cannot engage with the content as Im filled with a deep burning hatred of the delivery. Anyone making a personal site: do not do this.

Perhaps the driver would have acted differently if Tesla hadnt sold him a product called "autopilot."

Well, I dont think anyone else contributed a system called "autopilot."

I've always been somewhat partial to the stellarator design, I mean a big plasma donut is cool and all, but what if we twisted it around a whole bunch first!?

I love the attempt at bribery by offering to "sponsor" their empty youtube channel.

Clicked on one of the comics to see how the images came out and it immediately started playing audio. Auto playing media equals an instant tab closure never to return.
