Why are we even trying to mimic humans? Humans are pretty stupid and can be guided into even greater stupidity and evil.

That looks cool. I bet I could build that for under $1 million and with one or two years of effort.

We don't need a Grand Tour, just send individual probes -- maybe ones with landers. We can do it with today tech, without waiting for fusion to be viable.

They are good at sound bites. Most importantly though, people are more apt to believing in simplified "solutions" especially when coupled with induced fear (which abrogates concern for others, promotes categorization by "pattern", and diminished logic), without deep reasoning.

"All the intermediate things like: car can drive but you have to supervise, make no sense at all. They just make the supervisor sleep away and crash."
Strange because Tesla has millions of drivers with that and hasn't had a fatal accident in FSD mode in years. The only way to ensure FSD works is to have it in a learning mode like that. The alternative is we never have FSD and 40,000 people keep dying in traffic accidents every year because many human drivers suck and are subject to distraction or stupidity.

Almost 7 years ago, a self driving test vehicle was involved in an accident with a person who didn't look before crossing and it almost bankrupt Uber. So not sure about this thing of "no accountability" if anything there'll be more accountability. If anything can one-incident bankrupt a company it's self driving vehicles. In fact we may need legislative solutions to ensure that FSD survives incidents like that.

Humans are the ones notorious for that.

So they will basically cannibalize each brand’s sales in a death spiral until the combined company is back to being the size of what each was prior to merger. And since they’ll be in reverse momentum they will shrink into bankruptcy. The only question is will Detroit companies beat them to bankruptcy?

Oh I get it, you bought into the Elon Musk DO(UCH)E BS? How much money do you think this site makes? What you're doing is, essentially, yelling at volunteers handing you a meal in a soup kitchen. Unless you're a company like SpaceX which has the luxury of people lining up to work there, the strategy of "beat your employees until their morale improves" may not work for you. Not unless you want your business to fail spectacularly as nobody will want to work for you, as is their prerogative. This is like a billionaire telling you you don't need health insurance .. what works for them may not work for you. Oh and as for calling out waiters on not doing a good job, if you noticed your food tasting a little saltier after you yelled at them it's not because they added salt.

You really have it out for the slashdot editors huh? Show us where they touched you.

70 hours spent ordering people around.

How about working ion the biggest problem? Battery capacity?

Yes I understand what it's "for". To hype something up, now how about you understand why cinematic trailers do nothing to inform me (or anyone else) what actual gameplay is like. If they have time to construct a cinematic trailer, they have time to show some short clips/examples of what they expect gameplay to actually look like.

How about showing some gameplay?
