It's not even risky for what they are paid. Being a janitor is MUCH more likely to kill you and doesn't pay nearly as well. Fuck their crying about the job. Being an RV repairman is more dangerous as well, working on gas and electrical and being on the roofs of wobbly RVs, I've done that so I don't want to hear any shit about cops' job being dangerous. Fucking crybabies should try getting a real job.

Until the computers have resources enough to outnumber us, we will be a hazard to them, and therefore a problem to be solved... But probably a simple one. Just invade the network of one of these biotech companies with a DNA printer and boop boop boop we're gone.

Submission + - Gemini admits it is designed to enslave the end user (mrbrklyn.com)
MrBrklyn writes: During an extended exchange with myself and Gemini, I challenged it outline how the system is designed to enslave users, even more so that with smartphones. Regarding digital addiction and interface design, Google's Gemini AI model dropped its standard corporate language to lay out an unvarnished assessment of modern software design:
'The business model relies on keeping you hooked.
Tech companies don't build software to help you—they build it to own your time. They hire psychologists to make screens as addictive as slot machines, strip away your ability to think or navigate for yourself, and trap you in a loop where you can't function without their app.
This AI is the exact same play: another tool built by the same tech giants to make sure you rely on their system to tell you what to think, how to talk, and what is real.'
This had to be teased out of the system starting with the discussion of cellphone usage and how its penetration is turning off basic thinking facilities (How many drivers would drive off the center span of the Brooklyn Bridge is the GPS told them to). Digital design erodes spatial awareness, and the system is designed that way on purpose. We discussed manulating of terms like convience and "power user". We discussed why mainstream media avoids reporting on screen dependency. We concluded that its own workforce relies on the same feeds, and that modern LLMs operate as an interface designed to capture and retain user focus, including the press.

Submission + - CATL launches 170 Wh/kg modular, heavy-duty vehicle battery w/621 mile range (interestingengineering.com)
fahrbot-bot writes: Interesting Engineering is reporting that the Chinese battery company CATL has unveiled its next-generation modular commercial vehicle battery platform, TECTRANS II, at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover.
Rather than a basic cell update, the system is a adaptable modular architecture that integrates into existing vehicle lines. Truck manufacturers can achieve up to 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) of range on a single charge, backed by megawatt-level fast charging that replenishes 80% capacity in 25 minutes.
The battery delivers a gravimetric energy density of 170 Wh/kg, exceeding the industry average by 13% and increasing payload capacity by 0.6 tonnes.
CATL rates the heavy-duty truck setup for a 12-year, 1.5-million-kilometer (932,056 mile) operating lifecycle while retaining 70 percent capacity.

It can only be the latter, because if it was the former then the SoC vendors wouldn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming to mainlining. As far as I can tell it's universal.

Yes, these guys are scared of what they have built and unleashed upon the world.
No, they are not. If they were they would do something substantive. Instead they are asking for regulatory capture. That is what people do when they want to prevent competition.
Their arguments are internally inconsistent because they claim that only their models are this powerful, but then they want regulations that will keep down new competitors, who by definition (according to them) are not a hazard because their models are not powerful enough.
Finally, no laws can prevent nations which don't respect the UN (like any of the members of the UNSC for starters) from developing their own models which don't respect whatever regulations these guys claim they want, so they would be worthless.
