I mean they act like these cars haven't done anything to anybody until this time when someone died and heck it wasn't even their fault.I'm pretty sure there was an AI car that saw a person in the road, collided with them and then stopped seeing the person in the road and then kept driving because it didn't detect the person under the car

So many of the articles are paywalled but I did find Cruise Didn't Tell Anyone That A Woman Was Dragged 20 Feet After Being Pushed Into Robotaxi and [Woman dragged by Cruise robotaxi gets over $8M settlement: Report].

Now it seems like initially it was reported that Cruise's car hit the pedestrian and that was incorrect.

What Cruise did not say, and what the DMV revealed Tuesday, is that after sitting still for an unspecified period of time, the robotaxi began moving forward at about 7 mph, dragging the woman with it for 20 feet.

But hey she lived and got between 8-12 million dollars. So I guess it's not a problem. Wonder if they've taught the cars to detect human screaming yet.

oooooh. A libertarian. That explains the lack of reading comprehension and excessive autofill. Never mind then. I thought you mattered.

I don't know how on earth I missed that. I was literally alive and an adult and I remember someone telling me about freedom fries and suddenly all the jokes I'd seen made sense.

I still have someone the list someone made where they listed all the companies people thought were french but weren't. Like French's mustard had to put out a statement.

I mean with the money they're making I can't say I haven't been tempted. I recently discovered JJJacksFilms and his videos are about how stupid reaction channels are. But looking at it I'm seeing channels that require 2% effort that are pulling down 40-60k USD if not more. Young channels too. Some of them not even showing faces. I consider myself generally ethical.. but I'm poor. I can be bought. Heck if I could get an extra 60k for like two years and then stop. I kinda might throw all the artists and actual creatives under the bus for that payola.

No. iirc. it's banning the social media app owned by the Bytedance owned by the Chinese. Which is why it's also gonna hit Lemon8 (whatever that is) and like two other apps the company does. So literally changing the name would be pointless.

That said yes the ban should be on the actions and it should hit across the board with Facebook, instagram, twitter and all the others. I think TikTok is a dumb app and I'm still baffled at the idea that so many articles keep coming out saying kids use TikTok instead of Google. Because that's like saying new chefs use a Ford F150 instead of a Chef's Knife.

Yeah exactly. it's the equivalent to saying "SchmaSmortion" and then going "They didn't say abortion it's a totally different word". You don't just say "red book" willy nilly in China.

I think the argument being made was that justice certainly hasn't been blind. Some people get justice. Some people get Unconditional Discharge. Capitalism is working it's hardest to destroy us and free speech is being taken away... hence the new title of "fascism".

I recently started getting emails for a dude named Derrick. Just basic stuff like hospital verification and check-in notices. I got a survey to respond how well his endoscopy went. When I started getting these I remembered it's been a while since I got a cell phone bill for Cheryl in Lousiana whose phone bills i used to get all the time. At least the young girl who signed up for a sephora coupon didn't put her name on the account and I thought was just making ajoke email but based on Derrick's last name I think she really used a shortened version of her last name and it ended up being my email. So I went into and took over the account, changed the password and changed the email.

All of this of course is nothing compared to the relentless barrage of emails my sister gets from her American counter part. And her email address is literally her name. And the counter part's name is NOTHING like hers. And she gets like 6-7 different types of emails all from this person.

I'd argue that's literally what the whole point of the article is. They're doing "Forgot my password" with apps.

People were raving about Juror #2. Heretic I hear good things about though I swear there is a movie out fairly recently that had the same premise but with male missionaries not female. Werewolves aren't new to movies but this isn't based on anything other than a concept. Kiwi film Y2K looks amusing to me. Elevation, Subserviance, There are original movies all over the place. Some of them are trash. Some are excellent. But they're there. And just because it's not original doesn't mean it isn't different and new lotta stuff counts as unoriginal even though it's based on TV Shows no one remember (The Fall Guys) or books people haven't read (The Wild Robot, Conclave).

Podcasts are a long form content but anything more than say 80 minutes is just way too long. Especially for these 5-7 day a week shows. I deally should be able to burn a podcast to a CD and then tune in next week.

Podcasts are part of my media diet they don't need to be my entire diet. If your podcast is 2+ hours long and done 5 days a week when I do I have time to listen to other shows. I just don't see the appeal. I remember when getting a 2 hour pod cast was a special episode in my feed but having that three or four or five hours regularly like more than once a week is just way way too much.

I don't know if you're aware but anonymous sperm donations are often paid and thus it's traditionally seen as something you do to make a "quick buck". Hence his statement about wanting to "destigmatize the whole notion of sperm donation". Because it's seen as just something grubby dudes do to make money. Now the reality is probably different but the social understanding isn't that far removed from it.

There is this disease that happens with rich people where it rots their brains and one of the common symptoms (far far too common) is this misconception that they're special and better than everyone and therefore they should be obligated to have more children to prevent Idiocracy. A lot of these people watched Idiocracy and ironically treat it like a documentary. So they try to have as many kids as possible because their genetics are "special" and "benefit mankind" see also Musk, Elon.

I mean there's lots of reasons to not like anime but "badly drawn and animated" is a weird choice. I mean there are aesthetic choices and cultural difference but the actual quality of anime is imo pretty unquestionably excellent (as a whole) there's obviously bad anime and good anime from a purely mechanical perspective but most of it looks really good now. If you're gonna dislike anime you'd have a better argument with the weird proportions, over sexualization, cringe screaming, repetitive narratives, and hype active movement.
