When no one was looking, Microsoft bought Minecraft. They bought it for $2.5 billion. That's as many as 2500 millions. And that's terrible.

LastInLine posted:again if a human taking a driving test went into a catatonic state upon seeing a road closed barrier would the human get a passing score? based on experience: apparently but these things aren't allowed to be driven without a safety driver, so its actually nbd if they come to a stop and hands over control when it comes across a blockaded road or the like

reminder that the system only really works on roads that have been extensively mapped and photographed and choreographed i mean, gently caress. i want a self-driving car but google's weird insistence that the technology will be perfect from the get-go is worrying
