I don't remember any trading card bans at my schools, but do remember trench coat and goth clothes bans. Edit: Not that I doubt things were banned. I meant that schools banned things almost on whims.

Another tragedy in Las Vegas! https://youtu.be/u7pV4vxD1bs The first autonomous shuttle only lasted an hour before crashing with a semi. It seems that the truck was technically at fault, but also that a human driver could've avoided the issue. Just based on personal experience, driving perfect according to the rules will not always save you if others are being morons. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Nov 9, 2017 |

“You’re a rotten driver,” I protested. “Either you ought to be more careful, or you oughtn’t to drive at all.” “I am careful.” “No, you’re not.” “Well, other people are,” she said lightly. “What’s that got to do with it?” “They’ll keep out of my way,” she insisted. “It takes two to make an accident.” “Suppose you met somebody just as careless as yourself.” “I hope I never will,” she answered. “I hate careless people. That’s why I like you.”

Cicero posted:This seems like the inevitable result of a big gaggle of smaller companies trying their hand at self-driving cars, they just don't have the resources to handle all the different scenarios, and they can't test nearly as much.

A truck backed into a totally stopped and unmoving shuttle? Clearly the shuttle's fault.

Yeah, I don’t buy that backing up was even the right move here. Beeping would have been, but just because you can back up to potentially avoid another driver doing something dangerous doesn’t mean that you should. Seems especially bad for something big and slow like a bus.

You can't really AI your way out of trucks being able to run into you when you are stopped.

You can't program a bus to not be crashed into by a truck while the bus is stationary. It's not like "the ability for trucks to crash into this while it's not moving" is some problem google would have thought to solve that this small company forgot to address.

What's interesting to me is that most of the headlines about the accident look like this:quote:Self-driving bus involved in accident on its first day quote:Self-driving bus launches in Las Vegas, gets into accident two hours later quote:Self-driving bus in crash just 2 hours after entering public service None of them are strictly wrong, but they're really misleading given that what really happened here is that the bus was hit. While stopped.

pangstrom posted:Yeah, this was my first thought as well. Gotta get clicks, I suppose. It's a mildly funny bad luck story so it's not shocking they write it like that. Anyone that takes it as a real issue with the technology is crazy but it's some pretty crap luck to only go an hour before a truck just smashes into you. So it's an understandable angle to write from.

It seems more like this is about adult use of kid's stuff not about weird chinese knockoff cartoons about injecting blue dye into babies to teach the color cyan. Like they want to demonitize this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3dUa6Msq7Y not the unsettling videos that seem like they come from slovakia by the way of india and release 30 videos an hour that all seem creepy as gently caress for no reason anyone can quite put into words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpmYpJ5a2KQ

Freakazoid_ posted:I'm hesitant to link what is basically clickbait, but there aren't many anti robot stances outside of this forum so it's something I guess? That's pretty simplistic. Of course there is always going to be work for people. At low enough labor cost, you can even just put people in a heat bath or on a exercise machine and sell their energy production. The really interesting question is if you can run a functioning free market economy and pluralistic, democratic society around that kind of "jobs".

yeah it's kind like how so many people have been 'lifted out of poverty' by having their lands expropriated and being forced to work in a sweatshop technically they're out of poverty so stop whining! technically people will have jobs (contract, delivering food or being a sex worker via app)!

The problem is that getting past the massive social upheavals to the good parts (ca. 1960s social-democracy) took a lot of unimaginable suffering. We almost killed ourselves (two times even). Now we are heading for a different kind of massive social upheaval and the same types of narrow-minded people are in charge again, preaching the same mantras. We should be working on better managing the transition/upheaval, instead of pretending that everything is fine and that it can just keep going on indefinitely, like some lovely Russian aristocrat ca. 1910 Mozi posted:Use human bodies as heat-generating machines to run robots with, you say?

Mozi posted:Use human bodies as heat-generating machines to run robots with, you say? This was something that was seriously considered a few years ago, not by robots but by libertarians. I can't find the article anymore, but the proposal was to take homeless/jobless people and confine them inside a pod with a computer and internet connection. The purpose was to generate revenue through the information gathered from their browsing. In return they got free food, water, and shelter, but were never allowed to leave the pod.

If you think Republican neo-cons are war hungry now just wait until they're able to invade other countries without risking a single American life. Quagmirish asymmetric warfare isn't going to work half as well as a deterrent against robot armies.
