if my car doesn’t drive itself aggressively then that will signal to passers-by that I have a small penis.

You have to constantly pay rapt attention while the car is driving for you, so you probably get more agitated by it following the rules, than if you were following the rules yourself

What I don’t get is that, even if you are terminally carbrained like 99% of America (myself included), why does it matter if your robot car drives like a grandma? like I get the urge to drive aggressively when you’re behind the wheel, but if you’re letting your car drive itself, who cares? it doesn’t even save time!

Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
for real though going 20 over the speed limit on my lovely 45 commute only shaves off like 5 minutes. less than 10. it’s counterintuitive for sure but also exactly the sort of thing you could actually pay attention to if your car were driving itself

metaverse svu:

A woman in the U.K. wrote in a blog post on Medium that she experienced a real horror play out in the virtual game Horizon Worlds developed by Meta, formerly known as Facebook.

"Within 60 seconds of joining," she wrote in the post from December, "I was verbally and sexually harassed – 3-4 male avatars, with male voices, essentially, but virtually gang raped my avatar.'”

She details watching her avatar get sexually assaulted by a handful of male avatars, who took photos and sent her comments like "don’t pretend you didn’t love it.”

The woman is vice president of Metaverse Research for Kabuni Ventures, an immersive technology company.

...

Joseph Jones, president of Bosco Legal Services, an investigation agency specializing in cyber and social media, says it's unlikely Patel has a strong legal case for sexual harassment but acknowledges that harassment in the metaverse is an emerging space.

He says the case would depend on several factors, such as the specific comments people made and whether her avatar reveals any identifiable information, such as her name. Given that she doesn't have a huge following, Jones says, it's unlikely she could sue for defamation, but she could file a civil restraining order to prevent it from happening again.

I think it was a MUD.

The story feels a bit fake though, especially the thing where they took screenshots and sent them to her.

In any case, any virtual world absolutely needs a way to instablock any user, and it’s insane if Facebook haven’t implemented that yet

It happened in Second Life, but it probably also happened lots of other places.

It definitely happened in SL too (and would be something more close to «real» virtual rape since animation scripts can take control of your avatar and use it in actual animated sex, instead of Facebook’s Crossworlds where it was at most creative use of nonsexual gestures)

But the thing I was thinking about was a MUD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rape_in_Cyberspace

Americans don't understand controls as anything but social dominance measures
America itself doesn't understand its own controls as anything but social dominance measures

This especially applies to road rules where enforcement is arbitrary. They're written at the best of times to encourage safety, environmental friendliness, and good community development, but they're enforced to make driving through an area as lucrative and minority/poor-repelling as possible while instilling a sense in the rest that they Belong and are Historical Subjects with their Own Valid Opinion. And everyone knows it, so the idea of a self-driver that drives how you have to drive if you're an Other is absolutely unappealing to people buying luxury cars, which only exist as a very loud public announcement that you're Someone.

the car drives the same regardless of the setting. The setting is actually used to judge the moral character of the car owner, so that the computer can asses if it should kill the driver in any Trolley Problem scenerios

Uh yeah no poo poo this has been obvious since day 2, the techbros pushing for self-driving don't want a car that's safe, they want a car that drives like they do (ie like a colossal rear end in a top hat)

This is the half the reason self-driving got into the stupid trolley problem rabbit hole over who the car should should choose to hit if forced to swerve: simply stopping (an act the car is extremely well-equipped to do with room to spare) is completely unconscionable because the techbro in the driver's seat brakes for nobody
