I’ve been asking why cars don’t have more obvious visual indicators since I was like 8 years old.

It’s pretty weird that we’re basically just working with 2 sets of lights and blinkers at this point.

For AV’s specifically, a pretty significant/obvious missed feature is some indicator that the car “sees” you. Pedestrians make eye contact with drivers to check if crossing is safe. How is there no equivalent for AV’s??? It’s such an obvious miss.

It’s okay. I’ve misspelled “peek” as “peak” multiple times in the last week.

English just be like that.

Lot of armchair philosophists disagreeing with you, but you’re right.

Sure, some people make art for art’s sake. But it doesn’t put food on the table. Like it or not, most popular media is created at least in part as a source of income for the creator.

It’s fine to pirate things if you actually can’t/wouldn’t otherwise engage with the media. But at least be honest with yourself and recognize that you’re stealing income from the creator.

It will also contradict itself and make the same mistakes even if you point them out.

Can be useful as a starting point, but you basically need to fact check everything it says.

Wait… am I an AI?

Might have to block this bot if it posts puff piece CEO bullshit under the guise of “technology.”

Anybody who has a skill they’re paid for?

Anybody who respects IP?

Anybody who can empathize?

Damn. This makes so much sense but is also so disheartening.

They had essentially a perfect product and a total monopoly over their market. Apparently, even that isn’t enough for some executives.

What’s even the point of trying to double or triple dip at that point? Maybe they made more money in the decade they got away with it, but the product is considerably worse than it used to be and now their dirty laundry is out in the open.

Shit’s depressing.

That’s a B+! Fire all our engineers immediately.

Yeah this is straight up illegal. The FTC and EU don’t give a shit if this was “just a test” or “a whoopsie doopsie.”

Big ol’ fine incoming for every day this isn’t fixed.

You know you can buy literally the cars you wanted as a teenager right?

Staying on the BMW thread, you can get a mint E46 or E9X M3 for a fraction of the cost of the new ones. Just gotta find one where the owner has taken care of it and kept service records.

I’m reasonably confident that the cost to outfit officers with body cams and to give them all raises so they play ball would be significantly less than tax payers already cover in terms of police abuse settlements (ignoring the other benefits of making officers accountable for their actions).

I mean I’ve never used either of those apps and my computer doesn’t even have a camera.

Sounds like textbook bloatware to me… 🤷‍♀️

FYI emojis work fine 🤷‍♀️
