I regularly see human drivers intentionally run red lights.
Not just the kind where they try to make a yellow that they clearly weren’t gonna make, but also they stop at a red light, wait to see if there’s cross traffic, and then intentionally run the red light.
This is about to breed a new generation of insufferable folks, who’ll introduce themselves as “I work at Superalignment” ala “I work at DeepMind” (no, you used to work ar Alphabet, and now you work at Google)
Let's be 100% clear on this - nobody is forcing the merchants into accepting credit cards. In fact, many don't. They do fine as cash-only businesses.
The hard economic reality is that accepting credit cards increases your sales, presumably enough to make the interchange fees worth it.
At last, Afterpay, Affirm etc. charge 600 bps (6%) interchange for their 4 split payments offer. Again, no one forces merchants to accept these payment methods, but the ones that do clearly see the benefit to the top line resulting from higher conversions.
I think this comes down to you being Norwegian (ie getting good quality govt services in exchange for your taxes). Now imagine being Greek. If folks realised they're paying 22.5% to the govt on top of everything they purchase... they wouldn't be very happy.
In 2018 an obnoxious researcher working at a company known at the time as DeepMind told me (who was working in healthtech) that "AI in healthcare is a solved problem".
It's 2023 now. AI in healthcare is a rounding error and will likely stay that way for a decade or longer. Google blew a 7 year lead of being an AI-first company to a non-profit. DeepMind is now a team within Google, similar to Ads, Drive, and Shopping Express.
