All I can say is, ‘fuck these people’.

No one is actually this stupid.

From early in the war, sure.

Lol, even baseline DJI drone chipsets from a decade ago do frequency hopping. Many baby monitors probably do too.

Not in my experience. Most LLM answers are bullshit; and they almost never say they don’t know. Most people would just look at you and say ‘I don’t know’ instead of just making something up.

A qualified elevator technician can definitely make an elevator fail dangerously spectacularly.

They wouldn’t be qualified if they couldn’t.

The ambulance operator also gets stuck with the costs of all the ambulance rides which are never paid for - which is, statistically most - because of things like homeless folks, people giving false names, etc.

Which, notably, are so common, because it is financially ruinous to not do it.

They can’t decline transport for anyone with an emergency, regardless of ability to pay.

Well over a decade ago, it was $6500 for a couple mile ride to the nearest hospital, no emergency medical care necessary (just supervision). This was in the Bay Area, in California.

I can’t imagine it’s gotten cheaper.

This whole thing was a war of ‘yes men’ telling the big bad what he wanted to hear, even though it was insane.

Also Iran.

The US has been running on fantasy for a long time.

wow.

just before the major financial crisis, and QE?

the last 20 years of interest rates absolutely are remarkable, and reflect massive (and historically unprecedented) intervention from the central bank.

because of the near collapse of the US financial system, almost exactly 20 years ago.

Fatalities are going up in the US.

And having used those systems, they are definitely not actual improvements.

Other things may be, but not these systems. So stop lumping them in together.

And from having used these system and having them almost cause crashes? And with the increase in traffic fatalities roughly corresponding with their increased adoption?

They clearly are not helping.

Or, hear me out, just have a person drive and not try to micromanage them constantly with a shitty AI system?

Facebook’s algorithms have quite literally caused that. Nearly a decade ago. And haven’t much improved.

And is clearly (with many, many studies on the topic over a decade plus) behind the rise of right wing nationalism and the fraying social contract.

Zuck is very, very aware of this - as leaked emails show. He knows, but continues anyway, and anyone at Meta at this point who also doesn’t know is being willfully ignorant.

This is the ‘cigarettes don’t cause cancer’ argument.
