🧵
Much has been written about potential safety benefits of AVs. Given the lack of AV data transparency, I cannot speak to whether, or to what degree, AVs are safer than an average human driver. What I can say:
This is the wrong question.

We Still Don’t Know if Robotaxis Are Safer Than Human Drivers
And even if self-driving technology proves to be less dangerous, there are many better ways to improve traffic safety and prevent fatal crashes.

if you made a machine that gave people heroin the people who buy heroin from the machine are guilty of buying heroin but - and here's the important part - the person who made the heroin machine is guilty of SELLING HEROIN
No sign of this being remotely true, by the way

The Jets did it!
A dubious historical mark is at stake this week.
If the Jets don't intercept a pass on Sunday, they'll become the first team in the Super Bowl era to finish a season without a pick.
Weirder still, they'll become the first team to finish a season without a pick in over 80 years.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

Not immediately. Not perfectly. It’s a grind.
But don’t let fascists tell you they are inevitable.

None of these people are actual "nerds," none of them have any real technical abilities or non-standard interests. The only thing they bring to the table is social license to say stuff like "what if there was a doorbell camera with a gun in it"

Being "nerd-coded" now is not about being... detail-oriented, interested in non-standard things, enmeshed in a community of enthusiasts. It is now an explicitly eugenic belief that you belong to a higher form of human being and are beyond traditional morality

I think it's interesting to consider how giving your company a name from fantasy or science-fiction went from indicating playfulness and innovation to, effectively, a guarantee that you will be amoral if not actively evil

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
