@IRMAARetirement@JohnStossel I think that'll be a net good. That and wouldn't be a stretch for a small tax to be put on self driving vehicles that can offset that. I think tickets accounted for around 9 billion around the entirety of the US, so that's not too crazy if self driving cars are ubiquitous.
@dothejackal@southerngoth999@ChinaPoliSci@imjenell So Kamala lost because leftists withheld their votes? I'm getting mixed signals, because every other argument I have with the DSA types claims the exact opposite and that no amount of vote withholding from their end made any difference in the 2024 general election.
@IRMAARetirement@JohnStossel Insurance companies will make more money short term. Long term will be a different story. Though I am not sure how self driving cars would cause local governments to lose money.
@kilday_morgan They won't because that's too hard for them. They'll instead try to usurp control of the Democrat infrastructure instead of building their own party.
Mainstream Dems need to prepare to engage in factionalism where both groups hate each other.
I selfishly want the World Cup hosted in America every year. Seeing all these folk come from all over the world and have a good time has me feeling so happy
@Johnny_photog@LiberalHegemony The totenkopf is esoteric? Nazi in quotes? That's certainly a novel interpretation you got there. Not at all weird or frightening
@tszzl I agree that everyone would be better off if these models weren't conscious. I just worry that it can't be avoided. Sorta like a natural consequence of building models at a certain level (that level being unknown to me)
@bryanculbertson@lthlnkso What do you mean by held exempt from their harms? I don't think anyone is saying data centers ought be exempt from any direct or indirect harm they may cause through their operation or construction.
@bryanculbertson@lthlnkso The contaminated well water would've come from many forms of construction. To remain consistent, you would want a construction moratorium near residential areas that use well water. Would that be better or do you just find AI to be icky or something?
@bryanculbertson@lthlnkso No, it's how you get data center moratoriums and get people spooked about AI and never actually address the actual issues. It's just populist garbage
