Here is Waymo's first-ever national TV commercial, which will start airing tomorrow during the FIFA World Cup.
"We built a driver that never blinks, never gets tired, or angry; Now the Waymo driver is safer than a human one. Statistically 10x safer in the cities we serve. Not because humans aren't enough, but because they're everything."
It is 70 and sunny in New York City, we’re heading to a kite festival, and I haven’t heard the words “agent” or “token” once all morning.
Greatest city in the world.
Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies.
The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.
Today, nobody is against electricity, or electrification.
But the anti-data centre backlash we are seeing today has a precedent: the anti-electricity backlash of the early 1900s.
They thought electricity would lead to horrible things.
Here's a propaganda cartoon from then:
“Nobody in America voted for factories.
Nobody in America voted for machines.
Nobody in America voted for Industrial Revolution.
The entire fabric of our society is being changed without the will of the people.
Without a vote.”
Imagine if we killed the Industrial Revolution in the cradle… reject this populist slop.
Jesus.
>Produce ad arguing human drivers should be protected from safer autonomous vehicle competition.
>First human driver they show is using iMessage while driving.
You can't make this up.
Seeing the anti data center stuff on tik tok makes understanding how the anti vaccine and anti nuclear movements happened, not a single factual argument to be found
The founding fathers being terrified of democracy makes a lot more sense when these are your voters
A full-scale US Waymo rollout would cost ~700 full-time jobs in the funeral care industry (by saving around 35 thousand young American lives per year). Will no one think of (some of) the morticians!
