  • Cruise CEO says SF ‘should be rolling out the red carpet’ for robotaxis, threatens to maybe leave town

  • As the other guy said. Demanding perfection is insane - we don't demand that from human drivers either. As long as it's better than humans (preferably by a long shot), I'm all in favour.

  • How do you define enshittification?

    I don't. I use Doctorows definition.

    If anything, if you prefer signal to WhatsApp (I do), you should be happy with its enshittification - because that means it's killing itself. But it's not, and it's already shit, and its users are okay with that.

    adding paid promotions to something that never had them is always the beginning

    • They're not paid
    • They're not promotions
    • It's opt-in

    It's basically a way to keep up with events you're already interested in (your favourite band, local soccer club, etc). You're complaining about an optional feature you don't want to use, that doesn't even exist yet, and misrepresent it as ads.

  • How is this turning it into a data farm? It did that when it plundered your address book, and kept track of who you messaged when.

    Sure, they will probably stay monetizing it a few years from now, but right now they aren't. Enshittification is a term with a very specific meaning, and it does not mean "features I don't like".
