  • We Investigated Tesla’s Autopilot. It’s Scarier Than You Think - More Perfect Union

  • I think it also highlights the absurdity that the stock market has become and how it directly contributes to a culture that allows for human suffering as long as record profits are believed to be around the corner.

    I don't even understand what record profits they're expecting at this point. Their sales numbers are dropping, they're facing stiffer competition, the carbon credits and ev tax credits which benefited tesla so much are going away, and more of their newer offerings like the cybertruck and the taxi service have been absolute disasters. Somehow the company still enjoys about a $1 trillion market cap.

  • Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters

  • Special characters is just one case to cover. If the user says they want "an elephant-sized drink" what does that mean to your system? At least that is relevant to size. Now imagine complete nonsense input like the joke you responded to ("-1 beers" or "a lizard"). SQL injection isn't the only risk with handling inputs. The person who ordered 18,000 waters didn't do a SQL injection attack.

  • This is more complicated than just having the available menu items, the available modifications, and the limits on quantities to compare against. This is already available through the app/online ordering.

  • I don't know how you can think voice input is less versatile than text input, especially when a lot of voice input systems transform voice to text before processing. At least with text you get well-defined characters with a lot less variability.

  • This is handwaving, which, to be fair, describes a lot of AI "solutions". An anomaly could be as basic as a customer not wanting onions on their burger because the vast majority don't make that modification.

    Now what do you do in that situation? Force orders to never have modifications? That customization is such an important feature to the point that burger king adopted it as a slogan with "have it your way".

  • I don't even know my neighbors real names

  • I don't even know my neighbors enough to assign them labels like that. I just like keeping to myself.

  • Major US brands sound alarm over rising anti-American sentiment

  • Yep, the trade war that trump carried out with China in his first term led to China buying a lot fewer soybeans from the US, instead turning to Brazil (now even more with the second trade war). Since this time his trade war isn't limited to China, many more countries are finding alternatives. It's much harder to gain business than it is to retain it and even harder to regain business when lost.

    US corporations were happy to support trump because he'd cut taxes and regulations on them, but that won't outweigh all the business lost internationally. Instead US corporations will be relying on squeezing Americans even harder in an attempt to make up for that lost business. I suppose that's the true meaning of "America first".

  • Would you retire at 30 and live frugally?

    Jump

  • I don't think I could keep my expenses at 65% of what I spend now because I already spend as little as I can since I'm trying to save up for an early retirement. I'd love to retire as early as possible.

  • These days companies don't care because a small handful of conglomerates own everything and don't have much in the way of actual competitors to lose business to.

  • It's been downhill since 2020

  • Yeah, it's less "stability in world events" and more so the west riding high off winning the cold war.

  • Western troops in Ukraine would be ‘legitimate targets’, Putin says

    Jump

  • Are we waiting on the US to approve or disapprove every political action in the world?

    Too late. The US already has a ton of influence here and is currently content with supplying Ukraine with just enough to hold off Russia but nothing more. If the other western countries increase their support, the US will just scale back an equal amount.

  • It's possible to complain about both because the improved hammer makes the guy smashing everything with it an even bigger problem. Either way it brings attention to the issue, but I have no confidence in politicians making a change for the better at this point, they'll probably just make it even worse.
