Just be on Switch’s side.

Also not a book reader, but I’ve had a theory for a while that the protomolecule is basically a “higher level of intelligence” test. If you fuck it up, your solar system and species ends and the mega-advanced society that created the protomolecule doesn’t have to worry about your idiotic ass mucking around the galaxy.…

You are correct, but I think they were going for a Frenchified version of “The Desolate Place” or “the desolation” (la désolée)...(Google translate gave me “l’endroit désolée” as a better version.)

You’re right. It was a modern interpretation of cave allegory. That allegory was then extended to what if you could move/act/behave in the world of shadows. And, because those shadows are depersonalized given that they are a shadow and you are you, our actions are harmful.

Was the area Farouk’s body is buried in called “Le désolé?” That was what I thought I heard, and it being French for “the desolate” would make sense.

I think you completely misunderstood the point of that Hamm interlude, it was very clearly about the delusion of narcissism rather than anything to do with technology or Black Mirror. Technology and shadows in caves were just used as a means of illustrating the point.

Alright, stop driving distracted using the fancy cruise control.

Or hire them.

Because you are supposed to be monitoring the system the whole time and steer the vehicle if it’s going the wrong way (which is exactly what this driver did in previous cases)? You don’t wait until it warns to start paying attention. If every Tesla owner with autopilot waited for that, there would be much more…

Uber doing what it does best and doing the minimal work while skipping through legal loop holes (some illegal ones too) is going to fuck everyone over trying to progress in this arena legally. [Tesla/Google/GM/etc]

He’s great if you’re not poor.

Okay, buddy.

Every statement you made is the exact opposite of Net Neutrality.

something tells me you dont actually know how net neutrality works

The entire point of net neutrality is that content restrictions weren’t allowed, that ISPs were meant to be common carriers.

He’s (mostly) principled, but he has plenty of dumb ideas as well. I guess this is one of the times I agree with him. Too bad it didn’t mean shit.

In general I agree with you, but this crap passed 94-1 with five non-votes. The only nay vote is Rand freakin’ Paul. So this one is on everybody.

Once again the wandering morals of the GOP are in play.

Wow, I guess this game really makes you think about the consequences of your actions.
