I’ll just leave this here.

The issue isn’t morality, it’s dodging lawsuits. If you run someone over, it’s an accident. If a robot runs someone over, it’s a threat to public safety and somebody should pay. You could probably sue a person for hundreds of thousands, you can sue a company for hundreds of millions. It just adds to the fact that a…

And on top of all that, these thought experiments assume that no effort was put into fail-safes or warning systems. Why can’t the car start sounding its horn and flashing the lights when a brake failure is detected, to alert pedestrians? Why can’t the car have a separate emergency braking system? Why can’t the car…

Yes. I’ve been trying to get people to understand this everytime this /hypothetical/ comes up. Autonomous vehicles, designed properly and effectively, will not even have to make these “decisions”.

Furthermore, the notion that the pedestrians and the occupants are at equal risk is head-hurtingly idiotic. These questions present the only outcome as 100% death rate for whoever takes the brunt of the collision. That’s pure bullshit.

Oh for fuck’s sake! Can we please give up on the stupid fucking trolley problem as relates to autonomous cars?

ooo good pick... tho as far as autonomous cars go i think its a moot point.. i will never get into a car i cant control if it doesnt consider my safety its absolute priority...

dont forget that it doesnt take into account swerving into oncomming traffic at all...

ok, i’m trying it, currently on 6/13.

eh... if you want anyone to ever get into an anonymous car.. it would have to prioritize saving its occupants over anything else...

To be honest, I mostly use Netflix for original series and old television shows now. The quality of movies available are so subpar that I usually use Amazon and Hulu to complement. Now, to finally take the PlayStation Vue plunge and cut cable altogether.

What’s the point of Netflix if I can’t watch a continuous loop of Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3.

Depends on what they tossed, 80% of their content is filler garbage.

Afte throwing a Galaxy Note 7 off of a building......

A drone with a camera that is any decent is going to be so loud you’ll hear it before it’s at the window. Then, it’s going to be difficult at best for the pilot to get it close enough to the window to actually see anything, let alone hover there.

Most drones are programmed to hate rap, so it’s just doing it’s job.

Obligatory:

The year I went, one camp had set up a “Dance Dance Immolation” gameshow-type thing. They would get two people to dress up in those silver fire-proof suits, and put them on Dance Dance Revolution pads. Then they would start the game. When a contestant missed a “step” they would get blasted by a flamethrower! It was…

You sound like a sad person. For some of us, being weird doesn’t really require “trying.”

Yeah they look like they are having too much fun. We should knock other people for how they try to enjoy themselves.
