Drivers aren't safe and they're killing people. The FUD around this is hyperfocusing scrutiny.
The real shame here is just leaving it up to Tesla. Governments should be throwing huge piles of money towards R&D, best practice standards, and breaking down barriers to testing and implementation. Thousands of lives are being lost because we are not moving fast enough with safe self driving tech. We have the ability to do this and it's a shame it's going so slowly at the cost of driver and pedestrian lives.
You can, but there's absolutely no reason to think the community population will ignore it, once it has its own value the karma whores will arise. People literally sell high karma accounts for real money. You can't ignore the karma farmers when they are all around you and you can't ignore the fact that it shapes real user behavior toward hive-mind dribble.
Keep karma to the Gods, it is not for mortals to toy with.
More than just a headache, it starts to haunt you and degrade mood and performance. The effects literally become toxic. Doesn't feel good to cut something off either, but sometimes it's the better alternative.
Yeah, maybe implode isn't the right word. Remember what happened to slashdot? Sad fizzle is more like it. Hard to kill Lemmy maybe, but I can easily see this devolving into a few grumpy communists and crappy ads for diet supplements. I sure hope not, but there's no reason to be overly optomisitic about the tech world these days. It's all so damn sad.
That's why I avoid them
