Just like a software engineer who gets sick or has to pick up their kids or has an appointment. We're used to this, oddly.

It's actually nothing like that, and is surely not how it's marketed or sold. I guess you're OK paying a monthly fee for Internet and having the access be unavailable for random parts of your working day because you want to anthropomorphize it? The defense with which people will go to bat for these shitty companies is wild.

It's called compassion. We accept that humans are imperfect because we too are human and imperfect and it's the right thing to do.

We should hold corporations valued in billions to a higher standard than a single person trying to care for their family.

I'd argue that it's not even corporations anymore of which we should try to hold accountable. It's very clear who is making these calls as the players involved (Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Amodei, Thiel, Karp, Luckey, Langley, Nadella, Bezos, Pichai, Tann, etc) want nothing more than to be in the limelight and "preach" to the masses that they know best. They're more brazen year over year as they gain confidence in their unchecked power and continued accrual of wealth. The more money the more disconnected from reality and the stronger assumptions they build. And they have zero compassion. All of these people are dangerous to humanity individually, but when you start to realize how many have emerged and have no filter or checked powers publicly that becomes a truly terrifying thing.

I've recently started reading "End Times Fascism" [0] and it truly encompasses where we are at, how we got here and the bleak future we may be in for if we don't get in front of this now. But this book definitely highlights a lot of what some of the tech community has been seeing and hand waving about for years. The worn out trope that we should hold corporations accountable doesn't work. We should hold the people at the top accountable like other nations do because if they want the limelight then they should bear the responsibility that comes with abuses. The US is becoming a caste system by design. National surveillance, erosion of access to resources for personal compute, bought and paid for politicians and laws that don't apply to the wealthy.

Sure, software engineers have less than two nines. :)

The ordinance does not prohibit a pet deposit.

No, that was already separately prohibited (capped extremely low). Lol.

Also, being able to stop down aperture will have positive impacts on video in daylight.

Å - long press "a" on the ios keyboard and you get a whole list, slide your finger to the one you want, and let go.

Yes.

Yeah, because GDPR and AI laws in the EU conflict with each other and they haven't resolved it yet.

You don't need to share the original image with everyone, just like how journalists don't share their audio recordings from interviews with everyone. You share with an editor. Or a court.

Yes, which is why this doesn't really do much. Readers still have to primarily rely on trust for whether or not they believe the news and who is reporting it.

There's no situation with any technology where you would not have to do that.

This is correct (from someone who has worked on software to do this). Processing images for the 3D walkthroughs in real estate sometimes does this too.

I guess I'm missing something? I took a Tesla cab with no human in it last week.

Yeah, it is very good, but that’s only in roughly 1100 sq miles in the US. The long tail of edge cases is exponentially harder than the rest of it. They’re improving quite quickly was my point, and if anyone stands to pull it off, I’d bet on them pulling it off first.
