Idk how many truth there is to this, but I saw someone else mention that they are off-duty and hired by Tesla to just stand there in uniform

With the current US government, there’s far more roadblocks to running a company ethically than turning it to absolute shit

It makes a lot more sense when you look at it in context, particularly in regards to trans and all LGBTQ+ people. These transphobic governments consider simply existing as trans to be pornographic, so they are trying to block access to educational information on us, while also compiling a list of anyone who does. It’s the exact same shit America is trying to do with KOSA

“The whole DNS system is a complete scam” says the person advocating for crypto and NFTs

Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows?

I don’t think making art in the style of a copyrighted piece of work is wrong. Like writing a fanfic in an existing world (Harry Potter, LOTR, Blade Runner, etc.) isn’t copyright infringement, it’s covered by fair use. I think Alcon are suing the wrong person. A better case for copyright infringement is the AI company who trained their AI using copyrighted material that they almost certainly did not have permission to use.

I think what they’re trying to say is that if asking AI to make something in the style of Blade Runner is copyright infringement, that opens the door to asking an artist to make something in the style of Blade Runner being copyright infringement. I don’t know how I personally feel about that, but it’s at least how I interpreted the comment.

Oh, I didn’t know that started on Kickstarter

There’s only one thing I can think of that actually succeeded out of Kickstarter, and that’s the Pebble watch. Still the best smartwatch ever made imo

Hate speech is not protected by freedom of speech. You can’t yell fire in a theater, you can’t plot someone’s death on the internet. And corporations don’t have to follow freedom of speech. They only refuse to step in because they either agree with what’s being said or don’t want to lose money.

They only did that after A LOT of backlash. Their initial stance was to do nothing. This article sums it up really well:

They lost me when they refused to do anything about Kiwi Farms. Protecting privacy is one thing, facilitating hate crimes is another.

Nope, the steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. There’s not even a mechanical emergency brake, that needs to be done electrically too.

It’s not even cool, it’s scary. What happens when this 7,000 pound brick loses power? There’s now a battering ram flying down the road with absolutely no control.
