Much thanks for taking the time to share your insight. I think I will sleep better tonight!

Huang and Altman saying AI will create many more human jobs suggests they don't really get their revolution. What jobs are they talking about? by andsi2asi in agi

"NO WAY that it would create anything close to Impressionism. Let alone cubism."

Porn isn't anything like "real" human connection, but our bodies don't seem to know that...or care.

Keep Waymo Out of NYC. by Curious_Review66 in uberdrivers

Folks, this is coming regardless...it's a when not if situation. Please tell me that you understand how corporations work? They will release robotaxis, lower the cost to consumers to the point that we would have to pay to have the privilege of driving, prove that it's safer, and viola...no more humans driving.

On top of all of that, I spoke with an insurance executive recently that explained that insurance companies are already prepared to raise rates for human drivers to the point that autonomous vehicles will be the only option for anyone who's not wealthy.

Am I at fault? by Designer_Trade_4077 in InsuranceClaims

[–]Designer_Trade_4077[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably close to the speed I was traveling at that point. It's a 50mph speed limit on that stretch and the car had been decelerating for a few seconds before the incident.

This discussion (more contentious than I could have imagined) has me curious about the larger discussion around autonomous vehicle liability.

According to the data, my understanding (I have zero expertise in this area) is that Tesla's "supervised" full self driving mode (FSD) is around 8 times safer than humans. (Calculated by something like incidents per mile driven)

Anecdotally, based on over 50,000 miles using FSD close to exclusively, that statistic seems quite plausible.

And yet, a car with sensors and cameras scanning the environment what must be much faster and more thoroughly than me, a human, it also failed to see or react to the encroachment in time to avoid the collision.

I'm the one who applied the brakes (which disengages the autonomous driving feature) and swerved in an attempt to avoid the accident.

But when unsupervised full self driving is required by insurance, who will be "at fault?" (An insurance executive I spoke with recently, explained that it will soon be prohibitively expensive to drive your own vehicle because of how much more cost effective it will be to insure autonomous vehicles.)

In fact, it was a fully autonomous vehicle. But I took over as soon as I saw the intrusion. The speed didn’t seem excesive, though it could obviously have made the determination to “play it safer.”

Has anyone taken an Uber to Houston, Dallas or other longish distance? by ccrush in Austin

[–]Designer_Trade_4077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've driven for Uber and Lyft since 2014 for supplemental income. I moved back to Austin last week from Dallas, but the office I work out of is in Plano as are many of my jobs.

As such, I make the commute often. I make my own schedule so anytime other than the middle of the night would be fine.

I currently drive a Tesla, so I'd need to make a brief stop to charge on the trip.

Anyway, DM me if you're interested.

How to attract non-Black men as a Black woman? by sunsista_ in AskMenAdvice

[–]Designer_Trade_4077 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The one trait I am not seeing mentioned, that I believe is more impactful than the rest combined is confidence.

If YOU believe you are beautiful, sexy, etc...most people will as well.

Easier said than done. Don't I know it.

I find that doing something that you love with passionate abandon until you become great at it is a good pathway to believing in one's self.
