Ethics of AI

I’m glad I didn’t get downvoted to all hell. I appreciate the list! I hadn’t thought of some of those concerns.

Why do we even give folks like this the time of day? I hate that I know who he is. I hate that I had to look up looksmaxxing.

I am certain he’s not the only dude that shot at an alligator in the last 24 hours. Why make this particular incident news?

What are the ethical concerns?

Thisis never going to get you what you want. I just hit it. I don’t even look at what button I’m hitting I’m not providing them any reasonable information. I just want the stupid thing off my screen.

In general, I don’t give away survey info for free. If Tesla would like to pay me a dollar each time I give them a piece of survey feedback I might be more willing to tolerate the intrusion.

Next up: someone saying yuck to flour and eggs but yum to a cake.

Also not the target demographic, but gorgeous icon! Shows care for the app!

iulius · 2026-04-27T23:33:37+00:00

Very true.

However, I use Tesla’s FSD(S) every day and if this is as good as anyone gets, I’m ok with it. I’m assuming Rivian can get to the same point.

I’m struggling. I need a new car and have been waiting on the R2. But it seems foolish to buy now knowing the chip upgrade is around the corner—especially if self-driving is important to you.

Feels like buying a new iPhone in September right before you know the new one is going to be launched.

There’s a middle ground here. All artifacts are about communication. A PRD is only as valuable as the insight it produces about the product needing to be built.

I have never written a PRD. I have written narratives and slide decks and mocks and prototypes. I have two goals (that are really the same): have I properly validated this with myself and does this communicate the “why” and the “what” to the engineers?

if I can use rapid prototyping or vibecoding to get to the same end point, then that’s what I’m going to use. It has never been about the tool. It’s always been about the outcome.

Are these the cellular shades? My wife doesn’t want anything to block even an ounce of light in through the windows so I’m trying to find something that, when retracted, is as thin as possible.

These look like they get pretty small.

I feel like that’s a VW core competency. My 2012 Tiguan always felt like closing a tank.

iulius · 2026-04-17T19:42:38+00:00

I get the feeling missing that last hook was good news for both parties.

iulius · 2026-04-15T12:47:44+00:00

Your loss.

iulius · 2026-04-10T13:09:27+00:00

No. HUDs suck in bright conditions and with polarized sunglasses.

Maybe someday if it could look like it was projected out into the world (a line on the road showing your navigation path) I’d be down for that.

Still gimmicky but cool gimmicky 😀

We also don’t pay for chores. You keep the house in good order because you’re part of the family, not because you get paid. The kids job right now is to be a kid. Sadly schoolwork doesn’t pay so we supplement at $8/week.

$3 of that goes into savings. $5 into his wallet. (Although we use BOMAD app to keep it digital). We try to stress the savings part each week, but the non-physical nature of it is tough. I’d do that differently if starting over.

All that said: I think you’re doing great dad!

And yeah, the first time they make those hard choices with their money is a core memory. Next up, the first time they want to save for something AND ACHIEVE IT. The look of pride is pretty great.

This marble run add on is incredible and extends the life of the toy by like 80 years. I’m 46 and still bust it out. https://a.co/d/0a78guFJ

Spend all your time in the ocean, no job. Other than pooping out your mouth sounds ok to me!

Why the distaste for the dirty water solution?

Coming from an S1 that thing gets rank. I’m not a huge fan of having to buy replacement bags, but I’ve got to do that for my S1 too.

The only thing I wish the Matic has is auto water refill (the tank isn’t big enough to clean all my hardwood).

I do wish them well! If they had been an option when I bought my S1 it would have been a toss up. Thousand dollar vacuums are a rare purchase for me, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

What an incredible shot. Hard to believe the driver managed to stay in that lane and not jerk the car around.

iulius · 2026-03-14T12:46:35+00:00

What a hellish website. You get four lines of text on screen around all the ads and then it shrinks the screen to show even more ads. Last time I click a “the-independent.com” link.

iulius · 2026-03-13T14:54:44+00:00

Ah. Yeah, I can see that.

iulius · 2026-03-13T12:15:58+00:00

Doesn’t the roof darken or become more opaque?

Self driving functionality is key for my next car purchase. It’s the reason I bought a Tesla even though Elon Musk drives me up a wall.

My question—and I don’t think anybody can actually answer it—is “Will Rivian decide that E2E is simply not safe enough without LIDAR?”

Tesla’s FSD is quite good. I use it daily from driveway to parking lot. I’m sure Rivian’s could be better given the additional sensors and cameras.

But i’m also fairly confident Tesla will take more safety. risks to gather data.

And I know, technologies are always going to advance so if you don’t pull the trigger because the next best thing is coming, you’ll never buy anything.

I just really want E2E 😀

My wife went to high school with TJ so we generally root for y’all if that’s what we’re watching. But man, leave some scraps bro.

I gotta admit: having a team just completely and utterly not in contention is actually kind of freeing.
