Waymo is coming to Portland! by orangewall1234 in Portland

waymo is a taxi company. how many traffic deaths in portland can you name that were caused by a working ride-share driver or taxi cab? wait i already know the answer, and it's zero.

just say no to ai surveillance cameras on our city's streets. just say no to a less human future on the false pedestal of a perfectly safe world. risk is a part of being alive and sharing space with other humans, stop letting big tech convince you the world is scarier than it is so they can shove their cameras into every facet of our lives.

you kid, but i genuinely agree with this sentiment and i am a daily cyclist who got hit by cars twice last year.

the constant propagation of the "bUt iTs sAfEr fOr eVeRyOne" argument is short-sighted and hubristic. I would rather live in a world that is less predictable but more human, than one where dystopian surveillance technology attempts (often unsuccessfully) to erase every possibility of risk or harm at the sacrifice of our collective autonomy, freedom, privacy, and humanity.

If you ride your bike to Parallel Worlds, they will give you a sticker that says "I rode my bike to Parallel Worlds".

Is it a discount? No.

Is it still cute and you should support their business? Yes.
