AI was supposed to take away the boring parts of the job, not the entire job. But here we are: we automated the ladder so efficiently it vanished. On the bright side, at least we won’t have to argue about tabs vs spaces when none of us can get any work.

Windows 11 is bad but will only get worse with AI updates.

Absolutely, the OP's argument doesn't hold water. Previous dangers have been discussed and discussed (and are still discussed if you look for it), no need to linger on past things and ignore new dangers. Also since a lot of new money is being poured into AI/AI products unlike harmful past industries such as tobacco, it's probably the right thing to be skeptical of any claims this industry is making, to inspect carefully and criticize what we think is wrong.

What exactly do people have against DHH? I only recall people being upset when DHH banned political discussion within the office of 37signals. Besides that, I had no idea people were upset with him.

There are quite a few that I just found out today. Defending Andrew Tate for example. Andrew Tate is a predator/entrepreneur that I really is making the world a worse place.

Compromise to what, to reopen the Government?

If they do so cleanly otherwise they'll dump their externalities on the rest of us.

No thoughts on pedestrians? With no traffic lights it'd be a total nightmare to be a pedestrian

You could still have pedestrian crossings with buttons etc which signal the cars to stop, just the same logic as we have now. Maybe even physical lights for redundancy. Pedestrians are pretty rare in most places though so this shouldn't slow things down too much.

And if the button doesn't work, what should pedestrians do?

Walk? Waymo already stops at crosswalks (marked or unmarked) if a pedestrian looks like they are crossing or starting to cross. That is more than I can say for human drivers. I’m confused why you don’t think this is just a win for pedestrians given how messed up things are now.

More likely that Waymo's will make it a paradise for pedestrians. It should be possible to cross any road at any point without so much as looking either way.

My Tesla FSD v14 will wait for any pedestrian stepping or approaching stepping into the road.

No, anywhere as far as data goes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

> while operating in the US

While having anything to do with America or the U.S. dollar.

Yes, the product is terrible and easily beat out by a competitor. However, most people who are forced to use it is by dictate their own company CIO, hence MS has captive audiences.
