This reporting is some "literally 1984" shit, with the guy thinking of the many ways the "perpetrators" could've been caught on camera in order to be punished for breaking an empty machine. Actually disturbing shit.

But then you read his bio and learn he's just another vampire. His stock portfolio is way more important to him than the drivers' jobs, the safety of the roads or the lives of the people who broke his little toy.

I worked on Google's car team in its early years and am an advisor and/or investor for car OEMs and many of the top startups in robocars, sensors, delivery robots and even some flying cars.

May this car be the first of many.

Butlerian Jihad against the AI.

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Butlerian Jihad or destroying driverless cars?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Either/or

Butlerian Jihad is from Dune (fiction). Not sure about whether it is good or not but from the synopsis I just read it doesn't sound bad.

Destroying driverless cars in California I think is complicated. It's not good to see IMO. But there is this whole thing about how some places in California have become sort of a testing ground of this technology and the locals have had no input in this. Usually big corporations like Waymo have a direct channel to politicians and after small bumps they can do whatever they want. I don't know the details because I don't care about local Californian politics but hearsay that is the gist I got. With this context this act of spontaneous vandalism should be seen not as a revolt against technology but against corporations like Waymo and the politicians that they have in their pockets.

Butlerian jihad was direct cause setting up the of 15+ millenia of caste system, feudalism, slavery, suspicious tranhumanist sects preying on humanity, horrors of the Golden Path and its consequences, and multigalactic scale genocide in the scattering. So i would say, pretty bad.
