It’s true, but it’s also because small businesses often suck and exploit their communities, so people just stop shopping there when they have better options.

I’m not sure why so many people have rose colored glasses on for mom and pop stores, but they are just run by people trying to make a profit off of a community same as anyone else.

…from Spotify going bankrupt, they definitely would stop getting money from Spotify, though, which is clearly what we’re talking about.

Yeah they would cease to exist.

And then nobody gets anything, not even the guys just running a white noise playlist, and making money off of it.

This entire article is about them discovering issues during simulations and then fixing them before deploying to the streets.

So if your attempt is genuinely to question their intentions then it should be very obvious what those intentions are.

The only person being hyperbolic is you acting like a shill for this company

Stating facts from the article and being reasonable is hyperbole?

Even before GM, Cruise has been using their vehicles on public roads since 2020. How many kids has it killed since then?

The answer is precisely zero.

Over that same period human drivers killed about 528 pedestrian children.

Now “foul!” You may cry, as the data is for national averages versus isolated incidents, to which I would both agree and point out that Cruise has been operating in 13 major metropolitan cities now.

“Well that’s all fine and dandy, money_loo, but just you wait until the day they hit and kill a kid!”

Which just brings us back to the entire point of the article, how they are doing everything they can to insure that, y’know, their cars never hit any kids…

Did you even read the article?

We’ve just got another extremely misleading technology hating title here.

In its statement, Cruise said, “It is inaccurate to say that our AVs were not detecting or exercising appropriate caution around pedestrian children” — a claim undermined by internal Cruise materials reviewed by The Intercept and the company’s statement itself. In its response to The Intercept’s request for comment, Cruise went on to concede that, this past summer during simulation testing, it discovered that its vehicles sometimes temporarily lost track of children on the side of the road. The statement said the problem was fixed and only encountered during testing, not on public streets

So they found out during internal testing that children were sometimes being identified as adults. That’s it. It wasn’t missing kids entirely, and it never endangered a single one. They recognized a problem during testing and fixed it, meanwhile in the three months of testing to bug fix it, about 25 kids under 14 were killed by human drivers.

But whatever, just more fear mongering and hyperbole from Lemmy!

Decentralization is necessary to prevent an all eggs in one basket type of situation. An all in one would just be targeted so fast it would be worthless.

🤡

So all it takes for you to stop supporting a cause is for someone to make it political, no matter how good or helpful it is?

So say you find out your boss is stealing from you and you want to stop that from happening but then somebody makes up a stylized “bosses are thieves” logo, and now suddenly workers all over the country can’t do anything to fight against wage theft at work?

If someone says “the bosses are thieves”, they’re making a political statement and should be silenced? Please, help me understand how this works for you, because honestly it sounds like we’re gonna be losing a whole shit ton of rights in your world.

All lives literally can’t matter if you’re already excluding some in that, that’s the whole point of Black Lives Matter you doofus.

Remember, Black people count as people too, and as long as their lives don’t matter as much then the saying, “All lives matter” is false. Because if you cared about all lives, then you’d be caring about the black lives that are disproportionately harmed and murdered.

And one only needs to take a look at society here in America to see the black lives are treated way worse than white lives. Nearly all facets of our society have some built-in racism whether you’re just going to the hospital with chest pains or trying to buy or sell your house. You’re gonna get worse quality of everything just because of your skin color and that’s verifiable fact.

And yet all they want you to do is recognize that they’re being killed at a much higher rate than other people, and want you to care about that. And for some reason that triggers you so.

Saying all lives matter, and believing that is like having a life raft on a boat, and seeing some people drowning, but you decided to throw the life raft to the people at a table, eating shrimp. You know, because all lives matter. Black Lives Matter is just recognizing the drowning people and trying to help them.

It’s both because one side wants it to be to diminish its power. But at its core it’s a human rights issue. It’s the words Black Lives Matter, strange if you get upset hearing that and think it’s purely political and should be snuffed out where you don’t like facing it. 🤔

You people have some really weird ideas about liberals. Wow.

The idea behind Black Lives Matter is not a brand, though. People who support the cause are simply supporting equity and progress. These fundamentals don’t change just because one person affiliated with the marketing of the idea may be questionable.

There are multiple segments to BLM, since the fight for progress takes multiple fronts. And indeed, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, which is not affiliated with Khan-Cullors’ Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, called for “an independent investigation” to find out how the global network spends its money.

And it turns out that the reason Patrice, the woman buying homes you’re referencing in bad faith, acquired some personal wealth from having a best selling book from back in 2018, and a television deal to produce content with Warner Bros.

I’m sure her earning wealth through program advocacy and people reading stuff won’t change anything about how you feel about them, though.

Guys is it Political to not want to get killed by the police or just get seen at the hospital when you’re having chest pains?

Interesting take you have there.

No, I knew! I agreed with you they were completely useless and unhelpful, that’s more or less why I just wanted to get that guide out here, hopefully it can save just one persons hearing!

Here’s a handy guide if it helps.

I use the headphone safety feature of my phone to limit it to 80dB. Anything higher and you’re risking permanent hearing loss.

Guide.

Right, like my father who only now has been forced to retire at 70 after a covid induced blood clot behind his eye took his vision. He only had the one good eye after an accident in his teens blinded the other, and he doesn’t complain about the near total blindness, he complains about the boredom from lack of stuff to do.

But why male models?

I’ve been here a month now and that doesn’t seem to stop them, lol. At one point I was subbed to like five different tech communities, and I had to unsubscribe from three so far. This one is getting closer everyday.

I basically agree with you but for your example that’s because ChatGPT wasn’t made to return local results, nor even recent ones.

So of course it’s going to fail spectacularly at that task. It has no means to research it.
