Op zich lijkt de T nog wel een aardig bereik te hebben als je de DPG titels apart neemt.

It's not an ethical dilemma. If a HUMAN driver got into a situation where they had to choose between hitting and killing a granny or baby, we'd rightly jail them for many years for reckless/dangerous driving.
A self-driving vehicle should be incapable of operating in a manner equivalent to a reckless human driver.
If a self-driving vehicle is capable of getting into such a situation, the car manufacturer is responsible for a crime of homicide and should be punished.

Attached: 1 image It's concerning to me that this """ethical dilemma""" comes up so frequently regarding self-driving cars. Does self-driving mean *never slows or stops*? Are self-driving cars all designed after the bus in Speed?Front-End Social

If I see a granny and a baby on a footbridge over a motorway, and throw both into the path of a car, I'm glad to hear it's the car driver being jailed and not evil me.
(Of course I wouldn't do that. On the other hand the temptation to drop a heavy stone into the path, oh never mind, I wouldn't do that either)
Fact check: if the human driver was not drunk and did not flee the scene, they wouldn't even get their license suspended.

L'illuminismo oscuro e il tecnofascismo americano: le radici ideologiche del movimento MAGA - Valigia Blu

> L’evoluzione ideologica della Silicon Valley, passata da simbolo progressista a fucina di una nuova destra tecnologica, per quello che potrebbe essere definito il tecnofascismo americano.
L'immagine mostra un gruppo di persone in abiti formali, probabilmente in un contesto ufficiale. Al centro, una donna con un abito bianco sorride, accanto a un uomo calvo con un abito scuro e cravatta bordeaux. Accanto a lui, un uomo con capelli scuri e barba grigia indossa un abito nero. Sullo sfondo, si vedono altre persone, alcune con espressioni serie, in un ambiente che sembra essere un luogo di importanza, come un palazzo o un edificio governativo.

PPC are an immense live band, like really, really good, but for some reason I can't quite place I'm a bit more up and down on their studio stuff.
