    Well, gay marriage did become a thing so I don't see why not for self driving cars

    Originally posted by Lanny It was part of the matrix, maybe one of the sequels, but a representative of the robots at one point says that they tried making the matrix that was a utopia but no one liked it, they rejected it and woke up. Implying that suffering was so endemic to human psychology that we couldn't exist without it. It's an ugly but popular head of the essentialist hydradic dogma. The matrix represents the triumph of the subjective, the honest admittance to our fundamentally subjective existence and acknowledgement of the significance of that, the admittance that we are what we experience and nothing more. It's only through small minded, conservative and fearful mindsets that we fear a utopia. So beaten are we by this world that so many of us think anything better must be a lie, secretly terrible. Go take some crazy ass drugs, learn what ecstasy is (the experience, not MDM), come to learn how fundamentally we are subjective and realize that there is no natural bound on subjectivity, that we can experience anything at any time. Physical correspondence means nothing, souls who have truthfully confronted the limitations of their experience, their subjectivity, realize there is no reason utopia is beyond reach, why suffering is no necessary part of the human condition.



    That's exactly the kind of small minded fear the prevents no only our society from being happy but you personally. You think there is no good without the bad but that's a slave mentality, an inexplicable love of what is bad for you. So broken are we that we can't even truly imagine a life that isn't as dysfunctional as this one, that's the real tragedy here.

    P.S. I'm drunk as shit

    one mans meat is another mans poison. how the hell is anybody gonna get 7 billion people to agree on what utopia actually looks like?

    Subjugate yourself to AGI. I no longer have an ultimate concern for human judgement and am not under the illusion that it may not well be critically flawed. We are absolutely pitiful creatures, just as 1st worlders may pity a 3rd on cold and dark night, waiting alone for a late bus that may never arrive.

    Drink your alcohol and tell yourself it's going to be alright, hold someone close to you.

    Don't paint the rest of the race with the same defective brush that miscreated you.

    It think the drivers will be able to turn the self drive on and off but it will be mandatory for freeway driving.
    The reasoning will be the freeway traffic can be controlled much like the way internet traffic is controlled.
    Now the real question is were is my fucking flying car?

    Honestly I think they sound totally fuck tarded no matter how advanced they become. I'm going to laugh when someone really important (or not) dies from being ran over by one of these things.

    Yes it will happen and overall it will make transportation safer, but like the Unabomber said, as technology/the system continues to grow it will continue to erode humanity and freedom, changing human behavior to suit the needs of the system, and then one day before you know it we won't even be humans anymore. So it goes.

    thats a something called progress.

    if you compare us to our cavemen ancestors we're almost alien to them. we're not the human our cavemen ancestors are,

    so neither will our technologically enhanced descendants be the kind of human we are.

    Originally posted by Lanny I think it will happen and it'll be a good thing. Not because I have any particular faith in tech companies or regulatory authorities but because it's a convenient thing that will make an incremental improvement in the lives of first world citizens i.e. it's the type of technology who people who are involved in making technology actually give a shit about.

    When I was in school I took an ethics in sci/tech course and one of the hypotheticals that came up was this: you're in a self driving car going over a bridge. A school bus in front of you full of children hits the breaks, your car has this information and also knows it can't stop in time to avoid the bus. The car has a "choice" to hit the bus likely killing all the kids but deploying airbags and saving your probably or swerving off the bridge almost certainly killing you but keeping the expected death toll low (one person vs. the majority of a full bus). What is joe programmer writing implementing the car's logic supposed to do? I thought the answer was pretty obvious, responsibility to minimize loss of human life far exceeds a company's duty to its customers. It seems pretty uncontroversial that a pharmaceutical company manufacturing like thalidomide for example, knowing the risks and marketing it to pregnant women, is doing something wrong even if its customers understand the consequences. Likewise we shouldn't sell people cars that are going to increase the total deathtoll just to soothe their anxieties (indeed it would even, in aggregate, put such customers at greater risk since they're more likely to be on the other side of that kind of dichotomy). It was surprising how mixed reactions to that case are, a lot of people really believe that there's something wrong with a car that might sacrifice its driver for the greater good.

    yeah i'm not paying thousands of dollars for something that will choose to kill me over other people.

    besides, a car hitting a bus is unlikely to kill all the occupants of the bus, maybe 2 or 3 at best. fuck am i an heroing to prevent that. fucking tough shit for getting on that bus that day, that's just how it goes.

    I think an actual automated car would automatically leave enough breaking distance between itself and other vehicles that it wouldn't have to "swerve off the bridge" so scenarios like that would be unlikely.
