Really can't overstate how problematic robotaxis become at scale:
"Urban traffic is constrained by the fact that getting around by car either requires (expensively) paying someone else to drive or (inconveniently) driving oneself. Without such constraints the result could be brutal gridlock."

This is how @runforsomething.net alum do it.
Aftyn Behn has actually gone up in the polls since Republicans began attacking her as “radical.” Behn, a Tennessee Democrat with down-home style and a focus on affordability, fairness and clarity in a time of chaos, has cut through the noise of the attack ads by speaking directly to voters.
Can Aftyn Behn Stun the GOP in Tennessee Next Week?
The Democrat has a real chance to flip a deep-red congressional seat. In an exclusive interview, she explains why her bid is shaking up the politics of 2025 (and maybe 2026).

I'd encourage educators to work from the standpoint that AI was, from the off, intended as an assault on their institutions. The Venn diagram between AI evangelists and people who want to replace democracy with techno-feudalism is a circle.

And if you want techno-feudalism it would help greatly to have a population that are dependent and lack the ability to think critically. AI is a tool to facilitate the end-to-end wipeout of critical thinking.

These are the illegal orders Mark Kelly and the rest were talking about. This fucking animalistic bunch of goons and charlatans should never be obeyed.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

In Finland, kindergartens are exposing children to more mud, wild plants and moss - and finding it improves their health.

Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

I predict they will also be banned, as the consequences of deploying them at scale become manifest.
But the cities that allow them in are going to through a lot of pain first. (You'd figure we'd learn from really recent mistakes...)

I’d love to see the stats on miles driven with and without a passenger. If you put everything else aside, having an influx of empty cars driving around is also bad.
