I also learned from this that IHME gave the editor of The Lancet, where they publish most of their big studies, a $100k prize.

Spooky is scary + camp.

Kind of like how Burke defined the sublime is viewing danger from a place of safety, spooky is further neutralizing danger so that it doesn't produce awe, but rather feelings like coziness, nostalgia, and a sense of being in on the joke.

“[T]here is no love after marriage. It's just that marriage is caused by love. And I think most people do not wanna say that. They don't wanna say that there's only a causal link between the thing Taylor Swift is talking about and the thing you're supposed to feel during marriage.”

So good.

How is Paramount+ involved in this? It's not owned by Disney, right?

I mean, the safety data strongly suggests that their system is already superior to human drivers. If you have reason to believe that they’re hiding safety events from regulators/investors/the public, though, you should share that widely.

And I think the problems of automated driving systems are a lot easier to solve than the problems of human drivers. Waymo can fix their cars' response to emergency vehicles with a software update. How do you fix humans who won't look for pedestrians when they're driving in cities?

Sure, human-driven cars should become a lot more automated too. I just see it as pretty obvious that a non-fatiguable robot with extra senses is going to outperform humans who speed while changing lanes and sending text messages.

Before you ask, this is adjusted for road type.

Like we just use multiples more than we use fractions in conversation?
