I don’t think this is evidence of that

No matter what happened behind the scenes, Mamdani has a strong incentive to be a team player with the national democrats, and he’s shown he’s willing to act strategically. We’d be seeing him say this publicly even if there had been a screaming match privately

That’s the thing though, it’s not about trying to replace *a* job, it’s about trying to replace *as many jobs as possible*

It is more efficient, IF you’re in a controlled environment where you know that the floor will always be compatible with using rollers.

Musk’s imaginary scenario is having robots that can carry out countless arbitrary tasks in many different settings, and feet are more versatile in that sense.

Bipedal robots are the ones that require “serious engineering,” they’re vastly harder to design and operate than more machinelike shapes.

So far, making robots that are custom designed for their specific role has been the only feasible path, because dexterity and coordination are insanely hard to do when you want it to be capable of arbitrary tasks in an unpredictable environment

Isaac Asimov talked about this, he was of the opinion that humanoid robots would be the obvious thing to pursue because they’d be operating in a world designed for human-shaped beings to interact with

He didn’t predict it’d be so hard for computers to walk and see though lol

The vast overwhelming majority of cops are conservative guys who like republicans and are moderately racist.

That is a bad thing, but it is not “will assist in carrying out a blatantly illegal coup” bad.

A lot of people forget that Trump was still really divisive among the GOP elites back in 2016.

If they could blame him for losing a winnable fight against a long-time conservative boogeyman like Hillary, it’s very likely the neocons would have stayed in power and MAGA dies down

YOU DID WHAT

She’d been the subject of a mass harassment campaign for a long time at that point, and for some reason that particular post became a focal point for it

You’re still doing it

This isn’t about PR or campaign strategy

This would be a clear win for us. It keeps the Epstein files in the news cycle for longer and makes him look even more obviously guilty

oh come on dude you’re doing the same thing that you’re rightly annoyed at people doing to you

“ermmm is that really the campaign message we want to go with”
We’re not talking about PR!

If the government paid people $30,000 when they buy Tesla cars, many more people would be driving Teslas.

Would this mean that the American people think Elon Musk is a cool guy whose opinions on black people are normal and good?

Subsidies change behaviors.

Very excited about this.

I’m really upset that Colossal Order is no longer going to be developing Cities Skylines, but this patch sounds absolutely fantastic, big upgrade over the first game’s cycling mechanics.

We’re shitting on Nuzzi BECAUSE the other person in the saga is a disgusting murderous piece of shit! We say it all the time!

Yikes. This is not a good sign, for CS2 or for Colossal Order.

I’m glad the bike patch is coming so soon though, that’s a silver lining

The rhetorical move of the midwit abolitionists will be, you just haven’t read theory. I’ve read theory. This is explicit in Mariame Kaaba’s work. it’s all over the anarchist zines you love. The theorists who won’t go there still will not present an alternative that isn’t prison by another name.

So what is it?

Every time this topic comes up there’s prison abolitionists SAYING there’s a well thought-out non-idiot policy program but none of them ever say what it is
