Best kind of correct.
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 4 days ago:
I’m not saying it’s forever impossible, I’m saying I currently don’t trust these technologies to operate autonomously in a context where lives are at potential risk and they’ll need to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they can do so reliably before I start trusting.
- Comment on Palestinian social app Upscrolled removed from Google Play Store 5 days ago:
That’s a different type of platform though. Upscrolled = insta, Loops = tiktok.
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 5 days ago:
It hasn’t yet been used without people around who can stop the process if it goes wrong.
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 5 days ago:
I do not know that. I’d also assume the technology to close a door on a car to work very differently from that on a house because a door on a house that may not be closed properly is far less dangerous than one on a car. Also, yes, I don’t trust that 2 ton vehicle either if it claims to be autonomous.
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 5 days ago:
Call me a cynical luddite but somehow I don’t trust today’s autonomous car technology to be reliable and fool-proof enough for that mechanism not to fail catastrophically and randomly because it’s raining or someone on the other side of the street made a sudden movement or Mercury is in retrograde or the company’s stock market just dropped 592 points because investors are furious after realising they wasted money on a backup or it’s Tuesday.

… 😧 OP! HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE?! *shake OP violently*
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 6 days ago:
Giving them the ability to close their own doors just screams “kid’s arm smashed in automatic car door failure”.
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 6 days ago:
“Don’t use X” always means “it’s okay to use X if there are no alternatives but do look for alternatives”. Unless X is X. Then don’t use X.
- Comment on Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language? 1 week ago:
Yep, certain words for example really just mean “you” if taken very literally but have taken on rude undertones (temee, kisama) to convey what Western languages would use taboo words for.
- Comment on Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language? 1 week ago:
It’s sometimes said that Japanese people don’t know and don’t understand sarcasm but really they just have different ways to make you feel stupid that don’t (necessarily) register as sarcasm to Westerners, like being overly polite.

Stopped reading at Chrischan. This is simply outrage farming.

That’s what it did in the other one, a few weeks back.

- Comment on Claude Opus 4.6: This AI just passed the 'vending machine test' - and we may want to be worried about how it did 1 week ago:
Silly me, I was under the impression that the purpose of the “vending machine test” was to test whether an AI could autonomously run a vending machine (something that would make sense from an economic standpoint), not whether it could “figure out” it was in a simulation.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 1 week ago:
People who might need someone with a vessel to carry water in it if there’s an emergency.
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 1 week ago:
Sorry, meant drawer, had a brainfart. I know how to do it, but it’s more steps than in Nova and my lazy whiney monkey brain doesn’t like that :)
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 1 week ago:
Highjacking your comment to ask generally: Is there an easy way in lawnchair to put my apps into folders in the dock? Going through settings is kind of tedious and the automatic caddy thing puts half of them into some catch-all category because it can’t identify their purpose.
That’s so far the only thing that I find annoying about lawnchair. Nova spoilt me because it made that part so easy.
I’ve also not found a way to arrange my widgets without padding between them. That’s a bit unfortunate because it means my todo list doesn’t fit next to my calendar anymore but I can deal with that.

I hate this.
- Comment on everywhere 1 week ago:
English has a LOT of homophones AND it barely inflects anything. That’s certainly not “every language”.

Hence Schrödinger.
- Comment on Im curious what they will come up with 1 week ago:
It’s definitely one of those words thrown around so much it has lost any meaning.
- Comment on They wonder why nobody wants kids anymore. 1 week ago:
I think it’s fascinating how they keep doing bizarro socialism (your sick days? our sick days), just to avoid making capitalists contribute to society.
- Comment on Im curious what they will come up with 1 week ago:
I sure hope whatever they come up with will be better than AI slop.

So they’re using the voices of voice actors without paying the voice actors. Hooray.
