  So, how does this work? Were people actually developing a game that will never be seen? Or did they likely stop working on this years ago and just forgot to tell the world?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt they’re doing a full OS wipe when an accident occurs. So PII data would still be on there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is a good point. Also, another comment said it’s possible the data snapshot is very large, so it’s not intended to be stored locally.

  Either way, if you are sending data about my car to a server, it better be easy for me to get this data if needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I took a shot of everclear one time and felt my throat close up immediately. I couldn’t breath and felt panic for what felt like 2 minutes but was actually just 10 seconds. I imagine adding hot sauce would have ended me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Within about three minutes of the crash, the Model S uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers, the “Mothership”, and received an acknowledgement. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access.

  Holy fucking shit. What is the purpose of deleting the data on the vehicle other than to sabotage the owner of the vehicle?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While Tesla said that McGee was solely responsible, as the driver of the car, McGee told the court that he thought Autopilot “would assist me should I have a failure or should I miss something, should I make a mistake,” a perception that Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk has done much to foster with highly misleading statistics that paint an impression of a brand that is much safer than in reality.

  Here’s the thing, Tesla’s marketing of autopilot was much different than the reality. Sure, the fine print might have said having your foot on the gas would shut down autopilot, but the marketing made autopilot sound much more powerful. This guy put his trust in how the vehicle was marketed, and somebody died as a result.

  My car, for instance, does not have self driving, but it will still brake if it detects I am going to hit something. Even when my foot is on the gas. It is not unreasonable to think a car marketed the way Tesla was marketed would have similar features.

  Lastly, Tesla’s valuation as a company was based on this same marketing, not the fine print. So not only did the marketing put people in danger, but Tesla profited massively from it. They should be held responsible for this.

  Good point. This is a pilot program for Microsoft. All negative press gets associated with King. Even the Wikipedia shows “Activision” as the parent company as if to buffer negative news from Microsoft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The company behind Candy Crush is preparing to lay off around 200 employees amid a push to replace designers, researchers, and creative staff with AI.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While most companies replacing employees with AI usually ends in failure for the company, I believe AI will be able to make games like this just as effectively, if not more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I very much get the first point. Victims need to be protected at all costs. Even if it means the public doesn’t get to know things.

  To the second point, the way Trump handled it felt very much like “case closed, nothing to see here”. This does not feel like justice is going to be served.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible they were protecting their own. You don’t release only the parts that implicate your opponents and leave out the parts that implicate your friends.

  I think it’s also possible there wasn’t any smoking gun that directly implicated anybody. Only loose associations to Epstein that we already were aware of.

  So if they did release it, Republicans wouldn’t believe anything in it that made them look bad, and Democrats wouldn’t care as they want a real smoking gun before they react. So it wouldn’t help in the election, and the release would have zero impact.

  Instead, let the next administration deal with it. With Trump now in charge, it really is a rock and a hard place. If there are “loose associations” that make him or his people look bad, and they are the ones to release it, Republicans would not be able to question its authenticity.

  Notice how Trump is now claiming Obama and Biden were manipulating the documents, which is why he won’t release it. This is giving his people a reason to be skeptical even if he does release something that looks bad.

  TLDR, either Democrats are implicated and Biden was protecting, or Biden felt it was better to let the next administration deal with it, especially if the next administration was Trump.

  Probably same applies for most people. Those books are very slow at times and hard to get through.

  It’s interesting that Peter Jackson’s depiction was so good that people now just assume that’s how it always was.
