In this case, it’s almost charming to use AI slop to represent invasive advertiser slop.

I’m glad they’re citing their sources. But on the other hand most hard quality of life indicators are up globally, even if the perception of the way the world is trending is negative.

That would fall under “congenital anomaly”. What that means legally for the person is anyone’s guess though.

Sex/gender shouldn’t even be something the law can affect - a good law applies to all humans, regardless of what’s in their pants.

I spy some good pieces in there as well. I’d certainly be digging through that bin.

Even BoingBoing is going all in on the anti-adblock popups, sad.

Oh yeah, the big infotainment system could definitely be a factor in bad driving.

Also thanks for pointing out the methodology on how they’re counting fatalities, that easily scratches one item off my list.

I believe you, but do you have any data to support your claim?

Which is odd, because most electric vehicles (including some models of the Tesla) have better crash ratings due to having a crumple zone where the engine would be. Assuming that’s still true, there must be another factor that tips the balance towards deadly accidents. Some thoughts:

  • They are heavy cars. Maybe it’s safer for the passengers but more deadly for the other vehicle.
  • Maybe Tesla drivers are more irresponsible than other car owners.
  • Maybe the torque and acceleration is too high, causing people to lose control more often.
  • Maybe something that doesn’t get rated in the crash ratings causes deaths, eg. electric locks which are unable to open when power is lost, a likely scenario during collisions.
  • Maybe the FSD features are causing more collisions to happen.

When it comes to detecting AI images, we really need to put our best foot forward.

For my cat, the secret is treats. She’ll do anything if you give her a little bit of turkey.

Snowballed is the wrong word. Collapsed into a black hole seems more appropriate, considering the subject matter.

Spooky, the mirror image doesn’t have inverted text. Clearly she fell in love with her doppelgänger through a window.
