  • Most rigs go at least 1,000,000 miles and that isn’t isn’t even end off life. You’ll be paying not much less than new for a rig that only has 100k, that’s practically brand new. These systems should have 100 million proven miles. These things weight 80,000lbs which can be very hazardous materials.

    You should see the pile ups semis cause in low visibility. Even with really good lidar, I hesitant to say autonomous trucks can be safe running off independent systems on full mixed use roads.

    We could add those systems to all roads to feed back to semis to know conditions and hazards miles before they reach them. We could build new smart roads for all autonomous vechilce to travel on separately.

    Or we could just end the 100+ year old railroad cartel. Could move people and cargo with ease. But that isn’t profitable.

    Every Walmart/target/major retailer in the US has been using facial recognition since 2020-2021. ClearView provides the services to both corporations and law enforcement, combing the data from both of those into profiles of every citizen. The US has as much if not more surveillance than China, its just not upfront about it. And its also without a doubt illegal so in can’t be used as a primary source in convictions and is usually not even mentioned to retain secrecy about the level of data collected.


  • I think he made a good video but I couldn’t stop thinking about this new “anti-consumerism consumerism”. So many “I needed my phone to do x, so I bought this to do that.” Even without the immediate ability to buy anything anywhere he is fundamentally locked into this mindset of “I need so I buy”.

    Could have used parental controls(like so many “adults” need to have their friends set on their phone) and locked your phone as only a phone. Delete every app that isn’t essential. You can make your phone useless when you’re bored, you can pick it up but nothing will be there to give you “relief”. No distractions, no ability to install distractions. Your phone is yours, you can have it do whatever you want. I guess some people are just so addicted they can’t even be near it. They’re like people that stop smoking just to get addicted to vaping. Still addicted, just not to the old dirty style of getting your fix.


  • If you’ve been inside a Walmart or target or many other major retailers in the last 5 years, you’re already in the database.

    Super cute edits:

    “You’re already in the system, whether it is a system that involves a conviction, an arrest or being a member of the community on social media,” said local defense attorney “You’re part of that system, you’re part of that database, for better or for worse. You’re there.”

    “The lack of laws and legislation is a bit troubling because we seem to need to catch up to a technology that’s way ahead of us,”
