Not too hard to achieve after seeing how dead set Musk is on killing Twitter…
Nothing a VPN can’t solve
If we’re lucky he’ll piss off his Russian contacts and end up falling out a window by accident.
More likely is that this puppet will be used by bad actors to advance their agendas and as usual he’ll distract everybody from the actual bad shit happening.
This issue has been explored previously, and with a better example of the trolley problem that centers the ethical dilemma entirely on the autopilot.
I do agree that in most situations, the driver retains full control over the vehicle, and therefore remains fully responsible, even if there’s a case to be made that the autopilot neglected the safety of others outside the car.
However, I’d also argue that this example leaves a possibility where fault cannot be assigned to them: If the driver became aware of the hazards at a reasonable time (i.e. spotting the pedestrians just around a sharp bend, rather than 200m down a straightaway), and made every reasonable effort to stop within that time but could not. There are limits to the driver’s responsibility, but the most interesting cases are crashes that the autopilot is capable of preventing (even if the driver reasonably cannot), but fails to do so.
Bro, is this really the time for that 💀
You could always don a stage persona like Marshmello or Daft Punk. Then nobody cares what you look like under the mask.
This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.
Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It’s the only way this gets better.
Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.
This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn’t acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.
It does exist: that’s what Late Stage Capitalism was all about.
Honest fact based journalism is an essential pillar of a functional democracy. Being informed is absolutely in the public interest, and government funding should support it, precisely because it often isn’t profitable or sustainable for private companies (as we keep seeing over the years).
I don’t understand why this is so hard to grasp. And the people whining about liberal bias and calling for defunding of public media are missing the forest for the trees (even if some of the journalism is questionable in quality).
Believe me it’s as pathetic as it sounds.
Easiest way to get laughed out of the courtroom when you attempt to use it as a legal defense.
