    Working from the definition of sociopathy, I think you could substitute “AI” in a few spots and end up with a nearly equally-accurate definition of AI:

    A sociopath is someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a lack of regard for others’ feelings and rights. People with ASPD may: Lack empathy and remorse Manipulate others for personal gain Behave impulsively or aggressively Break rules or laws Feel little guilt for harming others Seem charming at first Have difficulty understanding others’ feelings

    Reference

    City | Transit Buses have average lengths of 39’2” (11.95 m), widths of 8’4” (2.55 m), heights of 9’10” (2.99 m)

    source

    Most popular “car” in US—Ford F-150

    Overall length, 19.3’ ; Cab height, 6.45’ ; Width - Excluding mirrors, 6.66’

    source

    Lane widths in US vary, but should be between 9’ and 12’ (inclusive range for both local streets and highways)

    source

    Conclusion: Busses are wider than cars, both can fit within driving lanes

    I distributed the watch over a long period of time—I only ever watched episodes while on a lunch break at work. It was an effective way of unplugging and just watching something “familiar”. I would typically bang out (up to) 2-episodes/day, 5-days a week over the course of about 2-years.

    I just checked, and I have not watched the most recent episode, but I’m sure I will while on lunch sometime next week.

    I would argue that majority are not as bad as you imply, though some are a tough watch—like the pointless travel shows, I recall Denmark and Canada as being a difficult watch.

    I agree with the graphic.

    However, I recently completed a straight watch-thru of every Simpsons episode, and while watching the lackluster episodes from seasons 20-30, I have to acknowledge one thing:

    Quality of the show and its writing have noticeably improved since around Season 32.

    The most recent episodes feel more centered on the family and much less on bizarre cameos and really outrageous situations. It actually feels like a show about the Simpson family and treats the characters more age-appropriately.

    I don’t like that they lost/recast established voices of minority characters (Apu, Carl, Dr. Hibbert, etc), I do think the quality and the focus of the show is much better than it has been in almost 2-decades.
