It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

“Umm sweaty, these are edge cases”

Completely unpredictable and unimaginable scenarios such as “child walking across street”

“Umm ackshually if you really think about it, it was the child’s fault for existing”

Wall

“It’s not perfect but it’s better than you”

I’ve never run over a child, but I guess that’s just me

“Humans make mistakes too”

I’m only machine after all, don’t put the blame on me

Here’s a handy checklist for you to assemble your pathetic defense of Tesla:

Deny that anything is wrong.
Deflect blame onto others, even your infant child.
Evade the question.
Justify it.

The problem with the edge cases/humans cause errors too argument is that, yes humans make mistakes. However, assuming no impairment issues from drugs/alcohol/sleep deprivation, humans are pretty good at recognizing when they’ve made a mistake: “There’s headlights coming at me, I must’ve drifted into opposite traffic.” Computer programs, however, are not good at adjusting to novel situations; if the code doesn’t have an algorithm to deal with a situation or encounters a type of object it doesn’t have in its database, not only is it going to do a wrong thing, it’s not going to know it’s doing a wrong thing. It’s like the brooms from the Fantasia piece, if they don’t have the programming for reacting to a flooded room they’ll just keep piling water in.

Of course, the real answer here is build more public transit, eliminate stroads, and limit speeds to ~20 mph/30 km/h in places where pedestrians and cars have to interact. Tech bros would rather build ridiculous solutions than have to be around a poor person on the metro.
