Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of American warplanes hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in liberalism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

  • Yeah, that makes sense, especially with the object permanence issues for cruise. I've worked on similar systems with vision data and figuring out how an object leaves frame is significantly easier said than done. My big qualm with that video is the degree it minimized the danger of human drivers. The advantage of autonomous vehicles isn't traffic reduction or price or any of the topics he mentioned; rather it's that machines don't get drunk or high or tired or angry. Autonomous vehicles aren't a permanent solution, however, as a concept they serve as harm reduction by being significantly safer than humans when comparing mileage.




  • They already have killed several people

    I have been unable to corroborate this with any sources. To me it seems like most of their collisions are the result of people not paying attention and rear ending them at stoplights. I also heavily doubt that they only avoid known objects because of how easy it is to imprison them by putting random things in their vicinity and by their comically incremental right turns.














  • Those 15,000 aren't just combat roles and grindable meat; a lot of them are in support and technical roles. There are a lot of roles in which removing 1 person creates a sizable inconvenience for many and can harm operations. You are correct that trans people are overrepresented as saboteurs in the military, but almost all of those people joined pre-transition and seeing the contradictions of US empire radicalized them. The trans people who have transitioned and then joined are more often than not dyed-in-the-wool believers in the US empire who don't have the same opportunity for radicalization.
