Whoever wrote the legislation has my vote for reelection. Anything to make roads safer.

You'd vote companies and lobbyists into office?

Yes. They're safer than human drivers. Clearly the tradeoff is worth it.

Why are we focusing on entity A when the parent comment correctly pointed out entities B and C are not blameless either?

The other drivers are blameless. They did what they were supposed to.

Yes, why are we still talking about the robot whose behavior can be programmed and whose behavior is set by a company and rolled out to all of their vehicles deterministically, when another commenter correctly engaged in whataboutism?

We're focusing on the waymo because it did this on its own for some inscrutable reason and there is no individual accountability, which is a far more useful discussion to be having if we are supposed to trust these things to be replacing humans on the road. The humans behavior is only relevant in the sense that now all humans on the road have an additional hazard to factor in: errant waymos that you can't gesture to or yell at or honk at or make any attempt to understand their intentions.

How is this related to what the person you’re replying to said?

They were responding to this:

> The US mostly isn't interested in butchering it's own citizens, slavery is the approach we went with À la the U.S. prison system.

To the extent that one is addressing slavery, the point is generally the number of the enslaved and not particularly their conditions (there is not a "good" way to own people).


Sorry, it’s acceptable to mistreat luggage because the CEO’s comp is higher than yours?

If your employer treated you like crap, would you do the minimum, or more?

Does the CEO having a higher comp than me mean that I’m being treated like crap?

In a literal sense it means you're not valued.

I’m not valued because the CEO’s TC is higher than mine?

Not sure what this means

Is this a serious question? Hahah

In what way does ChatGPT’s understanding of the term DEI not reflect reality?

From the article:

> For example, the AI searches [purportedly related to DEI] flagged .... a film examining how the game of baseball was “instrumental in healing wounds caused by World War I and the 1980s economic standoff between the US and Japan,”

How at all is that DEI? (Surely that should be WWII, yes? The complaint also says "I".)

And, is this also DEI?

> another charting “the rise and reforms of the Native Americans boarding school systems in the U.S. between 1819 and 1934,”

American football would be impoverished without the contributions of Native Americans from the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, an experimental Native American boarding school.

Pratt, who founded the school, wrote "If all men are created equal, then why were blacks segregated in separate regiments and Indians segregated on separate tribal reservations? Why weren't all men given equal opportunities and allowed to assume their rightful place in society? Race became a meaningless abstraction in his mind." Is that also DEI?

Would you care to summarize what DEI means in reality?


The pejorative sense of DEI has probably poisoned the training data. You might be able to prompt around it, but the existing prompt is pretty lazy.

the dataset is poisoned with a definition you disagree with

Agreement or disagreement are irrelevant if you're asking the LLM for something more precise than generalized racial grievance labeled by the public as DEI.

Newsflash: the definition is amorphous to justify whatever people want.

In the sense that viewpoints of people that use the term DEI do not appear to reflect reality?

What kind of sentiment do you think you would find in the training material regarding the term DEI?


Good, I want the platform to squeeze vendors as much as possible. This is how consumers win

We all wear multiple hats in our lives. Consumers. Citizens. Employees. Many more.

Amazon has been really good for us when we wear our consumer hats. Not so much when we wear the others.


High comp, opportunity to work with unparalleled scale, interesting tech, high performance bar.
