San Francisco famously has never had a significant earthquake, so surely Waymo has no need to consider the public safety impacts in a major disaster.

This #waymogeddon currently ongoing in the #sanfranciscohellscape is such a fantastic demonstration of the fundamental limits of #ai. These systems may sometimes do an adequate job when asked to “paint by numbers”, but as soon as anything even slightly novel occurs they’re far worse than useless.

SF’s is having a massive power outage. We ended up having to drive across SF to find a laundromat to dry our soaking wet laundry. Here’s my two observations: every third block is a traffic jam caused by a confused Waymo that doesn’t know how to handle these intersections with no power. Why are […]

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

I am an adult. I’m short, yes, but this is ridiculous. The hood on this truck is higher than my shoulder. It forms in 90° angle with the ground. hideous! There’s no way they could see me in the crosswalk. They were double parked. Even with the engine off it […] [Original post on sauropods.win]

Everyone I’ve shared this record with has fallen in love with Diana’s voice immediately. We brought the mastering engineer to tears — and not for the wrong reasons. 🤣 Diana told me she’s keeping this exclusive to physical and Bandcamp, so if you wanna hear it, it won’t be on your streaming […]

We went from "we will deport the worst of the worst" to "we will deport anyone here illegally" to "we will round up anyone who looks wrong" to "people who live in cities are the enemy" essentially overnight.

Today I learned about the Roman history of public strike, aka "secession of the plebs." Like, the "commoners" withdrew from Rome and let the patrician class fend for itself, for months and sometimes years. FIVE separate times that we know of. #til #history #politics #rome #strike […]

It’s #newmusicfriday and I’ve got a fresh release to share that I’m very proud of. The California Honeydrops just dropped their latest record: Redwood Highway. It’s a collection of chill recordings that always felt magical but didn’t quite have a place on previous albums, and new acoustic […]

I’m so heartbroken reading the news about bay area musician Rob Reich. I regret not making it to more of his gigs while there was still time, I guess I took it for granted that the bay was blessed with his talent for so long. We only did a few recording projects over the years, but every one of […]
