As a reminder for those unfamiliar with the degree of self-driving afforded by Waymo’s cars, the IIHS points out that they are certified as Level 4, which according to the automation scale created by SAE International, means the computer can do all the driving with no human supervision under certain conditions.

I'm sure they only compared to human drivers in the same conditions, right?

68% is not that great of an improvement in this context. They should be multiple times better with all the tech built in and the constant oversight.

The rationale is that a later question might prejudice your response to an earlier question, so to eliminate bias

Later questions might give context for the earlier questions and going back would let people answer the first question accurately instead of skewing towards the answer they want.

They have Initiative if they are able to act on their own based on their training. As in they don't require being told to do their job all the time, they just do it.

If you don't bother with training then you want self starters and hopefully you are fine with whatever shenanigans they come up with.

I stuck on rule 14 or so where you have to know the country based on street maps, but did have to look up today's wordle (rule 12?) since I don't play that.

People shopped for hemorrhoid medication and anti-wrinkle cream, among other products.

Why would this involve a human or a chatbot in the first place? I prefer an interface that involves neither when shopping online.

This is like saying people prefer being stabbed over being shot.

That doesn't make any sense as a statement. It sounds like you can't force freedom on people, but yeah you can make them free without consent but I don't get how that makes sense in this context.

Multiple countries show socialism works perfectly fine for essential and shared services and other things a society needs. It doesn't work for everything, which is why so many countries are a blend of socialist public stuff like universal healthcare, free education, and those kinds of things whle still having capitalism in the firm of private for profit companies for non-essential stuff like restaurants and clothing stores.

Note that if the country has socialist in the name it probably isn't actually socialist in practice.

Like I said,

it isn’t like being nice would change their mind

They need to be scolded and told they are doing the wrong things. That is the only way they could possibly learn, which they won't because if they weren't stupid they would have caught on to the fact that they are supporting awful stuff.

But at least I get to vent and maybe somebody ignorant about the details will catch on.

I'm nice to everyone unless I find out they are a piece of shit. Voting for Trump's second term and/or supporting him after everything he has done makes someone a piece of shit.

If they change their mind and start opposing Trump they stop being an active piece of shit and can work towards repairing the damage they did. As long as they aren't actively being a piece of shit I'm fine being nice.
