darkknight109 05/23/21 4:43:33 AM #203:	LinkPizza posted... You're the only one that doesn't know how context clues work. Or can't remember your own post from like a week ago... When your context clues are ambiguous to the point of worthlessness, that reflects more on your inability to write coherent counterpoints than anything I'm doing. I'm not going to waste my time crawling through the topic trying to figure out what you're responding to if you can't be bothered to put in the bare minimum effort to actually state the subject you're responding to or quote the section in question. LinkPizza posted... Like I have buddy of mine who's parents own a trucking company. Apparently, they have no plans now or in the future to switch to self-driving trucks. Same with my buddy who's getting his own company. Your personal anecdotes are not statistically significant. We literally just went through this. LinkPizza posted... Maybe not all of them feel the same way, but with the amount of people that don't like self-driving vehicles or automation (as proven in some of the first posts), I would think more than half would try to avoid it. Good businesspeople operate on facts, not ill-informed gut feelings. Once the financial driver is there, they will do it. LinkPizza posted... Also, $60,000 is way too low a price. Way too low of a price for what? Please provide context to your sentences or quote what you're responding to, because otherwise it's impossible to tell what you're talking about when you suddenly change subjects like this. LinkPizza posted... And while you can't ban the idea, you can easily ban the physical robots. And ban the AI from being used in certain places... In which case, everywhere that enacts such bans will rapidly fall behind those who allow them, until they are rendered effectively obsolete and will be forced to adapt. Every country that has tried to ban progress, from "Celestial Empire" Japan in the pre-Meiji Restoration era to the late stages of the Qing dynasty in China, has seen themselves fall into stagnation and malaise before ultimately being forced into the future (usually at gunpoint from hostile foes). LinkPizza posted... Like my previous example, self-checkout were invented 30 years ago. And are now widespread, proving my point. LinkPizza posted... You may think it makes the point that AI drivers are better I may think what makes the point that AI drivers are better? Please provide context to your sentences or quote what you're responding to, because otherwise it's impossible to tell what you're talking about when you suddenly change subjects like this. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
