Murderbots

I swear, 10% of the car traffic on SOMA streets these days is composed of single occupancy "self-driving" cars, plastered with their performatively-spinning greeblies and logos, testing this week's git pull of the new "let's see if we know how to not swerve into the bike lane yet" code on me without my consent.

I'm getting used to seeing the bored, dead-eyed stare of the hourly contractors sitting in these murder boxes, wasting fuel by driving in endless loops around my neighborhood, all day and all night long. It's disgusting.

Here's a clip from a video of some asshole "testing" his self-driving car by putting strangers into mortal danger. He starts his video by saying, "I just want to keep doing it for science, and see how it reacts, let's just roll." Fuck you entirely, you monstrously irresponsible piece of shit. After his murderbot almost mows down a crosswalk full of people, he says, "Not perfect! A big improvement, though."

I'm not linking to the original source because you shouldn't give this deadly troll his ad views. Don't reward the kind of person who never saw a Trolley Problem lever he didn't want to wildly yank back and forth.

Also apparently the Musk Defense Crew keep doing DMCA take-downs on Twitter of anyone who reposts it: "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner."
