Yep, eerily similar. It's not even clear what these ships are supposed to do well.

I think you're both right. What's really important is the lives at stake, and only the software can really meaningfully improve, but the incentives aren't there right now to make those improvements happen.
One thing to consider though, is the incentives can always be tweaked. Maybe the robo taxi company barely blinks at a $100,000 fine, they chuckle about a $1 million fine, do they still laugh about a $50 million fine? They may really start to sweat over a $200 million fine. And hey, I can think of larger numbers, we can always provide them a better incentive (while financing the state).
Which time? I mean it's sort of a time honored tradition...
Which I guess, means that burning the library of Alexandria is in itself an expression of culture.
(* well, they're not dangerous because they are radioactive. It could turn out that they're dangerous for some other reason.)
Once my mate Paul was crushed by a palette of bananas. The crazy thing is, it put a load of pressure on his bowels and he shit all over the place. There was just shit and bananas everywhere. But Paul never got cancer, so I guess he was pretty lucky.
These bodies are complete shit. Evolution consistently results in biological forms that barely work. That's what it does, it produces a bare minimum viable product, so that's what we are.
This jumble of nerves and synapses and hormones and gut bacteria that we call a mind is a huge fucking tangled mess. Truthfully, it's tragic that we have to live in these bargain bin bodies that break down constantly and often didn't work right from the start.
I don't have an uplifting end to this rant.
We're all in it together?
Bring back Ethernet ports everywhere! Ethernet 4 all!
Seriously dude, I thought we talked about this.
Having typed out long urls by hand, I appreciate the QR code.
That said, they aren't applicable everywhere, they shouldn't be used everywhere.

Yes! Let the hate flow through you!

Sure, you know everyone's favorite ship, the aircraft carrier, well wait till you meet the drone carrier! It's just as big for some reason, but it mostly carries drones and guided missiles and it probably sails alongside a traditional carrier, because it can't actually perform all of the same duties. This is how we'll be able to spend more than ever before.
