Remember when people were vandalizing Teslas? It got declared terrorism, people were facing 20 year prison times and that was the end of it.

But the counterpoint is that we'd likely have moon bases and be on Mars by now. Elon has stated that SpaceX would have been able to evolve much faster without ITAR, well at least he did in the era before he went full MAGA: https://www.instagram.com/reel...

So now the narrative is blame immigrants for taking your jobs, while the AI takes it.

What degrees do they have?

The CEOs will sell some fake BS about serving humanity too (aka become a corporate slave), but with Wozniak .. you know the guy lives it. He follows his passion, tries to actually make things that are useful .. compare that with a CEO who is trying to balance making the cheapest possible product with the highest possible quarterly profits. Grads need to see that. We need the next generation to care about each other, and to be Steel (of the Richard Matheson story).

He is exactly the right guy for a commencement speech -- providing the right blend of inspiration and "serve humanity" reminder, not the creep CEOs.

Mythos probably did it.

I rather not. I prefer to take a RISC.

Yet robot taxis have proven safer than human in all those situations. And even if they aren't,, they are overall safer by 10x already with today's tech. And that's btw with very little investment into the tech, since everyone still thinks there is no way a car can drive itself --- even though they've been doing it for 5 years.

Cost and safety. Robotaxis will be a lot cheaper (in towns/cities) than owning a car. They will also be safer too, they get into far less accidents than human driven cars. https://waymo.com/safety/impac... That alone should override everything else. Another aspect of safety, many women only want to take robotaxis (seen in SF, AZ, TX etc.) In Atlanta where Waymos have to be ordered via the Uber app many women just keep canceling their ride in the app until it's a Waymo: https://www.businessinsider.co...

I don't want to take transit. It stinks, it's unsafe, and takes away too long to get places. Humans don't need jobs, they need things. Robots can provide those things. Oh and if I want a job, if the car is driving itself, I can earn more money and even create new jobs by working from car.

Back in 2017 a different group succeeded in enabling a goat fetus to grow in an artificial womb: https://www.nature.com/article...
Now, Colossal claims their about 99% finished developing artificial womb tech: https://decrypt.co/368543/arti...

Me want. Yes.

Ironically, aside from the jury, they seem to be the least sleazy people involved in this particular case. I know that's not saying much at all.

Non-profits "transfer" to for-profits all the time. Churches do: https://www.startchurch.com/bl...
