In case you, or anyone else, actually care or are interested, there's a great deep dive video on the history of "FASTPASS" by the youtube channel Defunctland.

This is actually rather impressive. Care to share the prompt you used?

Don’t know about this specifically but if you ever watch Rainbolt you know that NYC is pretty legendary for providing crazy data to the public (for example a database of all trees, or insane detail street information)

More and more I’m coming to the realization that they’re definitely not the good guy, but certainly seem to be the least bad.

I know this is all just tongue-in-cheek, but for the record, they only drove it around for 30 min around the lab site, not on the open roads.

I strongly disagree. Tahoe is horrible but Mac hardware is terrific. Have you seen a Neo?

I think Apple is hitting it out of the park (falling behind in many other areas)

You make some fair points here, but I'm unclear as to whether you're claiming Geerling's video is an example of an "overwhelmingly negative take on AI".

If so, my suspicion is that you didn't watch it.

There are no "language police".

I think about this quote from Ricky Gervais a lot. He's had more than a few controversies, which you may or may not agree with but I think his take here is apt.

"Please stop saying 'You can't joke about anything anymore'. You can. You can joke about whatever the fuck you like. And some people won't like it and they will tell you they don't like it. And then it's up to you whether you give a fuck or not. And so on. It's a good system."

Ugh, thought at first you might be just being mean but a quick look at its other comments 100% confirms. I don’t understand — what’s even the point of such comment slop. I mean on Reddit it’s for karma and selling accounts or whatever. But here on HN?
