Apparently driverless/autonomous robovan like buses have already been deployed on the streets of Guangzhou for some time. https://t.co/1bksj6lFCi

To be clear, I found the demo impressive nonetheless. Remote control is the first milestone in making these robots autonomous. It enables massive data collection and eventually model training once there are enough behavioral and movement data collected.

"Megalopolis" was either the best bad movie, or the worst good movie, I've ever seen. I'm not sure which.

SF Nonprofits Don’t Work

The local “independent” media fails us. They lie to us. Ask yourself why real leaders have to post things like this? It’s so egregious. They are not independent and are extremely partisan. They do political work disguised as “journalism”

This is how SF will rebound from the brokenness: Bay Area leaders fighting for policies that work instead of virtue signal garbage Push the hard left political machine completely out of power and the SF boom loop is guaranteed
