Great short read. But this “ It’s why the world wasted $10B+ on self driving car companies that obviously made no sense.”

Not everything should make sense. Playing , trying and failing is crucial to make our world nicer. Not overthinking is key, see later what works and why.

"that obviously made no sense" is bizarre.

Waymo's driving people around with an injuries-per-mile rate that's lower than having humans do it. I don't see how that reconciles with "obviously made no sense".

"He hates 'em because he ain't 'em" is essentially the whole theme of this rather-disappointing post.

I think he's having a bad day. He's smarter than this.

It would be, if there weren't actual important works that needs funding.
