Adam Savage has a very similar story meeting Robin Williams on the set of Bicentennial Man and getting a essentially a private show from him for a few minutes. Robin Williams was an amazing human being, flaws and all.
I deployed a few of these. They were 10 years behind the curve. The monitor weighed as much as a flat panel from 15 years ago, the stand was fucking HUGE making it hard to move. The camera and microphone were an afterthought and not worth using (the mic would pick up every little touch on the Jamboard). The entire thing felt like it was built for design first rather than function
Have you been watching Ahsoka? I personally feel they are at least trying to take the story in the direction you're talking about. Sabine has next to no force powers, but is taken on as an apprentice by a former Jedi, there's another former Jedi who is framed as a sith but still holds attachments to his former life (didn't go full Darth Vader).
The current GOP frontrunner has changed his political affiliation 5 times. Text book example of what you're saying: changing positions for power, nothing else.
To add onto this, one of the Arkham games had a bug in the last fight with Joker that wouldn't let you finish the fight with mouse/keyboard. It was a QTE and it would recognize the button press, but wouldn't recognize you were holding it down, so the animation kept resetting like you were taunting the joker before finally finishing him off.
People have become too entitled with the idea that all information should and must be updated and accurate in the information age.
I grew up learning how to read the Rand McNally maps. Imagine if one of those maps showed a road/bridge was available only to find out it wasn't. It's not the map makers responsibility, nor do they have an obligation for 100% accuracy. They strive for accuracy only because it's good for their business.
I saw in the article that they're suing the road owners. Those are who are responsible, not Google. They took down the barricades because of "vandalism" and didn't immediately replace them.
I work with a group based in India. They have a completely different culture around messaging. Things I would consider worthy of an email comes as a message from them (i.e. doesn't need immediate attention/ escalation).
They are also very formal when initiating new messages, almost like they're following the same social standards as if they met you in the hallway (e g. Hi, how are you? Btw, I have this thing I need to talk to you about.). Mind you, this is all the time after exchanging dozens of messages a day.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, just lends some credence to what Musk said.
And people turn their heads, move their eyes across their windshield, change focus to look ahead or closer, look in their mirrors, listen for sounds (emergency vehicles, car honks, etc), are able to do things like look through gaps and other car windows to adjust to partial obstructions.
The fact that he doesn't realize you need a multitude of sensors to do even a little bit of what a human can do tells you all you need to know about Elon's so called brilliance.
One thing I love about the GOP is to see them constantly abandon their pawns. Kim Davis, Joe the Plumber, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc.... All of these people were mainstage for their 15 minutes of fame and the moment the GOP had wrung them out for all the outrage bait they can generate, they get left in the deep end to fend for themselves.
