Always had a suspicion, but its nice to know that you can just generally assume the worst about a technology these days.

I’m not sure why everyone is acting disingenuously like this is a groundbreaking discovery that Waymos aren’t real and it’s all a mechanical turk. It’s not like the fake Amazon stores. Anyone that’s even mildly familiar with the Waymos knows that humans remote in when the autonomous mode can’t handle it.

Let’s hold ourselves to just a marginally higher standard instead of falling head over heels for fake news maybe?

Yes, I get it, AI and tech bad. But that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying this is genuinely such a weird comment section, everyone is lost in hyperreality.

Yeah I thought it was known (and a good thing!) that when Waymo’s get confused there are remote humans to take over

I don’t think they should exist in the first place but if they’re going to, I definitely want there to be human operators who can cake over if the robot fucks up
