Ah, but that's the whole benefit; if you use robots then that $3 bushel of corn which used to sell for $8 during the price spike can now be sold for $12 to gullible rubes because you can stick the word "Organic" on it.
Of course if everyone starts using robots instead of pesticides then the price difference drops and the farmers are no better off than they were when they started... but, in the meantime, why not take advantage?
It's a rarity because the vast majority of those miles are driven in places/situations where pedestrians aren't around and could only get themselves killed if they were suicidal. It's a stupid way to think about it.
As you know, past performance is no indication of future's.
Given the choice between a million year trend and the doomsday predictions of the current generation, always bet on the trend.
The rest of your comment is rambling, at times incoherent, and generally wrong.... and while I do appreciate the time you've put into it I simply have no interest in arguing with you about a half dozen different topics which you clearly do not understand. Sorry about that. No hard feelings I hope.
Ah, so if a reckless feature naming choice results in the death/serious bodily harm of people you don't like,* it's fine. Got it.
Yes, I am perfectly fine with this. Like if some dumbass reads "seat belt" and puts it around the seat rather than around himself, I'm perfectly fine with whatever happens to him.
Its not intelligence. Just vast amount of data related to any given task thats on a really fast computer with time to get ready for expected questions. Do anything human the preprogrammed "AI" is not expecting and the AI is lost and has to take time to "learn".
How is this different from a young child? Or an adult with severe autism?
The fact is "AI" has become an empty meaningless term.
I don't think so. The fact that it can encompass many different degrees of "intelligence" or some simulation thereof does not make it meaningless. That's like saying the term "vehicle" is meaningless because it can encompass a horse-drawn cart, a transport truck, a train, and the space shuttle.
Sounds great, except that's not how companies see AI.
That's true, except it doesn't matter how they see it. Prior generations also saw technology as a way to eliminate jobs and increase profits. And yet we are all better off for it today.
Notice the pattern here?
The main pattern I notice is that you seem to believe that eliminating jobs and increasing profit is inherently a bad thing, or somehow contradicts the idea that we will have plenty of jobs and wealth in the future.

Over 90% of all glyphosate produced and used EVER has been in the past 20 years. 70% in just the last 10.
Duh. Couldn't very well spray it on crops until we developed roundup resistant crops.
Do you trust Monsanto to proactively limit the amount of Roundup you consume?
No, I trust my faucet.
Original guy was even more wrong, suggesting that weed killers somehow led to a huge reduction in bugs.

Agreed. So your answer essentially boils down to "it's not really any different"?

Ah, of course. Damn those politically correct AIs. I'm sick and tired of not being able to buy a car which randomly yells out "ni**er" and "kike".

the current epidemic of gun violence
I think you mean the current hysteria over gun violence. Either that or you don't remember the 90s.
Amazing. I don't think I'll ever tip again.
Uber driver? That's not even a real job.
Right. As opposed to "waiter".
Right, the auto industry jobs from Detroit are all going to leave Detroit for another place.
How the fuck you think that's gonna work?
FTFY
That's not at all what he said. Or do you think that Netflix is somehow being artificially repressed and kept from making a profit?
I have not yet to see one person mention any job that will open.

The soviet union wasn't even the true concept of communism
Right, just like Hitler's Germany wasn't even the true concept of Nazism. We just need to give it another chance folks!
A sizable chunk has to go to shareholders and executive bonuses, otherwise there is no incentive for management to change anything.
You say this in response to an article which discusses employers losing $1 million per day thanks to a union strike.
Right. No incentive at all.
Middle-class standard of living has been stagnant for about 50 years now.
Nobody over the age of 15 believes this nonsense.
Correction: no sane person. So no commies, even if you find a few over the age of 15.
Don't think; you weaken the nation.

that's what I want "Libya model" to mean
FTFY. It's a common error amongst was criminals like you.
You have to be a special kind of cunt in order to label all of Europe and North America as uncivilized.

By the way pork tastes gross, eat beef instead.
If you think bacon tastes gross your biology has horribly failed you.
