The general public is stupid.

That’s why they purchase goods and services (from others) and then cry about things they don’t and probably never will understand.

And why they can be ignored and just fed some slop to feel better.

I could lie but that’s the cold truth.

Edit: I'm not sure if the repliers are being dense (highly likely), or you just skipped over context (you can click the "context" link if you're new here)

> So the TechCrunch headline should be "Waymo hits child better than a human driver would"? Not sure if the details reflect how the general public actually interprets this story (see the actual TC headline for exhibit A).

That is the general public sentiment I was referring to.

So if they were 100% self-sufficient and understood everything they'd be smart enough to interpret a child being hit at 6 mph as progress? Fun how "general public" is always a "they" vs "you".

That's impossible though. And you and I are part of the general public as well, for things we don't understand.

It isn't me vs them. It is just me being self-aware. Clearly, you had a problem with what I said so I must have struck a nerve.

Welcome to the real world bro.

		Your comment sounds like subconsciously you're trying to come off as stronger than the general public, which begs the question: Why? Why do you need to prove your strength over the populace?

You ARE the general public. _I_ am the general public.

		are you being dense on purpose, or you just don't understand how context works? hint, check out the "context" link look at what I was replying to. if you still don't get it, then yeah I'm just proving my point and you can keep crying about it. > So the TechCrunch headline should be "Waymo hits child better than a human driver would"? Not sure if the details reflect how the general public actually interprets this story (see the actual TC headline for exhibit A). That is the general public sentiment I was referring to. The fact that you go around asking dumb questions in bad faith to people is enough for me, last time I engage with you. Have a good life!
