Perhaps "nobody" is slight exaggeration. But I guarantee that more people would buy Girl Scout cookies for $5 than a mystery box for $200.

Nobody just gives away $200, and buying a "mystery box" from an anonymous stranger is the same thing.

The signal to noise ratio is so low these days. There's so much information out there but everyone wants to profit from you before you can get it. Even worse, the people with good information generally can't buy as big a megaphone as the people who profit from lying to you.

Honestly, I think humans have been more likely to believe an easy lie than a hard truth all along, but it's easier than ever these days.

I suspect it would be difficult to generate enough data to intentionally change a dataset. There are certainly little holes, like the glue pizza thing, but finding and exploiting them would be difficult and noticing you and blocking you as a data source would be easy.

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn't he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

They'd probably just turn back into grizzlies eventually.

I'm not saying this will definitely reverse the Earth's polarity and doom all life on earth, but do we really want to take that chance?!
