Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

One thing he failed to mention here is that all software fails eventually. So imagine one of those fancy graphics scenes he commissioned being a 100+ car pileup because a software glitch caused a car to make a sudden right-hand turn to a street that doesn't exist.

He did mention it. Even showed an example with Tesla causing a 8 car pile up

He showed an example of that happening today. He seemed to be of the impression that something like that can eventually be ironed out, which it can't. At least that was my interpretation.
