So things that can already happen. It's also a huge leap to say that anyone will give ai full control over all computers. That's like saying nuclear power is going to kill us all because we're all going to have Davy Crockett tactical nukes. Like I guess that's possible but it's so extremely unlikely that I don't get the hysteria. I think it's articles trying to scare people to get clicks and views.

So, stuff that's already possible.

And without arms or legs?

I don't think you remember it very clearly lol

I think both are true. The truck on the right is super capable, and also dangerous, inefficient, unnecessary for most people.

I drive a VW golf and I love it.

Maybe sometimes, but it's also just a massively more capable vehicle. Sometimes the simplest answer is the truth.

In addition to the payload. Payload goes in the back! Fill it with stones then put five men in it to shovel the stones. You'd need two vans for the same purpose. And if it's roughly the same size, what's the problem? Vans like that can be nice too, we see lots of Ford transits here in the states for tradesmen. Similar use case to what you're describing.

Yeah sure but I guess my point was that it's a false equivalency. The truck on the right is massively more capable than the one on the left. I certainly don't need one that big and most people don't.

Towing capacity, payload weight, carrying 3 more people, bed width, drivetrain? I think many trucks are way too big, and it's silly to own a big work truck if you just use it to go to the grocery store but it's really about so much more than bed size.
