A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Beyond the technical challenges, which I believe will be overcome, there are serious noise, safety, and energy consumption issues with these machines that need to be addressed if they are to actually benefit society. If these are not addressed, hopefully regulators will keep them out of cities. But I don’t necessarily have a lot of faith that society’s leaders will put the common good ahead of the whims of the rich.
