I think "fled" is the wrong word here. "Fled" means "running from" which implies some sort of conscious decision making usually reserved for living things. If you throw a rock and it bounces off Sam Altman's head, you don't say the rock fled from Sam. You just say "Nice shot"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.

If a driver hits someone without realizing it and drives off to continue their day, that's still legally fleeing the scene
sometimes there are remote workers (...Another Indian) who drive these things.
That's wild to think we've managed to outsource the very act of driving to another country. Nothing drives innovation quite like capitalism 🫠
It's a mix. They're like a Sim in The Sims, humans give them instructions and then they run path finding trying to implement it. The humans can take full control if the robots gets completely confused.
Lmao
Right but if we say “fled” we can get everyone all riled up and increase our engagement metrics.
As the spokesperson put it, the robot’s actions may legally constitute fleeing the scene of a traffic incident, meaning Starship Technologies could very well be on the hook for the incident.
Good. Nail them to the wall.
It's funny how everyone is getting riled up about this story. You're only hearing about it because it's unusual. Over 100 people die on the road every day in America, die at the hands of human drivers, not bots.
Flip it around. Wouldn't this seem an odd story if a pedestrian or driver caused this accident? No one would care.
How any cars are there one the road everyday? And how many of these "robots"? Put it in perspective.
