And in that short quote, Altman tells us all we need to know about him in particular and Silicon Valley in general.

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Best wishes to all.

One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ.

For all this he received death-threats throughout his life.

A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options.

TBF, the human in this particular case made a bad decision. If they’d asked another person to stand in front of the Waymo, they could have retrieved the cat safely.

You simply cannot program an algorithm to predict and react correctly to the potentially unbounded anomalies it will encounter in the course of its operations. Humans, OTOH, are uniquely equipped to do so
