Reposted by Ethan TeicherEthan Mollick @emollick.bsky.social · 06/02/2026This is not what is happening at all. The amount of misinformation on BlueSky about AI is insane, and it keeps promising that AI is all hype that is going away soon. A really dangerous position that cedes all AI policy and decisions about how it will be used to others. Also Futurism is clickbait 1927440
Ethan Teicher @ethanteicher.bsky.social · 16/01/2026We know way more about Waymo crashes and its safety record than some experts pretend. www.theargumentmag.com/p/we-absolut...theargumentmag.comWe absolutely do know that Waymos are safer than human driversWhat Bloomberg got very wrong about self-driving cars 572

Ethan Teicher @ethanteicher.bsky.social · 16/12/2025More Waymo safety data published today, this time looking at 127 million fully autonomous miles driven through Sept 25. We estimate human drivers would have been involved in 411 more injury crashes over the same distance, including 48 with pedestrians. 121

Reposted by Ethan TeicherTommaso Sciortino @sciortino.bsky.social · 15/08/2025I just saw a waymo stop at a green light to let an ambulance through. Then the light changed before it had a chance to get through so it backed up to give pedestrians the crosswalk. It was safe to do this because there were no cars behind it which it must have known. Honestly pretty impressive. 2364
