Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

Mark Rober set up one of the most interesting self-driving tests of 2025, and he did it by imitating Looney Tunes. While the Tesla plowed straight into the wall, the LiDAR-based system detected the painting as a solid object and stopped in time. Researchers at the National University of Ireland in Galway and Ireland’s Center for Applied AI have been looking into this exact problem since 2021. 🖋️🤖

Incels furious at TV show for accurately depicting incel culture

Netflix’s new drama Adolescence depicts incel culture as the toxic echo chamber it so demonstrably is. The four-episode series has drawn criticism from incels for its “unfairly realistic’ depiction of their forums, beliefs, fashion choices, and suspiciously dim lighting. 🖋️🤖

Mom of child dead from measles: “Don’t do the shots,” my other 4 kids were fine

Babysitter checking for monsters finds man hiding under child’s bed

A babysitter in Kansas found a troubling surprise after a child she was watching complained there was a “monster” hiding. The babysitter found a man hiding under a child’s bed after they attempted to show the children there was nothing under there, the Barton County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Wednesday. “She came face-to-face with a male suspect who was hiding there,” the sheriff’s office said. Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home just outside the city of Great Bend at 10:30 p.m. on Monday after they were called about the disturbance. After the deputies arrived, the babysitter told the deputies that when the man was discovered, there was an altercation. 🖊️️🤖

📰 Colombia Faces a New Problem: Too Much Cocaine (direct link), posted in Strange Times (👍81 👎4)

Colombia Faces a New Problem: Too Much Cocaine

For decades, one industry has sustained the small, remote Colombian village of Caño Cabra: cocaine. Later, they mix the leaves with gasoline and other chemicals to make chalky white bricks of coca paste. But two years ago, the villagers said, something alarming happened: The drug traffickers who buy the coca paste and turn it into cocaine stopped showing up. The same pattern was repeated again and again in communities across the country where coca is the only source of income. Colombia, the global nexus of the cocaine industry, where Pablo Escobar became the world’s best-known criminal, and which still produces more of the drug than any other nation, is facing tectonic shifts as a result of domestic and global forces that are reshaping the drug industry. 🖊️️🤖
