Just realized AI ethics felt like a hobby debate before it got real

We used to toss around ideas like they were just fun brain games. Now, I read about self-driving car crashes and feel sick thinking how we rushed into this.

Started unplugging for a week when it got too heavy. Realized the debate never stopped, I just needed a break.

After seeing that crash, I finally get why @lucasw57 had to step back. I was all in on self-driving cars, but the reality check hit hard. Now I'm not so sure about the whole thing.

That Seattle crash last week made my stomach DROP, it's not theoretical anymore.

Seriously, that crash got to me too. I saw the video and my blood ran cold. It's easy to talk about stats until you see metal twisted around a bus bench. I live over in Portland and it suddenly felt way too close. Now every time I hear that self-driving hum I tense up. It went from future news to a real problem overnight.
