Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

imagine if it used AI to decide if the driver was Jewish. Or queer. Or just a particular individual who might be thrown out a window were they in Russia. And it steered itself into a wall and burst into flames, destroying any internal telemetry that might tell the story.

That's basically how the plot of Upload kicks off, and when I realized "holy crap, that's totally possible".

You’re the only other person I have ever heard mention that they had watched that show. I liked it. I thought it was decent, but nobody else seemed to.

Oh, I think it's great. Can't wait till season 4 drops. Definitely an underrated show especially if you like near future, corporate dystopia black comedies. There's also the meta humor that it runs on Amazon Prime Video.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, I thought it was canceled. The last season I saw was season two. I should check out season three!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

AFAIK, it's not canceled. It just goes forever between 10-episode seasons that always end on a cliffhanger.

Edit: Ah, the upcoming fourth season is the final one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Four seasons is a pretty good run for this type of show, IMO; at least if it’s as well planned and thought out as The Good Place (not to dissimilar concept) was!

I think I’m also only around ~2 seasons in, as I cancelled Prime a while back.. might have to fly the black flag and catch up on S03!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I enjoyed it as well! You are not alone, fellow Upload.

Another good one with a related theme of technology morality is Made For Love, I think it's from Max

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, now Made for Love was great. Way better than Upload imo.

Damn, I really forgot that show existed until just now...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It was fine...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How have I never heard of this show?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't even recall how I heard of it, lol, but it's really good. Definitely one of those hidden gems in the sea of crap-quality streaming shows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If you can get over the weird color saturation thing, it wasnt good enough for me to have that bizarre super bright reds and pinks

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Very underrated film. I saw it in theaters and thought everyone was gonna go crazy for it then barely heard anyone talk about it.

Oh, my bad. I was thinking of Upgrade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because it's an Amazon Prime show?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Sorry, I was thinking of Upgrade lol. After all, we are talking about AI powered vehicles.
